sharpness and directness.
The papers admit the dltfculty ol oo
serving the old rule OF consututlollal
monarchies that the monarch oti.y
sneaks through the ministers, 1or the @
4raHnant sneeches of the Emperor oh
1oIiticaI subjects render the obserVd-
lion of the rule almost Impossible:
The Tagebiatt says: The Kaiser,

the Launching of the new French Nlh-
istry. On the whole 1t sympathlzes
with the Ministry as against tne oppo. ,1,5.,

in the declaration of the French Caol-
net proof that it is made Of different
stuff from it's predecessors, and beheNeS
it's small majority Will be soon to1loWeo
by a much greater one.
The Kreuz Zeitung predicts that the
new Cabinet will not survive the YER
dict to be rendered at Rennes, whatever
The elevation of Won Bulow, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, to count
ship has been received with much sat
isfaction by the press. The comment
almost without exception, is highly ap-
preciative of his statesmanlike quan-
ties. This comes from: papers most dlf-
ferent in shades of opinion.
The National Zeitung considers his
elevation a well-deserved recognition OF
his official activity, refers TO the strong
DositiOn he has gained in public opin-
ion and saws it is confident he viii grow
stronger with the country and the En-
peror.
The press emphasizes the fact that
Won BuloW has improved the relations
of Germany with Great Britain and
Russia and begins to see in him sue
cessor of Prince Hohenlohe as Imperial
Chancellor The only jarring note
comes from the Agrarian Correspon-
denz. which reproaches him with weak
ness in yielding to- English arrogance
The news published here that Admiral
Dewey had written a very kind letter
to Admiral Diedrichs, regretting the
false reports spread regarding their
relations at Manila, has been received
with much satisfaction. 1t Is said the
letter will be published when Admiral
Diedrichs returns to Germany.
The Barmen Chamber Of Commerce
demands decided action toward the
United States in tariff matters and
suggest that American goods be sub
iected to the same conditions here as
German goods in the United States in
regard to Consular authorization Of
invoices and fees. The agrarian press
strongly indorses this and notes the
fact that the Berlin Chamber is a free
trade body.
While Berlin is in the tolls of politi-
cal uncertainty the Emperor has been
greatly enjoying h1mSel1 at klel,
where, surrounded by a congenial com
pany Of Princes and yachting men, he
has been showing himself to be a good
fellow by taking part in beer even
ings." Later, after his Majesty's re-
turn from Norway, he will attend the
opening of the Dortmund- Ems canal.
August 8, and after the autumn
maneuvers in Alsace-Lorraine he will
be the. guest of the King of Wurtern-
berg at Frfedrichshofen, where the EN-
peror will witness experiments with the
balloon invented by Count Zoppolin.
The youngest three of the imperial
children are spending the summer at
Berchtestgaden, in Upper Bavaria. |
where they are entered on the guest /,
lists under the incognito of Count
Ravensberg.
The Emperor, inspired by the United
States Columbian postage stamps, has
ordered the issue of new series for
1900. They will illustrate the history of
the Hohenzollerns. The nostaI authori-
ties here have been unable to find a
native artist to do the work and have
engaged an Englishman to design the
stamps, who received 10000 marks for
so doing.
