GOSCHEN'S BAD BREAK.
That Speech at Leeds Causes a
Consultation With the
Ministers.
GERMANY's ANGER INCREASED.
Ovations to the Raiders of the Trans
vaal Not Considered Just
the Proper Thing.


Ierie to-day to consult with Prince Hohen-
lobe upon the subject of the speech re-
Gently delivered at Leeds by the Right
Hon. George ]. Goschen, First Lord of the
British Admiralty, in which he made al
lusions to the Kaiser which were calcu-
lated to exasperate his Majesty. Accord
ing to the semi-official newspapers and
semi-official opinion otherwise expressed
Mr.. Goschen purposely went out of his
I"way to make unjust insinuations against
the Emperor, and it is stated upon the
most reliable authority that the Kaiser has
strong hopes that sound sense will soon
prevail in England and that the people
and statesmen of that country will not
allow themselves to be landed into an un-
tenable position.
Nothing can be learned from an official
source as to the foundation for the report
that more friendly feeling between Ger
many and England has been brought
about and the truth of the suggestions is
generally doubted. Indeed nobody who
keeps himself informed upon political
questions gives the idea any credence.
Baron Won Hammerstein-Loxten Min
lister of Agriculture, and DR.. MIGUEL,
Minister of Finance, were the guests of
the Emperor Wednesday evening, upon
which occasion his Majesty was in ex-
cellent health and spirits and in an ex-
ceptionally good conversational mood.
The Kaiser talked upon all subjects of
current politics and dwelt especially upon
the recent agrarian meeting held at the
Circus Busch. The Kaiser deplored the
attitude assumed by the more extreme
agrarians who by their conduct and intem-
perance of speech, he said, had inflicted
great damage upon their own cause.
Virulent language, he said, was not con-
vincing argument, and-no self-respecting
Government would allow itself to be
| bullied upon any line of pure party
action. The Ministers who were the
Emperor's guests concurred in his
Majesty's views, and the Kaiser added
that the executive head OF the Govern
ment would not be deferred by agrarians
or socialists or any other faction or party
IN his pursuit of desirable reforms for the
whole country.
Although the demonstrations which
were made in London upon the occasion
of the arrival and subsequent arraignment
in court of DR.. Jameson were not unex pected
here-indeed, they were fully expected
they have, nevertheless, made the worst
possible impression upon the general pub
lie and in official circles, especially in
view OF the fact that not only a mob of the
riffraff of the London populace, but
| recognized leaders Of society joined in the
popular laudation of the man who is re-
garded in Germany, and whom Germans
believe ought everywhere be treated, as
freebooter and an outlaw. The authori-
ties of the German Foreign Office are un-
able to see why Cecil Rhodes is allowed to
go free, without trial and even without ac-
cusation, returning to South Africa. as
they believe, to prepare the way for fresh
trouble in the TransvaaI. = 500
The German press is again being treated
in very odd fashion by the authorities of
the Reichstag. The twenty fifth ami
versary of the first assem- bling of that body
in 1871 will be celebrated by grand BAN
quet in the hall of the Reichstag on March
81. The membe of the press were not in
vited to the banquet, but the conductors
of the newspapers were told that they
might find room in some gallery from
which they could look on. The Volks
Zeitung in resenting this slight publishes
stinglng article in which it calls upon
the whole German press to ignore the
banquet in their columns, and practically
to go On strike unless the representatives.
of the press are received in an honorable
manner.
The Vossische Zeitung, in an article COM
menting upon the charge made by the
English newspapers that Germany had in
spired the Sultan to demand that England
should evacuate Egypt, makes categori-
cal denial of the charges, and traces their
origin to plans formulated by the Sails
bury Government, which seeks to nourish
British hatred of Germans.
Mrs. Burmester Peterson of Baltimore
gave her first piano concert at KrolIs'
Theate1 this evening in the presence of
large and distinguished audience. Princess
Frederick-Leopold, sister to the Empress.
warmly congratulated the artist upon her
technique, and her numerous friends
almost overwhelmed her with floral offer
ings as well as oral congratulations.
Hon. Edwin Uhl, the newly appointed
ambassador of the United States Govern
ment to Germany, is expected to arrive
here March Ii.
Lieutenant Colonel Ludlow, military
attache to the United States Empassy in
London, who returned few days ago from
Kiel, at the invitation of the Emperor, is
receiving every facility at the disposal of
the military authorities in the pursuit of
his mission to inspect the Baltic North Sea
canal, and Is also the recipient of the
exceptional courtesy and honor of being
permitted to inspect the artillery drills,
the military school, and. in fact, all of the
details of the German army.
Herr Singer, one of the leaders OF the
Socialist party in the Reichstag, has pur-
chased the business of the Verwaerts, the
principa! socialist organ, and has ap-
pointed Herr Richard Fischer, also
member of the Reichstag, as the respoD-
sible editor and manager of the paper
AT the grand court reception held at
the palace short time ago Mrs. Jackson,
