Berlin. Oct. 15.-Emperor williams
departure for the Orient has started a
discussion as to the advisability Of the
establishment Of a regency. The Freis-
sinnige Zeitung says: When the EN-
peror and king OF Prussia leaves the
country for any length of time, as in
the present instance. a duly empowered
person ought in the meanwhile to seize
the reins OF government" 1t urges that
the matter be brought before the reich
stag.
A number of the leading liberal pa
pers support the regency proposition,
while several of the conservative pa
pers scout this view. The constitution
OF the empire does not appear to pro-
vide for a egency. The presidency OF
the German bund Is vested in the king
OF Prussia. but nothing is said to legal
lie the transfer Of this dignity to q
regent or Prussia. In the meal. while
the emperor's brother, Prince Henry of
Prussia, who would naturally be re-
gent. Is absent in China. The next
prince available YOU be Prince Fred
erick Leopold. son of the late Prime
Charles OF Prussia, eldest brother of
AhfPNiO is Nnt STduuIdtntT VI
the present emperor. The whole matter
OF the emperor's trip to the Holy Land
will be threshed over in the coming
session of the reichstag.
In government circles the expression
is heard that it is not fair to expect
the emperor to bear the entire expense
of the journey. 1T is said that the cost
of his majesty's trip, exclusive OF pres
ents and liberal ~baksheesh, will amount
to at least 5000, 600 marks. The costly
gifts to the sultan Of Turkey and to
his harem, etc. also figure up from
5000. 900 to 1000. 900 marks. Therefore Il
is suggested as the voyage is expected
to redound to Germany's greater glory
and advantage. hat parliament ought
to grant a credit TO cover the main ex-
penses. more especially so as otherwise
the emperor Will have to run into debt.
The conservatives answered the gov
ernment's approaches favorably, but
the centrists have replied with a fiat
negative.
IL is nov said that Emperor William
intends to become a neighbor of Queen
Victoria in the Highlands of Scotland.
He has been inquirfng for a p~urchasabie
sporting estate I'm Scotland. providing
salmon iishing n grouse and deer
shooting.
The recall OF Baron Won Buelow, the
German minister at the vatican, Is still
greatly exercising the German press.
An official of the foreign office said: "A
successor to Won Buelow will o be
appointed until we have received salts
factory assurances regarding the vat
leans attitude toward our right to pro-
tect our own subjects in the Orient"
The inadequate meat supply OF Ger
many. owing to the barriers erected
against foreign cattle, hogs and meat,
continues. From Austria solely some
5000 head Of cattle nave been admitted
and Russia supplied about o 1000 pigs.
The imports are quite insufficient to
cope with the requirements which the
home supply fails to meet. Prices have
risen steadily for months past and they
are now 20 per cent. above those OF
1897. The ~slaughtering of horses for
food has greatly increased. especially
in the large cities. and dog flesh Is open
~ advertised. In the Chemnitz Neuste
Nachrichten fat young dogs" form a
standing advertisement.
Influenza has again broke out in
Berlin and many fashionable people are
Frustrated.
The government has now definitely
decided to appoint permanently a naval
attache at Washington. who will reach
his post in January.
