Berlin. Nov. 24-The final spell OF
/ schooling which is allowed to the kaiser
! before his attention viii be engaged in
1 the direction of political and court al
/ fairs by the resumption of the session Of
I the Eeichstag and the opening of the
! winter season will be passed upon the
4 estates in Prusslan saxony. where the
4 emperor will so on Monday. His majes-
/ ty has recently had remarkably sue
cessful hunt, first at Piesdorf, where he
/ beat the record. In a single day he shot
26l hares, sixty-seven pheasants and six
partridges. His next shooting was at
Letzlingen, where there We're plenty of
wild boars and deer. At this shoot for
ty one stays, two fallow dear, twenty
five wild bear and twenty small pigs fell
to the kaiser's bag and the grand duke
! who accompanied him shot eighteen
stays, sixteen faiiow deer thirteen wild
boars ana two small pigs. The shooting
| lodge at Letzlingen was the scene Of
nightly festivities and the emperor put
aside his dignity and joined in the fun.
In the banquet room there is quaint
I drinking cup fitted into a stag's horn.
/ This cup, which has been used since the
time of King Frederick William III, re-
quires half bottle of wine to I'LL it. The
/ drinkers face fits into the antlers, which
are so curved as to keep the mouth in
| close contact with the rim of the cup.
| The custom is that a guest attending the
| hunt for the first time must empty the cup
| at a single draught. Upon the occasion
of last eek's hunt. Chancellor Prince Won
| Hoheniohe was attending as a neophyte
and the kaiser asked him to drink the
| health of the empress out of the cup,
which was filled with champagne. Prince
Won Hohenlohe essayed to do so, but pour
| ed the VINE over mis- face ana over his
| collar amid the laughter of the emperor
and the assembled guests There Is
plate on the cup which bears an inscrip-
! cup must be used by all of his successors
| at these hunting feats.
| Another incident OF the hunt is told as
| follows: The guests invited to Letzlingen
| were so numerous ana the field of the
chase was so wide that the emperor caus-
| ed tickets of identity to be issued to the
guests taking part in the hunt. gem
| attentively that the kaiser said to him:
| ny do you fix your eyes upon me?
| Perhaps you think have no ticket; here
it is, at the same time handing 1t to the
| gendarme.
The latter replied: II never thought of
| the ticket" whereupon the kaiser order
ed him to demand a ticket from each of
| the guests, which he proceeded to do.
| Princes, dukes and other notable person
ages were fined for the non-production of
| their tickets, which many of them had lett
| behind, and the joke seemed to amuse the
| imperial mind greatly.
The decision Of the German government
| not to send a dispatch boat to Turkey
| is regarded as a sign that Germany places
strong reliance upon the ability ana in
tention of the sultan to preserve order
| in his dominion Although German Off
cial opinion is not openly hostile to the
| action of Great Britain toward Turkey,
it certainly is not friendly, and whether
| considered as Lord Salisburys iniamma-
tory policy or Sir Philip Currie's want
| of tact in dealing with the sultan, to-
gether with his frigid and unyielding
manner toward that monarch, their ac-
tions are the subject of open talk in dip
lomatic circles here and in Vienna.
The pending reforms in the old age in
! surance measures have led to a squab-
Bile between DR. Won Boetticher, imperial

the minister of the interior, obtained sew

on account of illness and is now recruit
ing his officially impaired health and

has been suspended from his functions as

The Reichsanzeger, the official journal,

| reforms published in the Gazette will be-
come law and declares that they were
made public through grave indiscretion.
