BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-1t now appears that
Emperor William, on Sunday last. also
received an internal machine from Or
leans similar to the one which was sent
to Chancellor Won Caprivi. The infer
nal machine sent to the emperor was
accompanied by a letter. Both ma
chine and letter were delived at the Of
fee OF the emperor's civil cabinet, where
some Of the employees became suspici-
ous OF the contents OF the box. They
accidentally discovered its real nature,
and soon managed to render it harmless.
Emperor William has not yet been
Informed Of the fact that an internal
machine was cent to Chancellor Won
Caprivi, and, consequently, it is be-
lieyed that the fact that an internal ma
chine was sent to him as we'll as the
chancellor has not been communicated
to the emperor
The French government has prom
ised the utmost assistance in tracing
the criminals concerned in sending the
internal machines to Chancellor Won
Caprivi and the emperor of Germany.
An experienced political detective,
Hontausch, is investigating the case,
but up to the time the dispatch was
sent no clues have yet been found lead
ing to the identity Of the criminals. As
IN the case OF the internal machine sent
TO Emperor William the concealed ex-
plosiYe sent to the chancellor was &C.
companied by letter written in free,
bold hand and covering page and an
eighth. Tho latter was addressed:
Monsieur Le General De Caprivi, Grand
Chancellor D'Allemsgne, Berlin"
From the postmarEs it was judged
that both internal machines and both
letters came from the town or Orleans,
in France, and the police Of that place
are in active communication with the
authorities OF this city aud are doing
their utmost to discover the the lden-
tity Of the person or persons who tor-
warded the dangerous packages to ber-
lin. Chancellor Won Caprivfs Internal
machine, when opened by gun maker,
proved to be similar to the one which
was exploded at Spandau last summer.
The letter which accompanied the
internal machine which was sent to
Chancellor Won Caprivi, read as tol-
lows:
'I have the honor to forward you
aamples OF an astonishing kind OF rad
ish seed which is usually sown in De-
cembar and gathered in February.
This kind is not affected by frost. Re-
ceive, cir, the assurance OF my perfect
consideration.
(Signed) &c. DEcHANTEU,
'l7 Rue Boutlongr Orleans."
The letter sent to Empoaor William
with the internal machine intended for
him has the same contents az tho one
addressed to Chancellor Won Caprivi.
1t has been ascertained that the address
given by De Chanteau is false.
The supposition that the sending OF
the Internal machine was the work OF
crank is now abandoned, and it Is be-
lieyed that the attempts upon the life
OF the emperor and Chancellor Caprivi
were due to Chauvenists, who are dis
appointed at the slow working OF the
Franco-Russian entente, and who de-
cided to take revenge in their own
hands.
The finding Of the two internal ma
chimes mas caused but little excitement
in Berlin, as it is we'll known that the
emperor and the chancellor never open
boxes or other articles that may be
scat TO them, that task falling upon
others who are always on the lookout
for presents similar TO the ones recently
sent to the emperor and to the chan
rellor
