Berlin. May 5-The German editors are
not accustomed to much courtesy from
government officials. Usually they are
not treated so well as even the foreign
correspondents, who think they have CON
slant cause for complaint. Freiherr Won
Marschau, secretary of foreign affairs,
therefore won golden opinions on all sides
when he promised that every arrangement
for the convenience of the press should be
made at the Kiel fetes Now the pro-
gramme of the feats has been published
in detail, the editors declare they have
been deceived. They say that the Mar
schalrs promises were broken as soon as
made and We're intended only to conceal
from the foreign newspapers the system
attic in-treatment to which German Off
cialdom subjects the German press. The
reason for this outbreak is apparent only
to those who have heard the German ed
itors old complaint that his reporters arc
excluded from the big banquets under
official patronage. The grievance is Of
long standing and hence all the newspa-
pers were indignant when they learned
that although provided with a special
train and a special steamer. their men
would not be allowed to attend the dinner
to be given TO the emperor in the Hamburg
town hall by the city's senators and
burghers.
Despite the grumbling it is evident that
the government has really made unusual
eXortions to, treat the German press prop
erly, that Is, according to its ideas OF
TO, riety. A chartered steamer will take
the correspondents rouod the Ulster basin
to see the illumination of Hamburg. The
correspondents will be carried in a special
train at the governments expense to
Hamburg and Kiel, and on the second day
of the fetes, will be taken to all points
where they can observe best all the prep
arations for Emperor Williams reception.
They will not be permitted, however, TO
pass through the canal with the process
sion of warshipS, or to be present at the
embarkation at Bruensbuttel They are
invited to the paval ball to be given in
the Belvidere Garden but Will be excluded
from the banquet room in the nulk or the
old training ship Niobe, where uhe en-
perOr is expected to make an important
speech.
porters win be allowed at places where
Emperor William plans TO make after
dinner speeches. The reason for this pre-
caution may be found in the emperor un-
lucky experiences with his after-dinner
speeches in the first three or four years
THE rush of correspondents for accom-
nodations at the fetes has been enormous
so enormous that dozens of applications
have been refused by the special press
committee, on which the government un-
loaded the responsibility and odium for
the press arrangements.

The liberal and radical newspapers have
instructed something like a referendum
regarding the anti-socialist bill. The
Trankfurter Zeitung will send to the
Reichstag a petition signed by 21,000 of
its readers who oppose the bill. The Ber-
lin TagebIatt has a similar petition with
nearly 100000 signatures, and several other
newspapers have gathered from $1,000 to
| 10000 each.
