CHARGED WITH TREASON.
Frank Knaak Of New York, who has
been in jail on the charge of treason,
in having referred to Emperor William
as a calf head, is still IN Jail, in spite
of the efforts of the United States en-
bassy and his counsel to bring about
his release on bail. His liberation has
been refused on the ground that his
trial will be expedited. It will occur
before Christmas. Mr.. Knaak denies
that Emperor William was the person
he designated as a "calf head" and his
lawyer has evidence that Mr.. Knaak,
on several occasions, spoke in compli
mentary terms of Emperor William. It
is also claimed in the prisoners behalf
that he was intoxicated at the time the
alleged offense was committed.
The emperor is in no way pleased
at the reception he met with from the
Berliners when he came here on Thurs
day last to review the guards corps.
The cheers came chiefly from the sol
diers along the route. His majesty no
ticed this, and is said to have remarked
to the empress, loud enough to be
overheard by the crowd: This town
is the least patriotic of all towns in
giving me-
In addition to this, the Berlin papers
suggested newise in celebrating the
homecoming of the emperor and en-
press
significant fact was that the
French flag was hoisted at the French
embassy on the occasion of the en-
peror's entry into Berlin, and it was
emphasized by the fact that the French
ambassador. the Marquis de Noailles,
watched the procession from the bal
cony of the embassy. This is exception
al, and was regarded as being signifi-
cant of the French governments de-
sire to be on friendly terms with Ger
many just now. A similar compliment
was paid to the emperor by the United
States and Russian embassies, which
are situated on the Inter den Linden.
The North German Gazette says the
empress intends to publish a volume of
the photographs taken by herself in
the Holy Land the profits to be de
voted to charity.
AUSTRIAN PREMIER'S SPEECH.
The German newspapers are indig-
nant over the recent speech of Count
Thun Hohenstein, the Austrian pre-
mier, in which he threatened, in the
reichsrath at Vienna, to retaliate
against Prussia's expulsion of Austri-
ans from the frontier provinces.
Emperor William, however, is said
to be very dissatisfied at the want of
tact shown by the Prussian officials,
and many of them may be replaced.
But the action of the Austrian premier
is considered very serious, as it is re-
garded as indicating the attitude of
Austria. 1t is pointed out that Count
Thun Hohensteins speech was intended
to please the Poles, who detest the
idea of an alliance with Germany,
which is bound to suffer by such an
incident.
Indeed, the idea prevails here that
the days of the dreibund are num-
bered. Several of the Berlin papers ex-
press this conviction, the Cologne Ca
zette, in an article comparing the ma
vies of Germany and the United States,
says that in 1901 the American navy
viii be larger than the German navy,
and it urges the government to push
the shipbuilding scheme, to get on an
equal footing with the United States.
