Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable
BERLIN, June 22.-Count Schulenburg OF
the Tenth Huzzars reserves, and member
Oh tue upper house, has been brevetsed
ileutensnt-colonel by special order OF the
emperor, for 1.-The gallant defense Of his
imperial master against an ungrateful
vassal" The fact of the case is that
Schulenburg seconded Chancellor Caprivi
IN MS recent onslaught against Prince
bismarck in the upper house.
Inc Emperor William is fast losing mis-
popularity by his persistent unfolding OF
the tarln on corn and the new game laws
adopted few days ago in the Prussian
diet and passed by the reichstag last Sat
urday afternoon.
Inc scheme for holding an international
exhibition in Berlin is at last taking definite
shape. The originator of the idea is Prof.
hnuleant- 1t is not anticipated that there
Will be any difficulty whatever in inducing
the different European countries to take
part In the exhibition, the precise char
acter OF which is not yet divulged. but it
VIII be something quite different from
either the Eiffel tower Of Paris or the
Chicago exhibition, though quite as sensa-
tlonaI and decidedly more conspicuous
Inc American colony is so scattered that
all the plans which were in contemplation
Tor general celebration of the Fourth OF
July nave been abandoned and any festivi-
Ties VIII be purely private character.
The various trades unions have become
so demorallzed that a general strike is now
expected during the Berlin season.
A singular conflict has arisen between
the Emperor and directors OF the exhibit
ton OF works of art. The committee OF
selection refused to accept and excluded
from the collection picture of Field Mar
snail Won Moltke, painted by Wilma, Hun
garian artist, and finished Just previous to
the death OF the great general. Wilma
tried repeatedly TO obtain admission for his
picture TO the exhibition but without sue
cess Finally he managed to gain the
attention Of the Emperor. He carried his
portrait to the castle and obtaining an audi
ence submitted it to the Emperor. His
success was immediate. The Emperor
examined the work with the minutest scru-
tiny, was struck with its excellence, and
with the memory of the generals Inca
ments fresh IN his mind, praised the artist
for their faithful and life-liks reproduc-
tion- Not content with merely expressing
his admiration, the Emperor purchased ths
portrait on the spot for high figure for
not for the National gallery Sub
sequently he forwarded the picture to the
exhibition from which it had previously
been excluded and ordered it to be hung in
the best position in the gallery This
order was carried into effect Saturday,
and artistic circles, whsre jealousy of the
Hungarian painter is rampant, are stirred
from center to circumference By the sensa-
ton TO which they dare not give voice. Nc
incident could illustrate more distinctly
the grip this daring young sovereign has
upon all classes of society
The northern tour of the Emperor is to
De the most varied and elaborate he has
ever entered upon. The programme has
been liked as follows: The Emperor ar
rives at Kiel, June %, where he remains
until the forenoon of the 10Th. Thence he
goes with the Empress 10 Hamburg, yield

afternoon OF the same day he will embark
On the steamer t'urst Bismarck for Heligo-
and, where the men-of-war Mars and KOe-
liQ Wielhelm will be stationed to meet him.
During the night they will sail for Will

N the afternoon the Emperor aud Empress
will sail on the imperial yacht Hohenzol-
err for Amsterdam. where they are to be
entertained several DAYS by the court At
me conclusion OF that visit their maiesties
Will sail for Cowes, Isle of Wright, where

proposed so the Emperor on landing may
