BERLIN, March 24.-Emperor Will
liam's high-hying Intentions do not
stop at the success achieved by tbs
Russo German commercial treaty. He
has recognized that the unbounded re-
sources of America constitute a stand
ing menace to European trade and in
dustry; and although he has the great
est sympathy for America and Amer
leans, the emperor is also awake to the
danger of competition OF such blow as
that inflicted by the Mckinley policy.
His idea is that Europe must be
prepared to take a common stand
against America. The well-k nown am
bition of the emperor to bring about
friendly commercial relations between
the European nations showed itself
years ago, and in the calling of the in
ternational congress in the interest OF
the better protection of workman. His
many travels enable him to look upon
such matters with an eye which does
not halt at the borders Of Germany. The
movement spoken OF, though still in
embryo, may be expected when events
necessitate it. This ia now held to be
the idea indicated by Chancellor Won
Caprivi.
The so-called MIGUEL intrigue ia still
canvaesed in the Conservative press
where the doctors prospects and fitness
tor the chancellorship are openly dis
cussed. The intrigue is. fomented by
disappointed place hunters and from
the fact that DR.. MIGUEL has utterly
failed to gain the support ol the Gen.
ter party, which has many grievances
against him and which distruats the
effect which his promotion might have
on Germany'e prestige abroad. There
is no need to fear Caprivi's position is
in the least ahaken.
The frequency with which Emperor
! William has anddenly and unexpectediy
| called the garrison OF Berlin under
arms has generally been regarded as
evidence of more caprice upon his part :;
! but it is now becoming generally ac-
cepted as being part OF a we'll l-de6ned
scheme from other dissatisfied elements
OF the population. In this connection
it lie remembered the emperor turned
out the garrison on election day, May
day, AMI lastly on the day following
the Socialists celebration of the anni-
versary OF the revolution of 1848.
Since the conclusion of the Russo
German commercial treaty, Count Won
Eulenburg has returned to his duties as
Prussian minister st Munich, after q
short sojourn here, which led to the re-
port that he had been summoned to at
tend the emperor on the latter's visit to
Abbazia. 1t is now learned the counts
visit to this city was connected with his
pending appointment to succeed Prince
Reuss as ambassador. DR.. Thielmann,
negotistor of the Russo German treaty,
will succeed Won Eulenburg.
The Cologne Gazette says it Ia author
lied to state Herr Bennington, leader OF
the National Liberals, does not intend
to retire from active political work upon
completing his seventieth year.
The very representative suite which
Emperor William has taken with him to
AbbazlR seemd to indicate that import
ant political matters may srise during
his sojourn. The suite includes the
military and naval secretaries. a high
official of the foreign Office and physi.
| clan.
Emperor William is not expected to
return from Abbazia until towards the
end of April, when he will reside at the
new palace at Potsdsm. Emperor Will
