William to-day was able for the first time
since last Sundays accident to hobble
about his room on crutches. Several of
the smaller bones of the ankle were
broken and the whole leg is confused The
doctors insist on his taken longer rest.
During the week the Emperor has kept his
secretaries and ministers actively at work
He was displeased at the delay in the nego-
tiations with England regarding Africa,
and took entire control of the matter.
After several conferences with the British
ambassadors and the heads of the
colonial department, proposals were fixed
which, it is thought, will be acceptable
to Lord Salisbury. Briefly, they are that
the German shore shall extend to the limits
of the Congo state from the northern ex-
tremity of Tanganyika to Albert nyanza;
| that Uganda and British Unyoro shall be
neutral ground, and that navigation Of the
lakes shall be free. The British ambassa-
dor evidently thought these good enough to
justify resumption of the discussions, as he
las recalled SaliSbury's envoy, and the
matter will be re-opened. A long struggle

mann comes about June % and DIR. Peters
early in July, each loaded with facts and
reasons in support of the German claim.
The minor state of siege ends in Leipsic
on June Is, and if the government does not
renew it, the fact will signalize the deter
mination of the authorities TO cease special
enactments throughout Germany. Accord
ing TO the Socialist VoIts Bldtt, the Saxon
governments has asked the bundesrath to
prolong the law. This demand has aroused
the Emperor, who desires the bundesrath
TO support the non-fenewal of the measure.
The official tendency here now is n accord
ance with the Emperor's desire to give the
Socialists "freer BREATH The bundles
rath' assent to permit the Socialist law to
expire is doubtful. The Hamburger Mach
ricIIt1n predicts an inevitable insurrectiOn
when the restraints on the proletariat are
removed. 1t adds: ''When the guns have
spoken, God knows what will happen, per-
chance bloodshed. The revolt will have
salutary influence upon the social orga-
nisn, but it is certain that a renewal OF
repressive measures will be pitiless. Other
war troubles will again rise and the gan
creme of socialism may effect even the
army.
The Ndchriehten doubtless reflects Bis
marck's opinion which continues to infiu-
ence members of the bundesrath. Bis
marck in a speech to the delegates to the
politechnic academies, who presented
him with an address, reminded them of the
value of the idea of unity permeating
Germany. The people who ascribed to
him the phrase that unity could only be
established by blood and iron. misunder-
stood his saying. What he meant was tnat
the King at that time ought to have as
much power as possible in order shat in
case of need he might throw all
blood and iron into the scale. For
tunately the government had got past
that now and the greatest fortune for the
country was peace. He did not believe a
German Emperor would ever look upon a
map with the Napoleonic lust of conquest
in his heart.
The ceremony of placing the1ast stone of
the spire of Ulm cathedral took place to-
day amid the ringing of bells and general
rejoicing. 1t is $50 feet high-the highest
in the world
