EXAMINATION.

BERLIN, Aug. S.-For the first time since
the French press began transcending its
previous record of scandalous mendacities
about Emperor William, the government
has deemed it necessary to issue semi
official notice regarding the alarmist reports
about the emperor's health.
THE DELAYED DENIAL
No German newspaper had gone beyond
alluding to the ridiculous stories Of the
emperors epipleotic fits, brain disorders.
purulent Inflammation of the cars, carries of
the cranial bones, and q host of other mala-
dies ascribed to the most active working
chief OF government in the world,
until the Cologne Gdzette stated
Gardes du Corps would not take
place until the emperor had rested for a
fortnight after his arrival at Kiel. Some
minor organs thereupon announced that the
grand cavalry maneuvers at Bromberg in
which the emperor is especially interested,
would not be graced by his presence.
SURGICAL EXAMINATION.
Two surgeons, who are noted specialists in
their profession, have been sent to Kiel to
| await the arrival of the emperor at that
place, and to make an examination of his
foot, which he injured recently by falling
on the slippery deck Of the yacht. Special
precautions were taken TO guard against
| any tampering with the cipher dispatches
| which passed between the emperor and
empress, on one side, during their visit to
| England, and the ministers hero
| on the other side. A semi Off
cial communication made public to-
night, curtly denies, as without
foundation. the reports alleging that the
| emperor was in i'll health. The oommunica-
ton specially declares false the report that a
German telegraph official was sent to con-
duct the exchange Of cipher kilograms
THE ARRIVAL AT KIEL.
The yacht Hehenzollern, bearing EN-
| peror William, arrived at Kiel at $50
| o'clock this evening The emperor remained
on board the vessel. which he viii make his
| headquarters for the present. The report
| Of DR.. Leuthold, who has been attending
the emperor, is that his majesty will proba-
| bly, be able to resume the partial use of his
leg and foot within week.
Official telegraph dispatches received here
| during the course of the evening indicate
| that it is the intention of Emperor William
TO carry out the programme which he had
| planned before the accident occurred, with
| the exception Of witnessing the Templehoi
review on Aug. %.
| THE EMrERoR's~FUFVRE MOVEMENTS.
/ He will, however, take command of the
| East Prussian military maneuYers. He will
also take part in the Bavarian evolutions
becoming the guest of the regent at Munich,
at which place preparations are being made
for grand reception to be given in honor
of the visit of the emperor. Thence his
| majesty will go to Schwarezinau to meet
Emperor Francis Joseph and witness the
Austrian maneuvers.
THE GERMAN PRESS AND THE FAIR.
The Borsen Courier follows the Vossische
Zeitung and the TngebLatt in carping at the
| Chicago worlds fair on the ground of the
| growth of American hostility to everybody
| and everything outside OF the United States
| The Courier, in dwelling upon United
States laws against pauper emigrants, uses
the amazing argument that pauper "emiS
| grants laid the foundation Of the grandeur
of the republic"
Despite these occasional yelpings the
| popularity of the fair appsars certain to
boom" Imperial and official circles have
taken the enterprise into favor, aud the
whole Of industrial Germany will follow. II
THE FAIR COMMISSION IN BERLIN.
The American worlds fair commits
sioners, being interviewed just pre-
city city for Frankfort concurrod in
praising the warmth OF the official greet
| ings which had been extended to
them. This pleasant state OF affairs,
they declared, was largely due to the ener-
| getic efforts Of United States Minister
! Phelps, who, in spite Of his recent illness,
was vigorously preparing the way for a
proper recognition Of the American COM
mission.
| BUTTERWORTH INTERVIEWED.
| EK-Congressman Butter worth Of Ohio
| one OF the fair commissioners, said that the
reception which he and his colleagues had
been given during their visit to the city
| equaled, in the frisndliness and
heartiuess shown by all with whom they
had come in contact, their experiences in
| London and Paris. in no American
city," continued Mr.. Butterworth, could
| a more spontaneous or a more friendly
greeting be extended by the people. The
highest officials of the government warmly
assured US Of their hearty cooperation in
the endeavors being made TO have
Germany fully represented at our
great exhibition. Some slight oppo-
sition which has arisen in this
country on account Of the new American
tariff law. will be entirely removed as the
objects for which the fair is to be held be-
come better known to the people,
HANDY GIVES REASON.
Moses 2. Handy, another member of the
| commission, in referring to the attacks
made on the com nissioners by the VOssis-
| che Zeitung, said that when he read the
articles in question he saw that they had
been inspired by some middleman here or
| in New York, whose interest 1t is to keep
the American buyer from direct intercourse
with the foreign manufacturer. "If these
| meet through the fair" he said, "the busi-
| ness of the middlemen will suffer"
Judge Lindsay holds that if the enthus-
iasm with which the commission has been
received in Berlin lasts, Germany will stand
| at the head of the foreign nations sending
exhibits to the fair.
Herr Wermuth, the German commits
sioner for the fair. and Secretary Coleman
| of the American legation, accompanied the
| commissioners to the railway station, where
the imperial waiting room was placed
| at their disposal, TO bid them farewell. The
| railway officials were essiduous in their eff
| forts TO make the commissioners trip a
| pleasant one.
THE EMPEROR MAY GRACE THE FAIR.
Herr Wermuth says Emperor William
| shows such an interest, inquirlng into the
arrangements for the German representar
tion at the fair, as suggests that it is his iu-
tention personally toigrace the fair with his
presence. II is more likely that the en-
| peror will go TO Chicago than Chancellor
Won Caprivi.
Among the German newspapers advo-
eating the largest possible display of Ger
man products in Chicago. the popular

be powerless in a war of commercial re-
