BERLIN, June 15.-Public attention lust
now is wholly concentrated on the ap-
preaching fetes at Kiel in celebration OF
the opening of the Baltic and North sea
canal. Other questions, even that of an
other Cabinet crisis, which is lowering in
the air, have been relegated to the back
ground. On Friday next, June 21 twenty
two German war ships will be anchored in
kiel harbor, having on board 1,0JO German
sailors, and on the many foreign war ships
which will be there at the same time there
will be 5000 men in round numbers The
United States squadron entered the harbor
to-day, and on passing Friedrich fort it's
guns saluted the German flag, which was
flying from the fort. The latter returned
the compliment.
The postal arrangements at Kiel are of
an extraordinary description. number of
floating postoffices viii lie in the midst of
the war ships, and a small fleet OF steam
pinnaces will maintain an elaborate mail
service. In addition. marine postofbce
will be established on board the steamer
which has been set apart for the use of
the press, and this postoffice will be under
the supervision of government officials able
TO converse in the seven leading languages.
The newspaper men, however, are already
complaining greatly, not of the manner in
which they have been treated, but of the
way in which it is proposed to treat them
during the fetes. According to the pro-
gramme, the press steamer Will not be al
lowed TO join in the procession through
the canal, and moreover she W II be sta
toned in such an awkward position that
those on board of her will be able to see
little or nothing of the ceremonies Nat
urally, this has caused considerable dis
and all the big newspapers have been com
peeled to take otner steps 10 OBTAIN the
information they desire to present in their
Holtenau, Emperor William will toast the
United States navy and the band will play
Hail Columbia -
In spite of the official statements to the
effect that the canal is safe and ready for
nayigation. competent engineers who have
opinion that it is quite possible that the
banks Will cave m during the passage of the
big war ships
The lavish character of the hospitality
which will be extended TO the crews of the
various foreign ships at Kiel may be judged
from the fact that contract made with
Hamburg firm provides for the supply
OF fourteen tons Of fresh -eeat daily, 1000
notifies of wine, 10 bottles of spirits, 10000
bottles of beer 5000 gallons of beer in
casks and 1000 gallons of milk, apart from
the ordinary rations on board.
A dispatch from Kiel says that Archduke
Charles Stephen and high officers of the
German squadron, including the German
Admiral, visited the American flagship New
York this afternoon.
POLITICS MUDDLED.
Politics, in the meanwhile, are in a very
muddled condition. The Agrarians, in CO.
alition with the Conservatives have again
started bitter campaign against the pres
ent Cabinet, with the intention of securing
the dismissal of DR.. Won Boetticher, the
Imperial Secretary of State for the Interior;
u rp.~
perial Minister for Foreign Affairs, and
Baron Won Berlepsch, the Prussian Minister
of Commerce, to whose opposition they at
tributed the government refusal to sanction
any of the big agrarian schemes. The
Conservatives also point to the latest de-
velopments of the China-Japan imbroglio,
especially the Chinese loan, as showing
that Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein's
foreign policy has been complete nasco.
The Agrarians are pushing the agitation
against American cereals, especially pre-
pared oat meal.
During the past week the Emperor has
shown truly feverish activity. After sleep
