The note persists that the arrest and eX-
| pulsion of Wohlgemuth were fully justi-
fed, and says:
The bundesrath must further adhere to its
| Interpretation OF article second of the settle
ment treaty of 1875, which in no wise re-
| Stricts the rights of the two governments TO
| receive in their respective territories any one
| they deem fit. The bundesrath must insist
all the more upon its rights being respected,
asst is firmly determined to fulfil Its lnterna-
| tional obligations.
The tenor of the reply was communi-
| Gated to the German minister at Berne
early in the week. The communication
was the signal for the adoption of Strin-
| gent measures for the scrutiny OF travel
erS crossing the Swiss frontier, baggage
| being mercileSSly overhauled and goods
wantonly searched and delayed. To-
| days National Zeitung denies that these
| regulations are reprisalS, and declares
| they are due to directions from the i'm
| perial customs officials, uninf1uenced by
| the government The Swiss cantOnal
| authorities, believing otherwise, direct
travellers to proceed through Austrian
| territory via Bregenz. The attitude OF
the Swiss government is probably
| strengthened by the knowledge that
| Prince Bismarck's menaees to Swiss
neutrality occasion dissatisfaction. The
emperor was not consulted concerning
the dispatches. His majesty has advised
| Prince Bismarck to modify his tone and
| thus avoid aggravating the difficulty.
AS result the Semi-official papers are
moderatlng in their expressions of
| HOSTILITY TOWARDS SWITZERLAND.
The North German Gazette tonight,
commenting on the situation, contains
| no suggestion aSSaillng Swiss neutrality
nor even denunciatiOn of the ''settle
ment'' treaty. The Gazette explains
that the dispatch of June 5 was the
outcome of an understanding with Rus
STA, and proceeds to show that it's object
was, by giving it the tone and tenor OF
an identical Russian note presented at
| the same time, 70 accentuate the I'M
preston it was intended to produce.
Its purpose so far has been attained,
Sideration to the Russian representa-
tions, and it is expected that they will
ultimately recognize the German
claims, though in less friendly
and less expeditions manner. The
diplomatic action of Germany
is aimed at the social democ-
racy in Switzerland. Against Swift
Zerland itself this policy is directed
! only in so far as elements hostile to the
I German empire are protected and pro-
noted there. To combat these ele-
4 mems is the task of the imperial policy,
4 and the fight will not be abandoned
! until the task is fulfilled" This IS an
| obvious check to the Bismarekian
"bounee," over which the opposition
| Journals will rejoice. 1t rs expected
tag will begin about the middle of
| October. 1t will be the last session of
the present reichstag. The bundles
| rath will resume business at the end of
September, dealing first with the press
regulations and
| REVISING THE SOCIALIST LAW.
The Progressists intend to dilate upon
| abuses in the military administration.
| The corruption disclosed by the Hage-
| mann tri i furnished abundant material
| to show the prevalent practice among
officers of fevying to what extent they
| can upon the supplies. The emperor
will return to WilhelmShaven on the
| Goth inst. In accordance with request
OF Emperor Francis Joseph he will meet
| with the quieteSt possible reception on
his coming visit to Berlin: There will
| be no court festivities, and the city will
refrain from giving his majesty for
NAL welcome. He will pass through the
| capitol OH his way to Potsdam. The
municipal authorities will present him
| with an address at the railway station.
| There will be no fetes. The visit of
the emperor will be devoted to wit
Messing military reviews and maneuvers.
While Count Kalnoky palavers with
Prince Bismarck, official hopes that the
| car will come to Berlin have been
abandoned. Even meeting of the
sOvereigns at Kiel is doubtful. Prince
Bismarck has ceased his communica-
tionS with st. Petersburg regarding an
interview since hearing that the czar
had expressed an unwillingness to come
to Berlin so long as the government
organs assaIled Russian credit and the
war office kept massing men along the
| Russian frontier. Details of the en-
peror's life aboard the imperial yacht
Hohenzolern appear in the papers. He

German champagne and coffee. The

letters describe him as in splendid
health and spirits. After the Austrian

to Metz to lay the foundation stone of a
monument to his grandfather; thence

During the emperor's sojourn in Eu-
| gland. the empress will go to Mona to
meet the queen of Italy. Advices from
Munich announce the suicide of Lady
! Acton, the sister of the German minister
| at Washington. She was residing
with the family of Count DrecL-
sci in villa adjacent to Tegenn-
see. Yesterday she took small
| boat and went rowing out on the lake
and when she was some distance from
shore. she jumped into the water. She
had previously shown symptoms of
mental disorder. Her husband died re-
Gently. Court circles are talking about
the conversion of the Empress Augusta
Victoria to the Catholic church. She
made profession of faith before Able
| Radijewski, who is attached to the
household of Prince Radziwill. Count
| Rosselwell, the empress's grand mar
shall, himself Catholic, witnessed the
| ceremony in company with Prince Rad
twill. The emperor had previously
| been apprised of her attention. The
| Catholic electoral congress at Munich
has been postponed until Sept. Is.
