prntty. Oct. "A curious kind Of unrest Is
.npnrent in court and military circles In Ber-
lin. Tho cuuse is lack Of confidence In the
judgment OF the morcurial and impulsivo
Young Emperor. His claims to infallibility In
stats mattces. his rashness in speaking what
n Inst on his mind. and his belief that all his
sets arc done by tile grace Of God" have led
ali patriotic statesmen to be fearful and un-
co,tain rs to his attitude In each now crisis In
European politics.
Tho old Emperor protested complete relt-
sncc on God and never failed TO give willing
hearing to all proposals Of his State advisers.
Nobody grumbles at tho occasional mistakes

hs planned to visit Btrasburg with King Hum

celebrated mission Of reconciliation to Paris,
but complaints are heard everywhere that the
Emperor's every act is the result Of sudden i'm
pulses, endorsed by the crowd Of sycophants

personal relations are governed completely
BY his likes and dislikes. aud no carries these
private preiudices into public affairs. He does
not brook contradiction. and refuses to hear
arguments against his decisions. sugges.
tons from his State advisers are usually met
with sharp roproof. as the Emperor thinks an
absolute monarch like himself should origi-
nate all the plans for new policies
Occasionally, however, he takes well-vciled
hint from Minister. but only to claim 1t as
his own and to execute 1t in his own rash
manner.
The chronic affection Of his car has developed
strong tendency to constant pettishness In
his once sunny disposition. and his supreme
efforts to keep every detail Of government In
his grasp have strained his nerves and shaken
his constitution. A good illustration OF the
Emperors conduct toward deserving mon who
for trivial reasons have incurred his dfspleas-
ure is given by the case OF Gen. Won Podbiel-
