BERLIN, Aug. 2l.-At the banquet at
Wilhelmshohe in honor of the birthday of
Emperor Francis Joseph, a remark of EN-
peror William to General Windsschgratz the
Austrian military attache, created a sensa-
tlon. Lifting his glass, his majesty said:
II trust that all MISUNDERSTANDING are now
buried This is generally interpreted as
referring to recent events and to the Aus
trian jealousy created thereby.
During the presence of the king of Italy
at the German military maneuveIs, a sym
bolical play, written according to the in
structions and on an outline furnished by
Emperor William, will be performed at the
royal theater of Wiesbaden. The play will
allegorically represent the differentiation Of
Italy and Germany. The two leading roles
are Italia and Germania, and the scenic
decorations, which are gorgeous, are the
work Of the Viennese painters, Kautzky and
Rottenara. from sketches made by the Ger
man emperor. The most beautiful tableau
will represent Rome. In this scene, TIE en-
peror found 1t desirable to make an altera-
ton. In the original, the sun was eeen
rising directly over St. Peters, the rays radi-
dAli6 ~ hLolN NAA.t "H' N"'''o 49,
quirinal, or royal residence, in the shadow.
In view of the strained relations between
the vatican and the quirinal, his majesty
ordered the sun in this scene to be OBJ
liberated.
Emperor William will attend the Austrian
military maneuvers, arriving at Totis on
September u, and remaining there until
September Is. Then Emperor William and
Emperor Francis Joseph will proceed to
Mohacz, to hunt stays and wild boars on
the preserves of Archduke Frederick of Aus
tria. On September 90 the two emperors
will proceed to Buda Pesth.
CHARITY is SLOW.
The dissatisfaction at the slowness of the
Prussian and Saxon governments in giving
state aid to the sufferers from the recent
floods Increases daily. saxony has only
| given 10000 marks, against 300. 1000 marks
given by the municipality of Dresden alone.
Collection lists circulated by the SaXons and
socialists have been seized by the police and
coniscated, In Prussia nothing will be done
by the government in aid of the sufferers for
months to come, and the cabinet has decided
| 10 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 seriously dam
! aged. Private charity, however, is very ac-
! tive throughout Germany, and donations are
flowing in freely. Secretary Thielen of the
Agricultural department, and his committee
of government officials, have finished their
| inspection OF Si!esia, and will submit TO the
Diet a plan to effectively regulate the water
| courses of the mountain districts, so as 10
| prevent a recurrence of the floods.
TO REGULATE ANARCHISTS.
The Associated press correspondent learns
on good authority that it is true that EN-
] peror William has proposed a new plan OF
concerted action upon the part of the con
tinental powers against anarchists, and that
he had obtained the promise of cooperation
from a majority of them. The plan includes
a uniform system of watching all those who
are known to hold destructive Ideas, a moro
effective interchange of observations and a
better system of Identification.
Confederation OF the cable dispatch to thu
Associated press, saying that Baron Vol
Bulow, the German ambas ador at Rome
will succeed Prince Hohenlohe, the imperia
chancellor, has been furnished by a higl
state official. According TO the latter, tn
emperor is fully decided TO make the chang,
and only the precise moment of doing 1t /
undecided. but in no event will It be lont
delayed. Prince Hohenlohe is now resting
at his estate in Russia, and is not expected
back in Berlin until September.
