BERLIN, Oct. 27.-The municipal deputa-
tion in waiting upon Emperor William to-
day, presented an address of welcome on the
occasion of his return home, and were
startled by some emphatic remarks in the
course of the emperor's reply on the scandal
and gossip of the press affecting the impe-
rial family. The deputation requested por-
mission to erect on the Schloss Platz in
memory of the emperor's visit to Vienna
and Rome a fountain designed by Prof.
Begas, an artist. The emperor expressed
his qualification and interest in the under
taking. The people Of Berlin, he said, had
followed his journey and knew that the
friendly reception which he met with every
where was not intended only for himself but
rather for the German empire.
WARM APPRECIATION.
For the pleasant surprise which the
municipal represen tatives prepared for him
he thanked them all; much more for the
reason that it happened to come on tho day
when the Church of tho Holy Cross, In
which his father, the Emperor Frederick,
had always shown the greatest interest, was
consecrated. The emperor expressed hope
that he would soon see more such fine
churches erected in Berlin. He trusted
that his journeyings would have the best
results for the empire. He had learned
with regret that during his absence, while
using his best efforts for the interests of
he empire, disputes have arisen in the
Berlin press regarding the affairs Of
members Of his own family. Attacks were
made such as would not be tolerated by nor
permitted against any private individual
He requested the deputation to do their ut
most to put stop to the unseemly discus
sion, as it concerned them all. He desired
to live among the people Of Berlin as a Ber
liner He relied upon the representatives
of the capital to respond to that desire.
NO REPLY MADE.
None of the members ventured to make
any remark upon the emperor's unexpected
reproaches. Even if etiquette had allowed
it, they were too much amazed to respond
The emperor spoke in quiet tone, which
was utterly devoid of anger, but his words
and manner left the impression that he felt
acutely the attacks that had been made.
Tomorrow Emperor William will go to
| Friederichsruhe, where he will spend
the night and proceed to Hamburg Mon
day. Count Herbert Bismarck and Ministers
| Won Boetticher, Won Gossler, Won Scholz,
| Herr Furth aud Won Schellendorf and Ad-
miral Won Monte, will accompany him.
| Gen. Won Moltke, who celebrated his 8Sth
! birthday yesterday, is also expected to
make one of the party.
THE CORONATION.
| The report finds credence that the en-
| peror will confer with Prince Bismarck over
| the project for his majesty's coronation on
| Jan. IS, the anniversary of the date upon
| which King William was created emperor
| at Versailles. Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria and King Humbert ana all the
| chiefs of the German states, it is said, will
| be present at the ceremony, which will be
made a great function IN confirming the
triple alliance and glorifying German unity.
! EMPRESS FREDERICK GOING TO ENGLAND,
Empress Frederick hasdetinitely arranged
| to go to Windsor on Nov. II, and thence
| direct to Italy, returning TO Germany
! in MAY, when Villa ReiS her new summer
residence on the Taunus mountains will be
ready for occupancy. The princess will nc
company the empress to England, family
differences having been finally arranged
under the management Of Queen Victoria.
| who has been in direct communication with
| Emperor William, and has used her infiu-
ence to effect concilation all around.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
The progress of the landtag electoral
| campaign promises still better for the
national liberals. The divergence Of the
| nationals from the conservatives is becom-
ing greater The progressists have decided
| to support the candidates OF the national
| liberals in over thirty districts. In tho first
district Of Berlin, the national liberals and
free conservatives unite to elect Count
| Douglas, who accepts the candidature with
fair chance of success
SOCIALISTS CELEBRATE.
Sunday being the tenth anniversary Of
| the reichstag's law of repression against
the socialists, the order seized the occasion
| to announce the issue of De1lkSchrtn
paper prepared by the leaders of the party
expressly to show the futility Of the gov
ernment's edicts, but the police prevented
its publication. The socialists resorted to
placards which were posted everywhere IN
| Berlin and other centers declaring that the
anniversary was not day for mourning,
but rather the celebration of the victorious
vitality OF socialism. The DenkschrtU,
however, privately circulates, despite the
efforts Of the police to suppress it.
BIsMARcK's AFRICAN POLICY.
Prince Bismarck's policy relative to East
| Africa becomes clear, his overtures TO the
English, Belgian and Italian governments
| tending to result IN comblued actlan against
the slave traders of Central Africa. A con-
ference is probable, in which France will be
invited to join, TO arrange for forc1ble
suppression Of the Arab slave trade. The
| plan involves simultaneous anti-Slavery cru
sading expeditions from the Congo state
and British and German East African ter
ritories.
THE MosLRM SLAVE TRADE.
The North Gerwdn Gazette declares that
| the Moslem slave trade is extending lts re-
sources to such a degree that no single ma
\ tion will suffice TO suppress it, apd that only
by cooperation can the civilized nations
succeed in stopping traffic which Is a dis
grace for the century. The Gdzette Is con-
ffdent that the German and English peoples
Will prove equal 10 the task imposed upon
thdm by the sacred principles Of religion
and humanity.
AUsTRIA's AFFAIRS.
The constitutional crisis in Austria has a
period of pause, but below the surface OF
the calm the agitation increases. The order
issued by tho marshal Of the imperial court
that the documents relating TO the corona
tion Of tho Kings Of Bohemia DO collated
and investigated Is considered 10 indicate
| Count Won Taafe's intention 70 advise
Emperor Francis Joseph TO accede to
the Czechs' demands. The Bohemian Ger
| man Prince of Clary and Aldringen has
been trying TO effect compromise between
the Germans and Czechs. According 70 the
proposition submitted the coronation VIII be
