to Cause Trouble.

of all the troops stationed In the Cassel
district today, which afforded a brilliant
spectacle. The Emperor and Empress,
King of Saxony. Grand Duke of Hesse,
Grand Duke of Saxe-W eimar. Duke of Ed
inburgh. Prince and Princess Henry of
Prussia, Prince Albrecht and others of
high rank were present. Emperor Will
liam will now 20 to Eriurt. where he will
review the 4th army corps.
Some of the phrases used by his mai
esty In his speech at the banquet at Cas-
sci have added to the uneasiness which
nov prevails throughout the country. He
recalled the time when, as a staff officer,
he entered Cassel in 1871 with the victor
ious Hessian troops. He trusted. he said,
that the Hesslans, in event of foreign
struggles. would help him to fulfill his
duties. Coming so soon after the allus-
ions made at Munich to the future tri-
umphs of the Bayarian troops, his maj
esty's utterauce at Cassel Is felt to be a
yelled menace to foreign enemies and q
warning for the country to courageously
prepare for trouble. Still the conviction
remains mistaken In official circles that a
prolonged period of diplomatic intrigue
will precede the collision OF the powers.
The Chilian warship Presidente Pinto,
which has caused uneasiness to several of
the powers by her attempts to procure
arms, is lying at Hamburg with her crew
mutinous. Her commander asked the
assistance of the police to arrest three
sailors, but as the vessel belongs to a for
elgn power, the police referred the re-
quest to the senate. The men are mu-
tinous and refuse to perform their work.
The leading political development of
the week has been the practical adhesion
Of the Italian prime minister, Rudini, to
the policy of Lord Salisbury. English
premier. The sultan of Turkeys new

and probably Germany, for it is stated
that Herr Won Radowitz. German am
bassador to Porte. at an audience with
the sultan, Wednesday. urged that a
favorable hearing be given to the views
OF Great Britain, and that, through his
representations. Sir William White, Brit
ish ambassador TO Turkey, was given an
audience by the sultan Yesterday The
gravity of the situation is indicated in a
summons calling the ENJOYS of the porte
at Vienna, Berlin. st. Petersburg and
London to Constantinople. The French
ambassador. the Count of Moutebello,
who was on the eve of presenting his let.
tiers of recall to the sultan, has been in
structed by bis government to remain at
his post, in order to prevent the sultan,
under pressure of the other diplomats,
from weakening and breaking his resolu-
tons.
The latest intelligence from CONSTANT
nople indicates the continuous success of
Franco Russian diplomacy in Turkey.
The sultan has offered a place in the min
istry to Chakir Pasha, a declared parti.
san of Russian alliance and known to
be a foe of ENGLAND and the dreibund.
The foreign office here regards England's
difficulty with complacencv. Lord Sails
bury's solicitations for diplomatic aid
forces England into closer union with the
triple alliance, and thus tends in the d.
rectlon of bringing about a formal COM
pact between England aud Germany,
Austria and Italy. Hitherto Lord Sails
bury has rejected all overtures looking to
England's becoming a party to dreibund
compact.
A Hamburg correspondent publishes an
article on the Dardenelles incident, and
pairing a coup by which she will seize the
Bosphorus. A report which is circulated
IN diplomatic circles credits England With
the intention to seize and fortify Tenedos
and other islands at the mouth of the
Dardanelles In the event of failure to es-
tablish a renewed entente with the porte.
The Iost points out how the triple al
lance may be drawn into intervening
against Rudini committing Italy to active
and armed support of England.
The Munich TdgebIdt denies the Off
cial statement that Emperor William was
accorded an enthusiastic reception on the
occasion OF his late visit to the Bavarian
capital. ION the contrary. lit says. 'he
was received with chilly indifference by
the people" 1t attributes this TO the
fact that the people of Bavaria see in the
emperor an emblem of DEAFNESS Of living
and the source of approaching war,
threatening the ruin of the country. IF
the imperial government the Tdgebldtt
says, desires to be loved instead of de-
tested, it must cheaper food and abide by
a policy of peace"
An u~nsavory story is afloat concerning
DR.. Aveling, who is charged with con-
tracing a love union with Eleanor Marx,
leaving his legal wife destitute. DR.. Ave
ling has written a letter to the socialist
paper, KOrtodrts, in which he says it is
true that be has dissolved his bourgeois
marriage and entered upon a love union
with Fraulein Marx, but he declared that
he left his legal wife well provided for.
Aveling promised to punish the author Of
the report that his wife is in a destitute
condition.
The Nortoarts says Aveling's wife, who
is in London, announces that she will
trace the detractor and give him a cow

Herr Rock, who fled for America after
embezzling $4,000 from the Prussian
Mortgage bank, has been traced to the
steamer which left Hamburg last Satur-
day. He will doubtless be taken into
custody upon the arrival of the steamer
