BERLIN, March 24-Emperor Williams
high-hying intentions DO not stop at the
success achieved by the Russo-German
Commercial treaty. He recognizes that
the unhounded resources OF America con-
stitute 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 to competition of such blow
rs that inflicted by the Mckinley policy.
The we'll known ambition Of the emperor
to bring about friendly commercial rela-
tions between European nations showed
itself years ago and in the calling OF an in
ternational congress in the interest OF
better protection for workmen. HIS many
travels have enabled him to look upon
such matters with an eve which does not
halt At the borders of Germany. The
movement spoken of. though still in EN-
bryo. may be expected when events ncces-
state it. This Is now held to be the idea
Indicated by Chancellor Won Caprivi.
The so-called MIGUEL intrigue IS still
canvassed in the conservative press.
where the doctors prospects and fitness
for the chancelIorship are openly dis
cussed. The intrigue is fomented by dis
appointed place hunters, but from the fact
that DIR. MIGUEL 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 on Germany's prestige abroad.
there is no need to fear that Caprivi's po-
stion is in the least shaken.
The frequency with which Emperor
William has suddenly and Unexpectedly

has generally been regarded az evidence of
mere caprice upon his part; but it is now
becoming generally accepted as part of
well-deiined scheme OF the emperor to over
awe the socialists, anarchists and other
dissatisfied elements of the population.
In this connection 1t is remembered that
the emperor turned out the garrison on
election day, Maydsy and lastly on the
day following the socialists celebration
Of the anniversary of the revolution of 1s4S.
Since the conclusion of the Russo-Ger-
man commercial treaty. Count Won Eulen-
berg 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 latter's visit to Abazzia. 1t is now
learned that the counts visit to this city
was connected with his impending APP
pointment to succeed Prince Reuss as am-
bassador. DR.. Thielmann. the ne:otiator
of the RussoGerman commercial treaty,
will succeed Won Gutenberg.
The Cologne Gazette says ii is authorised
to state that Herr Bennings. leader of the
national liberals, does not intend to re-
tire from active political work upon COM
plotting his 10Th year.
The very representative suite which EN-.
peror William has taken with him to
AbazZia seems to indicate that important
political matters may arise during his So
journ. The suite includes the military
and naval secretaries, high official Of the
foreign Office and physician. Emperor
William is not expected TO return from
Abazzia until toward the end of
April, when ne will reside at
the new palace at Potsdam. Em-
peror William has recently decided to
have a canal cut from Havei. close to the
new palace, to an arm Of the same river
flowing past the villa of Ingiehe.m, re-
Gently erected for the crown prince. This
villa will be enlarged by the purchase of
adjoining lands. Caprivi will postpone
his visit to Carlsbad until Emperor Will
Jams return. The empress and three
children after leaving Abazzia will proceed
to the palace OF Wiihelmshoe and from
there the imperial family will proceed to
the island of Bugien. in the Baltic. in Or
der to enjoy sea bathing.
Emperor Francis Joseph will arrive at
Abazz next week and will accompany
Emperor William upon several OF the lat
ser's contemplated sea trips. Emperor
William will meet Emperor Francis
Joseph on board this zach. Christaoel at
Eiume.
