Special to THE MORNING CALL.

LONDON. March 30.-It is an open secret
that Emperor William has managed to
offend deeply nearly all the German princes
by his extraordinary arrogance, particularly
to the Prince Regent of Bavaria, the Duke
of Sake -COburg- -Gotha. and the Grand Duke
of Hesse. The Emperor's perpetual motion
craze has set in ag tin with renewed vio-
lence. Alsace, Lorraine and the Rhinish
provinces have all to be inspected within
the next month, and in addition t. his visits
to England, the Austrian maneuVers and
Norway, the Emperor has proposed to him.
self to visit the Queen Regent of Holland
and the King of the Belgians, and half
dozen other surprise excursions at least are
under discussion.
WILL BE RECALLED.
NJ. Herbette, the French EmbasSador-at
Berlin, is about to be recalled on the ground
that he ought to have prevented Empress
Frederick's visit to Paris, which is exces-
siyely absurd and foolish, for the secret
was so well kept that poor Herbette knew
nothing of Empress Frederick's intention
until sine had reached Cologne. Albert
Drcrais, EmbassadOr at Vienna, will prob
ably succeed Herbette at Berlin.
FORCED TO CHANGE HER RELIGION.
The truth about the conversion of the
Grand Duchess Serge of Russia, is that
she found that if she remained Lutheran
her continued residence in the holy empire
was impossible, and indeed, it was on the
cards that her husband would get his mar
riage annulled. The Grand Duke.
WIN EnOarOr paul
than any other member of the
Romanoff family, has always been
dissipated, liare-brained creature, ana the
relations between MIN and his clever wife
have long been the reverse of cordial. The
Grand Duke has latterly become a religious
fanatic and his intense bigotry manifested
itself in flghty vaporings against his hereto
wife and all her relations. The Grand Duke
is mere tool Of the Reactionaries,
of whom PebedonOszaff is the leading spirit
KING GEORGES TOUR.
The King of Greece leaves Athens shortly
on his way to Copenhagen and he is tn be
absent from his dominion for about sven
months. His programme includes visits to
London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and
the cure at Weisbaden. 1t is generally be-
lieved in Athens that although King George
may not formally abdcate yet, that his alb
sence from the country will become every
year longer in duration and that the
Duke of Sparta Nil bs the de tacto ruler OF
the Kingdom.
DISAPPEARANCE OF TWO OFFICERS.
Although the matter has not yet got into
the papers, much anxiety is felt at the dis
appearance in Persia of the promising
young officers, Captain Edmund Burton and
Captain Vaughan. The former is one of
the eight soldier sons of General Burton,
the author of IAN Indtan OliO' and "Remi-
niScences of Sport in India" They started
in the autumn with the intention of pros
pectng a new route to the Russian frontier
through an uneXplored portion of Persia,
and although they were timed to reach En-
gland in March at the latest nothing what
ever has been heard from them since they
set out from Yezd in November.
DILKE's RETURN TO POLITICAL LIFE.
Sir Charles Dilke's return 10 Parliament
seems now almost assured, and he will owe
his success to w. 4. Stead Had the matter
been left to tho Reform Club and the con-
stituency concerned, there is no doubt that
such pressure would have been brought 10
bear upon the candidate and caucus which
adopted him that his candiduture would
have been withdrawn on some plausible
pretext; but this self-constituted admins
