Associated Press Dispatches.
BERLIN, August S.-[Copyrighted by
the New York Associated Press. For
the first time since the French press
began transcending its previous record
of scandalous mendacities about EN-
peror William, the government has
deemed it necessary to issue semi
official notice regarding the alarming
reports about the emperor's health. No
German newspaper had gone beyond
alluding TO the ridiculous stories Of the
emperor's epileptic fits, brain disor-
ders and host of other maladies
ascribed to him, until the Cologne Ga
zette stated that the annual review of
the Gardes du Corps would not take place
until the emperor had rested for fort
night after his arrival at Kiel. Some
minor organs thereupon announced that
the grand cavalry ma aneuvers at Brom-
berg, in which the emperor is especially
interested, would not be graced by his
presence.
THE KAIsER's GAME LEG.
The emperor arrived at Kiel at 80
O'Clock this evening. He remains on
board his vessel. The report of DR..
Leuthold, who has been attending the
emperor, is that the injury to his limb
Is SO rapidly progressing to cure that
he will probably be able to resume the
use Of his leg within week.
Official telegraphic dispatches received
here during the course of the evening
indicate that it is the intention of En-
peror William to carry out the pro-
gramme which he had planned before
the accident occurred, with the excep-
ton of witnessing the Templehof review
on the 22d. Later he will go to Schwarz
enau to meet Emperor Francis Joseph
and witness the Austrian maneuvers.
CARPING AT THE CHICAGO FAIR.
The Borsen Courier follows the
Vossische Zeitung and Tageblatt in
carping at the Chicago worlds fair pro-
ject, on the ground of the growth of
American hostility to everybody and
everything outside OF the United States.
The Courier, dwelling on the United
States laws against pauper emigrants,
uses the amazing argument that
''pauper emigrants laid the foundation
OF the grandeur of the republic" De-
spite these occasional yelpings. the pop
ularity OF the fair seems certain. I'M
perial and official circles have taken the
enterprise into favor, and the whole of
industrial Germany will follow.
The American worlds fair commits
sioners concurredin praising the warmth
of the official greetings extended to
them. This pleasant state of affairs,
they declared, was largely due to the
energetic efforts of William Walter
Phelps, United States minister to Ger
many. Moses p. Handy, one Of the
members of the commission, referring
to the attacks made by the Vossische
Zeitung, said they had been inspired by
some middlemen in New York, whose
interest is to keep the American buyer
from direct intercourse with the foreign
manufacturer. eff these meet through
the fair" he said, "the business of the
middlemen will suffer-"
WILLIAM WILL GRACE THE FAIR.
The imperial commissioner, Herr
Wormuth, says Emperor William shows
such interest in inquiring into the ar
rangements for German representation
at the fair as suggests that it is his in
tention personally to grace the fair with
his presence.
Among the German newspapers ad-
vocating the largest possible display of
German products in Chicago. the popu-
lar Kleine Journal is prominent. The
Journal contends that Germany would
be powerless in q war of commerce re-
prisals against America; reminds the
people OF the strength of the German
element in the United States, and says
the Germans ought not to renounce the
foremost place at the fair which their
numerical superiority should assure
them.
