BERLIN, GERMANY, July 12.-With the
departure of the Imperial family from
Potsdam, there has been a general flight
from Berlin of official, court and society
dignitaries and leaders. The Emperor
has not permitted some of the Ministers
to leave their posts as yet, and has re-
quested Freiherr Marschal Won Bieber-
stein, Minister of Affairs, DR.. MIGUEL,
Minister OF Finance, and DR.. Won Boet-
ticher, Imperial Secretary of State for the
Interior, to keep in touch with him by
telegraph, The minor officials, however,
are free TO go wherever they please, and
the consequence Is that the various de-
partments of the Government bear list
less and solitary aspect.
The group OF court danes remaining as
the encourage of the Empress together
with the Crown Prince William and his
brother, Prince Etal Frederick, who re-
Gently came home from Ploen. where they
have been at school, kept the circles of
the new palace lively until Thursday
when the Empress and her family left for
the schloss at Wilhelmshohe. The Kals-
crime, accompanied by the Princess of
Russo, the Princess of Hohenzollern,
Prince Asibert and Princess Won Anhalt,
every day and had their luncheon on an
island in the river. There were also in
formal musical parties in the evening and
sometimes the elder of the young prin-
cesses would be permitted to give an early
supper party. During the day the prin-
cesses were compelled TO confine them
selves for limited time to their studies.
The observance OF this progra NINE lasted
I q a
parture OF the Empress and her children
for Wilhelmshohe, where they will remain
until the Emperor returns TO Berlin from
the trip he is taking in the northern seas
and reioins the imperial family, which he
will do early in August.
The scattering of the whole of the great
world OF Berlin has seemed opportune for
authors OF libeluus pamphlets to try the
credulity of the public by issuing a bro
chure containing pseudo revelations OF
court scandals. Under initials which in
dictate the names of the personages impli-
Gated in the scandals the authors of the
pamphlets rehash the old stories which
were published long ago, many of which
have since been repeatedly shown to be
untrue.
Won kotZe's wife. who is staying at Ed
mansdorn as the guest OF the Princess OF
SAKE einingen, knows nothing of the
pamphlet, and others of Won Kotze's
friends declare that the publication of the
stories were not authorized by him. The
police are prohibiting the sale of the
| pamphlet.
With Prince Lobanoff- Rostovsky, Rus
sian Minister of For ign Affairs, in Swift
zerland, where he will go this week from
| st. Petersburg; Prince Hohenlohe. the
German Chancellor, at his chateau at Alt
les-Bains, for which place he is about TO
start for three weeks soiourn, after
which he will go TO Copenhagen for an
other three weeks stay; the Gear on the
eve of visiting the European CAPITALS and
all of the leading diplomats contemplating
holidays, there will pc pause in the de-
velopments on the situation in the East,
as might be expected.
