GERMANY AND THE FETES
Opinion of Northern Press Upon
the Italian Celebration.
THE ANTI-REVOLUTION BILL
of Count Won Gutenberg
with Emperor william Gives Rise
and a Radical Disagreement Be-
tween His Ma jesty and Hohenlohe.

Berlin, Sept. 22.-The comments Of the
German press upon the Italian fetes com
memoratiDg the victory of Victor Emma nuel
into Rome are mostly sympathetic, but are
not strongly marked and are generally
devoted congratulations upon the progress
Italy has made since she became unified.
GermaDia, Tie Catholic organ, expresses
the sentiments of the entire body of German
Catholics by declaring that the celebrations
ought not to have been held.
"The robbery of the church" the paper
continues, was for time successful, but it
could no more eventually succeed than
the robbery of Almighty God. Both the
Pope and the King will yet see the triumph
OF the church over its ~worst enemy
The North German Gazette admits that
devout Catholics cannot appreciate the
morality OF the act, though it raised the
nation by giving it possession of its historic
and natural capital. Time" the Ga
zette adds, will reconcile Catholics to an
event which will ultimately increase
the prestige and power of the Vatican"
The Italians residing in Berlin, who
are mostly working men, will hold fetes
tonight, consisting of banqUets and CON
certs, i'll various beer halls.
The warmest congratulations to the Ital
ians appropriately come through the Ham
burger Nachrichten, in the shape of a
sort of greeting from Prince Bismarck
to Premier Crispi The paper says: III
there Is anything at which Italy ought To
rejoice, IL is the manner in which she
solved the problem of maintaining the
liberty and dignity of the Pope, at the
same time preserving her national dignity.
May she, under the leadership of the Ma
tional Dynasty, surnl"unt all difficulties
and always advance"
ANTIREv oLUTIoN BILL
Prince Won Huhenlohe, who joined the
emperor un the imperial train at Dantzic
N September 16, in obedience to the
Kaiser's summons to the chancellor 10
report to him the results of the Princes
mission Ia St Petersburg. had a confer
ence with his majesty covering three days,
each days audience being prolonged for
several hours
After the conference the chancellor pro-
ceeded to his seat at Aussee. Austria,
the Emperor starting at the same time
for Rominton. Prior to taking his de-
parture from Berlin the Emperor ordered
Count Philip Won Fulenburg the German
ambassador TO Austria, to accompany him.
As Count Won Fulenburg is generally
regarded as an enemy OF Prince Won
Hohenlohe and commonly designated as
his successor in the chancelerie, new inn
petus is given to the prevailing reports
that ministerial crisis is imminent.
1t is commonly rum ored that at the con-
ference between the Emperor and the
chancellor the Kaiser persisted in his de-
mand that the anti-revolutionary bill be
reintroduced in the Rcichstag, despite
the chancelor's depreciation of such a
course whereupon Prince Hohcnlohe plain
ly refused to pursue the policy suggested
by the Emperor and intimated that he
would resign.
There is no stamp of authenticity upon
these reports, but they certainly bear
marks of versimilitude and are generally
credited.
THERE WAS A CRISIS.
On the other hand, to-day's issue of
the Munich Neufste Nachrichten, which
is presumed to be an authority upon such
matters, asserts that such a crisis as
above described did exist, but that the
chancellor succeeded in convincing the
Emperor that the enactment of any ex-
ceptional laws was altogether needless.
The paper also declares that Prince
Hohenlohe proposed that rather than to at
tempt to pass any such laws it would be
better to introduce the Bavarian Vereinge-
setz-a law applying directly to secret and
other societies and organizations-into Prus
sia
According 10 the Neueste Nachrichten, the
Kaiser acceded TO this and subsequently
told his encourage that as long as Prince
IIohenlohe should dedicate himself to his
country he, the Emperor, would not sever
from him.
Baron Won Hammerstein, the deposed
and absconding editor -in-chief OF the Kreuz
Zeitung, has replied to the charges of forgery
and embezzlement, made against him, de-
claring that he holds receipts in full for
all the disbursements made by him ard as
sorting that examination of his accounts will
prove that the accusations against him are
impossible he further denies that the let
ters published in the Vorwaerts in regard

municated anything whatever to the Vor
