BERLIN, Aug. 8.--For the first time since
the French press began transcending it's
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. No German
newspaper had gone beyond alluding to tho
ridiculous stories Of tho emperor's epileptic
fits, brain disorders, and host of other
maladies ascribed to him until the Cologne
Gazette stated that the annual review of
the gardes du corps would not take place
until the emperor thad rested for fort
night after his arrival at Kiel. Some
minor organs thereupon announced
that the grand cavalry maneuvres Mt
Bromberg, in which the emperor is
especially Interested would not be
Rraced by his presence. Tho emperor ar
rived at Kiel at $50 O'Clock this evening.
He remains on board his vessel. The report
of DR.. Luthold. who has been attending the
emperor, is that the injury to his limb is
rapidly progressing to cure, that he will
probably be able to resume the partial use
of his leg and foot within a week. Official
telegraphic dispatches received here during
the course of the evening indicate that it is
the intention of Emperor William to carry
out tho programme which he had planned
before tho accident occurred with the ex-
ception of witnessing the Tempelhof review
on the 22d. Later he will 20 to Sohwan
zenau to meet Emperor Francis Joseph and
witness the Austrian maneuvres.
The Borsen Courier follows the Vossische
Zeitung and Tageblat in carplnR ct the
Chicago Worlds fair projsct, on the ground
of the growth OF American hostility to
everybody and everything outside the
United States. The Courier, dwelling on
the United States laws against pauper emil
grants, uses the amazing argument that
''pauper emigrants laid the foundation of
the republic Despite these occasional
yelpings the popularity Of the fair seems
certain. Imperial and official circles have
taken the enterprise into favor and the
whole of Industrial Germany will follow.

course with foreign manufacturers. "Il
these meet through the fair" he said, "the
business of middlemen will suffer" The
imperial commissioner, Herr Wermuth
said Emperor William shows such into es
in inquiring into arrangements for Ger
man representation at the fair as suggests
that it is his intention personally to grace
the fair with his presence. Among the
German newspapers advocating t he lar2es
possible display of German products ir
Chicago, the popular Klein Jonrna
contends that Germany would be powerless
IN war of commercial rcprisals against
America, reminds tho people of the strength
of the German element in the United States
and saws Germans ought not renounce the
foremost place at the fair, which their nu-
merioal superiority should assure them.
