Belief That the Emperor Will
Announce the nature OF the New
Treaty Cont nuing tho Dreibund.
Copyright, 1891, by the ~ T. associated Press
BERLIN, July 4-The foreign Office is re-
ceiving through Baron Won Bieberstein,
secretary of state for foreign affairs, series
of kilograms indicating the character Of
Emperor Williams reception in England
The spectacle in the Nord and at Windsor
castle appears to have been contrary
TO the expectations of officials and
the general public. The kilograms
received up to a late hoIr, though meager,
confirm the hope that the emperor's stay in
England will be one continuous ovation. the
warm official greetings finding countenance
in the popular enthusiasm. Both public
and official interest will culminate in the
reception at the Guild hall on Friday next
THE DREIBUND.
Diplomatic circles here, and probably
every government In Europe, have reason
10 expect that the emperor will announce
the nature OF the treaty just concluded
maintaining the dreibund. According to
belief in official circles, the emperor has
discretionary power to disclose the nature OF
the treaty between Germany and Italy.
The nav drebund compact includes three
distinct agreements one between Germany
und Austria, similar TO the first defensive
treaty, which was signed in October, 1879;
ano her between Germany and Italy and
third between Austria and Italy.
THE GERMAN-ITALIAN TREATY.
The German Italian treaty will be made
public If Lord Salisbury gives his assent to
the step, while that between Austria and
Italy will remain unrevealed. The idea is
that the purely defensive character of the
Italian agreement ought TO assist in modify
ing the irritation Of Ffancs
The tone OF tho English press in seeking
10 accentuate the political importance Of
Emperor Williams visit to England is un-
derstood here, but not appreciated. The
emperor has not gone surrounded by lead
| ing political and military household off,
| cials. His visit is merely a ceremonial one,
as some English papers declare, and is de-
void of political significance.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE VISIT.
The North German Gazette to night, in
| an obviously semi-offioial communication,
asserts that there Is direct connection be-
| tween the time Of the emperor's presence in
| England and the removal of international
treaties. "The extension OF the dreibund," ;"
says the article, (which has just become
| known, will be every where regarded as the
| finest gift with which the empsror could re-
ioice the hearts Of the people OF Great
Britain. To-day, more than ever, will the
mutual tokens OF regard ex-
changed by two kindred nations
be drawn from the conviction that both
have been called to work together without
having any cause for fear that their peace
full competition will be disturbed by con-
tiicting interests
THE VISIT HAS AN OBJECT.
| The VOsSische Zeitung ridicules the
| notion that prolonged negotiations between
| Lord Salisbury, Sgnor Rudini, the Italian
premier, Sir Edward Malet, the British
ambassador to Germany, and Chancellor
Won Caprivi, followed by the ostentatious
splendor OF the reception accorded Emperor
| William, means nothing much politically.
"If," says the VoSSische Zeitung, "the
entente only includes the cooperation Of an
English squadron in protecting the Italian
coast against the French, that alone
would secure to Germany an auxiliary
army, an English feet In the North sea and
Baltic, and would leave the German army
free forlthe protection OF the French and
Russian frontiers
Thes assurances given by the London
police Of the safety Of the Emperor do not
satisfy the authorities here, and it is said
that the reports of the Berlin police agents
|
cause distrust regarding the precautions
taken by tho London authorities. A group
| OF ItfermRn artisans on Tuesday applied
directly to Count Won Hatzfeldt, the
German ambassador to England, for per>
mission to present an address to the en-
peror. The names and ad-
dresses of the petitioners. as
given at the embassy, were closely
scrutinized and it was found that most OF
the applicants were good, loyal men. Some
| of the names proved to be fictitious and
were, IL is supposed, adopted by German
anarchists. Count Won HatZfeldt would
not allow access TO the emperor to any one
who was not identified and accredited.
THE EMPEROR WILLING TO RECEIVE THEM.
The emperor was informed Of the request,
and, understanding that it was made by Ger
man workingmen desirous Of expressing to
him their gratitude for the special re-
forms which he has Instituted. wished
to receive them. 1t is understood,
however, that the German ambassador
prevailed upon his majesty not to do so by
reminding him that an attempt had been
made upon the life of his father during the
latter's sojourn in London in 1878. While
the then crown prince was receiving a dep
utation OF loyal workingmen at the German
embassy he was menaced by a number Of
| conspirators who barely failed in their
attempt to gain access to the embassy. The
Berlin authorities are urging the English
government to stretch English law against
preventive arrests, and, before the emperor
is exposed TO the view of the rnyriads crowd
| ing the streets, to make a clean haul Of all
suspected persons, of whom a list has been
furnished by the Berlin police agents in
| London.
It has been decided to open the annual
socialist congress at Erfurt Oct. 10.
