BERLIN, March 24-Emperor Williams
high-fying intentions do not stop at the sue.
cess achieved by the Russo-German CONNER
cial treaty. He recognized that unbounded
resources of America constitute a standing
menace to European trade and industry, and
although he has the greatest sympathy for
America and Americans, the Emperor is also
awake to the danger of the repetition Of such
blow as that inflicted by the Mckinley pol
icy. His idea is that Europe must be pre-
pared to take common stand against any
commercial measure which directs itself not
against any individual nation in Europe, but
against all Europe. The well-known am
bition Of the Emperor to bring about a
friendly common relation between the Euro
pean nations showed itself years ago by the
calling of an international congress in the
interest Of the better protection of workmen.
His many travels enabled 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 neces-
state it. This is now held to be the idea un-
derlyinS Chancellor Won Caprivi's Dantzic
speech.
The so-called Miguel intrigue is still can
vassed in the conservative press. where the
doctors prospects and fitness for the chan
cellorship are openly discussed. The intrigue
is fomented by disappointed place hunters
and from the fact alone that DIR. Mfauel
has utterly failed to gain the support of the
Center party, which has many grievances
against him, and which distrusts the effect
which his promotion might have upon
Germany's prestige abroad. There is no
need to think that Chancellor Won Caprivi's
position is in the least shaken.
The frequency with which Emperor William
has suddenly and Unexpectedly called the gar
rison of Berlin under arms has generally been
regarded as evidence of mere caprice upon
his part, but it is now becoming generally ac-
cepted as being part of well-defined scheme
OF the Emperor to overawe the lawlesS classes.
such as the socialists and anarchists and
other dissatisfied elements of the population
In this connection il is now remembered
that the Emberor suddenly turned out the
garrison OF this city on election day, then on
May day. and lastly on the day following the
socialist celebration Of the anniversary Of the
revolution OF 1s4S.
The Hamburg Nachrichten maintains the
accuracy Of the statement already denied
that arrangements are being made for a Sum-
mer or Autumn meeting between Emperor
William and the Gar, and in spite OF the
official denial, the meeting of the two En-
perors is generally regarded as probable
Since the conclusion OF the Russo-German
commercial treaty Count Won Gutenberg has
returned to his duties as Prussian minister at
Munich, after short sojourn here which
led to the report that he had been summoned
to attend the Emperor on the latters visit to
Abbazia. 1t is now learned that the counts
visit to this city was connected with his i'm
pending appointment TO succeed Prince Reuss
as German ambassador at Vienna. the most
important post in the diplomatic service of
Germany. Count Won Gutenberg is a brother
OF the Prussian premier, and seems likely to
prove a successful ambassador. Dr. Thiel-
mann. the negotiator of the Russo German
commercial treaty. will succeed Count Won
Gutenberg as Prussian minister at Munich.
The Cologne Gazette says it is authorized
to state that Herr Penigsen. leader of the Ma
tional Liberals. does not intend to retire from
political work upon completing his 10th year.
The very representative suite which En-
peror William has taken with him to Abbazia
seems to indicate that he anticipates very i'm
portant political matters to arise during his
sojourn at the seaside. The suite includes
the headquarters commandant, the military
and naval secretaries, high official OF the
foreign office. and physician, DR.. Leuthold.
Emperor William is not expected to return
from Abbazia until the end of April when he
will reside at the new palace at Potsdam.
He has definitely decided to have canal
cut from the Havel. close to the New Palace
to an arm of the same river flowing past the
villa Ingenheim, recently purchased for the
crown prince. The grounds of the villa will
be enlarged by the purchase of land and sta
tion will be established there for the Emperors
yachts.
Chancellor Won Caprivi will postpone his
visit to Carlsbad until Emperor Williams re-
turn from Abbazla- The Empress and the i'm
perial children, after leaving Abbazia, will
proceed to the charming palace OF Wilhelms
hohe, near Cassell, and from there the impe-
Rugen, in the Baltic, in order TO enjoy sea
bathing
Emperor Francis Joseph will arrive at Alb
bazia next week. and will accompany En-
peror William upon several of the latter's
contemplated sea trips. Emperor William
will meet Emperor Francis Joseph on board
the yacht Christabel at Fiume
The courts have authorized Feriba. Emin
Pasha's daughter by an Abyssinian woman,
to assume the name of Emin as family

property left by Emin Pasha.
