.BERLIN, Sept. 7.-Copyrighted by the
Associated Press.-Emperor William s
denunciation of Socialists in his peech
at the banquet in the imperial palace
Monday evening in honor of the surren-
der OF Sedan, has been the theme of ami
mated discussion in the press of Berlin
during the week. The official organ OF the
Conservatives in its anger seriously pro-
poses the exclusion of Socialist deputies
from all the commit tees of the Reichstag
in disregard of the fact that the course
will be unconstitutional. The press gener-
ally has been disputed over the meaning of
the emperor's words. They believe that the
emperor wishes 10 have law passed
which shall be even more stringent in its
provisions than the Bismarck law of 1878.
Emperor William has recently been read
ing extracts made daily from the Socialist
newspapers, and his encourage, especially
Herr Won Lucanus. chief of his najesty's
civil cabinet. Herr Won Wiedel. chief Of
the emperor's household, anu Herr Won
Hanke have famed the flame of his in
dignation at insulting references to his
grandfather, Emperor William 1. This
eliminated Monday morning in the en-
peror saying to one of his intimates: at
is time we made an end of this.
There is one section of the German
Press that desires the enactment of new
oppressive measures. The Center and Lib
eral press unanimously condemn the
Socialist press for its insults to the en-.
peror, but utter warnings against the en-
a. ut Of hit
measures.
Another sensation has been caused by
the Vorwae,ts publishing the correspond
ence of Baron Won Hammerstein, form
erly the editor of the Kreuz Zeitung. who
retired from political life early in the
year, in rather scandalous quarrel with
the Agrarian party. The letters, which
bear the impress of authenticity, convict
the Conservative leaders of base oppor-
tunism, even to the point of desertion of
the Socialist ranks, unless their Agrarian
demands should be separated.
1t is supposed that Won Hammerstein
is trying to intimidate his colleagues by
exposing the intrignes.
Four army corps, comprising IL. 600
men, are engaged in the Stettin maneuv-
ers.
Emperor Williams guests there include
Prince Joseph of Saxony, the crown
prince OF Italy, Prince Leopold of Arnnlf,
Lord Roberts of Caldahar and the Earl of
Lonsdale. Emperor William. except |
what time he Is not in com mand of
troops, will be umpire of the maneuvers.
Tho Earl of Lonsdale, since his arrival in
Germany. has been constantly with
Emperor Williams company.

Lighted with the kindness they have met
with everywhere. Mr.. Fourche of Chi
cago. in an interview with the cores
pendent of tho Associated Press, said
that when they visited Friedrichsruhe '
they found Prince Bismarck IN a most |
amiabIe mood. The prince showed them
all the c1urtesies in his power. H in |
sisted on Mr.. Fourche testing the wines
and spirits in his cellar and would take |
no denial. Prince Bismarck was very
curious to obtain an opinion as to the |
quality and age of his American whisky,
being, he said, not much of a con.
noisseur of that article since the days
when John IIathrop Motley and George |
Bancroft represented the United States
at Berlin.
Tho veterans were assigned to an ad-
position from which to view
the parade on the templehoff field. There
the emperor conversed with them with
to each of them souvenir medal, on one
side of which was his portrait.
