BERLIN, July 19.-Emperor William
has announced that he will return TO
WiIhelmshaven from his trip in Nor
wegian waters on July 26. Ministers
Du Vernois and Miguel will meet him
there. The Reichsanzeiger last night
declared that the emperor's plans Tor
his trip had not been altered owing to
the political situation. but the facts
contradict the official statement. Ar
rangements we're made for his voyage
to extend week longer. Affairs in the
East are Fastening to a crisis, and this
caused Emperor William to advance the
date of his conference with the car.
Count Won Schouvaloff, the Rus
sian ambassador to Berlin, who Is
now in St. Petersburg, has sent Chan
ccllor Won Caprivi formal intimation
that the ear will receive Emperor
William on Aug 10. The great maneu-
vers, to which Emperor William has
been invited, begin on Aug. Z, ana last
for two weeks. The Novoe Vremya
says that the position in Armenia and
Bulgaria will remain in statu quo, as
far as Russian action is concerned,
until the imperial interviews are over.
Emperor William will probably make
brief visit to England before starting
from Kiel for CronStadt. The original
programme of reception in ST. Peters
burg was prepared with view to the
empress presence. The character OF
the conference, involving a chance OF
the emperors'
Parting on Hostile Terms,
caused change, and the German en-
press, although eager to accompany her
husband. will remain at home. The
opposition of France to the English
agreements abated under the prospect
i've arrangements, in which the foreign
Office here acquiesces. The French
claims to sphere of influence from
Senegal to Lake Tchad will be submit
ted to commission on dellmtatlon,
composed of German, English and
French officials. NJ. Ribot, the French
minister of foreign affairs, objected to
German representation on the commas
sion, on the ground that the disputed
territories from the Niger to Lake Ichad
did not touch German interests. Cham
cellor Won Caprivi and Lord Salisbury
declining thus to admit to be nu'
gatory an article of the agree
ment dealing with the Anglo-Ger
man trade in The countries drained by
the Niger NJ. Ribot was constrained to
assent. The German chancellor'S Off
cial memorandum on the agreement Is
ready for issue as soon as the English
parliament ratifieS the ceSSion of He'll
goland. 1t declares that the govern
ment SympathiZes with the German re-
grets over the apparent extension OF
English influence in East Africa. AT
the same time it maintains that the i'm
portance of Zanzibar is exaggerated,
and cannot compare with HeligOland'S
value. Germany has long coveted the
island, and there have been ceaselesS
appeals made to the government to ac-
Quire it, as the archives of the chancel-
lerie show. 1t concludes with the state
merit that the convention is based on
just regard of the
Professions and Aspirations
of both countries, The question of
Prince BiSmarck'S right to divulge di-
reetly or suggestively through inter-
views his knowledge of state affairs
acquired while he was minister, will
be decided Immediately upon the em-
peror's return. AlluSionS appearing in
the Hamburger Nachrichten to Sir r.
Morier as again acting for a higher
parsonage in supplying the press with
elements to attack Prince Bismarck,
disclose desire of the prince to pub
llcly implicate Empress Frederick in
plotting against him. The eX-empreSS
has Just intensified his anger by warn
ming him that if the report is true that
ne is preparing his memoirs, he must
publish none of her letters or her
husbands without her consent, and in
timating indirectly that he would be
prosecuted if he failed to comply.
Forthwith the prince selected from the
list of applicants for an interview with
him the correspondent of DreSdener
Nachrichten. a paper notorious for its
hostility to Empress Frederick, and ac-
corded him an interview which lasted
several hours. The official expectation
is that the emperor will direct the ap-
plication to Prince Bismarck of the re-
script which the prince prepared after
the Won Arnim trial ordering the minis
tiers Of state to take an oath not to pub
lish anything relating TO state business
without permission from the sovereign.
Other provisions of the rescript give va
lidity to the actions of Empress Freder-
lex. At short meeting of Prince AL
eXander of Battemburg and Prince
Ferdinand Of Bulgaria, at Eyer, in Be-
hemia. Prince Ferdinand asked for an
explicit assurance that Prince AleXan-
der would not return to Bulgaria. He
also asked what meaning was to be at
tached to his adoption of
Maj. Panitza's Child.
He said he felt it to be useless to con-
tinue the struggle to maintain himself
as ruler at Sofia if Prince Alexander
were to be his rival. Prince Alexander
protested that he had no ambition to
return to Bulgaria. Panitza's boy, he
explained, was his godson, and the
adoption of the boy had nothing to do
with politics. He advised Prince Fer
dinand to return to his post and govern
constitutionally and he promised that
is war should break out he would serve
in the Bulgarian army in any capacity.
The report first published by the Ham
burg Correspondent to the effect that
Minister Lucus. in receiving deputa-
ton on the traffic in American pork
through Holland, expressed an inten-
tion to rescind the prohibition in OctO-
Der appears in all the papers. Mr..
Phelps, the United States minister, has
seen Herr Lucius, who states that the
government is still unwilling to take
such a step. Prof. Virchow, replying
to the protest of French physician
against Frenchmen taking part in the
Berlin medical congress, criticiseS such
ChauyiniSm as morbid condition, of
which cruel experience appears not to
have cured France. Medical men, he
says. ought to be animated by senti-
ments of mutual esteem. A bill which
is being prepared for the landtag fixes
the maximum working day in mines and
provides for the appointment of in
spectors with the same powers as are
held by factory inspectors. The dis
tinguished composer and pianist, Herr
Xavier Scharwenka. sailed to-day Oh the
new steamship Kaiser Wilhelm, for
New York. Herr Scharwenka is the
director of the Berlin conservatory of
music, and as composer is we'll and
favorably known throughout the United
States. He goes to America Oh pleas
ure tour.
