Berlin, Aug. 21.-At the banquet at
Wilhelmshoehe honor of the birthday
of Emperor AlAncis Joseph, remark
Emperor William made to General Wind
eschgraetz, the Austrian military attache,
! created a sensation. Lifting his glass,
his majesty said:
Il trust that all MISUNDERSTANDING are
now buried" This is generally interpre-
ted as referring to recent events and to
he Austrian jealousy created thereby.
During the presence of the
King of Italy at the Ger

play written according to the instructions
and on an outline furnished by Emperor
William will be performed at the Royal
theater at Wiesbaden. The play will al
egorically 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 Viennese painters;
KautZky and Rottonara, from sketches
made by the German Emperor. The most
beautiful tabIeaux will represent Rome
In this scene the Emperor found it desir-
able to make an alteration. In the origi-
nal the sun was seen rising directly over
St Peters, the rays irradiating the whole
vicinity and leaving the QuiIinal, 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 obliterated.
Emperor William will attend .he Au-
strian military manoeuvre6, arriving at
Totis on September II and remaining
there until September 10. Then Emperor
William and Emperor Francis Joseph
viii proceed to Mohacz to hunt stays
and wild boars on the preserves of the
Archduke Frederick, if Austria. On
September 20 the Emperors will proceed
to Budapest.
The disc ,sfaction at the slowness of
the Prusslan and Saxon governments in
giving state aid to the sufferers from the
recent FOODS increases daily. Saxony has
only given 10000 marks, against 100000
marks given by the municipality of
Dresden alone. Collection lists circulated
by the Saxon Socialists have been seized
by the police and confscated
In Prussia nothing will be done by the
government in aid of the sufferers for
months to come, and the cabinet has de-
cided to aid Silesia only to the extent of
mending the roads there, rebuilding the
bridges and helping the owners of farms
and agricultural estates wh Sc fields
have been previously damaged.
Private charity, however, is yer. active
throughout Germany and donations -
flowing in freely.
Secretary Thielen, Of the Agricultural
Department, and his committee of gov
ernment officials have finished their in
spection Of Silesia and will submit to
the Diet plan to effectively regulate
the water courses of the mountain dis
tricts, so as to prevent a recurrence of
the foods.
The Associated Press correspondent
learns on good authority that it is true
Emperor William has proposed a new
plan Of concerted action upon the part of
he continental powers against anarchists
nd 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 more effective inter-
change of observations and better sys
tenn Of Identification.
Emperor William, during the week, sat
or Professor Knackfuss, of Cassel, who
to paint new portrait of his majesty,
showing him in a new pose and in an al
legorical costume.
The Prussian schools have been again
ordered to celebrate the anniversary of
Sedan day.
At the military manoeuvres near i =
beritz this week, the third cavalry brig
ade of the guard corps had many acci-
dents. Captain Won Brocken, of the Sec
ond Guard Dragons, was unhorsed and
killed, six other officers were seriously
injured and twelve men were injured or
crippled for life.
His majesty has conferred the royal
crown order of the second class upon
Slatin Pasha, the Austrian officer, for
many years a prisoner of the Mahdi in
the Soudan, who was attached to the in
diligence department of the Anglo -Egyp-
tan army in the advance upon Dongola.
Owing to the absence Of the Prince of
Wales, Homburg, this season, is much
ess gay than usual, and there is a nota-
bic dearth there of prominent Ameri-
cans. The Prince of Wales choice of an
AustriU Eesort, Marienbad, is said to be
entirels due to the coolness between the
Prinf and Emperor William, and the
rad tmen Of Homburg are seriously con-
cerned.
