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 a semi
official notice regarding the alarmist reports
about the Emperor's health. No German
newspaper had gone beyond alluding to the
ridiculous stories of the 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
GaIdes du Corps would not take place until
the Emperor had rested for fortnight
after his arrival at Kel. Some minor Or
gans thereupon announced that the grand
cavalry maneuvers at Bromberg, in which
the Emperor is especially interested. would
not be graced by his presence.
The Emperor arrived at Kiel at $50
O'clock this evening and remains on board
his yacht. The report of DR.. Leutpold.
who has been attending the Emperor, is
that the injury to his limb is SO rapidly pro-
crossing to a cure that he will probably be
able TO resume the partial use Of his leg,
and walk within week.
The official telegraphic dispatches re-
ceiYed here during the course of the even
ing indicate that it is the intention of En-
peT0r William to carry out the programme
which he had planned before the accident
occurred, with the exception of witnessing
the TempelhOf review on The 22d inst Later
lie will 60 to SchwarZenau to meet Emperor
Francis Joseph and witness the Austrian
maneuverS.
The Borsen Courier follows the Vossische
Zeitung and the Tageblatt in carp
lecG, on the ground of the growth
OF American hostility TO every body
and everything outside the United States.
Ihe 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" Despite these occasional yelp-
q n9S the popularity Of the fair seems GER
lain. Imperial and official circles have taken
the enterprise into favor and the whole of
industrial Germ any Will follow. The
American Worlds Fair Commissioners have
cOrcurred in praising the warmth Uf the Off
cial greetings extended TO them.
This pleasant state Of affairs, they de-
clared, was largely due 10 the energetic
efforts Of William Walter Phelps, United
States Minister TO Germany. Moses T.
Handy, one of the members of the commits
sion, referring to the attacks made by the
NpeSiSCllo LellulE, Sdlu Iuey naQ been ln-
sp!Ted by some middlemeD, here or in New
York, whose interest is to keep the Ameri-
can buy CT from direct intercourse with the
foreign manufacturer. &" If these meet
through the fair" lie said, the business of
the mIddlemen will suffer"
The imperial Commissioner, Baron Wor-
muth, says Emperor William shows such an
interest In inquring into the arrangements
for German representation at the fair as
suggests that il is his intention personally
to grace the fair with his presence. Among
the German newspapers advocating the
largest possible display of German products
In Chicago the popular klelne Journal is
prominent. The journal contends that
Germany would be powerless in a war of
commercial reprisals against America, re-
minds the De ople OF the strength of the Ger
man element in the United States, and
says that Germans ought not to renOunce
the foremost place at the fair, which their
numerical superiority should assure them.
The projects 10 draw Switzerland into the
Dreibund Zullverein did not pr0suer The
meeting OF the treaty delegates at Vienna
has been suspended, the Swiss Government
refusing to make the concessions demanded.
Herr Steiger, Chief Engineer of the
Bochum Association, has sucided. His
mind become weakened since the scandal
caused by the trial of the officials of that
company charged with fraud in affxlng the
Governments mark TO inferior steel rails,
which had not been legally inspected.
