the ASsocia ted Press. THE dog days are
over and things are getting lively again
in Berlin. The chancellor, Prince Ho'
henlohe, and the Prussian minister of
the interior, Baron Won Koeller, have
returned. In addition, the emperor ar
rived at Wildplrk station on his return
from England at s o'clock this morning.
His majesty looked remarkably wei and
there is every indication that his yacht
ing and shooting expeditions have i'm

stay couple of days in order to be
present a the ceremony of laying the
corner stone of the monument to the
memory of his grandfather Emperor
William /, which takes place at the
Schloss field tomorrow. The ceremony
will be highly impressive. The German
university students societies will take
part in it with their banners. The en-
peror, later in the day, will be present
at the celebration Of the First Guards
regiment in memory of the battle of
Graye!otte at Potsdam and on that day
the big memorial celebration occurs at
the Templehof field.
Politically, the relations between Ger
many and England have almost monop-
olized public attention and are the oc-
casion for general discussion by the
entire press. This has been brought
about by several editorials in the London
Standard and Daily News, which were
recently distasteful TO Germans. In fact
the Hanover Courier went so far as to
say that the emperor's periodical visits
to England were not approved by the
Nation, as they merely served to increase
British insolence.
An article in the Standard especially,
advising the emperor that his aim ought
10 be TO show himself worthy of his
maternal ancestry, has aroused perfect
storm of indignation. In fact the en-
tire presG has given vent to a violent burst
of Anglophobia with Prince Bismarck's
Hamburger Nachrastin in the van. But
even the official press, including the
North q alman Gazette, has Joined in the
cutlery and there is no doubt that just
now England is the country most hated
by Germans.
The memorial celebrations of the battle
fought against the French in August con-
tinues TO be the order f the day. The
battle of st. Private was celebrated today

The various battle fields are visited by
thousands of veterans and other visitors
and a monument has been erected on the
battle field Of ViOnville in memory of
Prince Frederick Charles. From the
whole of the German empire wreaths and
other decorations have been sent by the
tens of thousands in order to decorate
the graves of the German soldiers upon the
fields. Everything is being done by the
German authorities along the line of the
frontier of France in order to avoid
hostile meetings between French and Ger
mans, and passing the frontier line is
discouraged and not permitted at all in
the case, of large parties or bodies of
men carrying insignia.
The annual pilgrimage of the German
Catholics from the Rhine provinces to
IOurdCs has been forbidden out of def
erence to French pilgrims.
The city council of Berlin has voted
the sum of 10000 marks for a public
celebration of Sedan day, the only mem

of war needlessly undertaken" The
city councils of Cologne, Dresden, Bar
