The Explorers and the Emperor.

BERLIN, Dec. T. Copyright 1889 by the
New York Associated Press. THE latest
news from Emin Pasha is that there are
strong hopes of his recovery. The brain is
now known to be uniniured and the fever
is reducing. In response to an inquiry
from the Emperor Major Wissmann yester-
day cabled: "Emin Pasha is much better,
but he will for the present remain at Baga-
moyo. He charges me to tell your majesty
that the Emperors congratulations are the
| best reward for all his works and he begs
me to express his humble thanks for him.
| The Emperor cabled to Emin: "Now
that you have at last returned from your
| post where you have remained over eleven
| years with truly German loyalty and devo-
| ton to duty, L am glad to greet you. have
felt special satisfaction from the fact that
| it was through the territory under our
protection that the German forces were
able to smooth the way to the coast for
your return" At the same time the En-
peror cabled to Stanley as follows: Thanks
for your perseverance and inf1exible
courage. You have now, after repeatedly
crossing the Dark Continent, overcome
new and long succession of perils and al
most uncomfortable hardship, and that after
surmounting those your return journey
should lead you through lands covered by
udB3 dllOIuo niO SlCaV oduloldSuiOA anu
l welcome you heartily to civilization and
security.p
Stanley wires an answer, in which he
speaks of his hopistable entertainment
by Wissmann and others and the honors
extended by the German officers and closes
as follows; II am profoundly impressed
with your maiesty's condescension, kind
ness and gracious welcome and with full
and sincere hearty, exclaim, Long live the
noble Emperor William"
The E mperor was immensely pleased
with SANKEY'S reply, which shows that
the explorer has caught the ringing style
agreeable to the imperial ears.
The miners strik, involving as it does,
now the whole field of mining operation in
Westphalia coupled with the atti-
tude of the reichstag toward the Socialist
bill, threatens to embarrass the govern
meme very seriously. The motion to re-
peal the law exacting from workingmen
certificates from their last employers pro-
voked in the house significant debate
Dr. Windthorst warned the ministers that
the feeling of the country was with the
miners and if the law did not interfere to
protect them from any of companies the
men would certainly be driven to the last
extremity of starvation and despair.
Deputy Hummacher, National Liberal,
defended the employers. The employers
now refuse even to negotiate with the dele
gates sent o them on behalf of the men.
Herr Boetticher, minister for the,interior,
has sent dispatches to the Emperor and
Bismarck recommending that an imperial
commission to arbitrate the differences be
Immediately created. Troops are held in
readiness to guard against and suppress
any resort to violence The men in the
Treasury coal mines, in Soar district, have
forwarded pc tition to the Emperor, APP
pealing for help. They say that even IN
married men cannot live on the present
wages.
The relations between the foreign office
here and in Vienna are more in the direc-
ton of an aggravation of all the bad fea-
lures. Count Kalnoky, according to Off
cial advices, finds his colleagues reluctant
to follow Bismarck's line of Cancellation
with Russia, and therefore desires to re-
sign, leaving Baron Kallay in Office as his
successor. Count Kalnoky Is reported to
have said that Austria has postponed her
recognition of Prince Ferdinand out of
respect for the wishes OF Bismarck, but
the ultimate recognition of Ferdinand was
well settled point in her policy. 1t is
plain that Bismarck's function as peace
maker is becoming point of great friction
between the ministers.
