With the Capitai-Press Comments
ON United States Political Situation.
Berlin, July 5.-The emperor, before
starting on his months tour OF the North
Seas, on July /, gave orders, which are
unusual with his ma ajesty upon such oc-
| casions, that wire communication with
| Berlin should be kept intact throughout the
route which he had mapped out for his
trip, and also gave Instructions that in
the event OF his going tn any point which
| was not linked In the telegraphic circuit
reaching Berlin dispatch boat should he
sent to that point with dispatches and
for the purpose -of conveying return COIN
mum cations to the neares st telegraph
| station to be wired to Berlin.
Besides Count Philip Won Gutenberg.
German ambassador to Austria. the kaiscr's
suite is composed of Admiral Won Senden-
Bibran, chief OF the marine cabinet; the
deputy chief of the military cabinet, Count
Won MOltke; Court Marshal Baron Won
Lyncker; Count Cortland Won Hulsen and
Aides s-de- Camp Won Kessel, Won scholl,
Won Arnim and Won Moltke.
No repOse is expected by any of the
ministers during the tour of the kaiser
except in the case OF the head OF the hume
department. In which affairs are quieter
than in any other branch or the government
service.
On the other hand. the foreign office is
in a state OF anxiety over the Developments
in Macedonia and Crete. The Kreuz Zei-
tung,- usually well informed upon official
matters and particularly those connected
with the foreign department, claims to
know upon authority that the foreign Of
flee is chiefly concerned in the situation
in Macedonia. and that the alliance Of
Servia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria, under
the approval Of Russia, means Russia's de-
sertion Of the Iorte.
WILL CHECK AUSTRIA. @
If. the Kreuz Zeitung adds, the rising
In Macedonia should become general. it
will check Austria's long prepared ad
vance to Salonica, which port the Austro-
Hungarian government has coveted pos
session Of for years, aud this would be
likely TO involve war.
The officially inspired press In Berlin
touch the matter with u great deal Of
dffdence- The Vienna FIemdenblatt.
an Official organ, however, declares in an
article in its issue OF yesterday that all Of
the powers are desirous that the trouble
In Crete shall he settled Il once. all OF them
being aware that a general upheaval in
that island would lead to the Lreasing up
of the Turkish empire.
Therefore. the Fremdenblatt continues,
status quo at all hazards. The paper adds
that neither union of Crete with Greece,
nor the granting of autonomy to the
island. as claimed by the Cretan Radicals.
will receive the assent bf the powers.
The Ynssiche Zeitung has received ad-
vices saying that the Turkish warships in
Creian waters are totally impoteDt to
prevent the landing of expeditions from
Greece and narrates the capture of the
Turkish torpedo boat Elder by party
OF thirt five Cretans. ss.. ~. -.st ,--
The Elder which was built at Dantzig
for the Turkish government. was capable
Of developing a speed OF twenty-five miles
an hour. She was surprised during the
night by the band OF cretans. who killed
all Of her crew except one Of her engineers.
THE EMPERoR's SPEECH.
The empercr's speech on the occasion OF
the launching Of the new German battle
ship, Kaiser Friedrich III, at Wilhelm
staven last Wednesday, has met with an
echo Of hearty approval throughout the
empire. which foresha dows popular assent
to a large increase OF the German navy, one
of the kaiser's desires.
The Tagebiatt, in an article upon this
subject. expresses belief that the Reich.
stag will certainly vote to grant tue re-
quisite amount of money to create a power
ful navy and thus satisfy tie wishes OF
the emperor.
THE vorwaerts, the organ OF the Social
lists. sneers at the emperor's speech. par
ticuiarly at his references to his grand
father, Kaiser wilhelm l. The paper de.
nies the eInperor's assertion that the old
kaiser was adored by the people. and de-
ciares that the Socialists especially have
reason to recolect the black shadows
which clouded the reign of that monarch.
In view OF the aUdaCious tone OF the
vor waerts' article 1t is not surprising
that the ministry OF justice refuses to en-.
tertain the appeal OF tile Socialist, Herr
Kunert. who was recently elected to the
Reichstag from Halle. for an abridgemeDt
OF the term of imprisonment which he is
now undergoing.
Herr Kunert. as editor OF the Vorwaerts,
was sentenced to prison for obtaining and
publishing a copy OF the imperial decree
OF amnesty issued upon the occasion of
the twenty.fifth anniversary OF the foun-
dation OF the empire in advance Of the Of
ficial publication Of the document.
The liberal and single standard news
papers express themselves as satisfied with
McKinley's sound money declaration en-
bodied in the platform adopted by the
Republican national convention in st. Louis.
M'KINLEY'S NOMINATION..
The yossische Zeitung, despite its fears
that there may be further high profession
legislation in the United States, halls the
nomination of Mckinley as welcome
deiiycrance from many worse things which
could have happened. -
The Tageblatt prints homily upon
American politics IN which 1t declares that
the American corrupt plutocracy and the
system OF professional politics are bring
ing the United States to ruin, concluding
by saying: at will be well If gold shall
win the day."
Hon. Edwin F. Uhi, United States am
bassador TO Germany. and Mrs. Uhi. have
