THE GERMAN EMPEROR, By His Public Appearance and
 Ill-Timed speech AT BRANDENBURG DINNER, Has Created a Stir In the Reichstag- Vienna Visit
 Commented Upon.
AT BRANDENBURG DINNER,

BERLIN, March 2.-Emperor William s public appearances and speeches are caus- ing Chancellor Prince Hoheniohe The same anxiety and discomfort that they occasoned his predecessor. The rejection of the tor pedo boat appropriation Tn the rechstag is due directly to his majesty's speech at the dinner of the Brandeuburg diet. The agrarans were angered by the reouff he admin tered on that otc,sion. They re- solved to get even and they did it by clip ping his naval plan.
 Politicians oi all other parties also have lad much fault to find with the Braden- burg speech, not so much on account of it's sentiments as because of it's inconsistency with the enpeIor's previous acts. They grant that his rebuke 10 the agrarians was wise, and that the government must hold to the commercial treaties; but why then, they ask, was it necessity to dismiss Count vop Capriv?
 The policy to which the emperor clings in defiance of the aerarians was Caprivi's. It was enforced by him with the ail of the deputies on the leit-liberals-and social democrats. By the dismissal of Caprivi awd the summoning discretionary tory and protectionist ministers his majesty alien sted all thus support and placed the government at the mercy of tDe agrarian conservatives anu tDe clericals. All of Chancellor Prince Hohen- lohe's statements at tie openlng Of the ses- sion were framed with view of getting their support. He has had the greatest difficulty in rallying majority 10 pass the antl-socialist bill. Now hTs efforts hays loquacity aud his thoughtessness in of- lending he men into whose hands he has delivered himself.
 The Vossiche z -i,ung is content, and the taIr and Earth, are pleased with the prospect of a return to Csprivi's tariff policy. The radicals h sympathy with Richter and his journals approve the emperor $ utterances, put protest that such cratic changes or policy must ultimately prevent men of in- dependent judgment from becoming min isters.
 Emperor Williams journey to Vienna this week has excited much comment. It is understood that Emperor Francis Joseph did not desire his presence and intended to be himself the sole chief mourner at the Archdnke AIbrecht's funeral. The Arch duke's brother-in-law, Prince Luitpold of Bavaria, absented himself for that reason from the funeral. Moreover, Emperor William left the official apartments at the Hoffburg to stay with his intimate friend, Count Philip Zuenburg, the German ann bassador. It is believed they mingled an unusual amount of policies with his mourning and coincidence at the Austrian court.
 The inner circle of the council of state, staatsrath, has been summoned 10 meet ing on March 12. The official programme coutemplates three main topics-lhe best means of fixing grain prices with view to increasing them eventually; the railway freight rates and their regulation 10 suit the needs of the farmers; the solution Of the sugar crisis.
