Berlin, July 10-The main business Of
serious import to be transacted during
Emperor Williams visit to the car, the
correspondent of the Associated Press
here learns. will be the formulation of a
distinct understanding between Russia
and Germany in regard to frankly anti
British policy in the Orient, especially in
connection with Japan and China, and, in
the event of possible complications ars-
ing from the critical situation In India,
Emperor William will pledge himself to
systematically support Russian interests
in that part of the world. Russia, on her
part. is to promise the weight OF her in
iuence In favor of Germany in the event
of annexation plans in Samoa and else
where maturing. The emperor hopes, not
withstanding the natural jealousy of
France, growing out OF this programme,
that an EN- tente with the French rephb-
lie in most cases will be also possible.
Further developments of the cabinet cri-
sis will be postponed until his majesty's
return from ST. Petersburg 1t is prob
able Prince Hohenlohe win remain in Of
fee until the fall at least.
A sensation has been produced by an ed
itorIal article in the Cologne Gazette say
ing that unless a total retracing of steps
takes place at Berlin, the next elections
will bring a volcanic eruption of popular
indignation and a terrible defeat for the
isches-Junkerthum (the aristocra-
cy or nobility of the territory east of the
River Elbe)."
Physically the emperor is unusually
well. When he started from Lubbock on
his northland trip 1t was generally re-
marked how healthy and sun-burned he
looked.
The empress, with her seven children at
TegernseO, has captured the hearts of the
simple Bavarans. She and her children
are the objects of ceaseess spontaneous
ovations. The two eldest princes are be-
ing inducted into the mystery of chamois
stalking and grouse shooting by veteran
mountaineer hunters.
Terrible thunderstorms, hail-storms and
cloudbursts have devastated large dis
tricts of Wurtemburg, Baden and Alsace.
In the district of Oehringen, Wurtemburg,
alone the damage Is computed at 100000
marks, with no insurance. At Buchsweil-
err Alsace, the hail destroyed everything
growing, killing many cattle and lnjuring
scores Of people. During the hurricane
which prevailed the largest trees were up
rooted and hurled long distances.
The Princess a. Chimay, formerly Miss
Clara Ward of Detroit, and who eloped
with Janos Rigo, a Hungarian gypsy mu-
sician IS now at AIatrei, in the Tyrol,
where she has caused a great sensation.
She wears the Tyroese costume when
driving and her maid acts as courier, on
horseback.
The German exports to the United States
during the past three months show, with
few exceptions, large increase over
those Of 1896.
The newspapers are fun of dismal fore
bodings in regard to the new United
States tariff. The liberal newspapers,
however, for instance, the National Zei-
tung, Tageblatt, Boersen Courier and
others, warn the government against en-
tering forthwith into a tariff war with
the United States, though they have no
doubt the pending bill will become a law
substantially as passed by the Senate, and
that German industry, notably woolens,
will be gravely injured.
