Berlin, July 15.-Emperor Williams tel
egram to DR.. Hinspeter, the former tutor
of his majesty furnishes the press with
welcome relief from the midsummer dull
ness, His majesty's assertion of his un-
shaken determination to continue, in spite
Of all resistance in the way he considers
right, is generally interpreted as refer
ring 10 the anti-strike bill. but it Is not
believed the Emperor's words will help
the measure. which all agree Is buried
beyond hope Of resurrection.
The telegram has not been well received
outside OF the conservative press. 1t is
generally considered another of his NAL
esty's unfortunate meddlings with party
politics
The Pan-Germanic Deutsche zeitung re-
grets the telegram, while sympathizlng
with its object, and asks why the respon-
sible ministers do not take such work
off the Emperors $ shoulders. 1t also ques-
tions whether the personal utterances OF
his majesty tend to promote the interests
OF the bill and denies that these utter
ances promote the welfare of the mons
archy.
The conservative press regards the tele-
gram as a symptom of the imperial gov
ernment being determined not 10 leave tho
path the late Prince Bismarck followed
In dealing with labor and social questions.
The socialist press at once seized upon
the telegram as excellent agitation mate
rial for the social democracy
Conference Not a Failure.
Now that plan for arbitration has been
adopted at The Hague and the articles reg
lating warfare on land have been pub
lished. the press Is devoting much atten-
tion to the work of peace conference. It
is admitted that the exaggerated hopes in
dulged in by some that the conferences
would do something to make war well
nigh impossible In the future have not
been fulfilled but IL is pointed out the con-
ference Is not, therefore, a failure by any
means.
The Pant -Germanic Deutsche Zeitung re-
ferring to the arbitration plan, Is exceed
ingly uncomfortable over the thought that
Germany may be "eaught in this trap
and says Il thinks the permanent bureau
viii become che arena for English in-
trigues
In treating of the question, some OF the
| papers point out that the United States
and Great Britain have not shown in prac-
tce as much zeal for arbitration as they
have displayed az The Hague. The re-
fusal Of the United States 10 arbitrate the
case with Spain and Great Britains re-
fusal to so settle the Transvaal difficulty
are mentioned by the Kreuz Zeitung and
the National zeitung as inconsistent with
their position at The Hague
The papers also comment on the United
States refusal TO arbltrate the Hazel
ton (Pa) affair, as requested by Austria,
as being Inconsistent with the attitude OF
the American delegates. Otherwise the
work OF the American representatives. -
referred to In complimentary terms.
Great Brtain's rofe at The Hague is
commented upon with much less approval.
The refusal to abandon the dum-dum bul-
let causes bitter remarks on the subject
of FAD the papers style "England's un-
civilized methods of warfare"
The publication of President McKinley's
letter at the dinner given in New York
to the German insurance commissioners
has been received here with great sats-
faction. The fact Is especially emphasized
by the Tageblatt that the Presidents
words are all the more valuable as they
were spontaneous where an omission could
not have been remarked.
An announcement that Russia is about 10
order-feld guns in the United States is re-
ceivod with doubt here. The Neuesten
Nachr!ehten asserts that II is the product
Of American imagination and love OF ad-
vertisement, and adds; THE Russian ar
tillery stan Is too serious and well in
formed 10 go for guns 10 a land that in
this branch of manufacture has not yet
thrown aside its baby shoes"

The ladies' Of Hamburg raised 14,o00
