BERLIN, Aug. 17@ISpecial Berlin
cable letter, copyrighted 1895, by the
Associated Press.l-The dull days are
over and things are getting lively
again in Berlin. The chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe, and the Prussian minister
of the interior, Baron Won Koeller
have returned. The emperor arrived
at Wild Park station on his return
from England this morning. He looks
remarkably well and his yachting and
shooting expeditions have evidently
agreed with him. He is considerably
Drowned by the sun and is as full of
energy as ever. The emperor will be
present at the laying of the corner
stone to the memory of his grand
father, Emperor William I, at the
Schloss Freihit tomorrow. The cere-
mony will be highly impressive.
Political Relations.
Politically, the relations between
| Germany and England have almost
monopolized public attention and are
the occasion for a general discussion
by the entire press. This has been
brought about by several editorials in
the London Standard and Daily News,
which were extremely distasteful to
Germany. In fact, the Hanover Cour-
! Ter even went so far as to SAY that
the emperor's periodical visits to Eng
land were not approved by the nation,
as they merely served to increase
British insolence. An article in the
I Standard especially advising the en-
peror that his aim ought to be to show
himself worthy of his maternal an
cestry, has aroused perfect storm
of Indignation. The entire press has
given vent to a violent burst Of an
glophobia, with Prince Bisnarck's
Hamburger Hachrichten in the van.
But even the official press, including
the North German Gazette has Joined
in the outcry, and there is no doubt
that just now England is the country
most hated by Germans.
Memorial Celebrations.
battles fought against the French in
August, 1870, continue to be the order
of the day. The battle of ST. Privat
was celebrated today at Potsdam,
| throughout Saxony and in a number of
the smaller Prussian garrison cities.
AT Spandau a number of veterans as
sociations are giving a big fete.
The various battlefields around Metz
are being visited by thousands of vet
Grams and other visitors. and a mon
ument has been placed on the battle
field of Vionville in memory of Prince
Frederick Charles. Wreaths and dec
orations have been sent by the tens
Of thousands in order to decorate the
graves of the German soldiers upon
the different battlefields.
Everything is being done by the
German authorities along the line Of
the frontier of France to avoid hostile
meetings between French and Ger
mans, and passing the frontier line
is discouraged and not permitted at all
in the case of large parties or bodies
of men carrying insignia. The annual
pilgrimage of the German Catholics
from the Rhine provinces to Lourdes
has been forbidden out of Difference to
French feelings.
Sedan Day.
The city council of Berlin has voted
$4,000 marks for a public celebration
of Sedan day, the only members OPP
posing the motion being the Social
lists under Vogtherr, who spoke of 1.-THE
bloody deeds of war needlessly under
taken" The city councils of Cologne, !
Dresden, Barmen and Stuttgart have !
voted 10000, $4,000, 10000 and 5000
marks respectively for the same pur-
pose. Dortmunde and a number of
other cities will distribute large sums
OF money to the veterans, and Herr
Krupp, THE famous big gun manufac-
y
workmen's pension fund in honor of
the present memorial time. In addi-
ton Roesicke and other prominent |
brewers are making presents to vet |
Grams who are among their en- !
ployes.
The Case Of Stern.
Mr. Louis Stern, the New York dry
goods merchant, recently sentenced ito !
d fine Of 600 marks and to imprison-
ment for two weeks for having in
suited a government official at Kis-
sengen, is still at Munich trying to OBJ
tain a modification of his jail SEN
tence by the prince regent of Bavaria.
Influence has been brought to bear
for Mr.. Stern, and he will undoubtedly
get his sentence of imprisonment con-
verted into a fine.
