LONDON, June 20.-There is no doubt that
the German government has taken serious
step in refusing 20 reduce the duties on I'M
ported corn. The harvest in Germany will
certainly prove deficient this year, and
although the deficiency may not be
very serious, that is not the sole
consideration. In France the winter
wheat crop will be almost complete 1all-
ure, and the prices of wheat have during
the last few weeks been rising everywhere.
Germany must necessarily import a
very considerable quantity OF gram 1000,
and Il to the advanced prices current In the
fri trade markets there must be added the
German import duty, it is quite certain that
the food of the people will be exceedingly
dear The mass of the people in Germany
live upon grain products mainly, wheat be-
Ing only to a scanty extent within their
reach. The prospect of dear food has OF
course a political bearing, and it has fur
nished a new weapon of which Social Dem
rrats have not been slow to avail them
selves 1t is quite possible, indeed, that
there may be seen during the next few
months, unless the government changes It's
mind, something like the trouble and agita-
ton which led to the abolition OF the corn
laws in England.
The following official information has
Just been given out as to the programme to
Entertain the kaiser during his weeks stay
In London: Instead of the miscellaneous
programme it has been decided to perform
Sir Arthur Sullivan's cantata, The Golden
Legend" on the occasion of the visit OF
Emperor William and the empress TO the
Albert hall. On Thursday evening,
July g. Madam Albani, Madam Bell,
Mr. Edward Lloyd and Mr.. Henschell
iave been engaged as the principal
ioloists. On Friday the kaiser will attend
reception and de jeuner at Guildhall and
state ball at Buckingham palace. On Satur-
lay, among other things, his majesty will
DC present at a royal garden party to be
given in his honor, the visit to Crystal pal
ice being left over till either Mon
lay Or Tuesday of the following week.
On one of these days the emperor
will attend ball at the foreign
office, and on the Wednesday he leaves Lon
don for Portsmouth.
Elaborate preparation is being made for
the coming repetition of ''ye maske OF
Howers'' which was so successfully re-
ceived in the hall of Graysi mn four years
ago in honor of the queens jubilee. The
spectacle is to take place this time IN the
inner temple hall on Wednesday next
Unfortunately, the selection of the day of
The Handel festival, and the stage direction
Of the '.Mas5e'' has been undertaken by
Mr. Arthur A. Brental, and the musical ar
engagements are once more in the hands of
Mr. NJ. W. Prendergast. The music is as
formed when the 'Maske'' was given be-
fore King James | at the White hall.
The installation of DR. Herman Adler as
chief rabbi will take place at the great
synagogue, Aldgate. London, on Tuesday
next and will be remarkable for its cere-
monial interest. Lord Rothschild will per-
form the ceremony and the congregation
will include the ministers and presidents of
London, and provincial congregations and
representatives of leading Jewish chart
taDle and educational institutions, the
lord mayor and lady mayoress
having accepted an invitation from DR..
Adler to be present.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and
several of their family fare staying at the
fashionable watering place of Earbourne.
So far no untoward incident marring
their visit has occurred, and the place is
Kept en- fete in their honor, and everybody
IN the crowd of prominent idlers
and health seekers contribute to the general
stock of enthusiasm which is made manifest
whenever the prince or any member of his
family makes an appearance In public.
Signs are already apparent that the waste
h criticism which threatened for a time to
oVerwhelm the prince is receding as rapidly
rs it rose, and that his royal highness'
popularity will soon be as great as ever.
