BERLIN, Sept. 29.-Emperor William
is taking the most lively interest in the
Corean war. Daily reports of all the
war news are submitted to his majesty,
and by the aid Of the best maps and
charts procurable he carefully traces the
progress OF the operations OF the COM
batants. The emperor studies every
movement in its most minute detail.
paying particular attention to the naval
engagements, as furnishing the first test
on large scale that the use OF monster
ironolads can be put to.
THE POLISH QUESTION.
The movement in favor Of the re-estab-
lishment of the Polish kingdom has
gathered great strength within the past
four years. The Lemberg exposition has
shown that plainly. and . number of
significant incidents must be similarly
construed. During the recent Kosciusko
anniversary public speeches were made
in the Polish districts of Prussia, incit-
bsllion. A wealthy and influential
Polish magnete, owner of vast estate
near Bronsberg, Posen, made use of the
following expression in addressing his
guests:
"You have no king at present, and in
the absence OF one you must look upon
your archbishop ss the head of our ma
tion. The time will come whom you, as
OF old, will again seize the sickle, the
scythe and the fail to defend the rights
of your nationality"
POLISH oUTRAGEs.
Attacks and numerous assaults COM
mitted by crowds OF Polish peasants
upon German sxcuraionists and German
travellers are once more becoming alarm
ingly frequent. The pupils of German
protestant school at Posen, while on an
outing with their teachers, but q few
hours distant from this cipy, were as
saulted and eeme OF the children were
dangerously wounded by number OF

whole opposition press as SO many
proofs OF the futility of the Caprivi sys-
tenn OF conciliation. A high Prussian
official, who is in these things the right
hand OF Caprivi, informs the correspond
ent OF the Associated Press that severe
repressive measures are heneeforth to
be adopted against the perpetrators OF
such outrages.
ANARCHIST LITERATURE.
The anarchiatic literature distributed
in Marienburg, during the emperor's
recent visit to that west Prussisn city,
on the occasion OF the maneuvers of the
First and Seventeenth army corps, was
of highly infammatory character, di.
rectly inciting to rsgicide and approving
of the assassination of the late President
Carnot. An immediate investigation was
ordered and a number OF the shrewdest
detectives we're there from Berlin. It
has been impossible thus far to detect
the guilty parties. bus it is known
private soldier of the Soveteenth army
corps, a Pole named Powlaski, was i'm
plicated in this latest anarohistio plot.
The emperor therefore ordered the
immediate arrest of all the private
soldiers of that name, and in all 16 men
were taken into custody. They are now
in close confinement, while the investi-
CATION is still going on. However, in
spite OF socislistic, anarchistic and
Polish agitation, there is NO doubt that
shown that Won Caprivi still |
possesses the emperor's complete conf
dence.
At Posen, since the emperor's speech
at Thorne, an appeal has been issued by
the leading German citizens and by the |
owners OF the large estates for the forma-
tion of central society for the protec-
tion OF German interents in the prov>
ince.
A NEW RAILROAD.
Direct connection by rail between the
cities OF the lower Weser, below Bremen,
and Berlin. will be established during
the next two years. Geestemund. op-
posite Bremerhaven, is to be most bene-
tited thereby. The new road is to be
40 miles long and then to connect with
the existing trunk lines. Geestemund
lies in Prussisn territory belonging to
Hanover, and that is why the Prussian
will gladly do what it can to
Iurther the shipping interests at this
port, which ia becoming annually more
and more of rival to Brsmerhaven.
Besides, direct Communication by the
new line will shorten the distance be-
sween Berlin and the North ses by 80
miles.
PETTY TYRANT KILLED.
One of those crimes whose authorship
9 hardly ever traced, and which usually
inds victims in such army officers as
lsve incurred the hatred OF their sub
,rdinates, occurred during the brigade
naneuver near Erlbach. A Bavarian
,aptain, Won Kreesz. of the Sixth Ba-
7afian infantry, was shot dead by bull.
