ANNIHILATION OF ANARCHY.
The Attitude Of Germany Toward the
New Laws Uncertain.

Not Entirely Satisfactory to the
Germans-The Emperor Determined
to Saueleh All Further Talk of the
Won Kotzs Soandal-The Tariff War
With Spain on in Full Force.
Berlin, July 15.-Emperor William will
sail from Bergen, Norway, on July 20,
and will arrive on Aug. l in Wilhems
Haven, whore he will be met by Chan
cellor Won Caprivi. After two days
rest in Potsdam he viii start for the Isle
of Wight.
During the emperor's three days on
German. soil all important questions of
domestic politics ROW awaiting settle
ment will be submitted TO him. A pecu-
liar feature of the present trip has been
the suspension of most government bust
ness in Berlin. Heretofore he has
dictated and answered daily numerous
notes and state papers sent out by tele-
graph from the ministerial offices. This
year the ministers have sent the usual
communications, but they have got only
meager replies-often none at all. It is
therefore quite uncertain what the en-
peror thinks of DIR. Miguels propositions
for the repression Of socialism or anarch-
ism, or revised plans for the taxation of
alcohol and tobacco Whether he will
support the chancellor in his opposition
to special repressive laws or will go over
to the reactionists of the Bism arckian
school, is IN complete doubt.
Won oAPRIvI AND THE ANARCHISTS.
In official circles there is a well-authen-
ticated report that the emperor, when
bidding the chancellor good-bY in kiel,
requested him to study carefully the
question of repressive legislation against
the reyOlutionists and formulate his
opinion on the subject. So far nothing
indicates that the chancellor has joined
the reaction. The newspapers which he
is supposed to inspire still oppose all
plans of reviving special laws against
socialists or anarchists The exchange of
views between Berlin, Vienna, Paris and
Rome has resulted in a common agree
ment to enforce the system of surveillance
recommended by Chancellor von Caprivi.
The corner stone of this system is the
harmonious cooperation of the police
forces in all four capitals. The most ef-
fective part of the agreement, as far as
Germany is concerned, provides that the
anarchists who seek refuge in Germany,
ana whose presence is known TO the au-
thorities, shall be placed at once at the
disposal Of his government. In case of
eEpulsi0ns, the police OF every country in
the agreement shall be warned at once so
that the exile may be shadowed wherever
he goes 1t is understood that the Brus-
sells and st. Petersburg governments will
cooperate with the other four in this
agreement
ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.
Count Halzfeldt. the German ambassa-
dor at London, will come here tomorrow
TO confer with Chancellor Won Caprivi as
to England's attitude as to the agree
ment. He has the assurances of Lord
Roseberry that England will help the
continental powers in the fight against
the anarchists, although not in a position
to enforce the provisions as To eXpulsions.
The Nord Deutsche Algemieine Zeitung
holds that the international police meas
ures in question will meet the present
emergency. No international code nor
extraordinary domestic situation, it says,
Will be now necessary. The Hamburger
Nachrichten denounces Great Britain's 8
pretensions of worldwide hospitality.
This is mere pharisaism," 4" it says. Eng
land shelters the worst ruffians, who are
ready to prey upon all her neigh bors, and
makes no objection as long as she herself
sustains no injury"
The Reichsbole and the Post distinguish
themselves from other journals by oppos-
ing the demands for an internal league
and drastic laws against the revolution
lists.
In the liberal and radical press the
chancellor is commended for his hostility
to exceptional legislation
A PLEA FOR Won KoTzE.
The empress received last week letter
from Lebecht Won Kotze's wife. who APP
pealed for an audience that she might
present her husbands defence. The en-
press made no reply. The emperor is
determined to squclch the scandal wholly
for the present and as far as the
public is concerned, forever. That Kotze
has offered large reward for
proof against the anonymous letter
writer, is absurd. The culprit is known
at court. Probably the emperor only
awaits the right time TO punish him with
out attracting attention Privy Council
lor BrueggeMann, who conducted the ex-
animation received two DAYS ago an
anonymous letter which offered proof that
a certain prince at the Berlin court wrote
the offensive letters. The princes friends
say that the writer lies, as the prince was
travelling in Asia when the first Of the
letters were sent.
PROSECUTION or NEWSPAPERS.
The supreme court in Leipsic has re-
versed by a new decision the principle Of
the judicial autonomy of the states in
naLulnB press OUCbCeS. newspapers are
held to be liable TO prosecution not only
in. the place of publication but wherever
they circulate in the empire. The prose-
cutor, moreover, may choose the place of
trial to suit himself. This decision has
aroused the states rights of people, and
the editors of all parties are making
stormy protests, which will be repeated
as soon as the Reichstag meets.
TARIFF WAR WITH SPAIN.
In consequence Of the tariff war with
Spain, all Spanish goods imported into
Germany are dutiable At 80 per cent. in
addition TO the regular tariff. This closes
Germany absolutely TO large part of the
Cuban tobacco trade. The importation of
many Spanish products has been cut OFF
entirely. The war was thrust upon
Germany. The chancellor complied with
the majority Of SPANS demands and
made concession after concession until il
became evident that nothing within the
range Of possibility would satisfy the
Madrid protectionists.
The Vossiche Zeitung says that the
government is TO be commended for break
ing off commercial relations with a coun-
try living, as does Spain, in trade hostility

she must accept more unfayorable condi-
