Berlin, July 21.-The emperor is mak- ing the most of his pleasure trip to Swe- den, losing no opportunity to enjoy him self thoroughly. He reached Hernosand on board the imperial yacht Hohenzol- lern, on Friday, and on Saturday took a tripon an excursion steamer up the river Angermal, the loveliest stream in Swe- den. He returned late in the afternoon and enjoyed a dramatic entertainment on board the Hohenzollern in the even ing. His majesty yesterday gave orders to get everything in readint ss on board the Hohenzolern to sail southward inn medately, his trip northward having ended. Throughout his trip he has de- clined to be regarded as state guest. and refused to countenance any public demonstration in his honor. He declined a formal reception at the hands of the authorities, and spent the greater part of the day while there in dlctating dis patches. It is surmised from incidents occurring among his entourage that these dispatches relate in some way to the situation in Bulgaria growing out of the murder of M Stambuloff.
 Whether or not the friendship of the emperor for King Oscar had the effect of impressing the majority in the Swed
  ceeding with caution, it is fact that the tension between the king and the storth- ing has greatly relaxed, and another ef- fort is now being made to form a coali- tion ministry composed chiefly of moder- ates.
 The king is greatly gratifled at finding that his opponents have conceded the royal grants in the shape in which he de- 1nanded them. The only disturbing ru- nor now abroad is that committee of .l.< 4z1.. proposal to the Storthing for an eXtraor- dinary credit for 11,500 kroner for the purpose of buying two ironclad warships three torpedo boats and a quantity of new rifles and ammunition, and the con struction of fortified posts at Toensberg, Christiansand, Bergen and Drontheim. Whether or not these rumors are current in detail there is no doubt that some such project is on foot. In the meantime the radicals are keeping quiet and abid- ing events.
 The recent German and Dutch naval demonstrations at Tangier, which were forced upon both by outrages committed alpon German and Dutch subjects in Mo- rocco, seemed likely to cause a serious quarrel with France. The murder of German trader named RocSskoh and the pluudering of the Dutch brig Marc Anne a short time ago led at first to diploma c representations, which proved to be fu- tile These were followed by the pres

 The Vorsseich Zeitung. replying 10 these articles, called upon the Berlin gov ernment to give a fitting answer to the insolence of France if the question should be raised cially. The German press generally the same tone in regard to the m Official communications thereafter sed between the two gov elnmentS and whether they were in- itiated on the basis of settlement orig mated in Berlin or Paris is not known. nor does it make much difference, hut the French government has repudiated the Debats articles and acknowledged the right of Germany to deal with the Morocco government in her own way, even to the extent of occupying part or her territory. This is complete knuckle down for France, and it is conceded that no sharper or more expeditions diplo- 1natic incident has transpired in recent wears than that conducted on the part of Germany.
 The Cologne Gazette's advices from Tangiers say that the Sultan of Morocco is lying seriously i'll at FeZ, and that there Is small chance that the demands of Germany will be met with for long time to come.
 Prince Frederick of Bulgaria contn- ues to remain at Carlsbad. He is con stantly guarded by large suite, among whom are a number of Russian secret police He tells his adherents almost daily that 1t is his intention to start for Sofia immediately, butfhe does not start. He says the same thing to the visitors he receives at his house, the Villa The resa. in the English quarter. The villa is set among number of large trees and is one of the prettest places in Carlsbad.
 The gardens and parks are alive with Russian and Bulgarian detectives, who are easily spotted inside and outside of the walls surrounding the place. From the time of Ferdinands arrival in Carls- bad on July 10, observant visitors felt that. something startling was impending. It was not only, as stated in these dis patches last week, that his absence from Bulgaria meant that some plot was about to be executed, but his conduct itself ex- cited speculation. On his previous visit to Carlsbad his time was spent on the promenades at the theatres and in the indulgence in whatever gaiety there was going on. Upon this occasion he has been almost invisible He is never seen on the promenades, and he did not go to the springs as he always had done before. He was known to go out early in the morning, when he would go to cafe in the suburbs and sit there moodily. sur rounded by his suite. His every attitude and action suggested that he was await ing news of some event. After the mur- der of Ex-Premier Stambuloff his be- havior suddenly and ostentatiously changed. As the reports received linked him with the crime and attributed his unwonted seclusion to his fear that he wonld be asaa assInated. he has made his
