Reunion of Monarchs at WeiSbaden
Was Most Cordial.
BIT OF ITALIAN HISTORY
THAT PROMISES A SENSATION
IN GERMANY.
It Is the Forthcoming Book of signor
Chiala-He Advocates Italy's
Withdrawal From the Dreibund
and Forming an Alliance With
Great Britain.

Berlin, Oct Authenticated 1897
by the Associated Press}.-The meet
ing between the car and Emperor
William at Wiesbaden, on Wednesday
last, was arranged by Prince Henry
of Prussia at Darmstadt, the day be
fore it took place. Prior to that there
was no thought of the czar going to
wiesbaden, showing that the meeting
of the two emperors was of a purely
informal and accidental character.
The reunion of the mOnarch6 was
of a most cordial nature AT Wies-
baden particularly Emperor William
was in excellent spirits and made the
car laugh repeatedly by telling him
funny stories. The school children of
Weisbaden noticing the excellent
lumor of Emperor William, and anXi-
Gus to view the court sights, presented
themselves in throngs before the
castle, where they shouted in chorus:
Kaiser, give US leave from school
His majesty was highly amused and
caused the school authorities to crafty
the chAdren's wishes This news was
received by the children with ire
mendous cheers.
An article in the Nueovd Autologia,
an influential italian magazine pub
Hshed by ex-Minister Farraris, has
caused a
PROFOUND SENSATION
in Germany. The article is a sum-
mary of d Forthcoming book by Signor
Chiala, the italian senator and his
torian. He advocates the formal with
drawing of Italy from the dreibund at
the expiration of the present term of
that compact and the forming of a
new zWeibund between Italy and
Great Britain. The article shows that
in 1886 italy was on the point of leaV-
ing the dreibund and in 1891 she was
only prevailed upon to continue in
for the sake of preserving universal
peace. Continuing, the writer pro-
ceeds to demonstrate that Italy's most
vital political interests are in the
Mediterranean, and that only Great
Britain can aid her there The article
contains all sorts OF official documents
in support of this reasoning, the most
important being a letter of Count
Robilant to Count DeIaunay. then
ambassador at Berlin. 1t is believed
in Berlin diplomatic circles that SignOr
Chialis' book expresses the conyic-
lions of Italy's statesmen. and that the
withdrawal of Italy from the dreibund
is a foregOne conclusion.
The government newspapers have
preserved silence on the subject. but
the Stats Berger Zeitung says: Ger
many can calmly await Italy's with
drdwal. for it is undeniable that Ger
many does not heed Italy. but the
latter is condemned to impOtency with
out Germany's aid"
GUELPH QUESTION.
The Guelph question is again to the
fore. The Duke of Cumberland, in a
letter to a HanoYerion noble, Captain
Won Reden. bids the latter hope and
expresses his gratfffed feelings at the
loyalty expressed To this Prince
Bismarck, in the Hamburger Nachrieh-
ten. says;
1T is to be hoped that this and SIM
liar utterances will assist in solving the
Brunswick successorship question, now
pending for Il years, in a manner
agreeable to German national feeling
and Prussian interests
The rest of the German press ex-
presses indignation at this.
SUGAR TAX.
The Tageblatt remarks: "At the
coming session of the reichStag. the
federal government will clear the mat
ter by a declaration showing that Prus-
STA has no intention of gobbIng up
Brunswick. The succes5orship question
is to be solved by doing justice to the
legitimate heir. This, too, is the en-
perors view of the matter"
A curious veering around has oc-
CURED relative TO the sugar interests
The German husbandry council has
now asked the imperial chancellor.
Prince HohenlOhe. to reduce the inter-
national and sugar tax from 20 to 10
marks per 100 kilos thereupon the
Deutsche Tage Zeitung, the main
agrarian organ. which has hitherto ad-
vocated high export premiums and in
land sugar taxes, advises the abolish
ing of the whole tax and premiums. It
says the inland consumption tax once
removed, there would be much larger
consumption of sugar in Germany.
where the per capita consumption is
now only one-third of that Of England.
The paper argues that the total sugar
production of Germany would be con-
sumed at home, thus furnishing the
most simple solution of the whole diff
