Berlin, Jan. 19.-[Copyrighted 1895 by
the Associated Press. 1.-The news Of the
great political changes in Paris was re-
ceiyed in Berlin with less amazement
and disquiet than might have been ex-
pected from the peculiar relations exist
ing between the two countries.
Emperor William, as caoIed to the
Associated Press at the time, went to
the French embassy on Wednesday last
on foot and had q long conference with
the French ambassador. NJ HsTbette,
during which he expressed mis- regrets
at the resignation of Casimir-Parier.
But Prince Hohenlohe, at the reception
held the same evening, discussed the
political situation in France with a
large group of his guests. The chan
ceiIor spoke quite freely, and in allud
ing to the chances of the various can
didates for the presidency declared that
the crisis was less grave and alarming
than some of those present believed.
Publicly, by leading politicians here,
the news from France is treated in the
same manner, the only exception to this
rule being in the case of the Socialist
the impression that a great "krach" or
collapse had at last come in France.
Series of Court Festivities.
The emperor has been exceedingly
busy during the past week. = series
of court festivities has now fairly be
gun. The great coronation festival Oc-
,curs tomorrow and the great court re-
,ception is fixed for next Wednesday.
There is the birthday of the emperor
on Sunday, Jan. q, and preparations
for it's celebration are already under
way. A special programme has been
arranged for "a gala performance at the
iroya, opera house, where, among other
attractions, the second act of ''Reinse''
just as Wagner originally wrote it WIFI
be given.
Since the emperor's advent in Ber-
lin, he resides PARTLY at the royal cas-
tile in his own suite of rooms and
partly in the small Chateau Bellevue,
in the heart of Thorgarten, where his
two eldest sons, the crown prince and
| Eitel Frederick, are permanently
domiciled with their teachers.
Emperor William has sent a, num-
Der of his own drawings, represent
ing WarshipS of the latest cOnstrUc-
! ton, to the national library Of the
| reichstag, each design being marked
"Wir," Wilhelm Imperator Rex. The
emperor has just ordered from the
/ Germanfa snip-yards a 20-rater rae
ing yacht for the coming season. 4
number of the yacht clubs of Berlin,
Hamburg and Stettin have given sim
liar orders, and next summer a great
Yachting meeting is to take place.
! Berlin yachts for the first time will
| make, the trip entirely by water,
| which will be possible after the open
! ing of the Baltic canal. The emperor
personally will offer more than one
prize to be competed for by the Ger
man yachtsmen.
| Fast Cruisers Wanted.
The demand of Emperor William
| that ten or a dozen fast cruisers be
added to the German navy, will, judg-
| ing from the feeling expressed by the
members of the reichstag, be adopted
without much trouble. The Hamburg
! chamber of c0mmerce supports the
! scheme in it's annual report, in which
! it declares that such an increase is
necessary in order to strengthen Ger
man influence abroad and facilitate
the extension of the colonies Of Ger
many.
An imperial decree will be issued
| imposing the duty upon each Eeuten-
ant in the army to undertake, at
| least once every two years, a long
ride on horseback The emperor will
give prizes to each army corps for the
/ best achievement.
Considerable comment has been
caused by the particular pains which
the emperor took to testify his friend
ship for Schouvaloff on the latter S
leaving his post as Russian ambassa-
dor at Berlin. His majesty gave the
general a, cigar case Of pure gold, in
| ltrs1 fna
smile of his signature in rubies In
presenting this handsome gift to the
retiring ambassador, the emperor
said: IT give it to you as a friend
and not as the emperor
On Wednesday last the emperor
went alone and unannounced to the
Russian embassy with the diamond
decorations of the Order of.athe Black
Eagle, which he had bestowed upon
Schouvaloff.
William and Mrs. RunyOn.
During the dinner which Emperor
William gave to the diplomatic corps
on Tuesday last his majesty, who was
sitting opposite Mrs Runyon, wife OF
the United States ambassador, ex-
pressed admiration for her splendidly
cut diamonds.
"They are American cut diamonds
yOul uldJSSIy, SetIu MIS-. GluAy vi.
Eyes, 1 notice" rejoined he, smiling
that America is beginning to beat US
in more ways than one"
Baroness Won Schroeder, nee Dono-
hue. of San Francisco, gave a dinner
to Ambassador and Mrs. Runyon OF
Wednesday last and on the following
day Mr.. and Mrs. Runyon entertained
la number of Americans at dinner.
The chances of the passage of The
anti-revolutionary bin have not i'm
proved. The repeal Of the Jesuit law
was authorized by the reichstag bu
the whole government party the Con
servatives, National Liberals anC
Reichs parties, as we'll as the Radi
Gals, opposed the motion and it is like
ly that the bundesrath will again null
lily the reichstag's action. The Cen
trists, therefore, will refuse to- supper
the anti-revolution bill and the
Vorwaerts (SocialisD, already rejoice
over what 1T declares to be the certain
rejection of the measure.
