BERLIN, Sept. 22-Once more has a
pubic announcement of Emperor William
created deep impression throughout the
empire. This time it is his emphatic re-
iteration of his koenigsburg utterance
addressed to the Prussian mobiles and
others. His majesty evidently desires that
the people should not be mistaken to
lie attitude he has assumed toward those
who have opposed him. Consequently, as
already cabled, in replying 10 the speech
OF welcome of the Bnrgomaster of Thorn.
West Prussia, today the emperor
said he was rejoiced that Thorn
had always retained the,Germsn spirit He
had, however, unfortunately found that the
conduct of their Polish fellow citizens had
not been such as he desired and be, the
emperor, wished all TO remember his
words-to fight against the parties of revo-
luton. Only those who fully aud COM
pletely considered themselves German
subjects could hope for his royal favor.
Emperor William concluded by saying:
NONE BUT GERMANS NEED APPLY.
Let us stand firm against all hostile
schemes. Ny subjects must stand firm at

mind, bid you Leb Wohl."
His majesty's remarks are also inter
preted, as an expression of renewed con-
fidence in Chancellor Won Caprivi in his
fight against the agrarians-
The emperor aud the chancellor are
both alarmed at the many recent signs of
Polish agitation and determination such
as the reception afforded to the Posen
guests at the exposition held at Lom berg,
Austrian Galicia. Among them were
many of the leading politicians Of the
Polish faction in both the reichstag and
the diet. These, guests were warmly re-
ceived by their Gslician brethren.
Il is noticed AS a curious fact that the
American Poles especially those from
Chicago and the west. are playing con-
spicuous part at the Lomberg exposition :
The ST. Petersburg Novoe Vremya in an
article Just published mentions that 2, 000.-
eco Poles in America and Russia have of
fered to furnish 10000 men armed. drilled
and equipped together with ample funds,
at any time a new Polish instruction
should break out.
TEUTONS ALSO AGAINST IMMIGRATION.
The chief legislative proposals of the
coming session of the reichstag will be
bills for the taxation of tobacco. au
amendment to the Insurance laws and bills
dealing with unfair competition, the regu-
la,i"n of emigration and An am ndmeut to
the penal procedure of the courts OF the

Tne radicals assert that the chancellor,
Won Caprivi also intends TO introduce
measures To restrict the liberty OF the
press and public meetings and to combat
ruarchism. The decision in this MATTER
However. is left for ca binet discussion.
THo tlorentine nobleman named Di-
ga-ifl. claiming to be- direct descendants
of h- Italian branch of the Guelph family
have applied TO the emperor, through the
Italian embassy. requesting that the
Guelph fund. now amounting 10 Sl5, 600
be h led over TO them the only legi-
innate heirs.
LIFE INSURANCE TROUBLES.
Prince Herman Won Trachr berg has
b en- appointed governor of Silesia. The
mat; er of the American life insurance
companies, doing business In Prussia
being so seriously affected by the new law
requiring annually definite Information
on oath as to the dividends and surplus
accumulated for the benefit of those in
sured under the Tontine plan seems now
about definitely settled. American COM
psDies are able to conform wi h the rig
orous requirements of the new Prussian
law and they, therefore, will continue 10
solicit as much new business as
they can. Tie Germania IS the only
American company in whose business the
PruSsian contingent plnys vital part.
The Equitable OF New York has definitely
retired from the field far as obtaining
lew Insurance Is concerned, and the
enormous and very costly building owned
by that company in Berlin. (the only
structure i'll this city entirely built on
American principles and which cost

me is the case OF the New York Life,
which has also definitely retired from
Prussian business.
