Berlin, September emperor Will
iams denunciation of Socialists in his
speech at the banquet at the Imperial
palace, Monday evening, in honor of
the surrender Of Sedan, has been the
theme of animated discussion in the
press of Berlin during the entire week.
The official organ of the Conservatives,
in its anger, seriously proposes the eX-
clusion of Socialist committees from all
committees of the Reichstag, in utter
disregard of the fact that the course
would be unconstitutional. The press
generally has been disputing over the
meaning of the Emperor's words. Many
believe that the Emperor wishes to
have a law passed which shall be even
more stringent in its provisions than
the Bismarck law of 1878. Emperor
William has recently been reading ex-
tracts made daily from the Socialisuc
newspapers and his encourage, espec-
tally Herr Won Lucanus, chief OF His
Majesty's civil cabinet, Herr Won.
Weidel, chief of the Emperor's house
hold, and Herr Won Hannke, have fan
ned the flame of his indignation at in
sulting references to his grandfather,
saying to one Of his intimates: 1T is
time we made an end of this"
Another sensation has been caused
bn a,sfc- lfr1
spondence OF Baron Won Hammerstein,
formerly the editor of Kruez Zeitung,
who retired from political life early in
the year in a rather scandalous quar-
rel with the agragrian party. The let
ters, which bear the impress of au-
thenticity, convict the Conservative
leaders of base opportuism, even to the
point of desertion of the Socialist
ranks, unless their agrarian demands
should be satisfied. It is supposed
that Won Hammerstein is trying to in
timidate his colleagues by exposing
these intrigues.
-Four army corps, comprising 10000
men, are engaged in the Stettin man
oeuvres. Emperor Williams guests
there include Prince Joseph of Saxony,
the Crown Prince of Italy, Prince Leo
pold, Of Arnulf, Bavaria, Lord Rob-
erts, of Candahar, and the Earl of
Lonsdale Emperor William. except
what time he is not in command of the
troops, will be umpire of the manoeu-
vres. The Earl of Lonsdale, since his
arrival in Germany, has been constant,
ly with Emperor Williams company.
The German-American veterans are
delighted with the kindness they have
met with everywhere. Mr.. Forche, Of
Chicago, in an intervie with the cor
respondent of the Associated Press.
said that when they visited Friedrichs-
ruhe they found Prince Bismarck in a
most amiable mood. The Prince show
ed them all the courtesies in his
power.
The new American Consular rules
as to making out bills of lading are
felt by all German exporters to i'm
pose great hardship on them. Many
complaints are already finding their
way into the newspapers.
