BERLIN, Jan. Count Herbert Bis
n arck last night gave diplomatic din
ner, at which Count SchouyOlOff, the
Russian ambassador; NJ. Herbelet, tie
French ambassador, and other heads of
legations were present. During the
course of the evening Count Herbert
was speaking to Count Won Hatzfeldt,
the German minister to England, and
promised under request of the emperor
to exonefate Sir Robert Morier, the
British ambassador to Russia, from any
charges connected with the BaZaine in
cident This result was communicated
to Morier, who expressed himself as
dissatisfied. He says that as Off
cial prints make the charge there
must be an official withdrawal. Lord
Salisbury in personal communication
to Prince Bismarck, asks him to order a
direct statement that the whole charge
is absurd. Emperor William and the
whole court went to-day to GruneWald
to hunt wild boars. So many BerlinerS
yesterday went to the opera house to
see dress rehearsal of play relating
to the first Hohenzollern elector of
Nuremberg, that the authorities di-
rected a change in the plot on the
ground that it reflected on the royal
family. At the last state dinner in the
schloss the band performed parade
march composed by Prince Henry.
Lieut.. Wissmann. whose regiment is the
Second foot guards, is now attached to
the foreign Office for special
SERVICE IN EAST AFRICA.
In of
the Emin relief committee has relieved
Wissmann from all connection with the
relief expedition, and has nominated
DR.. Peters chief leader, in place of
Wissmann. Wissmann's post under
the foreign Office is understood to be
that of imperial commissary of Germany
and has nothing to do with the East At
RIGA company. The Landtag is cOnvoked
for the 14th inst. A measure will be
presented increasing the kings civil list
by 5000, 900 marks, this sum being addl-
tional to-the amount requested from the
reichstag. The semi-Official papers argue
that the allowance should be more. Ac-
cording to the feeling in Berlin it ought
to be double the amount asked. The
loyalty Of the Berliners toward the en-
peror has led to a caution from the
North German Gazette against crowd
party when out driving. The Gazette
says:
The repeated ovations recently given to
their maiesties while out driving has more
than once given rise to Inconvenience.
Crowdiug too near their carriages, and es
pecially cunning before them, is enough. 10
make the horses FESTIVE; moreover, when
persons incautiousiy approach the carriages
they often run great danger. Apart from the
accidents arising from these causes, too i'm
petuous crowding upon their ma1estles is IN
compatible with that feeling of respect which
ought to be shown to them. and the absence
of which depriyes the demonstrations of the
character of a genuine ovation. With regard
to the throwing Of letters and petitions into
the emparor's carriage, 1t should be known
that it is better to deliver such documents at
the court marShaIs Office.
The Reichsanzeiger publishes a re-
script from Emperor William to Bis
marcE, dated Dec. 81. 1t reads:
Dear Prince: The year which has brought
us such heavy yisitations and such irrevoca-
BILE losses draws to an end. 1t is a joy and
solace to tbink that you still stand loyalty by
my side with fresh strength to enter upon
the New Year. From my whole heart l in
woke upon you happiness and blessings, but
above al uninterrupted good health. l trust
to God that may still be long permitted to
labor with you for the welfare and greatness
Of or fatherland. WILHELM.
Her Won Boetticher, as vice president
of the Prussian ministry, will present a
report TO the landtag On the increase in
the civil list. The king proposes to
marks, apart from the reichstag dona-
ton, which Prince Bismarck will per-
sonally announce. The papers to-day
generally comment on the Morier af-
fair. The Vosische Zeitung remarks:
The impression that perusal Of the letter
gives is painful. The accusations against
Morier rest on the controversial assertion Of
adduced in support of the charge therefore
1t cannot be regarded as convincing. If GER
tain papers which described Emperor Fred
eriok as Parisifal the simpleton, really con-
slider it their duty to asperse every man
whom that noble man honored with his con.
fdenoe, they have at any rate done no good
service to the German government or to the
emperor. According to narrative of the mill
tary events between the 18th and 18th Of
August, 1870, the Vossische Zeitung says it
is only surprising that the plain contradic
ton between Marshal Bazaine's statement to
Mai Won Deitz and the known historic facts
should not have been perceived by Maj. Won
Deitz himself, who seems willing to forge
weapon with which to strike the memory Of
Emperor Frederick.
The Freisennige ZeItung says:
The German people await what Count Her.
bert has to say officially on the matter. AS
things stand, German diplomacy has not COW
editself with glory over the question.
The National Zeitung holds that
MorieF in his appeal to Count Herbert
was over-eonfdent. The paper says:
It was q really astonishing demand to ask
the chief of the foreign office to contradict
the report OF trusted officer Of the German
government. 1t must be left to the future to
show whether Bazaine will come out Of the
affair as q slanderer or as q coward.
The comments suggest the similar
questions as to whether Prince Bismarck
and Count Herbert will come out of the
affair as slanderers, or as towards.
Morier, according to the sentiment of
the English embassy here and the gen.
eral feeling in official circles, Will COM
pei Count Herbert to apologize. In the
meantime, the semi-official press shows
no signs of abating the attacks on Mo-
rier, rather trying to support the assault.
To-night'S Berllner BOrsen Zeitung has
vaguely worded official statement de-
claring that the government has proof
as to the means by which Morier OBJ
tanned information concerning the move
ments and offensive plans of the Ger
man troops; also how he made use of
this information by sending 1t to the
London Times.
