BERLIN, Aug. 21.-At the banquet
at Wilhelmshohe, in honor of the BIRTH
day of Emperor Francis Joseph, re-
mark of Emperor William to Gen. Win
deschgraetz, the Austrian military at
tache, created sensation. Lifting his
glass, his majesty said:
81 trust that all MISUNDERSTANDING
are now buried"
This is generally interpreted as re-
ferring to recent events and to the
Austrian jealousy created thereby.
During the presence of the king Of
| Italy at the German military manue-
| vers, a symbol play written, according
to the instructions and on an outline
furnished by Emperor William will be
performed at the Royal theater, of
| Wiesbaden. The play will allegorically
| represent the determination of Italy
and Germany. The two leading roles
are Italia and Germania, and the scenic
! decorations, which are gorgeous, are
! the work of the Vienese painters, Kau-
tZky and ROttenara, from sketches
made by the German emperor The
most beautiful tableau will represent
Rome. In this scene the emperor found
it desirable to make an alteration In
the original the sun was seen rising
directly over Peters, the ray irradiat-
ing the whole vicinity and leaving the
Quirinal or royal residence in the
shadow. In view of the strained re-
lations between the Vatican and the
Quirinal, his majesty ordered the sun
in this scene to be obliterated

Totis, on Sept. II and remaining there
! until Sept. Is. Then Emperor William
and Emperor Francis Joseph will pro-
coed to Mohacs, to hunt stays and wild
boars on the preserves of the Archduke

SLOW TO AID.
The dissatisfaction at the slowness of
the Prussian and Saxon governments
in giving aid to the sufferers from the
floods increases daily. Saxony has only
given $4,000 marks, against 100000
marks given by the municipality Of
Dresden alone. Collection lists circu-
lated by the Saxon socialists have been
seized by the police and confscated.
In Prussia nothing will be done by the
months to come, and the cabinet has
decided to aid Silesia only to the extent
of mending the roads there, rebuilding
| the bridges and helping the owners of
farms and agricultural estates whose
! fields have been previously damaged.
! Private charity, however, is very ac-
| tive throughout Germany, and dona-
! tions are flowing in freely.
| Secretary Thielen, of the agricultural
| department, and his committee of gov
! eminent officials, have finished their in
| spection of SileSia and will submit to
| the diet a plan to effectively regulate
| the water courses of the mountain dis
| trictS so as to prevent a Recurrence
| Of the floods:
Confederation Of the cable dispatch
to the Associated Press, saying that
Baron Won Buelow, the German am
| bassador at Rome, will succeed Prince
Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, has
been furnished by high state official.
According to the latter the emperor is
fully decided to make the change and
only the precise moment of doing it is
| undecided: but in no event will it be
long delayed Prince Hohenohe is
now resting at his estate in Russia
and is not expected back in Berlin
until September.

crown order of the second class upon

many years prisoner of the Mahdi in
the Soudan, who was attached to the
intelligence department of the Anglo
Egyptian army in the advance upon

Owing to the absence of the Prince
of Wales. Homburg, this season, is
much less gay than usual and there
is a notable dearth there of prominent
Americans. The Prince of Wales
choice of an Austrian resort, Marien-
bad, is said to be entirely due to the
GOODNESS between the prince and EN-
peror William, and the tradesmen of
Homburg are seriously concerned
