BERLIN, Aug. 13.-Emperor William has
decisively squelohed the proposed Berlin in
ternationa exhibition. To-nights Reich
sdnzeiger states that the emperor, acting
on a report from Chancellor Won Caprivi,
has withdrawn all official support from
the scheme. The chanoellors report de-
clares, it is said, that the reason for not APP
proving of the holding Of the exhibition Is
that only a small section of German in
| dustrial societies held that an exhibition
was desirable and that a majority of the
federal governments denied its necessity on
economic groundS The Prussian ministers
were specially opposed to the project,
while forty members OF the
Bundesrath voted against it aud only seven
veted In favor Of It. The chancellor con-
siders that unenimity was indispensable to
success, and that being lacking he recom-
mends that the emperor discountenance the
undertaking. In this instance the emperor,
who personally favored the holding of an
majority. An influential section Of the
press, chiefly the national liberal and
frlesinnige organs, have been indulgiug IN
| outspoken attacks upon the ministers for
submitting to the will OF
the emperor regardless OF their
| duties to the country. and upon the emperor
for exercising despotic sway over every
ministerial department, The resignation
of Herr Herrfurth. Prussian minister Of the
interior, 10 now credited, not to a difference
| in policy with Herr MIGUEL the Prussian
minister Of finance, but because he incurred
| the emperor's disfavor by combating the
| Schloss lottery.
A SLAP AT TIE EMPEROR.
The Vossische Zeitung risks prosecution
| by the publication Of an article under the
caption Of THE Grown aud the People"
| protesting against the personal bias OF the
| emperor in swaying all important affairs of
state policy. The ministers slavishly ask.
| says the VosstSche ZeitunO, not what Is best
| for the country, but will it please the
| emperor9 Everywhere the imperial person
is brought forward and the responsibility Of
the cabinet is more and more disregarded.
| This, tho paper says, is dangerous policy,
because public opinion is far from APPROX
ing certain measures supposed to have their
origin with the emperor. The ministers
having no other ambition beyond carrying
out the will of the GROWN are hardly
| endurable even Co an AutocTatio
state. German statesmen ought to
resign IL they tind their protests against
| the emperor's designs made impotent
The article reflects with fidelity the feeling
which pervades all GLASSES. Though the eu-
| ergy and good intentions OF the emperor are
| appreciated, discontent with his lmperious
| intermeddling prevails everywhere. The
instability of public affairs, the constant
change OF high officials. the frequent re-
| in policy, now radically liberal aud anon
extremely conservative, has aroused gen.
eraI longing for a firm hand and for un-
| swerving methods Of government, even X
| they are sometimes oppressive, as under
! Prince Bismarck. The officials and the
| public then knew what to expect. They
had confidence that the measures proposed
would be carried through at all risks.
| GLADsToYE's FOREIGN POLICY.
| Some satisfactory assurances have already
reached the foreign office here through the
London embassy, announcing Mr.. Glad
stones foreign policy. All the German
political parties viewed Mr.. Gledstone's ad
| vent as prime minister with regret, as likely
| TO imperil the solidity CT the triple alliance {,
II Lord Rosebery was foreign minister in
| his cabinet. AS late as yesterday advices
that Lord Rosebery. finding that MIR.
| Gladstone refused to follow his lead in the
| position OF England toward the triple
alliance, Egypt and Russia, and differing
with him in the essentials Of his policy, re-
fused to accept office To-iay's official dis
patches announce a probable entente be-
| tween Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Rossbery,
| the former assen.ing to a continuance Of
Lord Salisbury's foreign policy on its main
points.
THE TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
| Thu safc al froaky
with Russia has concluded It's discussion. It
| has recommended as a basis for the neRo-
| tiations decrease In the tariff on Russian
| grains aud timber in exchange for lower
| tariff on German manufactures, especially
on iron and steel. The Russian
commission has already been appointed
| to meet the German commission. Baron
Lameran, consul general at Amsterdam,
is at the head OF the German commission.
| Apart from the tariff arrangements the
| Russian government asks an important
concession in resembling OF the edict pre-
venting the reichsbank from making ad-
vances on Russian loans The cOuncil OF
| the reichsbank has been consulted and 1t
favored repeal of the prohibition, but the
| government is understood TO be adverse to
| granting the concession unless some po-
| litical entente is assured with the CONNER
| cial one In the event OF a treaty being
concluded merchants and shippers engaged
| IN the Baltic LTaQ6 nope bHdC inc govern
ment will declare Stettin, Dantzio and Kiel
free ports.
WAR ON TOBACCO GROWING.
The Reiohstag will resume its sitting In
November. The proposed government
measure prohibiting the culture OF native
tobacco, while increasing the duty on
| foreign tobacco, may never see the light.
| The ministers have been warned OF the
fierce opposition to the bill. Prohibition
would mean ruin 30 many thousands
OF tobacco growers in Germany, even
| IL they were reimbursed by
government bounty, while thousands of
persons employed in the production OF
domestic cigars would be thrown out of
work without compensa tion This would
add largely to the socialist discomfort.
! The ministers must devise other fiscal
methods TO raise the money necessary for
the increased army expenditures, or risk
storm against which the emperor's favor
will be unable 10 shield them.
The convention OF German horse butchers
has agreed to open a hrst-class restaurant
here for the purpose Of educating the upper
| classes to the use of horse flesh as Wand.
| report submitted TO the convention stated
that there are O. 400 horse butchers In Ger
many, who kill $4,000 horses annually.
| These horses are mostly fattened for the
meat market No worn out animals are
used.
