Special to THE MORNING CALL.

BERLIN, May 1S.-The German En-
peror. accompanied by many notabes,
proceeded to GoerlitZ, in Silesia, to-day,
where he personally unveiled the monu-
ment to his grandfather, Emperor Will
liam |. A great crowd was present, and
the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. After
the exercises at the monument an elab-
crate dinner was discussed. The Emperor
did not disappoint the distinguished audi
ence, for in a speech he said, speaking
with great solemnity: This festivity is
in the midst of serious times. Our army
requires remodehIg, and l have sum-
mOned the nation to provide the necessary
means. All other questions are inferior
TO this most serious question, the one upon
which depends the very existence Of the
fatherland, and we need absolute unity in
order to solve it. Whatever separates us
as Germany. whatever causes our views to
diverge, must now be put aside, because 1t
imrerils the future of the fatherland."
the speech made profound impression

clared that in view of the experiences of

with concern the vast increase of fire loss
in the country in 1892. 1t was estimated
at S151.516,09S an increase over 1891. when
the FIRE loss was unprecedented. The
losses since January, 1893. have gone on at

The Star says: The legal proceedings

said that when the mandate was returned
he would make point against it. I'VE
intend" he remarked, "to fight this ques-
tion until we have not a single ledge to
stand on"
The point may not be pertinent or
very important one, but it will tend to de-
lay action for the present and perhaps
until Congress meets, and this is the very
thing which the opponents of the law de-
sire to accomplish.
Secretary Gresham says he wants it dis
tinctly understood that he has never told
any one that the Chinese exclusion act was
a dead letter
An authentic statement has been OBJ
tanned as to the interview between Secre-
tary Gresham and the Chinese Minister at
the State Department on Wednesday last.
The interview was entirely void. in tone
and feature, of any suggestion of sensa-
tionalism. Nothing whatever was said by
the Minister concerning any possibility
that the Chinese legation in Washington
would be Withdrawn as a result of the en-
forcement of the Geary law, and it can be
stated on the authority of Secretary Gres-
ham that he has not received intimation
from any source that any such proceeding
is contemplated.
During the interview the Chinese Minis
ter assured Secretary Gresham that he
believed the Chinese Government would
not resort to any retaliatory measures, and
there would be nothing done by his Gov
ernment that would disturb the present
friendly relations between the United
States and China. The Minister was OF
the opinion that no trouble would result
from the law. The interview was pleas
ant throughout and lasted about twenty
minutes

This disposes of the matter finally unless
the case again comes before the court on a

cations pointing strongly to the assump-
tion that copy of the minority opinion
of the court will certainly be forwarded to
The Chinese Government through diplo-
matte channels before any extended sys-
tenn of hostile action under the law will lie
inauguratsd. and the probabilities seem 10
favor prolonged status quo on the Chi
nese expulsion question.
Assistant Secretary Curtis of the Treas
ury Department has been called upon to
decide whether a Chinese saloon-keeper
is laborer or merchant. A Chinaman,
engaged in the saloon business, left New
York for visit to his home In China about
six months ago, and has now returned.
He was denied entrance, and the case
came here for final decision. 1t may reach

perhaps another minister with better
business head might achieve better results.
He said that he did not think he was
absolutely essential to the tabernacle any
way"
The floating debt on the tabernacle is
said to be about 100000. The trustees
have now about S23. 600 in hand. 1t is said

pressed their Willingness to take 80 per
cent of their claims, and Rev. Chandler

rangement Of the tabernacle, is said to be

Tonight Talmage himself confirmed the
