BERLIN, Sept. 8.-Emperor Williams
speech at Kosnigsburg. Thursday night,
at the close of military mansuvers about
South Altenbsrg, is, OF course, the sem
sation Of the hour. The emperor 10 fond
of taking all classes OF subjects to task
when they diverge from him In opinion.
But no class has received such rebukes
"a his rebellious mobiles, and his rebuko
waa scarcely rendered moro palatabls by
the solace afterwards administered
when his forgiving hand was proffered
and the nobility was urged, as the
faithful stey OF the realm, to join him
in steady process of repression against
all parties of disorder. There was the
same ring in the autocratic emperor's
lost words as WAS heard upon pre-
vious occasions, and, when viewed in
the light of acts and results. there Ia
nothing in them that can lead to any
marked political action. Tbs commer.
csl treaty policy CT the emperor has
been more than justified, notably by
the revival Of trade with Russia, az
shown within tho last few days by
official figures and by the transiorma-
tion OF the estimated deficit in the
budget into q surplus for the ensuing
year.
The emperor. in recognition OF their
loyalty to the throne and country, is to
confer upon the noble Prussian families
of Won Auerswald. Duenhoff, Dohne,
Gutenberg and Lehndorpf, the honor of
naming the Koenigsburg forts after each
OF them.
MILITARY MANEUvERS.
The military maneuvera about Koen-
igBburg have shown that the troops
have been trained to a state Of great
efficiency. The emperor seemed to de-
light In speciallys hensring the kings Of
Wurtemburg and Saxony by every
means in his power. Nearly all the
foreign military attended the gala din
Rer ON Wednesday,.
The next important event on the
royal programme is the naval parade,
which takes place next week at SWINE
bunde, not far from Stettin. The
parade of warships will be followed by
an elaborate series Of naval evolutions
in the open waters in the Baltic. The
deet will consist OF II large ships and
AZ emaller vessels.
REPRESSION OF ANARCHY.
During the week the emperor had q
conference with Count Won Gutenberg,
tho Pruseian premier and minister of
the interior, which lasted several hours.
Upon that occasion bis majesty sane
toned Won Eulen berg's bill reverting
the right Of public asssmblage and re-
stricting the rights OF the Pruasian
press. The premier pointed out that
with the present reichstag the reprees-
i've measures advocated in the bill
could not pass through that Assem- blags,
but something was urgently needed in
Prussia and the east to prevent the
spread Of anarchy and socialism.
DIPHTHERIA CURE.
The diphtheria cure of DR.. Behring OF
Berlin, disciple of Prof. Koch, has been
exploited at the Buda- Pesth medical
congress and endorsed by many OF the
delegates present. DR.. Behring's cure is
called blood serum. By successive
cure is injected into animals and they
have gradually acquired immunity
against the malady. The blood of such
animals, njscted into other animals,
has the effect of conferring immunity
upon the latter, or healing them il SUI
fsripg from diphtheyiN. OF this blood
DR.. Behring extracted the serum, and
has injected it into human beings with
wonderful results.
Professor Heubner OF Berlin and Pro-
fessor Roux of Paris endorsed the cure
At the congresB. Professor Rcux said he
had applied it at the children's hos.
pital in many cases. Up to last year so
per cent OF the caees of diphtheria ended
fatally. This year he has inoculated
over 400 children with the serum, and
the mortality decreased from 60 to rs
per cent. After a few injections the
malady changed almost instantly to
fever and then soon disappeared.
cHoLERA's PROGRESS.
Cholera is making. progress. 1t is
true that the last official reports show
only 53 new cases and 81 deaths, but the
danger lies in further spread, not only
in the provinces of East and West
Prussia, but in Silesis, Posen and
Hesas. Nassau is now affected, and az
Breslsu there ie large number of sus.
poets. The whole of the frontier of
Pesen, adjoining Russia, is closed ex-
cept at five points, whers all incomers
