Berlin, Oct. 19.-The enthusiasm which
has been aroused in Alsace-Lorraine by
the presence there, during the past
week. of the emperor and empress Of
Germany, has pleased his majesty
greatly. At Chateau Urville, for in
stance, while the throng of people out
side was thickly lining all approaches
TO the castle and cheering vociferously,
the emperor remarked TO General Won
Hanake: This looks indeed as if this
has become once more German soil"
The emperor's manner throughout
was pleasant and urbane in the extreme
and the kind words which the empress
! addressed to the deputation of the Ia
dies from Metz seemed to make deep
impression upon them.
While going over the battlefields
around Metz. his majesty required no
explanation, having studied the ground
thoroughly so as to be familiar with
the villages, farms and hills dotting
the country. remarking: That is
many men," etc.
The fact that not a single member of
the Bavarian royal house was invited
to the fetes at Woerth was much COM
mented upon, especially as the late
emperor Frederick personally COM
manded the Bavarian troops during the
war and the latter shared largely in
the triumph of the German arms at the
! battle Of Woerth. The official press
furnishes no satisfactory explanation
/ of the fact.
PEACE ADVERTISED.
| Politically, the chief event Of the
week has been the visit of Prince Lo-
! banoff-Rostovsky to Hubertstock, EN-
peror Williams shooting box, which is
held to be fact of prime Importance.
Commenting on this visit, well-in-
formed foreign officer officially said to
/ a representative of the Associated
! Press:
This visit is much more than one
Of courtesy. 1t is intended to show to
/ France and the rest of Europe that the
new rulers of Russia mean to entertain
friendly relations with Germany. Count
Lobanoff-RoStovsky left Germany with
the conviction that this country's pol-
icy is an outspoken, frank policy of
peace. He was also enlightened re-
garding the relations between Germany
and Austria. During the audience the
emperor repeatedly assured Count Lob
anoff-Rostovsky of Germany's keen de-
sire to maintain friendly relations with
Russia and during the dinner which fol
lowed, his majesty again referred to
the subject, remarking in drinking to
his guest, that he hoped the misunder-
standing of the past were forgotten and
| they would not recur''
| In order to practically test the avail
ability of fast passenger steamers, the
government has chartered the HAM
! burg-American line steamship Norman
mia, and during the autumn and winter

ering services. Four naval officers and
| score of other naval men will be de-
tailed on board of her, in addition to
the Normannia's regular crew.
BICYCLES FOR THE ARMY.
Each regiment of German infantry is
now receiving six bicycles of the most
improved construction for use during
the army maneuvers and for future use
in time of war, should there be necessity
for them.
The passage of the speech which
Herr Liebknecht made before the So
cialist congress at Breslau. for which
he is charged with les majestic, referred
to some recent remarks of his majesty
which the Socialists leader described as
IAN utterance bred partly by ridiculous
conceit and partly by burning hatred"
The editor of the Hanover Socialist
Journal, which was the only publication
which dared to print the above remark,
has also been arrested and charged
with les majestic.
1t is the governments manifest inten-
ton to deal severely with Herr Liebk-
necht and, if possible, to suppress the

lice interference.
