operations of the combatants The
emperor studies each movement in its
most minute detail, paying particular
attention to the naval enga gements as
furnishing the first tests on a large
scale that the use of monster iron
iclads can be put to.
The Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna,
publishes an interview with Baron
Daublesl1y Won Stereck Won Ehren-
lstein, the commander of the Austrian
navy. in which the admiral is quoted
as saying that ne thought the success
OF the japanese was due to the super
Tor education of their officers, obtained
in Europe, their better discipline and
their better knowledge of the workings
OF the modern wea pons. The admiral
adds that the great lesson of The naval
battle off the mouth of the Yalu river
was, that armed cruisers were well
able to hold their own against IN
weildly battleships, and, in his cpln-
ion, if the naval powers were well ad-
Vlsed, they would pay more attention
in the future to armored cruisers than
to costly men-of-war.
To Repress Socialists.
The meeting of the Prussian cab
met on Tuesday led to a revival of
the rumors of ministerial dissension.
Premier. Count Botho Bulenburg is
credited with readiness to ADOPT re-
pressive measures against the social
lists and Poles, and the Prussian cab
met is said to support him, in spite of
the rumors referred to in regard to
their particular difference If it really
exists it is not in regard to that partic-
ular question.
Emperor Williams speech al Thome
last Saturday is now known to have
been impromptu. 1t continues to be
canvassed holly and is held by the OPP
ponents of Chancellor Won Caprivi to
indicate that the emperor shares the
Prussian premiers views in regard to
the Poles. especially as the Imperial
Gazette omitted to publish the text of
the speech.
Won Caprivi is now residing at Bran
denburg, and no decision regarding the
policy to be followed in regard to Po-
land is likely to be arrived at before
he returns to this city. The enemies of
the chancellor are doing their utmost
to make an impression upon the public
in regard to Poland before the Reich
stag reassembles, and they also count
upon his known WEAKNESS of intrigues
in the political arena and his prefer
ence for the more simple life to a SOL
der, to induce him to retire from pol
itics.
Special Interest.
The Polish question is becoming more
and more of special interest to the Ger
man government, and this fall and
during the coming winter number of
measures are to be instituted to stop
the rising tide of Polish nationalism.
1t IS well known Chancellor Won
Caprivi has adhered, since his accession
to power. to the exact opposite course
in dealing with the Poles of the pro-
vinces of Posen, West Prussia and up
per Silesia, to that which Bismarck fol-
lowed during his long regime. Instead
of severe repression, conciliatory
policy was inaugurated by Caprivi. OF
late. though. it has become apparent
that this policy, if further persisted in,
will lead to serious complications.
The movement in favor of the re-
establishment of Polish kingdom has
gathered great strength within the past
four years. The Limberg exposition has
shown that plainly, and a number of
significant incidents must be similarly
construed. During the recent Kosious-
ko anniversary, public speeches We're

wealthy and influential Polish magnate
owner of a. vast estate near Bronsberg
Posen, made use of the following ex-
preston in addressing his guests:

the absence of one you must look upon
your archbishop as the head of our ma
ton. The time will come when you,
as of old, will again seize the sickle

rights Of your nationality"

Attacks and numerous assaults COM

upon German excursionists and Ger
man travellers are once more coming
in alarmingly frequent. The pupils Of a
German Protestant school at Posen,
while on an outing with their teachers
but few hours distant from this city
were assaulted and some of the child

number of Polish fanatics.
