by the Associated Press. I'm well inform
ed circles there is an Impression that the
visit of Emperor William to Vienna was
not such success in Strengthening the
friendship between Austria and Germany
as expected. 1t is asserted that En-
peror Francis Joseph and his cabinet are
piqued at the length of Emperor William S
stay in Italy and the mutual effusion dis
played there The question of the future
German support of the Austrian Balkan
policy was repeatedly preached, without
eliciting satisfactory German assurances
and a thorough understanding on the
subject between Count Badeni and Prince
Hohenlohe was not aftected: Inc Gus
trian minister for foreign affairs, Count
Goluchowski, and all the minor Austrian
officials received a German decoration, but
Count Badeni the premier, did not. An
other question left unadjusted is that of
the
BRITISH-GERMAN RELATIONS
The German press has had an outburst
of temper owing to an article IN the
Morning Post of London, which is con-
sidered offensive to Germany and the gov
eminent, it is said, in spite of Austria s
wishes, is determined to pursue policy
in South Africa dictated by its own in
terests entirely until Great Britain is
brought to her senses. Herr Horn, the
German representative, has received
minute instructions in view of the latest
developments in South Africa.

Oscar Kauffmann's book makes public
some curious details regarding
THE PRIVATE LIFE
of the imperial family. 1t appears that
the emperor contracts with his chief
butler for meat at so much per head. An
ordinary dinner costs less than two col
lars a plate, exclusive of wine, but on
festive occasions the cost of dinner
varies from s. to $40. The emperor usually
has three meals daily, meat breakfast,
a hot lunch and a six course dinner, the
latter being always disposed of under an
hour On the menu are hook, Bordeaux
and champagne daily as table wines and
the cellars of the schloss hold 1000 bottles
of fine wines and 1900 casks of other
wines and liquors.

BETRAYAL OF BUSINESS SECRETS

injure their employers or compete with
them. The diet also declined to accept
the paragraph by which editors of news
papers were to be held responsible for
fraudulent or deceptive advertisements

were aware that the advertisements were
deceptive.
