BERLIN. Sept. 2.-Emperor william left
Coblenz for Treves this morning. accom-
PANIED by his suite and the prince of Naples.
The empress followed on Q later train.
The municipal authorities vt Trevss made a
most imperial reception. Tho whole oity
was deoked out in bunting and flowers. and
triu,nphal arches spHnnsd the road over
which the emperor and his party passed.
After driving through the streets and re-
ceiving an almost continuous ovation the
emperor proceeded TO Eupsn, whore he re-
viewed the Fifth army corps This after
noon no returned to Coblenz and grand
banquet held at the castle. Tomorrow
the emperor will start for Metz. where
Preparations have been mpleted to make
veritable march of triumph. This
dsmoEstration has considerable signifi-
canoe. 1t is not q mere coincidence that
the German emperor and the Italian crown
prince appear in Metz almost exactly ON
the anniversary Of Sedan. Everything de-
notes that the chiefs Of the triple alliance
mean now TO give France warning that she
must curb the chauvinism OF her people.
The Emperor Franz Joseph, of Austria
Hungary. left Isohl this morning TO attend
the maneuvers in Galioia. II WAS decided
carly in the week that he should not leave
Ischl until he should be due at the HunRa-
rian maneuvers. which will begin on Sept 8.
The press has raised such a clamor, how
ever about tho exposure of troops in Ga
lioia to cholera and reproached the govern
mens SO bitterly for assembling large
forces from the infected districts that the
emperor felt he must show his Willingness
to brave all perils to which he subjected
his army. Germany and Italy will be tho
only powers which will be represented by
attaches at the maneuvers. No other ooun-
tries were invited to be present.
Rumors have already reached Berlin that
the cholera has already appeared among
the troops marching to the field Of maneu-
vers.
Herr Won Sohielski, leader of the Poles in
the reichstaR. will succeed Count PAsadow-
ski now at the head of the imperial depart
mont Of finance. as chief of administration
in Posen. Tho appointment Ia gratifying
to the Poles. a. II assures to them n domi-
nAnt influence in the provinces. The En-
peror Williams pro- Polish policy Ia watched
jealousy in 81. Petersburg.
The cholera has failed TO cause a panic
her, as the people have perfect confidence
in the oity's good sanitary condition as
protection against any great increase In the
epidemic.
Tho oelsbration Of Germany's victory
over the French at Sedan was celebrated
generally throughout Germany yesterday,
and in some sections festivities were con-
tinued to-day. The most brilliant event
in the celebrations was the naneuvers of
the eighth army corps near Trsves. They
were witnessed BY the emperor and empress.
and by the crown prince of Italy.
Commenting on the Sedan celebrations
the Berlin Post takes a pessimistio view of
matters. 1t thinks Germany's situation q
serious one. and says all efforts to effect
friendly relations with France have failed.
Frances sucosss In Asia, the consciousness
and strength in its army. and last but not
least the hope of Russia's military co. oper-
atien, have acted % a stmulant to the
Frsaoh temper.
