BERLIN, Dec. THE latest news from
Emin Pasha is that there are strong hopes
OF his recovery. His brain is now known
to be uniniured and the lever is reduced.
Ia response to inquiry from the emperor
Major Wissman Yesterday cabled:
"Emin Pasha is much better, but he
will, for the present, remain at Bayam
oyo. He charges me to tell your majesty
that the emperor's 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
you have at last returned from your post
where you have remained over eleven
years with truly German loyalty and de-
%votion, to day | am glad to greet you.
| have felt a special satisfaction from the
fact that it was through territory under
our protection that the German forces
were able to smooth the way to the coast
for you- return.
At the same time the emperor cabled
to Stanley as follows: Thanks for your
perseverance and inexflexible courage.
You have now, after repeatedly crossing
the Dark Continent, overcome a long
succession of exceeding perils aud almost
uncomfortable hardships, That after sur
mounting these your return journey should
lead you through lands covered by my
flag affords me great satisfaction and |
welcome you heartily to civilization and
security.
Stanley wired an answer in which he
speaks OF the hospitable entertainment by
Wissmann and others and the honors ex-
tended by German officers, and closes
as follows: Il am profoundly impressed
with your majesty condecension, kindness
and gracious welcome. With a full and
sincere heart | exclaim long live noble
Emperor William"
The Emperor was immensely pleased
with Stanley reply which shows the OK
plorer has caught the ringing style agree
able to imperial ears.
The miners strike, involving as it does
nov the whole field of mining operations
in Westnhalia, coupled with the attitude
of the reichstag towards the socialists
bill. threatens to embarass the govern
ment very seriously. The motion to re.
peal the law exacting from workingmen a
certificate from their last employers pro-
voked in the house significant debate.
DR.. Windtborst warned the ministers that
the feeling of the country was with the
miners and if the law did not interfere to
protect them from the tyrrany OF compa-
MES the men would be certainly driven to
the last extremity of starvation and de-
spair.
Deputy Hummacher, National Liberal,
defended the employers. The employers
now refuse even to negotiate with the del
egates sent to them on behalf of the men.
Herr Boettisher, minister, sent dispatches
to the emperor and Bismarck recon-
mending that an imperial commission to
arbitrate the difference be Immediately
created. Troops are held in readiness to
guard against and suppress any resort to
violence. The men in the treasury
mine in the Saar district have forwarded
a petition to the emperor appealing for
help. They say aver unmarried men can
not 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
ft atures. Count Kalnoky, according to
official advices, finds his colleagues reluc-
tant to follow Bismarck's line of concilia-
ton with Russia, and therefore desires TO
resign, leaving Baron Killay in the Office
as his successor.
Count Kalnoky Is reported to have said
that Austria has postponed recognition OF
Prince Ferdinand out of respect for the
wishes of Bismarck, but the ultimate re
cognition Of Ferdinand was q well settled
point in her policy. 1t is plain that Bis
marks function as a p~eacemaker is be-
coming a point of great friction between
the ministers.
1t is stated hat in a recent familiar
conversation with Deputy MIGUEL, Empe-
ror William said: Political parties are
sheer irippery. L only know two-the
one that is for me and the one that is
against me-
