Berlin, Jan. SIT Is significant fact
that the majority OF the New Years
day articles in the newspapers re-
vlewinl the present situation were
pesslmistic In tone expressing grave
doubts regarding Germnny's future.
For instance the Relehsbote. the conser-
vative organ deplored Germany's wan
ing influence abroad, and wished
Prince Bismarck back at the helm
again.
The Hamburger Nachrichten criti-
cised the colonial and foreign policy Of
the past year as being vacillati19 and
devoid OF visor. az
The most sensational article However
appeared in the volks zeltung Of
Cologne. the main organ OF the Centrist
party which. in the present session OF
the reichstag Is again decisive fac
tor After mentioning the general feel
ing OF ineaslness and uncertainty AS 10
the future, the article says:
THE main role in all this IL played
by the individuality OF Emperor Will
liam. No doubt he is a highly gifted
monarch, with the best Intentions, but
in his abnormally developed feelings
OF sovereignty he induces responsible
statesmen to disappear from View more
than we have been accustomed to, ana
he takes the initiative in which the
sovereign has hitherto not interfered.
At all events, the changeful decisions in
the higher place render IL difficult TO
determine with even reasonable amount
OF certainty which course at any given
time Is to be pursued and induce the
belief that the present coursSeYIll not
be adhered to for any length OF time"
Later on the article speaks OF tho
Gutenberg dynasty" he says: Count
Eotho Zu Gutenberg planned a coup
detat and he Ia probably destined to
be the successor of the present cham
oellor" The opinion is expressed that
constitutional conflict Is coming and
unavoidable. These utterances coming
from the leading mouthplece OF the
most powerful parliamentary party are
highly significant
Some OF the leading Berlin newspa-
pers, notably the Vossische Zeitung and
the National Zeltung speak very blunt
ly about the autocratlo manner in
which the emperor ordered tho district
around the royal castle to be blocked
against all traffic during the court
ceremonies on New Years day, The
National HeitunE commentif\y upon
this, remarks, "The streets OF Berlin
belong to the Berliners This principle
was recognized by the police during tho
time OF William l and II Is time that
the principle should be recognized"
Respecting the alleged utterances OF
Emperor William on New Years day
the schlesische zeltung today declared
authoritatively that the report that tho
emperor delivered political speech
pure invention. adding. "He did
nor make the slightest reference 10
politics; his few words uttered related
solely to military matters"
The cordial manner In which EN-
peror William greeted United States
Ambassador Runyon at the reception
OF the diplomatic corps was generally
remarked. His majesty warmly shook
hands with Mr.. Runyon and returned
the Fluctuations OF the day, Wishing
welfare for the transatlantic republic.
Emperor William OH New Years
evening received a long visit from
Prince Hohcnlohe. and It Is said they
discussed the south German situation
and the approaching visit OF Prince
1tohenlohe to Prince bismarck at Fried
erlchsruhe and the measures TO be
taken In order to pass the anti-revoiu-
ton bill through the relchstag. The
visit Of the chancellor 10 Prince Bis
marclS Ia 90 be a mere act OF courtesy,
with no bearing on the political course

statesman and the public feeling gem
orally.
In connection with the anti-revolution
bill, tho iVorwaertz, organ of tho So
oialists, which has become notorious
for obtaining and publishing secret Of
ncial documents, on Thursday last pub
lished a circular marked CONFIDENTIAL"
issued by the government presidents of
the provinces to the police and civil au-
thoritles. instructlng them 10 suppress,
on the slightest pretoxt. meetings held
TO protest against the anti-revolutiou
bill. The socialists are now sending to
the local leaders OF their party warn
ings how to avoid the seizure OF COM
promising papers and how to cope with
the police In the event of tho antl-rovo-
luton bill becoming a law.
The propofnl OF the government to
present bill to the rcichstag raislng
the duty on cotton seed oil TO 10 marks
and reducing the duty on aduiterated
cotton seed oil 1-2 marks. is opposed
by the whole liberal press.
The Vosslche ZeItung especially COM
bats the proposition. pointing out that
in view OF the concliiatory spirit shown
by the United States lately In tarir
Legislation touching German interests,
dt is neither Just nor wise to provoke
new conflicts. Cotton seed oil is being
