movements, he will have masses
of cavalry crossing tho Havel some of the
horssmen being on pontoons and others on
RATS hastily constructed. After the
maneuvers at Bromber2, the emperor will
proceed to Metz and will conduct military
survey of Upper Alsace, thence will go to
Thuringia to take part in the military
maneuvers which are to be held at that
place. The emperor will not. AZ has been
his custom, be the guest of the duke of
SAKE Coburg- -Gotha, who las espoused tho
cause of Prinbe Bismarck, and loses no
chance to adversely criticize the doings of
the emperor. Imperial headquarters will
be established successfully at Erfurt and
Mulhausen. After these maneuvers have
been finished the emperor will return to
this city and subsequently pay a visit to
Vienna, being accompanied to the latter
city by Chancellor Won Caprivi.
The French squadron celebrations in
Russia have been made the occasion for
some German aphobes belonging to the
yacht club in st. Petersburg to insult and
quarrel with German members because

bers of the club opened a subscription to
cover the expenses of a semi-public ban
Quet to be given in honor of the French
mon, an excursion to Cronstadt and u sol
rec. The committee having the matter in
charge insisted that every member of the
club should contribute. In consequence
the club quarters have been q scene of sew

preludes to a sories of dueling challenges.
Semi-official newspapers here publish
accounts of the fetes with which
Russians have welcomed the Frenoh-
men, but do not comment upon them. The
PRESS generally disusses the political
bearings of the affair without acrimony.
The Kreuz Zeitung says: "Hhe German
navy, whose main duty is the defense of the
coast, is relieved of great probable cause
of anxiety, and having obtained assurance
of this great strategic advantage. Germany
can leave French and Russians to gush over
their theatrical fraternizations.'
1t is expected that the third circular is
sued by Frivys Councillor Wermuth, of the
department of the interior. lately appointed
imperial German commissioner to the Chi
ca2o fair, will be spread broadcast among
the various manufacturers of Germany. A
leading German paper holds that the impor-
tance of the reception rendered to the
French fleet by the Russian government
says that although the matter will exercise
a tangible influence on the relations exist
ing between France and Russia permanent
friendship of the Latin and Slavonio races
is impossible.
The National Zeitung also urges that gen
uine brotherhood of F.enchmen and Rus
slams is unattainable, holding that Russian is
uncivilized and that France has few
points of sympathy with barbaric Russia.
The Vossische Zeitung comments on Incl
dents attending the voyage of the French
fleet as afiording valuable strategic hints
for future war. It notes that French IRON
clads are deep draught and could not pass
through the sound to the Baltic, but had to
proceed to deeper channels, more open to
attack from Kiel. The Vossische calcu-
lates that French strategists are reckoning
on the aid of Denmark in the next war, but
holds that the support of Copenhagen forts
would be rendered futile.
Emperor Williams criticisms of the
standard of qualifications obtainnble in
terial consideration Of the subject, result
ing in an official announcement to-day of
new arrangements. Students who have
been through the requisite course in the
higher "reaP' schools, where languages,
arts and sciences are taught, are placed on
a practical equality with students from the
real gymnasium, and become entitled to
study architecture, mining and forestry,
with the subsequent right to state appoint
ments, including appointments in the postal
and telegraph services. Advancement to
the higher school no longer entities a stu
dent to render only one years military
service, but all students at the end of six
years course in any institution, after pass
ing satisfactorily an examination by state
commission obtain the right to reduced
terms of service. These notifications will
excite much comment whom they become
generally known.
Reports that the Hamburg American
Packet company are taking exiled Russian
jews as passengers at reduced rates met

arily made to general agents.
