BERLIN, July 21.-The Emperor is
making the most Of his pleasure trip TO
Sweden. losing no opportunity to enjoy
himself there thoroughly. He reached
Hernosand on board the Imperial yacht
Hohenzollern on Friday, and on Satur-
day took trip on an excursion steamer up
the river Angerman. the loveliest stream
In Sweden. He returned late in the after
noon, and enjoyed dramatic entertain
ment on board the Hohenzollern in the
evening.
His majesty yesterday gave orders to
get everything in readiness on board the
Hohenzollern to sail southwark immedl-
ately, his trip northward having ended.
Throughout his trip he has declined to be
regarded as State guest, and refused TO
countenance any public demonstration IN
his honor. He declined a formal recep-
ton al the hands of the authorities, and
spent the greater part of the day while
there in debating dispatches 1t Is sur
missed from incidents that these dls-
patches relate in some way to the sltua-
der of STAN boulOn.
Whether or mot the friendship of the
Emperor for King Oscar had the effect OF
impressing the majority In the SweOlsh
Storthing with the necessity OF proceed
Ing with caution, it is fact that the Ten
sion between the King and the Storthlng
has greatly relaxed. and an effort ls Delng
made to form coalition ministry.
The King is gratitied at finding that
his opponents have conceded the royal
grants in the shape in which he de-
manded them. The only disturbing
rumor now abroad is that committee of
Radicals have privately agreed TO make
proposal in the Storthing for an extra
ordinary credit OF II, 800 900 kroner for
the purpose OF buying two ironclad war
ships, three torpedo boats and quantity
OF new rifles and ammunition and the
construction Of Notifications at Christi
ana, Bergen and Dronthelm. Whether
or not this rumor is correct, there IS no
doubt that some such project is on foot
In the meantime the Radicals are keep
ing very quiet and abiding events.
The recent German and Dutch demon
stratlons at Taugier, which were forced
upon both by outrages committed upon
German and Dutch subjects In Morocco,
seemed likely to cause serious quarrel
with France. The murder OF a German
trader named Rockshop, and the plum
dering of the Dutch brig Marie Anne
short time ago led at first to diplomatic
representations, which proved to be fu-
tile. These were followed by the pres
ence of four German and two Dutch
WarShipS in Moorish waters, whereupOn
the Sultan promised to execute the muir
derers or somebody else. and also to pay
an indemnity. This having been re-
ported to the Berlin Government, orders
were sent to the German warships to re-
ieh MT q
German and Dutch indemnities were
paid. The German Consul at Tsngier
acted in behalf of the Dutch Government
in the affair, and this fact obviously in
spired the recent articles In the Paris
Journal DeS De6GtS warning Germany
TO keep her hands off Morocco if she de-
sired to maintain good relations with
France.
The, VoSsische Zeltu1g, replying to these
articles, called upon the Berlin Govern
ment to give a fitting reply to the inso-
lence of France, ii the question should be
raised officially. The German press gen.
orally admit the same tone In regard to
the matter. Official communications.
therefore, passed between the two Gov
ernments, and whether they were init
ated on the settlement which originated
in Berlin or Paris is not known. nor does
il make much difference. but the French
Government has repudlated the De6dtS
article, and acknowledged the right of
Germany to deal with Morocco in her
own way, even 10 the extent OF occupy
ing part of her territory. This Is a COM
plete knuckle-down for France, and il is
conceded that no sharper or more expedi-
fious diplomatic incident has transpired
in recent years than that conducted on
the part of Germany.
The Cologne Gdzette'S advices from
Tangier say that the Sultan of Morocco is
lying seriously i'll at Fez, and that there
is,small chance that the demands of Ger.
many will be met for a long time to come.
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria contin-
ues to remain at Carlsbad. He is con-
stantly guarded by large suite. among
whom are number OF Russian secret
police. He tells his adherents almost
daily that it is his intention to start for
Sofia Immediately, but he does not start.
He says the same thing to the visitors
he receives at his house, the Villa Their
esa, in the English quarter The villa is
among number of large trees, and is
one of the prettiest places in Carlsbad.
The park is alive with Russian and Bull
garian detectives, who are easily spotted
inside and outside of the walls surround
ing the place.
From the time of Ferdinand's arrival
IN Carlsbad. on J uly 10th, observant Wis.,
itors felt that something startling was
impending. It was not only as stated in
the dispatches last week that his absence
from Bulgaria meant that some plot was
about to be executed, but his conduct
itself excited speculation. On his previ-
Gus visits to Carlsbad his time was spent
on the promenades, at the theaters and
in indulgence in whatever gaiety was
going on. Upon this occasion he has
been almost invisible. He is never seen
on the promenades, and he did not 60 TO
the springs. as he always did before.
The Ouly times he was known to 60 out
were early in the morning, when he
would 60 to a cafe III the suburbs and sit
there moodily, surrounded by his suite.
His every action and attitude suggested
that be was awaiting news of some
event
After the murder of ex-Premier Stam-
bouloff the Princes behavior became
suddenly and ostentatiousiv changed. As
the reports received linked him with the
crime, and attributed his unwonted Sc
clusion TO his fear that he would be assas-
sinated, he has made his reappearance in
: pub every day since then. DE walks
along the Sprudel promenade ana shows
himself at the Cafe Asthof and III the
public reading-room OF the Gale and else
where, always walking with quick
nervous step, with the detectives closely
behind him. A report at Carlsbad, in
describing his conduct, says: at was
extremely offensive TO public feeling to
see him affecting merriment and laugh
ing with his suite at the very time his
Secretary was sending kilograms to the
press, telling how Prince Ferdinand was
stricken with grief and horror over the
Stam bouloff tragedy"
The entourge OF Prince Ferdinand in-
dignantly deny the charge of eowardice
which has been generally leveled al him,
and assert that he simply means TO take
care OF his precious lie. He is aware that
the Panitiza gang, meaning the friends of
that officer, who believe that be was un-
Justly put to death. are on his track. and
oIso snsnicious of others. even the men
