BERLIN, June 24.-Public confidence
in the pacific desires OF William II. has
been strengthened since the appearance
on Thursday of the address dictated by
his Majesty to be read in the pulpits to-.
day. The most notable passages Of the
address refer to Emperor Frederick rs
aiming to achieve n work Of peace, un-
concerned by the splendor OF the great
deeds that have made the history OF
Germany, desiring to be satisfied II his
were beneficent to the nation and use
ful TO the country and blessing to the
Empire.
The address further says: "God did
not permit him to realize altogether the
thoughts and principles that had silent
ly ripened in his mind, but now that he
has left us We must keep his memory in
honor, impioring God to arm the pres
ent Emperor with strength to exercise
his calling to the blessing OF the nation."
This tribute TO the peace sentiment Of
his father has inspired the people with
the hope that the reign OF William II.
will be less OF militant absolutism than
had been feared.
The coronation OF the Emperor is ex-
pected to be, like the Inauguration OF
the RGichStag, "reminiscences OF the
reign OF the grandfather. The ceremony
will take place on October Is, the ami
versary at once of the birthday OF En-
peror Frederick and the date on which
William l. was crowned in 1861.
The period OF court mourning for En-
peror William expires the middle OF
September. About the same time the
autumn military maneuvers will be
opened on an extensive scale, culmina-
ting in fetes at konigsberg in Celebra-
ton Of the accession OF the new mon
arch, when William will crown himself
and his consort King and Queen OF
Prussia, thus emphasizing, after the ex-
ample Of his grandfather, the doctrine OF
the divine right OF Kings. These and
other preliminary labors OF his reign,
stretching far into the autumn, are held
to be important factors in retarding an
outbreak OF war. The official circle
never attributed to the Emperor an in
tention to cause an Immediate war that
would convulse Europe, nor IN inten-
ton to rush headlong into enterprises
LIluC WOlllu lInpeFlI tne unity OF tue ELL
pire. Apart from the restraining inhu-
cnces OF Prince Bismarck, the En-
peror's bias is, for the preseut, toward
the acquisition OF knowledge of the per-
sonal forces with which he must deal in
governing.
Prince Bismarck is therefore making
fora meeting between En-
peror William and Emperor Francis
Joseph and King Humbert. The Crown
Prince OF Austria will come to Berlin in
August. The report that the Car pro-
poses to visit Stettin, though it comes
from doubtful Polish sources, is proba-
bly, correct.
The changes in the Ministry and I'm
perial household have not yet been set
tied. The Conservative press demand
the recall OF Herr Won Puttkamer The
Nationals urge the claims OF MIGUEL and
Bennigsen, both ofwhom had interviews
with Prince Bismarck during the past
week. Meanwhile Herr Won Puttkamer
will not return to the Cabinet, but the
Emperor will give him post in tho
household.
