PRESS.l
BERLIN, September 2O.-A grand parade
Of troops engaged in the army maneuvers
was held this morning near Eichholz, 10
the presence of Emperors William and
Francis Joseph, the King of Saxony, Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and Count Kalnoky.
At the conclusion Of the parade Emperor
William gathered the officers in a group
and addressed them, commencing their
efforts in the field. Els Majesty thanked
Emperor Francis Joseph and the King of
Saxony for attending the maneuvers, and
said be hoped what they had seen had con-
viuced them that the army remained as
efficient under his leadership as it was
under that of Emperor William 1, thus
furnishing a guarantee Of the continued
solidity and strength of the brotherhood of
arms. He then called for cheers Tor the
Austrian Emperor, which were enthusiast
tically given by the officers.
RESPONSE FROM JOSEPH.
Emperor Francis Joseph, in his response
to Emperor Williams speech, said be was
proud of having ally in command of such
troops. The whole operations had given
him special qualification.
On leaving the field the royal party drove
to Liegnit 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
effusive toward Chancellor Won Caprivi,
shaking hands with him repeatedly and
waving goodbg. as the train departed
Emperor William led the cheering for EN-
peror Francis Joseph. General Won CaprIvi
on his way back to the castle received a
popular ovation.
Emperor William, accompanied by Count
Won Waldersee, went by train to Kreisau to
visit Count Won AIoltke, with whom they
dined.
AGAINST THE TARIFF BILL.
The prolonged conferences between Cen
eral Won Caprivi and Count 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- |
latlonS between Germany and Austria. |
General Won Caprivi has been in constant
communication with Herr Miguel the
Prussian Minister of Finance
Semi-ofhcial information has been OBJ
tained to the effect that Austria has taken
the initiative in proposing concerted
European action against the Mckinley
tariff Jill. The reports in the Paris news
papers that France had been invited to Join
IN the Drelbund do not mean the political |
league, but league whose object will be
to take common commercill reprisals against
America. The reports, however, were en-.
tirely premature. Chancellor Won Caprivi,
evidently feeling himself incapable OF de-
Gliding the complicated questions involved
in a tariff war, declined to commit Ger many
to any action before consulting his col
leagues.
IN THE RECIPROCITY SPIRIT.
1t is probable that Count Kalnokv and
NJ. Pibot the French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, exchanged views on the matter
The officials of the foreign office here deny
that there have been any communications
with the French Government on the subject
since the overtures OF NJ. Ribot thereon were
allowed to drop.
Herr Miguel is opposed to any measure
tending to increase the cost of necessary ar
ticles o. food. The taxation reform, which
he Is preparing, draw upon the resources of
the monyed classes and do not touch the
food OF the people. The spirit of his policy
Is IN the direction of reciprocity, not of re-
taliation. Ii Chancellor Won CapriYi is
guided by his colleagues, Germany's assent
To join France, Austria and Italy in zoll-
Terein against America will never be given.
BISMARCK'S ATTACK.
Emperor Williams visit to Vienna is
now fixed for October 1. wnen the confer
ences between the monarchs will be re.
sumed. The interviews at Rohnstock have
not resulted in any arrangement for the
meeting between the Austrian Emperor and
the Czlr, which was projected by Emperor
William. The diplomatic advantage mean
time appears TO depend upon Austria's OBJ
tanning assurance OF German support in the
Balkans.
Prince Bismarck, through the Hamburger
Adchr1ctten, attacks the Government for
its department IRON that policy. The ex-
Chancellor maintains that it will be a
grevious lault if Berlin statecraft makes
Austria's Eastern trouble with Russia |
Germauy'S own.
Advices from Copenhagen referring IN
the early meeting OF the three Emperors are
discredited here. The latest ST. Petersburg
dispatch states that the Gar will not visit
Denmark until the end of October
LLG WI W FTCLtgu SAWS lO-NdN Ilat no p |
suit of the Ronnstock interview will divert
the Russian Government from the path
which it has sIeadfastly pursued for three
years.
TROUBLE WITH RUSSIA.
The Germans, who were driven to the
Baltic provinces bv Russia, have formed
committee to organize a propa-
ganda against the Russanizing of the
provinces. The police authorities of St.
Petersburg have directed the attention OF
the Berlin police to this committee, and
have asked that it be suppressed on the
ground that il is composed of revolutionists.
The authorities at Berlin, however, have ,
declined to interfere until proof of con-
spiracv against the Gar shall have been !
furnished. I
Prince Bismarck, upon being asked ,
whether he was going to soiourn at Nice {
the coming winter said he would like to 90, S
but that enormous and growing difficulties '
forbid 1t. Though 1 am only an old Gen t
eral on the retired list, SAID the Prince, 81 t
hope If peril menaces the country the
Kaiser will remember me-"
