KRONRATH OF THE KAISER.
The Council Very Important-BerIin
View of the Cars Tour.

Berlin, Oct. 10.-The Kronrath. or crown
council, which was held at Hubertuss+ool,
on Wednesday, at the summons Of the
kaiser, who is spending a hunting sea-
son at that place, was a very imnorta M
event, inasmuch as it formulated the pol-
icy of the government in regard to the
legislation which is to be submitted to the
RelchStag at the next session of that
pody Which will begin on Nov. TO- Such
council is very rare, only two having
been held since 1880, when a Kronrath
preceded the dissolution of the Reichstag
anu the resignation of Prince Bismarck
from the imperial chancellorship.
1t is learned by the Southern Associated
Press that the council held this week at
Hubertusstock, was summoned by the en-
peror at the direct instance of Prince Ho-
henlohe, who believes that the gravest is
sues depend upon the coming session of the
helchstag. The ministers who attended the
council were unanimous in the belief that
the present Reichstag will refuse to grant
the naval credits which the emperor
wants, but they differed as to the expe-
cheney OF dissolving that body. This Reich
stag will expire by limitation in 1898 and
many of the ministers were in favor OF
waiting and allowing the house to die a
natural death. The council agreed to con-
vert the German four per cent. bonds into
e@AANs
The reply of the car to the address of
President Faure at the banquet given in
honor of the Russian emperor in Paris
was wired in full to the kaiser, who made
no effort to conceal his irritation upon
learning that the words precious bonds"
were authentic, and had actually been
used by the czar in referring to the
friendship of Russia for France, thus al
lowing the existence of no doubt that an
alliance stronger than a mere entente
had been concluded between Russia and
France. 1t is now very doubtful whether
the emperor will meet the czar at DARN
stadt and Homburg. The Russian am
bassador to Germany, Count Won Osten-
Sacken, declares that he has not known
of the existence of any alliance between
Russia and France.
The crown council held in Hubertusstock
may result in a changed cabinet and this
possibility is causing a great deal of un-
easiness in official circles.
Observing the grand reception given to
the czar in Paris, German newspapers,
like the Berlin Post, have tried to boy
colt the Partisan events of the last few
days, describing the journals which print
ed the speeches and accounts of the fetGs
in full as sensation mongers."
The National Zeitung says that Ger
many looks without either hate or love
upon the most remarkable spectacle that
mas ever been Witnessed namely, that OF
a republic worshipping an alien autocrat
as a national hero.
The Hamburger Correspondent an off,
cial organ, admits that the cars toasts
upon the occasion of his entertainments
in Paris are much warmer than those
given by him in Vienna or Breslau, which
fact, the paper adds, cannot wen be ig-
nored. The Bismarckian journals sug-
gest that If Prince Bismarck were chan
cellor Germany would not now witness the
virtual transfer of the center pivot of Eu-
ropean politics from Berlin to Paris
German exporters are generally con-
WINGED that Mckinley will De elected Pres
ident of the United States, and that a
high tariff in America will follow. Dr.
Barth, the German economist, and MEM
Der of the Reichstag, who is now in the
United States, for the purpose of study
ing the Presidential campaign on behalf
of the Deutsche bank, wired this week
to the managers of the bank that there
was no doubt that Mckinley would be
elected.
The Berliner Tageblatt, in an article,
in to-days issue, said: Mckinley and
republican House of Representatives
may be at their hottest for a high tariff,
but the silver Senate will oppose them or
handicap them with a silver rider which,
in turn, will be rejected by Mckinley.
Therefore, there is little danger that the
American custom tariff will be altered for
the next few years"
