ARRESTING SUSPECTS.

Arrests of suspects have been made at
Hamburg, Leipsic, Berlin and elsewhere
The police watching the chancellor's resi-
dence on the WilhelmStrasse have been
quadrupled. The official expectation is
that the emperor will authorize some
striking severity against the socialists
Every socialist leader resents the report as
a mere pretext for ieacticnary measures,
besides being gross misrepresentation of
the socialist spirit. They have no desire
to shorten the days OF the chancellor or of
the emperor. They wish to pursue a
peaceful propaganda in the hope that the
events OF Emperor Williams reign will
tend naturally to develop their case.
CHANGES IN OFFICIALS.
Besides the retirement of Gen. Won Cap
rivi from the admiralty, changes are
about to be made in several high com
mands The emperor displays personal
bias both in the choice of household officers
and III the wedding out of some of the oldest
corps commanders. The selection of Herr
Wedell-Presderf as minister of the royal
household is the emperor's personal nomina-
ton, but it cannot be regarded as other
than judicious choice. Count Won Stol-
berg long ago desired to resign the office
and goes willingly.
Gen. Prince Won Radziwill and Gen
Count Won Schndorff, who were aIdes-de-
camp to both Emperor William and En-
peror Frederick, will retire, as will also

the commanders of the Ninth and Seventh
corps respectively.
OTHER CHANGES TO BE MADE.
Besides these, other changes are about to
be announced. The emperor clearly means
to get rid of the old geuerals whom his
grandfather was reluctant to dismiss.
The post of chief of admiralty
will be kept vacant until the
emperor overhauls the whole staff He is
working upon naval schemes with as
! much assiduity as he attends to army busi-
ness. Hitherto the chief of the admiralty
has been drawn from the army. The EN-.
peror wants to appoint an admiral as chief
! and draw staff almost exclusively from
naval ports. The officials of the admiralty
predict that there is being prepared an in
| crease in the construction of first class
| ironclads, with less expenditure on the tor
pedo fleet.
- THE CIVIL LIST.

the proposal to increase the dotation.
The new coinage bearing the head Of
William ii. will be ready in July. The

Apart from the better prospects of peace
the increase is due to an increase of Russian
