bluster can hardly be laid to her
charge.
On the other hand. the German en-
peror does not cease to make sensation

that while Bismarck was yet at the
helm Wilhelm, having made long
speech. asked the chancellor for his
opinion of it. Il do not" answered the
willy chancellor. remember the begin

therefore, understand the middle of it,

Meanwhile Russia increases and
builds up her navy. Great war ships
have appeared on the Black sea and
the construction Of many others is in
progress. In fact. the present govern
ment is specially distinguished by the
great progress made in naval construc-
ton. which fact aroused suspicion in
England that Russia seriously con;em-
plates cruiser war, threatening Eng
lish colonies and commerce. To these
suspicious Lord Salisbury gave vent

no pretense OF threatening any power
through her navy.
1t seems that the present ear has
deyiatcd from the traditional Russian
policy of friendship for all things Prus-

tiuence which. as is well known. was ex-

Alexander III. Alexander III. could not
continue the work of his father without
lessening the prestige of imperial
power, which. moreover. could not ad-
init that it stood in danger from the

ten many telling letters to various Rus

The treaty OF Frankfort Of 1871 was
one OF the greatest ou;rages ever com
mittcd against the laws of social moral
ity. When the neutral powers per-
miticd the consummation Of that treaty
they were guilty OF an objectionable
blunder, for its existence furnishes n
perpetual motive for new war in
Europe. Ii stands. indeed. as the great
crime and blundcr Of this century-the
pledge and guarantee Of all the dangers
now threatening European countries.
Thanks to the treaty OF Frankfort a

conjecture. that the German emperor
is convinced that the car is steadily
losing his popularity by not continuing
the reforms begun by his father. Popu-
larity may have been the goal of VIII
helms ambition, and this may explain
his so-called liberalism. We see. as in
the case of Gladstone, that glory can
be gained by liberalism, and so if VIII
helm, by adopting liberal policy, could
reach greatness, his ambition would be
gratlfied by the reflection that he had
gotten there" by IA wholly different
path from any followed by his ances-
tors. Hence he abolished the special
laws against the social democrats. 1t
is true that the social democrats had
never, even in the most trying hour of
their oppression disgraced their party
by acts of anarchistic violence. and 1t
was therefore the easier for Wilhelm
to emancipate them from penal disabili-
ties. At one time it even appeared
that the emperor was going to join the
socialists himself-at least il we are to
judge from the rambling speeches he
delivered on this point and at which
Bismarck laughed in his sleeve.
1t was here that the emperor and the
chancellor separated. The one had be-
hind him great army. the other only
long years OF successful experience.
Wilhelm ceased to be the emperor in
the eyes of Bismarck because the latter
ceased to be Bismarck in the eyes of
Wilhelm.
Now the emperor has once more
vcered around and has become less in
terested i'll social regeneration than in
projects antagonistic to socialism. 1t
is not hard to predict that the crown
of glory he seeks to attain will prove
many sizos too small for the super
natural development of the imperial
head which is to receive it.
As far Us Caprivi is concerned he can
Eny with the Roman ambassador:
should l be successful in my mission
1t will be said that my country sent
me; should / fail, l can say that l was

indeed. has little to risk. The Prussian
who fears the ridiculous is more OF a
coward than he who fears an enemy,
and Wilhelm himself has said that the
Prussian fears no one but God. 1t is
notable that the longer the emperor's
speeches get the shorter Caprivi's be
come.
solution of the Question.
The naval episodes ut Cronstadr have
been regarded by Wilhelm with sus-
picious solicitude, although to receive

UNEARTHING A TREASURE.
Jewels and Gold Hidden by Order of
Macmillan Found in Mexico.

Jewels and Gold Hidden by Order of
Macmillan Found in Mexico.
CITY OF MExICo.-A few days ago
some old and musty documents were
found here by which it was learned that
treasure, consisting of jewels and gold
coin, amounting in value to 81, 600, 600, Is
buried in this city. The documents state
that the wealth was secreted by order of
Emperor Maximilian. The discovery of
these documents produced sensation
among those who were permitted to share
the secret, and preparations were at once
made for unearthing the treasure. The
work Of excavation was begun, and in a
short time clay vessel filled with gold
powder was unearthed. Then came several
pieces of silverware. A depth of only a
few feet has been reached, the work hav-
ing been temporarily interrupted by a
great flow of water into the cavity. As
soon as the water can be shut out or con-
trolled, the work Of excavation will be
resumed. There seems to be no doubt
about the documents being genuine and
it is believed that all of the great wealth
will be unearthed.

The President Calls Upon the People
to Study the Financial Situation.
WAsIIINGToN, ID. C.-Thc President
said Monday evening in reply to direct
question by repre- cntativc of the United
Press that he Intended to call an extra
session of Congress not earlier than the
1st nor later than the 18th of September,
unless unexpected contingencies should
ncccssitatc an earlier meeting.
The President further said: "While
there has been no mystery nor secrecy in
regard to my intention in this matter, ]
think it is not amiss :hat our people
should be Informed authoritivcly that the
time is at hand when their representatives
in Congress will be called upon to deal
with the financial condition, which is the
only menace to the country's welfare and
prosperity. 1t is we'll for the people to
take up the subject for themselves and
arrive at their own conclusions as to the
merits of the financial policy, which
ob.iges us to purchase idle silver bu'lior
with gold taken from our reserve. One
does not need the eye of tinancier to sec
that this gold, thus subtractcd from tho
government stock, is eagerly seized bv
other nations for the purpose Of strength
cning their own credit at our expense.
"It does not need the art of Statesman
ship TO detect the danger that awaits
upon the continuance of this operation
Already the timidity of capital is pain
fully apparent and none of us can fail to
Sc, that the fear and apprehension in
monetary circles will ultimately bring
suffering to every humble home in our

81 think that between now and the meet.
ing of Congress much depends upon the
action OF those engaged in financial oner-
ations and business enterprises. Our vast
national resources and credit are album
dainty sufficient to justify them in tho
utmost faith and confidence. If, in.
stead of being frightened, they arc con.
scrvativc, and if, instead of gloomily an.
ticipaing immediate disaster, they con.
tribute their share of hope and stcadiness,
they will perform patriotic duty and at
the same time protect their own interest.
