THE EMPEROR ANGRY.

| VI lillS NlLy ISIlcCl liIc pIllci iSotAlh-
ment felt by Emperor William at the
rejection by the Marquis of Salisbury
of his majesty's personal proposal to
coerce Greece by a joint blockade of
Piraeus and Port Athens by the fleets
of the Powers in order to check the
Warlike demonstrations of Greece.
The Emperor's proposal caused a
great surprise in diplomatic circles, as
| it was generally assumed he would not
oppose the Greek pretensions in regard
| TO Crete, owing to his sister Sophia
being the wife of the Duke of Sparta,
Grown Prince of Greece.
| But it appears there has long been an
estrangement between the Emperor and
his sister, arising from an old-time
quarrel, and his majesty, in addition,
never has been friendly to the royal
family Of Greece.
| In diplomatic circles it is surmised
that Emperor Williams dignity was
| injured in some manner, probably by
the firm attitude assumed by Greece in
| the face of the remonstrances of Ger
many, hence the extreme proposal to
| blockade Piraeus was urged by him
with unusual vehemence through the
ambassadors here, upon the European
| Cabinets.
The Marquis of Salisbury, without
hesitation, promptly declined the EN-
perors proposition, saying that public
opinion in Great Britain would never
acquiesce in such a policy.
The National Zetung" makes direct
charges against the British of attempt
ing to disturb the peace of Europe, and
says:
The immediate future will show
whether the agreement of the Powers
viii be disturbed by manifestations of
separate British interests which prom
ises to raise the veil hitherto shrouding
the origin of the extremely strange
Greek adventure. From the outset we
have been Of the opinion that it was not
so much an attack on Turkey as to
strike a blow at European peace"
