row for the northern part of Sweden, but
1t is his intention to meet King Oscar
again on his return.
The relations of the King with the ma
jority of the Storthing are again menac-
ing. In the early part of this week the
Storthing will be called upon TO vote the
annual allowances for the King and
Crown Prince. Two years ago the ma
jority showed their hostility to the King
by reducing his majesty's annual allow
ance from SGT, 900 TO 256, 900 kroner, and
the allowance OF the Crown Prince from
$4,000 to $4,000 kroner. The King,
through his Ministers, now demands the
old grant of 366, 900, and contends that II
was IN violation OF the provisions TO re-
duce the royal grant during the LIE
time OF the reigning monarch.
There is very little likelihood that
Norwegians Will admit the validity OF
the Kings constitutional argument.
unless his ajesty aSsents 10 the view OF
the Constitution in regard TO the dlplo-
matte and consular representation or
Norway.
Premier Stang has again gone to the
King asking him to reconstruct the Cab
met, and the state OF affairs Is such that
the King, before he sees the German En-
peror, is likely to go to Chrlstlanla and
make another attempt to construct
coalition Ministry.
The Emperor, before leaving Norway,
will probably sail on board the Hohen-
Zollern to the Gulf OF Finland, where he
will land and proceed to Hernose, and
thence TO Wisby and Borgholm. What
ever serious business engagement the
Emperor and King Oscar may nave had
they do not initiate against the kalser's
open and hearty enjoyment OF this town.
A representative of the I Unlted Press,
with only one other Journalist, has been
privileged TO accompany the Emperor
on his trips from Stockholm to the
various places he has visited, and was
thus enabled to observe the Kaiser frOl-
licking on board the yacht, seemingly OBJ
GviousneSs to every care. and enjoying
each moment with the Zest OF youth, at
the same time making the occasion pleas
ant for those about him.
The officers OF the HOhenZOliern say
that after visiting Borgholin the Emperor
intends 10 return TO German waters.
The Empress had arranged to go to Sass
nitz, on the island OF Rugen, on july
Z0th, with the four younger Princes and
Prlncesses, but she changed her plans
and lett Potsdam for Sassnitz on W ednes-
day. The Emperor Will, without doubt,
visit the Empress at Sassnitz before GO
ing to Cowes to witness The regatta.
The influx of German tourists into
Rugen is SO great that the degree OF quiet
which the Empress desires is likely TO be
broken into by this swarm of visitors
around Sassnltz, BinZ and Stubbenkam-
mer, all of which places are easy of access
from Stettin and SwlnemunG. The
Schloss at Dasidan, whore the Kaiser has
leased a seat, hnds special favor with the
Empress. The Schloss stands upon d
cliff overlooking the sea, three miles
from Sassnitz. The rooms are large and
pleasant. flight of marble steps leads
up to the great hall which is supported
by marble pillars adorned with frescoes.
There is q private means of access from
the cliffs to the sea, and extensive woods
of beeches and tir enhance the secluslon
Of the place. The lease OF the Schloss was
secured in 1894, upon hearing now the
Empress was annoyed or the occasion of
her last visit to Rugen by mob OF Gu
rious visitors
After witnessing the Cowes regatta the
Emperor will spend a week in grouse
shooting in Scotland, and will return to
Berlin in time to lay the foundation stone
of the national monument TO his grand
father, Emperor William l., on August
18th, the anniversary of the battle OF
Gravelotte. The occasion will be one OF
great ceremony. All OF the heads OF
German Federal Governments and the
leading dignitaries of the empire will be
present and ii is expected that the En-
peror will deliver an Oration glOrlfying
the heroes OF 1870.
The celebration of the twenty-fifth
Sedan Day, on September 1st, will be
general in Germany. This will be fol-
lowed by the ceremony OF unveiling the
kaiser's fathers statue by Woerth. The
socialist organizations have adopted con-
current resolutions declaring that they
will take no part in the celebration, but
there are no tears shed over this action.
Two Representatives of the French BIZ
metallic League, Deputy Fourgieril,
Vice Chairman of the league, and NJ.
Thery, the Secretary of that organization,
spent several days in Berlin this week,
and have had q number OF conferences
with Heron kardorh and Mirbach and
DIR. Arendt The mission of the French
gentlemen was to prepare the way for an
international monetary conference, and
the result OF the discussion points TO the
Convenlng OF an International Confer
ence within short time. Herren Kar-
dorff and Mirbach express confidence
that Chacellor Hohenlohe will fulfill his
promise to call such q conference before
the Relchstag again assem- bles, but the
Government officials outside OF the bl-
metallic circle do not believe that Prince
Hohenlohe will be ready to act when the
time comes as his promise indicated.
The chief difficulty will be TO lind
basis of action for the conference which
Will be acceptable to the German Federal
States, nor will the difficulty be sur
mounted when such basis is obtained, as
many of the considerations which would
have to be put forth to meet the wishes of
the German States would involve long
negotiations with the foreign Powers. Ii
Prince Hohenlohe fails To meet the BIZ
metallists, il has been decided by the
latter to call meeting in Berlin on the
initiative of the German Bimetallic
League. The French and English leagues
have already promised TO send delegates.
Another madhouse scandal similar TO
the Maraburg affair has arisen in Bremen
in the Protestant Hospital conducted by
the Rev. Mr.. Bodelschwings. The charges
against the institution are made by Herr
Scheutz, the Director of the Bremen po-
lice, IS the result of an investigation by
DR.. ScholZ, who asserts that he has per-
sonal knowledge that cruelties. even
greater than those practiced upon the
patients in the Maraburg institution,
have been common in the Bremen hospi-
tai for a long time. The managers of the
institution have made energetic denials
of the charges, but the police have laid
formal charges at Scholz's lnStigation,
and demanded public inquiry.
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria has
made his reappearance at Carlsbad, which
circumstance is regarded as indicating
something important concerning the ad-
>ministration at Sofia. 1t is one of the
peculiarities of Ferdinand that when he
is about to alter any OF the rules regula-
tions or customs of the Bulgarian Gov
ernment he Immediately gets out of the
country, leaving his Ministers to face
whatever popular displeasure may arise.
Consequently. whenever he leaves Sofia
il is assumed that there is 10 be another
change, the responsibility for which he
desires to shirk. IL is reported. and gen,
aralIv believed. that he had authorized
