peror William will return here on
August 18th, and will command the
cavalry maneuvers to be held in the
vicinity of Beomberg. As a novelty in
military movements, he will have
masses of cavalry crossing the. Havel
river, some OF the horsemen being on
pontoons and others on RATS hastily
constructed. After the maneuvers at
Beomberg the emperor will proceed to
Mentz, and will conduct a military sur
vey OF upper Alsace; thence he will go
to Thuringea to take part in the military
maneuvers which are to be held at that
place. The emperor will not, as has
been his custom, be the guest of the
duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, who has
espoused the cause of Prince Bismarck,
and loses no chance to adversely
criticise the doings OF the en-
peror. The imperial headquarters
will be established successively at En-
furt and Mulhausen. After these man.
euvers have been finished, the emperor
will return to this city and subsequently
pay visit to Vienna, being accompanied
to the latter city by Chancellor Won
Caprivi.
The French squadron celebrations IN
Russia have been made the occasion for
some Germanaphobes belonging to the
yacht club in st. Petersburg to insult
and quarrel with the German members
because they refused to participate in
the reception to the French naval of
fcers. The Russian members OF the
club opened a subscription to cover the
expenses of the semi-public banquet to
be given in honor of the Frenchman and
the excursion to Cronstadt, and the
soiree committee having the matter in
charge insisted that every member of
the club should contribute. In conse-
quence the club quarters have been the
scene of several verbal encounters,
which probably preludes series OF duel
ing challenges. sE.se. a..
The semi-official newspapers here,
publish accounts OF the fetes with which
the Russisns have welcomed the French
men, but do not comment on them.
The press generally discusses the politi-
cal bearings of the affair without acri-
mony. The Kreuz Zeitung says: The
German navy. whose main duty is the
defense OF the coast, is relieved of great
probable cause for anxiety, and having
obtained assurance of this great strate-
gic advantage, Germany can leave the
French and Russians to gush over their
theatrical determinations. 1t is ex-
pected that the third circular issued by
Privy Councillor Wermutt of the depart
ment of the interior lately: lately ap-
pointed imperial German commissioner
to the Chicago fair, will be spread broad
cast among the various manufacturers
of Germany.
A leading German paper holds that
the Importance Of the reception to the
French fleet by the Russian government
has been exaggerated. The paper fur
ther says that, although the matter will
exercise tangible influence on the rela-
tions existing between France and Rus
sia, the permanent friendship of the
Latin and Slavonic races is impossible.
The National Zeitung also urges that
genuine brotherhood of Frenchmen and
Russians is unattainable, holding that
Russia is uncivilized and that France
has "few points Of sympathy with bar
baric Russia"
The Vossiche Zeitung comments on
the incidents attending the voyage of
the French feet as affording valuable
strategic points for a future war. 1t
notes that the French ironclads are of
deep draught and could not pass
through the sound to the Baltic, but
had to proceed to deeper channels more
open to attack from Kiel. The Vossis-
che calculates that the French strate-
glsts are reckoning on the aid of Dem
mark in the next war, but holds that
the support Of the Copenhagen forts
would be rendered futile.
Emperor Williams criticisms OF the
standard of qualification obtainable in
the higher schools has led to prolonged
ministerial consideration of the subject,
resulting in the official announcement
today of new arrangements. Students
who have been through the requisite
course in the higher real schools, where
the languages, arts and sciences are
taught, are placed on a practical equal.

with the subsequent right to state ap-
pointments including appointments in

much comment when they become gen.
orally known.
The reports that the Hamburg Ameri-
can Packet company are taking the ex-
cited Russian jews as passengers at re.
duced rates met with indignant denials
from the company's officials. They say
that the exiles committee pay full price
for each passenger, but are allowed the
privilege of deducting the commission
on the inland bookings which is ordi
narily made to general agents.
