Rxm4S. Sept. S-Emperor Williams
speech at kcenigsbaFg on Thursday night
st the close Of the military msneavers
about South AltenberE is, OF course. the
sensation Of the hour. The emperor Is
fond Of taking al classes Of subjects 10 task
when they divsrge from him in opinion.
bat no class has received such rehukes as
his rebellious nobles. and his rebnke was
scarcely rendered more paiatable by the
solaee afIsrward administered. when his
torgiving hand vas prof cred and the
nobility was urged. as the faithful stay Of
the realm, 20 join him in steady process
of repression against all parties OF disorder.
There Mas the same ring in the ansocratic
emperor's last words as was heard upon
previous occasions, and when viewed IN
the light Of acts and results there is moth
Ing in them that can lead TO any marked
political action.
The commercial trade policy OF the en-
peror has been more than justified. nota-
bly, BY the revival of trade with Russia. a.
shown within the last few days by official
figures and by the transformation Of the
estimated deficit in the budget into n sur
Plus for the ensuing fiscal year.
The emperor, in recognition OF their 10y
atty 10 the throne and country. is TO confer
upon the noble Prussian families Of Won
Auerswald. Dnenhoii. Dohne, Gutenberg
aad Lehndorif the honor of naming the
koenigshnrg forts after each of them.
The diphthsria cure of Dr. Behring. OF
Berlin. disciple OF Prof Koch, has oeen
exploited at the Buda Pesth medical con-
gress and Endorsed by many Of the dele
gates present DIR. Behring's cure is
called . blood serum. By successive
and increased doses the diphthsria
cure Is injected into animals, and they
gradually acquired immunity against the
malady. The blood Of such animals. in
jected into other animals. has the effect of
conferring immunity upon the lstier, or
| healing them il suffering from diphtheria.
OF this blood DIR. Behring extracted the
serum. and has injected it into human be-
ings with wonderful results. Prof. Hsub-
ner. of Berlin. and Prof Roux, OF Paris.
Endorsed the cure at the congress. Prof.
Roax said he had applied IL in cases at the
chiidren's hospital. Up to last year 90
cent. of the cases of that disease ended
| fatally. This year he has inoculated over
800 children with the serum, and the NOR
tality fell from so to 10 per cent. Alter a
| few injections the maiady changed almost
instantly TO fever and soon disappeared.
The military maneuvers about Koenigs-
burg have shown that the troops have
been trained to q state of the greatest eff
cheney. The emperor seemed 10 delight in
specially honoring the kings OF Wurtsm-
burg and Saxony by every means in his
power. Nearly all the foreign military
attaches attended the gala dinner on
Wednesday. Among them was Lieut..
Evans. the United States military attaohe
here. with whom Emperor William ex-
changed few pleasant words.
The next important event on the impe-
rial programme is the naval parade, which
| Is to take place next week in Swinebund,
not far from Siettin. The parade of war
ships will be followed by an elaborate
series OF naval evolutlons in the open
waters OF the Baltic sea. The fleet will
consist Of seventeen large ships aud forty
two small vessels.
During the week the emperor lad con-
ference with Count Eulenburg. the Prus-
sian premier and minister OF the interior,
which lasted several hours. Upon that
l occasion his majesty sanctioned Eulen-
berg's bill restricting the right OF public
assemblage, and also restricting the rights
1 Of the Prussian press. The premier
pointed out that with the present reichs-
tag the repEessivs measure advocated in
the bill could not pass through that as
semblage. bat something was urgently
needed in Prussia and the east 10 pre-
vent the spread OF anarchy and socialism.
Cholera Is making progress. Ii IL true

! tifty-three new cases aad thlrty-one

spread noe only in the provinces of East
and West Prussia. bat In Silesia. Posen
