BERLIN, August t22-Compared with the
visit of the late Emperor William to
Alsaee-Lorraine in 1877, the present EN-
peror's visit was a phenomenal success.
After making every allowance for official
zeal in stirring the Provinces to enthusi-
asm, the Emperor's reception indicates the
remarkable progress made in Germanizing
the Provinces during the past decade.
The journey from Strasburg to Metz was
triumphal progress. All the intermediate
with people, who cheered the Emperor,
whose tact in the difficult and tempting cir
cumstances was remarkable. He made brief
replies to the various toasts. etc., but said
not a word at which the French could be
offended. The only incident that possibly
can cause anxiety arose from the passport
question.
NOT TO BE MOVED.
The President of the Strasburg Chamber
of Commerce, on being presented 10 the
Emperor, petitioned him to abolish the
present rigorous regulations. The Emperor

do anything in this direction.
By order of Prince Won Hohen1ehe. an
imperial decree was published in Strasburg
tonight expressing the thanks of their Ma
jesties for the brilliant receptions accorded
them, which, the decree says, strengthen
the conviction that these originally Ger
man territories, inhabited as they are by an
honest, intelligent population. will become
still more closely attached to the Father
land.
At gala dinner in Muenster Castle to-
night the Emperor, replying to q toast to
his health, dwelt upon the energy and en-
durance of the Westphalians, whose prin-
ciples, he said, he imbibed in his youth. his
tutor having been Westphalian. West
phalia has always shown itself loyal to the
Prussian house.
A MILITARY SPIRIT.
which had always kept its edge, would in
the future, as in the past, give evidence of
its keenness if it should again be necessary
to unsheath it in defense of the United
Fatherland. He drank Prosperity to
Westphalia."
Copenhagen kilograms announce that the
Gar and Czarina boarded the Imperial
yacht at Peterhof yesterday and were ex-
pected in Copenhagen on Tuesday, but at
the last moment the sailing was postponed.
General Schuveloff, the Russian Minister
returned here Wednesday. Count Nessel-
rode, the Cars master of ceremonies, has
also arrived. The Russian Embassy is evil
IDENTIFY expecting visit from the Gar
Count Herbert Bismarck, interrupting
his holiday, LETT Hamburg to-day for Muen-
ster, presumably to consult with the Em-
peror regarding the Cars visit. The be-
lief now is that the Gar will disembark at
Stettin en- route to Copenhagen and have a
brief, quiet meeting with the Emperor at
Potsdam.
ENGLAND AND GERMANY,
An inspired article in the Cologne Gazette |
on the results of the Emperor's visit to Os- |
borne, says the relations between England |
and Germany, out of which much matter |
for superfuous disharmony was eliminated, |
are beginning to be much more friendly. |
Owing, however, to the opposition of the |
Radicals in Parliament, the English Gov |
ernment is compelled to proceed cautiously |
toward an alliance with Germany. The |
Cologne Gazette adds: 'tWhether the Gar |
comes or not there is small hope that the re- |
lations between Russia and Germany will |
improve"
The North German Gazette reproduces an
official article of the Hamburg Correspon-
dent to the effect that the Cars visit cannot
lnuueuce tne question Ol peace or war. Inc
Noroe Vremyd and other leading Russian
papers are making open bids for Turkish
support as counterbalance to the powerful
combination of the Central European
powers.
The Ministeria; Council has decided to re-
assemble the Reichstag in the middle of Oc-
tober for the purpose of submitting to it sew
eral important measures. Prince Bismarck
and Herr Oelschlaeger had long confer
ence to-day on the subject of negotiations
between the various German governments
new repressive Socialist laws
The police have prohibited the circulation
of a pamphlet which the Socialists have
just published, with view to enlisting
public sympathy. The Silesidn Gazette
publishes statistics showing an uninter-
rupted growth of Socialism. The city of
Berlin, in 1882, contained "a Socialist So
cieties now it contains over 100. Bavaria,
in 1886, had 1,021 societies, with $4,000
members. She now has z, 200 societies, with
l22, 900 members.
Referring to the report that deputation
Of Cretans were going to solicit Emperor
Williams protection, the Post says that
such step will be in vain, as the Emperor
has entered into no obligations for the pro-
lection of subjects under Turkish rule.
