The Emperor's New Noble Enemy
The Emperor will not, as has been his
custom heretofore, be the guest of the Duke
Of SAKE dCoburg- -Gotha, who has espoused
the cause Of Prince Bismarck, and loses no
chance TO adversely criticise the doings of
Emperor William. The Imperial head
quarters will be established successfully at
Erfurt and NIulhausen. After these ma
neuvers 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 Emperor is thus truly deserving of the
name. Der Reisen Kaiser"
The French squadron celebrations in
Russia have been made the occasion for
some GermanaphObes belonging TO a yacht
club in st. Petersburg to Insult and quarrel
with the German members because thev re-

expenses Of a Seml-publc banquet TO be
given in honor Of the Frenchmen, an eXcur-
sion to CrcnStadt and a soiree, and the COM
mittee having the matter in charge insisted
that every member of the club should con-
tribute funds for these festivities.
Russo-German DueIs in Prospect
In consequence the club quarters have
been the scene OF several verbal encounters,
which are probably the preludes to a series
Of dueling challenges.
Semi-oticiai newspapers here publish ac-
counts oi the fctes with which the Russians
have welcomed the Frenchmen, but do not
comment on them. The press generally dis
cUsseS the political bearings of the affair |
without acrimony. The hreuSe Ztitang saws:
'Ibe German navy, whose main duty is the |
defense Of the coast, is relieved of a great |
probable cause Of anxiety, and having OBJ
tanned assurance Of this great strategic ad-
vantage, Germany can leave the French and
Russians TO gUsh over their theatrical frater-
Eizations."
4 leading German paper holds that the
importance OF the reception rendered to the
French fleet by the Russian Government
has been exaggerated. The paper further
saws that although the matter will exercise
a tangible influence on the relations exist
ing between France and Russia, perma-
nenJ friendship of the Latin and Slavonic
races is impossible.
Minister Phelps in Fair Realth.
United States Minister Phelps is in re-
ceipJ Of numerous telegrams from America,
pointing out the fact of the free circulation
Of false stories regarding a second opera
