BERLIN, Sept. 20.-A grand parade of
troops engaged in the army maneuvers was
held this morning near Eichholz, in the
presence Of Emperors William and Francis
Joseph, the King of Saxony, Chancellor
Won Caprivi aud Count Kalnoky. At the
conclusion Of the parade Emperor William
gathered the officers in group
and addressed them, commanding
their efforts in the field. He
thanked Emperor Francis Joseph and
the king of Saxony for attending the ma
neuvers, and said he hoped what they had
seen had convinced them that the army re-
mained as efficient under his leadership as
it was under that of Emperor William, thus
furnishing a guarantee of the continued
solidity and strength of the Brotherhood of
Arms. He then called for cheers for the
Austrian Emperor, which were enthusiast
tically given by the officers.
FRANCIS JosEPH's RESPONSE.
Emperor Francis Joseph, in his response,
said he was proud OF having an ally in
command of such troops. The whole oper-
ations had given him special qualification.
On leaving thes6eld the royal party drove
to Liebnitz. The route was lined with
local associations and the populace in
festal dress. After taking luncheon
at the castle the party proceeded
to the railway station, where Emperor
William bade his guests farewell. There
was much embracing and kissing, Emperor
Francis Joseph being especially efrusive
toward Chancellor Won Caprivi, shaking
hands with him repeatedly aud waving
him good-hy. As the train departed
Emperor William led the cheering for
Emperor Francis Joseph. Chancellor Won
Caprivi on his way back to the castle
| received popular ovation.
Emperor William, accompanied by Count
Won Waldersee, went by train TO Kreisau,
TO visit Count Won Moltke, with whom they
| dined.
Won CAPRIvI AND KALNoKY.
The prolonged conferences between Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and Kalnoky, which
have been held daily, have been largely de-
voted to the discussion Of the project of the
Austrian premier for closer commercial re-
lations between Germany and Austria.
| Chancellor Won Caprivi has been in constant
communication with Herr Miguel, the
Prussian minister of finance.
EUROPE AND THE M'KINLEY BILL.
Semi-ofticial information has been OBJ
tanned to the effect that Austria has taken
the initiative in proposing concerted Euro
| peau action against the Mex nley bill. The
reports in Paris newspapers that France
had been invited to join the dreibund do
not mean political league, but
a league whose object win be to
take commercial reprisals against
| America. The reports, however, were
entirely premature. Chancellor Won Cap
rivi, evidently feeling himself incapable of
deciding the complicated questions involved
in the tariff war, declined to commit Ger
many to any action before consulting his
colleagues. 1t is probable that Count Kali
noky and NJ. Ribot, the French minister Of
foreign AFFAIRS exchanged views on the
matter. Officials of the foreign office here
deny that there has been any communica-
ton with the French government on the
subject since the overtures Of M. Ribot
| thereon were allowed to drop. Herr
Miguel is opposed to any measure tending
to Increase the cost Of necessary articles Of
food
LEVIED ON THE MONEY CLASSES.
The taxation reforms which he is prepar-
ing draw upon the resources of the moneyed
classes aud do not touch the food of ths
people. The spirit Of his policy Is in the
direction of reciprocity, not of retaliation.
II Chancellor Won Caprivi is guided by his
colleagues, Germany's lsent to join France,
Austria and Italy against America will
never be given. The Vienna press, which is
more exercised over the tariff question
than are the German papers, discuss the
advisability Of retaliating by placing a
general European ban upon American
| products, by refusing to protect American
patents and various other methods iInpos
sible for countries having important COM
mercial relations with the United States.
MEETING OF THE EMPERoRs.
Emperor Williams visit to Vienna is
now fixed for Oct |, when the conferences
between the two monarchs will be resumed.
The interviews at Rohnsback have not
resulted in an arrangement for
the meeting between the Austrian
emperor and the czar, which was
projected by Emperor William. The diplo-
matic advantage, meantime, appears to
depend upon Austria's obtaining an assur-
ance of German support in the Balkans.
Prince Bismarck, through the N0chrtchte1a,
attacks the government for its departure
from his policy. The ex-chancellor main
tains that it will be a grievous fault IL Ber-
Inns statecraft makes Austria's eastern
trouble with Russia Germany's own.
The advices from Copenhagen referring
to an early meeting of the three emperors
are discredited here. TIE latest st. Peters
burg dispatches state that the czar will not
visit Denmark until the ond Of October.
The NoUoe Vremyd says to-day that no
result of the Rahnstock interview will
divert the Russian government from the
path which it has pursued for three years.
BALTIC PROVINCE GERMANS.
The Germans who were driven to the
Baltic provinces by Russia have formed a
COMMITTEES to organize propaganda against
the Russianizing Of the provinces. The
police authorities Of st. Petersburg have
directed the attention of the Berlin police
to this committee, aud have asked that it
be suppressed on the ground that IL is COM
posed of revolutionists. The authorities at
Berlin, however, have declined to interfere
until proof Of a conspiracy against the car
shall have been furnished.
Prince Bismarck, upon being asked
| whether he was going to sojourn at Nice
the coming winter, said that he would like
TO 20, but enormous aud growing difficulties
forbid it, ''Thouga | am only an old
general on the retired list" said the prince,
II hope if peril menacess the country that
the kaiser will remember me.n
The socialists asked permission to use tho
| Berlin town hall to celebrate the return on
| Oct. of the expelled members OF their
| party, but the request was refused by the
municipal council.
