Emperor William was again confined to
his bed today. The bitter weather OF
the past three days has retarded the
emperor's recovery. For time yester-
day a perfect American blizzard pre-
vailed. Traffic on the streets was inn
peded for hours and business paralyzed.
The Reichsanzeiger this evening pub
fishes a communication from the en-
peror to the Russian minister announc-
ing that the time has arrived to annul
the sequestration OF the property of the
late King George of Hanover. In a let
ter dated Thursday the duke ofCumber-
land requests the emperor to give his
gracious consideration to the exc
cution OF the treaty dealing
with the property of the late
king. The letter concludes: 81 am
pleased to avail myself of the oppor-
tunity of once more declaring that it is
far from my intention to engage in anv
enterprise calculated to disturb or in
any way menace the peace of the Ger
man empire or the states belonging
thereto. I would never, with the re-
sources at my disposal, knowingly orig
mate or approve any hostile enterprises
instigated or promoted, directly or indi-
rectly, against your majesty or the
Prussian state"
The tone of the dukes surrender is
surprise to his adherents and opponents
alike. Some adequate declaration was
demanded from him by the govern
ment, but nothing more was expected
than the recognition of the German en-
pire with promise of friendly neutral
ity. The friends of the duke affirm that
Queen Victoria and the prince of Wales
induced the members of the Danish
royal family to join them in bringing
pressure on the duke to obtain consent
to the emperor's arrangement regarding
the duchy and Guelph fund. Improved
relations between the emperor and the
ruling families of Russia aud Denmark
are expected to result. Although the
reconciliation has only been definitely
effected within the last few days, the
members of the imperial circle credit
the report that the emperor is already
making arrangements to meet the duke
of Cum berland and the czar at Copen-
hagen during the early summer.
A meeting of $500 unemployed peo-
ple was held in the Tivola gardens to.
dsy. There was no disturbance. The
split among the Socialists assists the au-
thorities in distinguishing the danger
ous Anarchist section from the moder-
ates. The Anarchist section is increas-
ing in number. Fifteen hundred mem
bers of this section held meeting. at
which they denounced the moderates as
official Socialists and traitors to the pro-
.letariat Vorwaerts, as the organ of the
Socialist members of the reichstag was
delared no longer the mouthpiece of the
workingmen. Finally a resolution was
approved affirming atheism as recog-
nized by the party, an action which
means that revolution is it's method to
achieve its aim.
yorwaerts, replying to this section,
drew a distiction between the working
proletariat and the lumpen or canaille
proletariat; the former yindicating
socialism by parliamentary methods
the latter disgracing the cause OF the
workers by riot. Vorwaerts does not
admit that the Anarchists are making
any headway, but impartial outsiders
note the rapid growth of the extrem-
ists' numbers, as well as the violence ol
their utterances.
Extremists Aurbach and Biester are

Biester referred to the EN-
peror's speech, adding that if he
was condemned for melting civil

demned. The court at once stopped the
case and ordered the arrest of Biester on
the further charge of'lese majestic. Herr

The crop OF press prosecutions grows
