made little difference to the Emperor. II,
worked during all the holiday season. from
early in the morning until late at. night

and took only short ride or drive in tn
afternoon. =
The approaches to the Castle were ever,
day surrounded by holiday makers from th
provinces, eager to get q view of the EN-
percr. On Thursday morning, accompanied
by his aide-de-camp, Major Won Moltke
who, since the death of Field Marshal Coun
Won Moltke, has been favored by the En-
peror, His Majesty went to Eisenach. wher.
he was guest of his uncle, the Grand Duk,
of Saxe-Weimar. The party enjoyed good
shooting on the Grand Dukes estates
Upon the receipt of the news of the death
of the Duchess of Mecklenburg, the EN-
peror Immediately cancelled his arrange
ments for the shooting and announced hi.
intention to attend the funeral.
Royal People in Rather Fran Health.
The Empress is at present very solicitous
about the health of the Czarina. Unfavor.
able reports concerning her have been re-
ceived at the Berlin court. The Czarina is
much affected BY the condition of the Grand
Duke George, her son, whose lung disease
| is becoming worse aud who is now believed
| to be in hopeless condition. The Czarina
| is attending him. The Emperor has ar
ranged to start on a months whaling trip

A telegram received in Berlin to-day an

to visit Potsdam, where be will remain four

announced, but from private advices it is
nito Political circles are agitated at the
success of Emperor William in inducing
the Car to visit Potsdam. The visit will,
undoubtedly. greatly influence the rela-
tions between the two empires. 1t has al
ready been intimated to the German jour-
mails that it would be advisable for them to
cease their attacks upon Russia.
An American Military Attaches Work.
Lieutenant Clarke, of the Ninth United
States Cavalry, who has been serving year
in the Eleventh Huzzars, at Dusseldorf. ar
rived in Berlin Monday. He was given an
audience by the Emperor Wednesday, at
which he bade His Majesty farewell prior
to his return to the United States The
Emperor treated him in most friendly
manner. as he always does Americans. He
inquired after Lieutenant John Bigelow, OF
the Tenth Cavalry, who is an old school
mate of his
Lieutenant Clarke has thoroughly studied
the work and training of the German
cavalry. which he declares to be the best in
the world. He attributes the efficiency
chiefly to the marvellous system of break
ing and training young horses which pre-
walls here. The discipline of the German
army, he SAYS, is far more strict than that of
the American army, but he did not see the
slightest cruelty on the part of the officers
The approaching visits of the members Of
the roval families, with the consequent in
flux of society, promises to give consider
able stimulus to the trade of Berlin.
Royal Families viii Flock to Berlin.
1t is now finally settled that besides the
Crar. the King and Queen of Italy, the
King and Queen of Sweden and the Queen
will arrive here before the middle OF June.
The Queen Regent of Holland and the
Queen will sojourn in the Black Forest for
time before coming to Potsdam. The
health of the young Queen is not very ro-
bust, and it is thought the air of the Black
Forest will have very beneficial effect
upon her.
Rumors 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 semi
officially denied. 1t is known here that the
Emperor is anxious to have q conference
with King Humbert, as he fears the attack
upon the italian military will force King
Humbert to reduce Italy's European
military expenditures, and thus weaken the
power of the Dreibund. 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
insistence of the German Minister at Rome,
supported by the Austrian Minister.
Anti-Lottery Movement in Germany.
An agitation has been started against the
project of a lottery to cover the expense of
beautifying the approaches to the Schlosse
and to greatly alter and improve the Under
den-Linden. The opponents of the project
declare that lotteries are increasing to an
alarming extent. and that their growing
love among the people will result in per-
nicious influence upon the prosperity Of the
country. The Emperor is personally op-
posed to the lottery scheme and would him
self meet the expense, hut the heavy drain
on his own exchequer in order to pay for
number of the guests rooms
in the Schlosse precludes him from do
ing so.
The vineyards Of Alsace Lorraine nearly
suffered the fate of the vineyard in France.
From mild weather the temperature sud-
denly dropped to 70 below zero. Enormous
damage was done in the vicinity of Stras-
burg, but the vine growers in the Kollmar
district announce that great success fol-
IL -.
The fires caused the temperature to rise, and
the result was that all their vines and fruit
trees were saved.
