Emperor williams yagaries Have Caused
Alarm Throughout His Empire.

Edmund Yates special London cable
TO the New York Tribune says: The
federal Princes of the German Empire
have no sort of belief in the brilliant
capacity of Emperor William. They
are Disguised and terrified at his recent
vagaries. The Duke OF Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha and dozen German royalties took
advantage OF his relationship to remon-
strate in strong terms with the Emperor,
and he was justified in so doing as the
trusted friend and often confidential ad-
wiser OF his majesty's father and grand
father. But his protests were of no
avail. The Duke was so indignant that
he refused to stay in Berlin for the
chapter of the Black Eagle, but went off
to Coburg in high dudgeon. The Dukes
sentiments are most fully shared by the
King OF SaXony, the Prince regent OF
Bavaria, and above all the Grand Duke
of Baden.
zone certain result Of the retirement
OF Prince Bismarck will be, hear, the
early resignation of Count Kalnoky.
1t is expected in diplomatic circles in
Vienna that he will be succeeded by
Count Won Wolkcnstein, the Austrian
ambassador to Russia, who has just
arrived in Vienna from st. Petersburg
