Berlin, Aug. 21.-At the banquet at Will
helmshoehe, in honor of the birthday of
Emperor Francis Joseph, remark #
Emperor William to Gen. Windeschgratz,
the Austrian military attache, crea.ed a
sensation. Lifting his glass, his mai
esty said: -
ri trust that all misunderstanding are
now buried" A-.i.4
This is generally interpreted as refer
ring to recent events and to the Austrian
jealousy created thereby.
During the presence of the king of
Italy at the German military manouvres
a symbolical play, written according to
the instructions and ON an outline fur
uished by Emperor William, will be per-
formed at the royal thea .er Of Wi.sbadsn.
The play will allegorically represent the
determination of Italy and Germany. The
two leading roles are Italia and Ger
mania, and the scenic decorations, which
are gorgeous, are the work of the Vien-
nese painters, Kautzky and Rottenara,
from sketches made by the German en-
peror. The most beautiful tableau will
represent Rome. In this scene the en-
peror found it desirable to make an alter
ation. In the orlgna 1.-The sun was seen
rising directly over st. Peters, the rays
irradiating the whole vicinity and leaving
the Quirinal, the royal residence, in the
shadows. In view of the s1rained rela-
tions between the Vatican and the Quiri-
nal, his majesty ordered the sun in this
scene to be oblbterated.
The Emperor William will attend the
austrian military manouyres, arriving at
Totis on Sept 10, and remaining until
Sept. Is. Then Emperor William and
I L a:r y,

on the preserves of the Archdul1e Freder-
ick Of Austria On Sept 20, the two en-
perors vii proceed ito Buda Pest.
The dissatisfaction at the slowness of
the Prussian and Saxon governments in
giving aid to the sufferers of the recent
floods increases daily. Saxony has only
given &C, 600 marks against 100000 marks
given by the municipality of Dresden
alone. Collection lists circulated by the
Saxon socialists have been seized by the
POllCc anu CoiuSOdtSd.
In Prussia nothing will be done in aid
of the sufferers for months to come. and
the cabinet has decided to aid Silesia only
to the ex- cnt of mending the roads there,
rebuilding the bridges and helping the
owners of farms and agricultural estaltes
whose fields have been previously dam
aged. Private charity. however. is very
active throughout Germany, and dona-
tions are flowing in freely.
Secretary Thilan, 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. ~
The Associated Press correspondent
learns on good authority that it is true
that Emperor William has proposed
new plan of concerted action upon
the part of the continental powers against
anarchists ri and that ne has obtained the
promise of cooperation from majority
