! BERLIN June 5.-SeveraI unusual
features accompanied the great spring
! parade on the Templehoff grounds last
! Tuesday. BY the rigorous police rule
| barring all traffic from the streets leading
to the Tempehoff. the public was virtually
| excluded from this sight, which for many
| years has been a popular diversion. The
! orders were brutally carried out by the po-
| lice, many persons being kicked and injured
on the field. The number OF carriages was
much smaller than usual The Emperor
| and Empress while going to and coming
! from the field We're not once cheered by the
popuIace, which was in a very ugly mood,
! as the police policy attributed TO the
! EmperOr's orders. Several persons in the
! dense crowd hooted the Emperor, which
was instantly answered by the police forci-
! bly, dispensing the JhrOng and arresting
score of people. The Empress was pale and
nervous and was so affected by all this
! that she suffered from violent headache
and insisted on returning to the castle the
| Emperor therefore stopping the parade be-
| fore it was half finished. In the jostle on
leaving the TempIehoh the Empress was
again badly scared. Women of the lower
| classes suddenly appeared at her horses
! head, and with threatening gesture one
! of the women threw a petition in the face
| of the Empress. In the turmoil which en-
! sued her Majesty lost u unique decoration
| conferred on her by Queen Victoria and
| composed of the Queens enameled portrait
| set with big diamonds.
The Empress was present at the parade
! on horseback in white riding habit of the
| pattern of the uniform of the Queens own
! Pomeranian Cuirassiers and wearing Il
! triple peak white cockade hat of the old
! Bayreuth Dragons. Across her breast she
wore the broad orange band OF the Order
! Of the Black Eagle.
| The newspapers all condemn the severe
| police measures adopted in excluding the
! people from such occasions, and contrast
! them with the course under Emperors- VIII
! liam 1 and Frederick III. Among the in
! vited spectators at the parade were United
| States ambassador UhI and his family and
| Gen. John w. Foster, the United States
sealeries commissioner, and Mrs. Foster
| Mr.. Foster while on his way to Russia
| stopped four days in this city and was
! given reception by Mr.. Uhl, which was
! attended by q number of diplomats form
| erly stationed in Washington.
The result of the Won Tausch trial (the
|
! political police amounts to q defeat of the
! minister of foreign affairs, Baron MarschalI
! Won Bieberstein, as the case is popularity
| regarded as a duel between Baron Mar
| schall and the first commissioner of police,
! and the discharge of Won Tausch is certain
| to be used against the foreign minister 1t
! is generally expected that the latter's fur
| Tough of two months is a prelude to his res

minister for foreign affairs Tor precipitat-
! ing this gigantic scandal. there was
/ stormy scene between the Emperor and
/ Won Bieberstein on Tuesday. The Liberal
! newspapers express the opinion that the
trial will have good effect and render such
actions of the police as those exposed i'm
possible in the future. Herr Richter in
| does not believe Baron Marschal will be
dismissed, because, he explains, Prince Ho-
henlohe's resignation is bound to follow.
A new and important political office has
been created, that of political commits
sioner, whose province it is to watch and
| influence by all possible means political
! feeling in disaffected districts, such the
! Polish provinces, the Reichsland and
! northern Schleswig-Holstein. Four such
commissioners have been appointed at
Dantzic Koenigsberg, Posen ana Breslau.

Another serious difference, almost
amounting to a quarrel has arisen between
Emperor William and his brother, Prince
Henry of Prussia, said to be due to the
attitude of his Majesty towards Great
