FOR TIE KAISER'S SAFETY.
Berlin dispatch says that three of
the leading detectives in the service of
the Prussian government here have
gone to London to keep an eve on the
eNiled anarchists and socialists in that
city during the coming visit of tho
I\alser, and to point out to the English
police any who are likely to be trouble
some. The mission of the detectives is
said to be merely precaution and that
the government has received no informa-
ton that would Justify fear of any in
tended insult or injury to the Kaiser.
Nevertheless it is known to the police
that the german colonly in London in
cludes number Of individuals who are
wholly anarchical in their tendencies
and who are believed capable of abusing
the hospitality of England to show their
hatred of existing institutions.
Tho German Anarchists arc said to
have secret club i'll East London in
which the most dangerous doctrines are
thoroughly discussed and action urged,
II not determined upon. No ovct act has,
however, yet been proved against these
people. The Russian Nihilists also
have headquarters in London where
consplracies are Matched and the means
provided TO carry them out.
There is strong undcrcurrent of
sympathy with tho nihilists which does
not exist for the German anarc hists,
and the latter would do well if they
value their ease not to provoke public
attention during the imperial visit.
The kaiser will leave Prince Henry in
charge of the empire during his alb
sence. Prince Henry has been well
trained to occupy the post of regent
either in war or peace. He is credited
with having ali the kaiser's energy
without his cccentricity.
