BERLIN, July 12.-Emperor William, on
arriving at Fide-on-the-Fa Faafjord, on Tues
day, sent dispatch to Chancellor Won
Caprivi announcing his intention to
shorten his voyage and return to Kiel on
July q. The gravity of the situation in
the Balkans and in the increased prospect
Of trouble with France over the English
agreement, makes necessary the en-
chancellor and Minister Miguel from
taking a holiday. Although the
prospects Of permanent peace in
Europe begin to appear doubtful, official
confidence remains strong in the continu-
ance of repOse for some time to come.
Even the probable abdication of Prince
Ferdinand with n sequent revolution in
Bulgaria will not be allowed to involve an
immediate European war. The main
talnance of peace according to the official
view is certain until after the conference
between Emperor William and the czar at
st. Petersburg, when the resources Of
diplomacy viii be exhausted in a final eff
fort to harmonize Austrian and Russian
interests in the Balkan peninsula.
The Berliner Tageblatt has a telegram
from Rome which pUrports to give infor-

In this, it is asserted that the cars ad-
visers, considering the time OppOrtune, in
sistS upon war. The chiefs of the driebund,
the telegram adds, will make united efforts
TO maintain peace. They have the graYest
and most urgent reasons for preparing for
eventualities.
Count Shouyelaoff, the Russian ambas-
Sador TO Germany, VIII leave here for St
Petersburg at the end of the
month to assist in the imperial inter

A fresh difficulty has arisen in France
over the fifth article of the convention,
a1ilrms the reciprocity regime of Germany
and England within the territory between
the Beude river and Lake Tehau. The ar
tIc!es did not appear in the first published
draft OF the convention and since the Off
cal text has been issued tbs French gov
ernment has discovered that the article isan
interference with the French clam to the

influence from the Niger to the Nile If

an amicabie settlement is improbable.
Mr. Phelps, the American minister, has
received from Hamburg "A copy of a peti-
tion which has been sent to Chancellor
Won Caprivi. and which bears the sigma
Jure of various steamship companies and
leading firms and corporations The peti-
tIoners ask for the resembling of the
prohibition against American pork. They
urge that Germany can not produce
enough pork to satisfy her own wants.
The price of pork has risen so enormously
that our people can not buy it. The whole
sale price OF German Saited bacon Is 40
marks per 100 Kilograms, while Ameri-
can bacon can pay duty and be sold at 81
marks. Pork imported from neighbOring
states, although bringing higher prices, is
not as good as the American article.
When the prohibition was enacted, there
was no official examination of pork in
America, whereas the United States gov
ernment is now ready 10 make whatever
inspection Germany may ask. When
American pork has been allowed to enter
the country, no case Of disease has ever
been traced to its use If the American
inspection should be insufficient, there
could be one made in Germany as well.
The petition concludes by asking that the
American pork be allowed, in the interests
of the working classes. of the commerce
and Of the shipping of Germany.
The official feeling against Prince Bis
marCE has been heightened since the
report of an interview with him appearing
IN the Frankfort Journal. Even his friends
admit that he has been lndiscreet in his
revelation OF knowledge obtained by him
while IN office. His statements that the
cmperors labor program aS originally
sketched was much more eXtrayagaut
than that issued and that his majesty
supposed that the program would tell at
the elections, attract wide attention and
II i considered certain that the statements
VIII lead to energetic remonStranCe on the
return of Emperor William.
