his proper limits and say that the Car
showed much less empressment than his
guest in the shower of German decorations
and favors bestowed upon the Russian
court and other officials. Finally they also
consider it extravagant that there are now
dozen Russians who are chiefs of Prus
sian regiments. The fact that Emperor
William upon several occasions spoke in
Russian, VIII lie the Car used the French
language, is similarly commented upon.
On the other hand the results of the En-
perors visit to St. Petersburg so far as
possible, are what the Emperor wished,
especially as regards Great Britain. Hence
forth that country will find, upon all inn
portant occasions Russia and Germany in
her way. A general understanding to that
effect has been definitely reached, not only
between the two rulers, but between Count
NuraVieff the Russian minister for foreign
affairs, and Prince Hohenlohe, the German
imperial chancellor, and Baron Won Bulow.
1t is GURUS fact L 1T the tone of the
entire Russian press changed during EN-
peror Williams stay at st. Petersburg and
became frankly Anglophobe. The newspa-
pers of Russia which have hitherto been
constantly hostile to Germany, like the
Novo Vremya and the Wyedomosti now
welcome Emperor William as a new ally.
From Duke John Albrecht of Mecklen-
berg, who has just visited Prince Bis
marck, the cores pondent of the Associated
Press learns the Prince disapproves of En-
peror Williams visit to the Car and it's
accompanying features as calculated to
raise hopes in the Russian mind which Ger
many later may be unable to fulfill, espe-
cially in the matter of further Asatic con-
n M n
South Africa and the role played by the
British secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, in recent events,
Prince Bismarck sharply condemns the lat
ter and fears continued British duplicity.
AS to advising the Emperor Prince HOhen-
lobe, the eX-chancelor said: Even with the
best will in the world that is impracticable,
since it is impossible for me to supervise
the proper carrying out of such advice.
Politics are like horseback riding. With
the best advice in the world, a careless
and inexpert rider will be thrown"
Acting upon the advice of Baron Won
Thielman, the former German ambassador
at Washington, who has just been APP
pointed privy councillor and the represent
ative of the imperial chancellor in all the
financial affairs of the empire, the Ger
man government is entering into negotia-
lions with the governments of the other
countries injured by the United States tar
if, especially France and Belgium for the
purpose of effecting an agreement to de-
mand the submission of all disputed points
to a court of arbitration. In Germany's
case the disputed points are mainly the
alleged violation Of existing treaties and
the paying back to the United States treas
ury of the export premiums paid by Ger
many.
AS substitute for the Boerse's report
the central office of the Prussian agricul-
tural chambers begins to publish reports of
the figures of sales effected in thirty Prus-
sian cities as a guide to farmers. The
Nosslche zeitung promptly proved that
these reports are wholly erroneous and
grossly misleading. They do not find favor
even with the agrarians
Further proof of the growth of the par
