BISMARCK KEEPS IT UP|
Continuing His TRADE Against
Emperor William.
PREDICTS DISASTER FOR GERMANY.

He Says that the Emperor Has Fallen
Under the DepIorable Influence of His
DIother--The EK- Chancellor Believes He
VIII Again Come Into Power.
BERLIN, June S.-On his way to Kis-
teng Prince Bismarck stopped at Augs-
burg to visit one of his most loyal and
and lonR-standing friends, the Chief
Burgomaster, DR.. Ludwig Won Fischer,
member of the Bavarian and Imperial
Chambers. The Prince drove through
the streets in the Burgomaster's carriage
amid the plaudits of the multitude.
While at Augsburg the Prince un-
bosomed himself freely, evidently feel
ing that he was among true friends,
who would not betray any confidence re-
posed in them. However this may be,
trustworthy report of the Princes con-
versation has reached a correspondent
through private sources.
The exChancellor referred through
out to the Emperor as 'der junge
mann" He expressed his fear that
there were dangers ahead for Germany.
Some parts of the Emperor's foreign poll
icy were based on the active support of
the Radicals and Poles, with, until very
recently, the Ultramontanes and the
passive support of the Social Democrats.
Now, it was significant fact that
every one of these factions had been op-
posed to the formation of the Empire
The Prince admitted that some of his
measures while in power had been harsh,
but harsh measures were justified by
the necessity of keeping the Empire to-
gether.
The Emperor would sooner or later Bit
terly regret having nursed a viperous
coalition of parties, each striving for
the mastery ouly in order to undo what
it took almost lifetime to put together.
The latter-day moderation of the Social
Democrats, Prince Bismarck declared, is
illusive. This attitude will be main
tanned by them only until they consti-
tute a strong minority in Parliament.
Then they will throw off the mask and
violently force the now half-open door,
and thrust the Kaiser's chair outside.
The Ultramontanes, averred the Prince,
would prefer to bargain with an aUheis-
tic Socialist President rather than with
Protestant Emperor.
When the Kaiser consented to meet
the Gar at Kiel, said Bismarck, he
started on the road to Canossa. In 1891
he might have had visit from the Car
at German seaport, but at that time
he disdained it. He had climbed down,
and he would have many another debase-
menJ il he persisted in a policy of es-
tranging Russia.
Bismarck feared that the Emperor
was fast falling under the deplorable
English influence of his mother. This
was the more strange because in the
earlier stage of his career he violently
repulsed The anglomania which prevail
ed in some quarters near him.
Tha Prince expressed the belief that
the greatest benefit would be derived by
Germany from friendly policy toward
Russia, especially in Asia. This should
be pursued, even at the expense of Eng
lands preferences. A strong entente
between England and France would
spring up after Gladstone's return to
power, and then the Kaiser would soon
find on which side his bread was but
tered.
The Prince seemed confident that a
crisis In affairs at home and abroad
would ere long cause popular outburst
which would carry him into power again
despite the Kaiser's hostility.
