When Germany occupied the port OF
Kiaou-C Chou the other day an European
diplomat made the significant reSark
"the partition of China has begun" 1t
looks that way. Russia has taken pos
session OF Port Arthur, one of the largest
naval stations of the Chinese during the
war with Japan. That trouble OF some
nature is anticipated is evidenced by the
fact that the United States government
has despatched two vessels TO Chinese
waters. In che meantime Emperor Will
lam Is talking in an excited manner and
fomentlng more or less trouble at home,
and In some instances making himself
ridiculous by high sounding phrases that
degenerate into mock heroics. He has
worked himself up to such pitch that
grave apprehensions are entertained as
TO his sanity. Ills recent utterances
about HayG were sufficient to cause
some doubts about his mental balance.
The spectacular arrangements attend
ing the departure of his brother, Prince
Henry at Kiel for China has afforded
Europe further speculatIons as TO his
state OF mind. on this occasion II was
conjectured that Prince Henry had the
same megacephalous atlllctlon as his I'M
perIal master. but the press dispatches
have revealed the truth OF the matter,
me mystery IS explained by the Berlin
correspondent of the London papers, who
telegraphed that the Kaiser fearing that
Prince Henry would no; do justice TO the
situation in the requisite strain Of hyper
bole, wrote the speeches himself before
hand and compelled his brother to COM
NIT them to memory. The comment of
the German>pres on these Wild utter
ances shows keen resentment at the
ridlculc cast upon the Fatherland by the
emperor's extravagan; performances.
! The speech of Prince Henry that pro-
voked these comments was as follows:

His latest offense against good taste

was part of recent lecture he delivered
In Chicago. In the course of his address
he praised General Lee Unfortunately,
claiming him as an equal Of Gustayus
Adolphus, Napoleon, Wellington and
VINO Moltke, He also asserted that the
cause for which Lee fought "Is not the
lost cause so much as is suspected. All
