Berlin, July S.-Emperor William
visit to the French training ship Iphi-
genie az Bergen on Thursday, and his
cordial exchange of kilograms with
President Loubet were not only re-
ceived with great satisfaction here, but
throughout Europe. As one paper puts
it, il promises to Ee a turning point in
the worlds history.
At the opening of the Kiel canal, his
majesty went on board one of the
French ships but in the present in
stance it is maintained the emperor set
foot on the deck of a French war YES
sci, which is equivalent to French soil,
by the express invitation of her COM
mander, who was acting upon instruc-
tions from his government. 1t is, there
fore, believed here that the many grace
full and courteous attentions which,
during the past seven or eight years,
the emperor has been in the habit of
paying to the French government have
borne fruit.
The emDeror's act has been sympa-
thetically received in France, though
some see in ii only a desire to visit the
Paris exposition in 1900. Most of the
papers print the Iphigenie kilograms
without comment
The Tageblatt says: 1T was the first
Official ACT Oh rance LOT generation
expressing desire for more friendly
relations. The courtesy of the kaiser is
gradually telling upon France"
The NosSische Zeitung says: THE
incident must fill with satisfaction the
friends of the republic, not only on
both sides of the 'Nosges,' but every
where in the world. 1t proves the pres
ent rulers of France are not hypnotized
with the idea of a revanche, and have
the moral courage to show it,"
Proof of Good Relations
The Lolal Anzeiger Zeitung says:
''The incident is proof of good rela-
TONS
The Cologne Gazette looks upon it as
an INDICATION of how far French and
German sentiments have moderated
recentlV-
The Vorwaerts does not see in the
affair turning point in the worlds
history, and sarcaStically expresses the
hope that Professor Stengel's mind will
now become more peaceable.
The attitude of the French press has
caused much satisfaction.
Dog day dullness has suddenly seized
upon Berlin. The diet has adjourned TO
Aug. IA, and the herTenhauS to Aug. Il.
Nearly all the ministers have depart
ed on their vacations, and the political
excitement of the past week has given
place to q quiet which can only be dis
Iurbed by inventing new rumors OF
ministerial changes. The emperor IS
yachting off the Norwegian coast No
exciting speeches may be expected from
him, and during his absence the pub
lie has settled down for month OF
quiet
Better Ministerial Outlook.
In view of the more favorable out
look for the election and canal bills /
the talk of a dissolution and a recon- !
Struction of the ministry has died |
away. The press now postpones the |
whole until the reassembling of the |
diet. The rumors regarding cabine! /
changes have brought Prince Herbert /
Bismarck and his political future into /
discussion. 1t is believed he is now |
anxious to wipe out the memory of the |
past, and put himself in the way of an I
appointment to an important place. |
His recent speech in the reichstag, |
praising the government and its for /
eign policy, has been interpreted as |
bid for a complete reconciliation with |
the emperor and his advisers. The |
papers generally expect to see him in |
some high position in the near future. |
II is understood his majesty is favor |
ably disposed towards the princes am |
billions, as he wants to obliterate in !
the German mind the remembrance OF !
his estrangement with the Iron cham |
cellor," and wants to associate the |
name of Bismarck with his reign.
The agrarians claiming Prince Bis !
marck as one of their men, would well |
come his return to public life as a vic
tory. The Deutche Tages Zeitung |
thinks he Will return TO office only |
when convinced that he can carry out |
his ideas.
Office For Prince Bismarck.
The papers have not yet agreed as to |
what office is TO be given TO Prince /
Bismarck. Some OF them give him enc
of the highest diplomatic POSITIONS |
where he can train for the chancellor
ship. His name is mentioned in con-
naction with Washington, but others
point out that there is no prospect Of |
that post being vacant in the near flu
ture. as DR.. Won Holleben has been
highly successful. 1t is believed Prince
Bismarck prefers London, where he
has many aristocratic friends, includ-
ing Lord Roseberry. Some regard his
appointment TO high home Office more
likely.
The Vossische Zeitung does not be-
lieve the son of the great chancellor
would accept anything at home less
than the chancellorship, and the opin-
ion is expressed in some quarters that
this VIII be in his reach at no distant
day.
The press comments on the war in
the Philippines and the decision Of
President Mckinley 10 increase the
force of American troops there, are not
hopeful for American success. The /
difficulty of the situation is regarded
as confirmatory Of the views expressed
before the rebellion.
The Vosssche Zeitung makes merry
over what it calls General Otis Ma
poleonic art of preparing bulletins"
and adds: with negligence of the
most obvious facts he has been reiter-
ating for months that the resistance of |
the Tagals was broken. their armies in
complete dissolution and the end of the
war in sight"
