Even this brief respite from state cares
afforded him a more complete rest than he
has taken before. Even in his recreation

deem hard work. On Thursday night. for

The newspaper discussion on the En-
perOr's relations to Bismarck does not
abate. although the public have been dis
being friends. Official opinion. az ex-
planned in last weeks letter. overshadowed
the popular illusion. Reports are still rife
as to exchanges of messages between the
Emperor. Bismarck aud the Empress
Frederick as to mediation through Count
William Bismarck and as to the Emperor's
planning a visit to Friedrichsruhe. The
truth is there is no present plan OF recon-
ciliation. Neither the Emperor nor Bis
marck ever intended q reconciliation to be
achieved in any way except by the others

strength of the Prince the Bismarckian

attacked fnteiiiRently. In connection with
the governments decision to request an ex-
traordinary credit for the navy they excite
much opposition.
their hope that the government majority
in the Reichstag Will go to pieces on the
estimates. The National Zeitung. in an
unprejudiced leader. argues that the gov
ernment In asking for u large increase OF
the navy commits a dangerous blunder. It
is impossible, says the writer. for Germany
to expect q fleet of the first rate besides an
immense army. The Reichstsg which
passed the army bill by only q meager
majority. he adds will undoubtedly reject
the bill proposing q new burden for the
nav. The demands of the government
for the navy are based partly on reports
of the recent maneuvers in the Baltic.
These reports indicate that war ships OF q
new type are required. The torpedo fleet
was found to be very effective. but the
large vessels must be partly superseded by
cruisers capable of ramming the strongest
ironCiads. In the last maneuvers the
Target ironclsds, Deutscheland and Kenig
Wilhelm. were of no service In the heavy
weather, because they could not use their
guns In the service. Caprivi may utilize
these incidents well enough TO persuade
the Reichstag TO think with him In the
matter.
PrIvy Councillor Carl Hoffman, one OF
the German jurors at the worlds fair. told
the correspondent that nobody at Chicago
received the German jurors Neither the
State. nor town. nor exhibition authorities
paid the slightest attention To them. Be-
fore they left Berlin they were requested
by Imperial Commissioner Wermuth TO
bring with them their full dress or evening
dress. The only time they needed such
elaborate toilets. however, was when the
imperial commissioners gave them dinner
Co welcome them TO the city. Henry Willard
was the only man who showed them hos
pitality. Upon inquiry Priyy Councillor
Hoffman, learned that the reception COM
mIttee had spent all it's money upon the
Duke of Veragua. and had nothing with
which TO entertain European jurors.

the Reichstag before Ablwardts election.
has just finished q two months term IN

Stuttgart authorities.
Amid his many dnties the Emperor has
found time to regulate the tbeaters and
