Berlin, June 23.-It has been generally
supposed that the illness of the empress
last week was due to her condition of
coming maternity. 1t was really caused
by an attack. to which afliction she is at
all times subject. AS her majesty was
about starting for Hamburg a furious
attack of neuralgia set in, and she was
consequently prevented from going there.
Her doctors advised her to abandon the
idea Of going to Kiel. She made the ven
ture anyhow. The imperial circle at the
admiralty ball saw a recurrence of her sur-
ferings and saw them born smilingly.
but the emperor on Friday insisted on her
withdrawal from the remaining festivities
and her retirement into privacy. After
taking a short rest at FIiel castle, her mai
esty will return to Potsdam.
The officials. especially the Off
cials of the police force depart
ment, are congratulating themselves
upon the fact that the presumed anar-
chist plot to spoil the fetes by outrages
were foiled. According to reports. they
had arranged for a grand coup at the
outset Of proceedings by blowing up the
artificial island iii the Alster river An
onymous letters were received by the Of
fcers warning them that such was con-
templated, and the most rigid precau-
tions were taken. Small Importance was
attached to them at first, but repeated in
explicable accidents to the electric wires
which were laid to illuminate the city led
TO the suspicion that anarchists were at
work. Boats were forbidden to approach
the island, and launches night and day
were guarding the city at Kiel. The con-
sequence was that if there were really
any intention to commit outrages the
plan was frustrated No one who was
not known could get near the royalties.
The Berlin and other German newspa-
pers are unceasing in their laudatory re-
ferences to the fetes and their praises of
those who made them so completely sue
cessful. Some of these journals cannot
resist tho temptation TO attribute the gov
ernments desire to carry them out to sue
cess to complete to Interior motives.
Doubtless, says Herr Richter, if the
Reichstag were sitting now the effect of
the effervescence of the national feeling
might be the governments chance to OBJ
tain large naval credit, but before the
chamber meets again a just estimate of
the value of the canal to Germany will
control the decisions and discussions of
the ReiChStag Discussing the oror1 erca
on the canal the industrial press concur
with the resolutions passed at the recent
meeting of the German Nautical Associa-
ton, at which the leading German indus
tries were represented. These resolutions
declared that advantages could be secured
only in the event that the dues assessed
were profitable. Most ship owners agree
that the tolls, including pilotage dues,
ought not to exceed thirty Jennings per
registered ton, instead of the present tar
if. The government do not expect any
great influx of traffic and in view of the
necessity of testing the trading capacity
of the canal, they do not desire any sud
den rush of business. Later lower charges
will induce trade.
The Russo-French convention, which
the Paris newspapers allege has been con-
cluded, is said to agree that If Germany
should attack France, Russia would send
100000 men at once to the German frontier.
On the other hand. if Austria or Germany
should attack Russia, France would in
tervene in a similar manner. The re-
ports of the conclusion of such an agree
ment are received in official circles here
with incredulity
The cabinet crisis in England and the
formation of a new ministry in Vienna
are the factors which hold the emperor
10 a policy of suspense. The German gov
ernment hope for Lord Salisburys return
to power, which would restore the adhes-
ion of England to the triple alliance. In
regard to the Austrian ministry, the Ger
man clerical leaders are of the opinion
That 1T will not last more than three
months, an opinion which finds almost
general assent. Count Cen Kielmansegg
has had official experience and displayed
marked ability in his administration of
ms office in lower Austria. He carried
his schemes of Austrian unihcation to vi
emma, but the Austro-Hungarian clericals
would not very long endure Calvinist
premier for Austria concurrently with a
Lutheran premier for Hungary. Count
hlelmansegg is also strongly opposed to
antl-Semiticism and it generally speaking
moderate. 1t is understood that is the
intention of Emperor Francis Joseph 10
dissolve the Reischrath in September and
then try to obtain a cabinet.
A statue in honor of the memory of the
late DR.. Windthorst, the clerical leader in
lne Reichstag is to be erected in Mappen.
A large sum of money for its erection has
Deen raised by popular subscription
throughout Hanover. The inauguration
ceremonies will take place on July IS,
upon which occasion there will be a great
centrist demonstration.
In course. of some building excavations
IN Hanover yesterday the workmen un-
oarthed the corpse of a warrior of the Pc
rlod Of Charlemagne. This body. which is
IN marvellous state of preservation, is
that of young and vigorous man up
wards of six feet tall, with blonde hair.
II was partly covered by bronze armor. An
uquarians pronounce it a perfect specimen
of soldier of A. ID. 79S. They ascribe it's
remarkable preservation to the tanning
qualities of the earth.
The Disconte Gesellschaft is about to is
sue ten million marks of shares in the
Brazil bank.
The dubious position into which the Rus
so-Chinese loan has fallen ca uses great
deal of qualification on the bourse here.
In Paris it was reported that the loan
would be issued on June q, but this re
port has since been denied. This hitch will
