made little difference TO the Emperor.
He worked during all the holiday season
from early in tho morning until late at
night; gave the usual audiences to tao
Ministers. and only took a short ride or
drive in the afternoon. The approaches
20 the Castle we're every day surrounded
by holidav-makers from the provinces,
eager 20 get view Of the Emperor. The
Emperor has arranged to start On
months whaling trip on July 9th.
telegram received in Berlin announces
that the Gar has finally consented 10 visit
POtsdam. whore he will remain four days.
The arrangements have not yet been au-
nounccd. but from private advices II IL ex-
pectod that his Wis will be SIM -,ncog1ito.
Political circles are agitated a. the success
of Emperor William in inducing the Gar
10 visit Potsdam The visit Will undoubt-
eddy greatly influence the relations be-
tween the two empires. IL has already
been intimated TO the German journals
that it would be advisable for them to
cease their attacks upon Russia.
PROSPECTIVE ROYAL VISITORS.
The approaching visits of members Of
royal families, with the consequent ln1ux
of society, promises to gave considerable
stimulus 10 the trade OF Berlin. IL is now
finally settled that besides the Car, the
King aud Queen of Italy. the King and
Queen OF Sweden, and the Queen Regent
and Young Queen OF Holland Will arrive
here before the middle of June.
humOrs have been circulated that the
King and Queen OF Italy will not come to
Berlin owing TO the political crisis IN Italy.
These reports, however, are seml-of1cially
denied. IL is known here that the Empe-
TOR IL anxious 20 have conference win
King Humbert, as be fears that the attacks
upon the italian military credits will force
King Humbcrt 20 reduce Itely's European
military exponditures and thus weaken the
power of the Drebund. The fact that the
Italian Ministry has agreed that only ex-
penditures for the military IN the colonies
shall be reduced is largely due to the IN
stance of the German Minister at home,
supported by the Austrian Minister.
OPPOSITION TO LOTTERIES.
An agitation has been started against
the project for a lottery to cover the ex-
pense of identifying the approach to the
Schloss. and to greatly alter and improve
the Inter den Linden. The opponents OF
the project declare that lotteries are IN
creasing to an alarming extent, ana that
the growing love thereof among the peO-
pie will result in O pernlclous influence
upon the prosperity of the country. Inc
Emperor is personally opposed to the lot
terry scheme, aud would himself meet tne
expense, but the state of his finances WILL
not permit MIN to do so.
DAMAGE TO VINEYARDS.
The vineyards in Alsace-LorTaine sui
fered nearly the same fate as the vineyards
in France. From mild weather the tenn
perature suddenly dropped to seven de-
grees below zero. Enormous damage was
done in the vicinity of Strasburg, but the
yine-growers in the Kollmar District an
nounce that great success followed their
burning tar IN the vicinity Of vineyards.
The fires caused the temperature 10 rise;
and the result was that oil their vines and
fruit-trees were saved.
ALLEGED TRICHINE.
The German press has circulated story
that trichIn@ had been discovered IN
American pork at Stettin, and that Pro
lessor Nirchow had gone 10 investigate the
matter. Professor Nircbow now publishes
card stating that the entire story IS I'M
true.
