THE KAISER
Seems PLEASED.
SENTIMENTS OF LOYALTY ARE A
GREAT COMFORT TO
HIM.
NEW CRUISERS FOR GERMANY
IN A BERLIN SCAN
DIAL.


bach, Minister of State, at the annual
banquet in connection with the opening of
the Diet at Brandenburg tonight, said that
the sentiments of loyalty expressed by the
Brandenburgers were doubly valuable in
such difficult times and were comfort and
prop in his thorny office.
These sentiments testify, moreover, the
confidence in their Emperor, a confidence
which implies their willing cooperation
with, and support to, the Crown.
What, however, would most tighten his
task, he said, would be the resolution of
the whole nation to range itself on the
side of the father of the people.
He urged his people to give him active
help in the consideration of the questions
which at present occupy public attention.
These questions related chiefly to the rela-
tive position which husbandry is to hold
in respect to other classes.
He had indicated in recent utterances
how these questions were to be dealt WITH
and he hoped with all his heart that some
permanent improvement might be
achieved. He would work toward that
end with all his strength, but he earnestly
warned the country not to entertain any
extravaganza hopes of any dream of Utopia.
No particular class could claim any
special privileges at the expense of other
classes. In conclusion the Emperor said
that the luster of the age of Frederick
still rests upon to-day He desires
that the recollection of that earnest, simple
minded man Frederick should remind all
that cooperation between a prince and his
people Is safe augury OF success.

though the disease is not of a viruent
type, it peryades all classes of society and
numbers of deaths from the malady are
recorded.
The first step in Germany's apparent
determination to carry out the Emperor's
policy of increasing the number of
cruisers in the navy was taken to-day in
the Reichstag budget committee session,
when extra credits aggregating 100000
marks for four fast cruisers were ap-
proved.
The Government had requested a credit
of 100000 marks for torpedo boats, but
the committee did not agree on this
item. Herr Won Bieberstein made COM
munication to the committee concerning
Germany's present relations with countries
of South America, and afterward stated
his regret at the adoption by the Reichstag
on Saturday last of Count Won Mirbachs
motion for the holding of an international
monetary conference.
A number of public protests against the
anti-revolution bill are now circulating.
One of these protests bears the signature
of large mum bers of female social reformers,
including those of Countess Doulou Won
Dennewitz, Hedwig Won Allen and Lilly
Won Gizicky.
In private audience given on Wednes-
day last by the Emperor to Cardinal
Koppes, Bishop of Luxembourg, his Majesty
declared that he was pleased that a modus
vivendi had at length been arranged be-
tween the Government and the Centrists
He said all religiously inclined men
ought to make a joint front against the
common revolutionary enemy.
Herr Won Koeller, Prussian Minister of
the Interior, strongly condemned the ten
dency of a certain section of the German
drama.
The stage, he said, had in many respects
deteriorated and such plays as 'Die
Weber" should not find place in any the
alter. Herr Won Koeller's speech was
loudly applauded by the members of the
right, but elected protests from the Social
ist members.
A case in which an American woman
named Emma S. Bross is involved is now
pending before the criminal court here
she claims to have been married 10 Count
Perponcher, son of the ex-Chief Court Mar
shall of Emperor William 1, while the
young Count was in America, but that the
marriage was concealed because of family
opposition.
Her alleged husband is now in England
She is charged with having committed
perjury in denying in court her intimacy
with Berlin physician whose wife is now
suing him for divorce.
Miss Bross, or Countess Perponcher, as
the case may be, arrived here from Amer
lea IN December, 1898. She is now in Jail.
She is abont 30 years of age and very hand
some.
