BERLIN, Jan. 19.-The news of the
great political changes in Paris was
received in Berlin with more amaze
ment and disquiet than might have
been expected from the peculiar rela-
lions existing between the two coun-
tries.
Emperor William Gas cabled to the
Associated Press at the time) certainly
went to the French embassy on
Wednesday last on foot and had
long conference with the French am
bassador, NJ Herbette, during which
he expressed his regrets at the resig-
nation of Casimir-Perier. But Prince
Hohenlohe, at the parliamentary re-
ception held the same evening dis
cussed the political situation in France
with large group Of his guests. The
chancellor spoke quite freely, and in
alluding to the chances of the various
candidates for the presidency, declared
that the crisis was less grave and
alarming than some of those present
believed.
Publicly, by leading politicians here
the news from France is treated in the
same manner the only exception to this
rule being in the case of the Socialist
party whose members tried to create
the impression that a great ''krach''
or collapse had at last come to France
Emperor William has been exceed
ingly busy during the past week. A
series of court festivities has now fairly
begun. The great
CORONATION FESTIVAL
occurs tomorrow, and the great court
reception is fixed for next Wednesday,
Then there is the birthday fete of the
tons for its celebration are already
under way. A special programme has
been arranged for gala performance
at the Royal opera house. where among
other attractions, the second act of
''Rienzi," just as Wagner originally
wrote il, will be given.
Since the emperor's advent in Berlin
he resides partly at the royal castle, in
his own suite of rooms, and partly in
the small, but cosy. chateau Bellevue,
III the heart of the Thiergarten, where
his two eldest sons, the crown prince
and Eitel Friedrich, are permanently
domiciled with their teachers. Early
III the week the emperor was seen
snowbalIing with the two boys in the
front garden.
Emperor William has sent a number
OF his own drawings, representing war
ships of the latest construction, to the
National library of the reichstag, each
design being marked 'W. I. r. (Wil-
helm Imperator Rex.
The emperor has just ordered from
the German shipyard a tWentyrater
racing yacht for the coming season.
4 number OF the yacht clubs of Berlin,
Hamburg, Stettin and Keil have given
similar orders, and next summer a
great yachting meeting is to take
place Berlin yachts for the first time
will make the trip entirely by water,
which will be possible after the open
ing Of the Baltic canal. The emperor
personally will offer more than one
man yachtsmen.
The demand of Emperor William that
ten or
DOZEN FAST CRUISERS
be added to the German navy will,
judging from the feeling expressed by
tie members of the reichstag, be
adopted without much trouble The
Hamburg chamber of commerce sup
ports the scheme in it's annual re-
port, i'll which it declares that such
an increase is necessary in order to
strengthen German influence abroad
and facilitate the extension of the col
onies of Germany. An imperial decree
has been issued, imposing the duty
upon each lieutenant in the army to IN
dertake at least once every two
years long-distance ride on horse
back. The emperor will give prizes to
each army corps for the best achieve
ment. Non-commissioned officers will
be allowed to take part in these races
Considerable comment has been
caused by particular pains which the
emperor took to testify his friendship
for SchOuValoff Oh the latter leaving
his post as Russian ambassador at
Berlin to occupy that of governor of
Warsaw. His majesty gave the gen
eral a cigar case of pure gold incrusted
with diamonds, and with a fac smile
OF his signature III rubies. In presenting
this handsome gift to the retiring am
baSs&dor the emperor said: 81 give
it to you as a friend, and not as the
emperor"
On Wednesday last the emperor went
alone and unattended to the Russian
embassy with the diamond decora tons
Of the Order of the Black Eagle which
he had bestowed upon SchouValoff
During the dinner which Emperor
William gave to the diplomatic corps
Oh Tuesday last his majesty, who was
sitting opposite Mrs. Runyon, wife of
the United States ambassador, ex-
pressed admiration for her splendid cut
diamonds. They are American cut
diamonds, your majesty said Mrs.
Runyon.
Yes, 1 notice." rejoined the en-
peror, smiling, that America is begin
ming to beat US in more ways than
one
