Williams speech at Koenigsburg, on
Thursday night, at the close of the mil
Iitary maneuyers about South Alien
berg, is, of course, the sensation of the
hour. The emperor is fond of taking
all classes of his subjects to task when
they diverge from him in opinion. But
no class has received such rebukes as
his rebellious mobiles, and his rebuke
was scarcely rendered more palatable
by the soiace afterwards administered
when his forgiving hand was preferred
and the nobility was urged, as the
faithful stay of the realm, to join him
in steady process of repression
against all parties Of disorder. There
was the same ring in the autocratic
emperor's last words as was heard up
on previous occasions, and when viewed
in the light of acts and results, there
is nothing in them that can lead to
any marked political action. The COM
mercial treaty policy of the emperor
has been more than justified, notably
iby the revival Of trade with Russia, as
shown within the last few days by off
cial figures, and by the Transformation
| of the estimated deficit in the budget
Into a surplus for the ensuing fiscal
year.
| The emperor, in recognition of their
loyalty to the throne and country is to
confer upon the noble Prussian famil-
les of Won Auerswald, Duenhoff, Johne,
Lohndorff, the honor of naming the
Koenigsburg forts after each of them.
Cure For Diphtheria.
The diphtheria cure of DIR. Behring,
Iof Berlin, a disciple of Professor Koch,
has been exploited at the Buda Pesth
Medical congress and endorsed by many
of the delegates present. DR.. Behring' s
cure is called a blood serum. By sue
lcessive and increased doses the diph-
liberia cure is elected into animals and
they have gradually acquired immunity
against the malady. The blood of such
animals injected into other animals has
the effect of comforting immunity upon
the latter or healing them if suffering
from diphtheria. OF this blood, DIR.
lBehring extracted the serum, and has
injected it into human beings with
wonderful results. Professor Heubner
Iof Berlin, and Professor Roux, of Paris,
endorsed the cure at the congress. Pro
fessor Roux said he had applied it at
the children's hospital in many cases
Up to last year, go per cent. of the
eases of diphtheria ended fatally This
lyear he had inoculated over 400 child
Iren with the serum, and the mortality
fell from 60 to Is per cent. After a few
injections, the malady changed almost
instantly to fever and then soon disap-
Ipeared.
Well Trained Troops.
The military maneuvers about Koen-
igsburg have shown that the troops
have been trained to state of the
greatest efficiency. The emperor
seemed to delight in specially honorlng
the Kingston, Wurtemburg and Saxony
by every means in his power Nearly
all the foreign military attaches at
tended the gala dinner on Wednesday
: Among them was Lieutenant Evans
United States military attache here
with whom Emperor William exchang
ed a few pleasant words.
