The Situation in the Balkans and Trouble
2Wwith France Demand His Presence at
Berlin-The Peace of Europe Doubtful

BERLIN, July 12.-[Copyrighted, 1890,
by the New York Associated Press. =
Emperor William on arriving at Eide
Thursday sent dispatches to Chancellor
Caprivi announcing his intention to
shorten his voyage and return to Kiel
July 21st. The gravity of the situation
in the Balkans, and the increased pros
pect of trouble with France on account
of the English agreement, makes it
necessary for the emperor's presence,
and keeps both the chancellor and Min
lister Miguel from taking holiday.
Although the prospect of permanent
peace in Europe begins to appear doubt
full, official confidence remains strong.
Even the probable abdication of Prince
Ferdinand with the consequent revOlu-
ton in Bulgaria will not be allowed to
involve an immediate European war.
The maintenance of peace, according to
the official view, is certain until after
the conference between Emperor Will
lam and the czar. when the resources of
diplomacy will be exhausted in final
effort to harmonize the Austrian and
Russian relations in the Balkan penin-
sula.
The Berliner Tdgeblott has telegram
from Rome which purports to give in
formation drawn from Prime Minister
Crispi. In this it is asserted that the
czar's advisers, considering the time OPP
perfume, insist upon war. The chiefs of
the dreibund, the telegram says, will
make united efforts to maintain peace.
Petitions for American Pork.
Phelps, the American minister, has
received from Hamburg copy of pc
tition which has been sent to Chancellor
Won Caprivi, and which bears the sigma
ture of various steamship companies
and leading firms and corporations. The
petitioners ask for the resembling of the
prohibition against American pork.
They urge that Germany cannot produce
enough pork to satisfy her own wants.
! The price of pork has risen so enormously
that the poor people cannot buy it. The
wholesale price of German salted
bacon is 130 marks per 100 kilo-
grams, while American bacon can pay
the duty and be sold at SIS
marks. The pork imported from the
neighboring states, although bringing
high prices, is not as good as the Amer
ican article. When the prohibition was
enacted there was no official examina-
ton of pork in America, whereas the

to make whatever inspection Germany
may ask. When American pork was
allowed to enter the country, no case of
illness had ever been caused by to it's use.
If the American inspection should be-
insufficient there could be one made in
Germany.
Feeling Against Bismarck.
Official feeling against Prince Bismarck
has heightened since the report of an
interview with him appeared In the
Frankfort Journal. Even his friends
admit that he has been indiscreet in the
revelation of knowledge obtained by him
while in office. His statements that the
emperor's labor programme, as originally
sketched, was much more extravaganza
than as issued, and that his majesty
supposed his programme would tell at
the elections, have incensed Chancellor
Won Caprivi and the other ministers, and
| it is considered that these statements
will lead to an energetic remonstrance
on the return of Emperor William.
