BERLIN, March l2.-The bitter weather
of the past three days has retarded the
e~mperor's recovery. For a time yester-
day a perfect American blizzard prevailed.
Traffic on the streets was impeded for
hours and business was paralyzed.
The Reichsdnzei0er this evening pub
fishes a communication from the emperor
to the Russian ministry announcing the
time has arrived to annul the sequestra-
ton property Of the late King George of
Hanover.
In a letter dated Thursday the Duke of
Cumberland requests the emperor to give
his gracious consideration to the execution
of the treaty dealing with the property of
the late king. The letter concludes, Il
am pleased to avail myself of the oppor-
tunIty of once more declaring it is far
from my intention TO engage in any enter
prise calculated to disturb or in any way
menace the peace of the German empire
or states belonging thereto. | would
never with the resources at my disposal,
knowingly originate or approve any hos.
tile enterprises instigated or promoted,
directly or indirectly, against your majesty
or the Prussian state.
The tone of the dukes surrender is a
surprise to his adherents and opponents
alike. Some adequate declaration was
demanded from him BY the government.
but nothing was more expected than a
| recognition of the German empire with a
promise of friendly neutrality. The
friends of the duke affirm Queen Vic
toria and the Prince of Wales induced
members OF the Danish royal family to
Join them in bringing a pressure on the
duke to obtain this consent to the EN-
peror's arrangement regarding the Duchy
and Guelph fund. Improved relations
between the emperor and the ruling
families of Russia and Denmark are ex-
pected to result. Although a reconcila
ton has only been definitely effected
within the last few days, members of the
imperial circle credit the report of the
emperor already making arrangements to
meet the Duke of Cumberland and the
car of Copenhagen during the early
summer.
A bulletin issued tonight says the con-
dition of the grand duke of Hesse is
hopeless. A meeting of $500 unem.
| ployed people was held in Tivoli gardens
today. There was no disturbance. A
split among the socialists assists the au-
thorities In distinguishing the dangerous
anarchist section from the moderates.
The anarchist section is increasing in
numbers. Fifteen hundred members
of this section held a meeting at which
they denounced the moderates as official
socialists and traitors to Proletariat. The
V~or1oderts, as the organ of the socialist
members of the reichstag, was declared
no longer a mouthpiece of the working
men. Finally a resolution was approved
affirming atheism as recognized by the
party, an action which means that revolu-
ton is its method to achieve its aims.
The VortOdrtS, replying to this section,
drew a distinction between the working
proletariat and lumpen or ~canaille prole-
t%ariat, the former vindicating socialism by
parliamentary methods, the latter by dis.
grazing the aus of the workers by riot.
The Vor1odrts does not admit that the
anarchists are making any Roadway, but
impartial outsiders note the rapid growth
of the extremists numbers as well as the
violence of their utterances. Extremists
Auerbach and Biester are on trial on the
charge of melting civil war.
During the course of the day Biester
referred to the emperor's speech, adding
If he was condemned for melting civil
war the emperor ought to be also con-
demned. The court at once stopped the
case and ordered the arrest of Biester on
a further charge of lese majestic. Herr
Zubeil. an officer of the Berlin municipal
government, expressing himself freely on
the emperor's utterances, was also ar
rested. The crop of press prosecutions
grows daily.
Even obscure papers published in
Leipsic, Mulhausen and Hanover do not
escape the vigilance of the public prose-
cutor. A municipal paper announced the
issue of a cartoon on the carnival process
sion, in which a group presented a DIG.
torial burlesque of the emperor's Braden-
burg advice to the m%alcontents to emf.
CRATE. The emperor wanted an issue of
the cartoon stopped by the government
authorities. His maiesty's intolerance of
criticism approaches a craze.
United States Minister Phelps has re-
turned from Egypt. His health is much
improved by his vacation.
Concerning a compromise on the pri-
mary education bill, the governments
offer simply amounts to the lnclu-
sion of several sections omitted
from the original measure. The national
liberals will not assent to any compromise
short of recognition Of religious liberty.
