The 1mperiOus Emperor Causes His Royal
UncIes Annoyance.
NEW YORK, July 13 - Edmund Yates
special cablegram from London to the
Tribune says: Emperor William has proved
himself to be the most troublesome state
guest who ever visited our court When
Nicholas, Emperor of Russia, came TO En-
gland in 1874 he was a man Of fifty and had
been seventeen years on the throne, and
really was the Dictator of Europe for that
time Nicholas, however, did not expect
quarter as much personal attention from
the royal family as young William has ex-
acted and received. The Queens sons
have been rushing about in attendance on
their imrerious nephew like troop of run
ming footmen, and the Emperor, Instead of
following the programme which has been
drawn up for him, and Of which he himself
approved, made inconvenient alterations
almost every day, and fulfilled engagements
only when it pleased him to do So
The Queen successfully impressed upon
the Emperor the imperative necessity OF his
conhnlng his speech at Gulldhall To plati-
tudes and compliments, but learn that this
was not achieved without much discussion,
for his Majesty arrived at Windor in state
OF dangerous ecstasy concerning the subject
of the Triple Alliance, and would have liked
to explain his sentiments on this very deli
both at the state banquet at st. Georges
Hall and in this city.
The Emperor has given I'D the channel
and the Scottish cruise, and will GO instead
to Norway. He expects TO return from Nor
way by the end OF the month and PROPOSES
TO reach Cowes on the % or Sd of August.
The Empress and the children are to stay
at Felixstowe for about three weeks, after
which they will return TO Potsdam.

system of national insurance. The trip
ought to be OF use to Mr. Chamberlain, who
will, l understand, devote some time TO the
study OF the subject, his kno nowledge of which
Is undoubtedly at present some way behind
his zeal. The whole question of insurance
is, l under stand, to be vigorously handled
during the recess. l shall not indeed be
surprised II the vacation utterances would
force the Governmentinto issuing an author
lied programme of national insurance next
session.

the time has fully arrived when the car toons
should be returned to Hampton Court,

to be kept, lnasmuch as the room there in
which they were formerly hung was built
by Christopher Wren expressly for their
reception.
