| Berlin, Nov. 22.-The emperor will go
to Kiel tomorrow, for the purpose of
swearing in the recruits collected at that
place, and there is a considerable degree
of expectation that his majesty will, in
the course of his address to the recruits,
make some reference to the recent Incl
dents, impeaching the conduct of military
officers and privates toward civilians. 1t
is most probable, however, that the kaiser
will merely confine himself to a repeti-
ton of the old formulas of exacting allie
glance to himself.
In military circles the story published in
the Berliner Tageblatt, implying that the
address of the emperor to the officers i'm
mediately surrounding him, on the occa-
| ton of the recent swearing in of the
troops in Berlin, was not what it purport-
ed to be, is generally discredited. The
Tageblatts object plainly was to lead it's
readers to believe that the emperor while
pretending to admonish the officers
against a recurrence Of the recently re-
ported outrages upon civilians by officers
really gave them to understand that any
insult to their uniform on the part of civ
ilians, should be promptly and effectively
resented. This, however, is denied by sew
eral of the officers present, who say that
the kaiser simply advised them to avoid
collisions with civilians.
The audacity of the radical and socialist
speeches in the Reichstag, especially
those delivered in the course of the Bruse-
| witz debate by Herren Lenzemann and
Bebel have greatly incensed the emperor
and the government officials generally,
who hold that Baron Won Buel-Berenberg,
president of the Reichstag, ought to have
restrained the opposition from using Ian
guage personally offensive to the emperor
| and his ministers. 1t is reported that the
| emperor, on the eve of his departure for
| Kiel had a protracted conference with
Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancel-
lor, in regard to the position of the va
| rious parties of the Reichstag with a
| view of establishing better control of
| Interpolation debates.
The present party of the center in the
| Reichstag, through the eohension of its
| members and the masterful tact of its
| leaders, dominates the chamber and can
| always, without directly attacking the
government, greatly embaTass the minis
| try. The conservatives and national lib
| althnnQh Of
government, are greatly at a disadvant-
| age in lacking the unificaton and leader
| ship of the centrists.
| The Cologne Gazette, in an article point
| ing out the danger of allowing the Reich
| stag to submit to the mastery tactics of
| the centrists leaders, appeals to the con-
| servaives and national liberals to sink
| their differences upon agrarian and other
| questions and rally to the support of the
| government, which has already been twice
assailed within the first fortnight of the
| present session, through the Vaccinations
| of the centrists upon the questions of the
| Bismarck revelations and the practice of
| dueling in the army. In accordance with
| the latter question committee Of officers
| has been appointed to submit report
upon the regulations of military courts of
| honor, the committee having held three
| meetings since the delivery of Prince Ho-
| henlohe's speech in reply to the radical in
| terpellation on Tuesday. The emperor has
asked the committee to expedite it's work
| and has sent to that body draft of sug
| gestions which 1t is understood embodies
| a recognition of the conscience principle
| laid down by the prince regent of Bava-
| ria who has decreed that officers refusing
| to fight duels upon the ground that they
! are opposed to the principle of duelling,
must not be compelled to resign from the
army as has hitherto been the rule.
The leaders of the radical faction
in the Reichstag are watching the develop
| ments of the matter, and as result have
| reached the conclusion that the instruc-
| tions of the prince regent will not become
strictly operative In any corps of the army
| of Germany, holding that any officer de-
! clining to fight duel though he may not
be formally expelled, will become So
cal outcast.
Herr Rickert, the radical unionist leader,
has announced that upon the occasion of
| the debate on the military estimates he
will again bring up the question of duelling
by moving that any military officer or Off
| cial who shall engage in duel shall be
deprived of his rank and expelled from
the service, and that officers courts OF
| honor shall be abolished.
Gen. Won Waldersee, now i'm command of
the army corps at Hamburg, has been ap-
pointed military governor of Berlin in
place of Gen. Won Loe, whose term OF SER
vice is expiring.
DR.. Koch, governor of the Reichbank,
has submitted to an interview upon the
question as to how the trade of Germany
Is TO be affected by the election of Nc
Kinley as President of the United States.
In answer to this specific question: Dr.
Koch saId eve must wait and see. At
ali events, Mckinley Is lesser evn than
BRYAN. l am hopeful that Mckinley has
abandoned his policy of extreme protec-
ton. but we are not secure from surprises
and we ought to be prepared for them. II
