BERLIN, June 12.-Slnce the arrival
here of Admiral Tierpitz, chief of the
navy department, Emperor Williams
plans to increase the strength of the
German navy have been taken up In
earnest. Admiral Tierpitz is reckoned
to be the boldest and most energetic
man in the navy. He is popularity
known as the naval Moltke, and his
ideas and aims respecting the further
development and reorganization OF the
navy are in thorough accord with those
of the emperor, who hopes Admlral
Tierpitz will succeed where Admiral
Won Holman failed, inducing the reich
stag to adopt big naval credits. Inc
emperor intends to have ten big IRON
tlads and sixteen cruisers built by 1900.
Considerable comment has been
aroused by the fact that the emperor
has ordered the Germania shipbuilding
ward to build the very cruisers which
have been rejected by the reichstag.
Admiral Tierpitz is now making a tour
of inspection of the naval squadrons
of Kiel, Wiihelm's Haven, Stettin, Eb-
bling and Dantzig. On his return he
will frame a new naval bill, in which
the necessity Of putting the German
navy on an equal footing with the
navies Of France and Russia will be
fopcibly stated.
3 Great amazement has been caused by
the fact that the emperor, in cabinet
order, has dissolved the national de-
Tense commission, an important mill
tary body created thirty years ago by
his grandfather and Of which Field
Marshal Won Moltke was the head until
his death. He was succeeded by Prince
Albrecht, of Prussia. His majesty's
motive was supposed to be to get rid
of the irksome control Of his plans for
the new Notifications or his alterations
of the existing ones, which required
until recently the decision of the COM
mission.
At a musical soiree at the palace Of
Potsdam on Friday all the guests APP
peared in the uniform or in the court
costume Of 1897, the year Of the birth OF
Emperor William l., in honor of whose
betrOthal. seventy years ago, the fete
was given. A new wedding march,
the words and music of which were by
the emperor. was given, and chorus
of children from the cathedral took
part in it.
1t is now said that Emperor William
himself desires to reform the secret
political police and change the system
listers and the press. This may be due
to the fact that the revelations Of the
Won TauSch trial are still being dis
Cussed and the National Liberals have
decided to question the government
in the diet on the steps which it is in
tended to take to improve the police
system. 1t also appeared that Won
Tauseh is not yet out Of danger. 1t is
fairly certain that he will be tried for
treason, respecting his reported utter
ances about the emperor's health.
AN IRON COTTAGE.
Emperor William has had an iron
cottage erected in the garden OF the
garrison hospital at Heligoland, which
he will inhabit during his stay on that
tsland. The building is thirty yards
long by fifteen yards wide, and con-
sists of a study, bed chamber, bath
room and servants room. There is
small closed veranda painted gray
gneen outside, while relieved by brown
and gilt ornamentation inside. The
Prussian eagle has been made to take
a leading part in the decorations:

The German export merchants Of
Sonnerberg. have formally protested to
Prince Hohenlohe against United
States Consul Particles, requiring
single or triple samples Of the goods

not in accord with his instructions.
