BERLIN, July 19-Emperor William has
announced that he will return to Wilhelms-
haven from his trip in Norwegian waters
July %. Ministers duVerney and MIGUEL
will meet him there. The Reichsdnzeigcr
last night declared that the emperor's plans
for his trip had not been altered. owing to
the political situation, but facts contradict
the official statement Arrangements were
made for his voyage to extend a 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 czar. Count Schouvaloff, the Russian
ambassador to Berlin, who is now in ST.
Petersburg, has sent Chancellor Won
| Caprivi formal intinlation that the czar
will receive Emperor William on Aug. 10.
RUssIA's BIG MILITARY REVIEW.
The great maneuvers, to which Emperor
| William has been invited, will begin
| Aug and last for two weeks.
The NoUo VreDlyG says tnat the position
| in Armenia and Bulgaria will remain in
statu quo as far as Russian action is con
cerned until the imperial interviews are
| over
Emperor William will probably make a
| brief visit to England before starting for
Cronstadt. The original programme Of the
review in st. Petersburg was prepared with
| view to the emperOr's presence. The
| character of the conference involving a
chance of the emperor's parting on hostile
terms caused a change, and the Gernan
[ Empress, although eager to accompany her
husband, will remain at home.
| THE AFRICAN MIDDLE.
The opposition of France to the English
| agreement abolish the prospective arrange
ment in which, the foreign Office here ac-
| quiesces. The French claims, to a sphere of
influence from Senegal TO Lake Tchad will
be submitted to the commission on delimita-
| ton, composed Of German, English and
French officials. NJ. Ribtt, the French
minister of foreign affairs, objected to Ger
man representation on the commission on
the ground that the disputed territory from
the Niger TO the lakes did
not touch Germauys interest Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and Lord Sails
bury declined thus to admit to be nu-
gatorY an article Of the agreement deal
ing with the Auglo-German trade In the
countries drained by the Niger
M. Ribot was constrained to assent to the
German chancellors official memorandum.
An agreement is ready for issue as soon as
the English parliament ratifes the cessa-
tion.
HELIGoLAND LONG COVETED.
1t declares that the government sympa-
thizes with German regrets over the APP
| parent extension of English influence. At
the same time it maintains that the i'm
portance of Zanzibar is exaggerated
and cannot compare with the value
Of Heligoland. Germany has long
coveted the island, and there
| have been ceaseless appeals made to the
government to acquire it, as the archives of
the chancellorie show. 1t concludes with a
statement that the convention is based on
the just pretensions and aspirations Of both
| countries.
The question of Prince Bismarck's right
to divulge directly or suggestively through
interviews his knowledge of state affairs
while he was minister will be decided imme-
| diately ON the emperor's return.
ROW OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.
The ex-emperess has just intensified his
anger by warning him that if the report is
true that he is preparing his memoirs be
must publish none Of her letters or those of
her husband without her consent, and in
timating indirectly that he would
be prosecuted il he failed to
comply. Forthwith the prince struck
from his list denial for an
interview with the correspondent Of the
Dresdener Ndchrichten, paper notorious
for its hostility to Empress Frederick, and
accorded him an interview, which lasted
| several hours.
The expectation is that the emperor will
order the application to Prince Bismarck
of a rescript which the prince prepared
| during the Venarim trial, ordering the
| iric of cfat IN taly to
publish anything relating to state business.
Other provisions Of the rescrpt give va
idity to the actions of Empress Frederick.
ALEXANDER AND FERDINAND.
A secret meeting of Prince Alexander of
| Battenburg and Prince Ferdinand OF Bull
garia was held in Bohemia. Prince Ferdi-
| nand asked for an explicit assurance that
Prince Alexander would not return to Bull
garia. He also asked what meaning was
to be attached TO the adoption of Maj.
Panitza's child. He said he felt it to be
useless to continue his struggle to maintain
himself as ruler Of Bulgaria il Prince
| Alexander was to lie his rival,
Prince Alexander protested that he had
no ambition to return. Maj. Panitza's boy,
he explained, was his godson and the
adoption of the boy had nothing to do with
politics. He advised Prince Ferdinand to
return to his post to govern, and he prom
ised that if war should break out he would
serve in the Bulgarian army in any
capacity.
THE AMERICAN HOG.
The report first published by the Ham
burg correspondent that Minister Lucius,
in receiving a deputation on the traffic in
American pork through Holland, expressed
an intention to rescind the prohibition in
October, appears in all the papers. Mr..
Phelps, the United States minister, has
seen Herr Lucius, who saws the government
is still unwilling to take such a step.
Prof. Virchow, replying to the protest of
the French against Frenchmen taking part
in the Berlin medical congress, criticises
sucn as q morbid condition of which cruel
experience appears not to have cured the
| French Medical men, he Saws, ought TO
be animated by sentiments Of mutual
| esteem.
The bill which is being prepared for the
Landsag fixes the maximum working day
in mines and provides for the appointment
| of inspectors, with the same powers US are
held by factory inspectors.
