Press learns that Prince Hoiaenlohe has
not yet made peace with the emperor
about the publicity given to his maj
esty's naval projects, and it is strongly
probable that he will have to resign,
though there is still a chance that an
other truce viii be patched up. 1t seems
certain that Count Won Buelow will be
Prince HohenlOhe's successor. The en-
percr is deeply impressed with the skill

Germany's Naval Plans.
The naval plans Incorporated in the
naval bill preserve to the reichstag the
right of annually granting the precise
sums needed. Since the emperor
Hamburg speech, all leading shipyards
and iron works have had big rise IN
the price of their stocks, some of them
increasing 80 TO 40 per cent.
The Vorwaerts claims that the crea-
ton of a huge naval port of war at
DantZic is contemplated, and that a
new torpedo station near Plenendort
has been planned. The same paper
says that as long ago as 1891 the en-
peror. while at the Kiel naval academy,
formed the plan of making the German
navy adequately offensive. The gov
eminent press daily eulogiZes the naval
programme. The feeling on the subject
was voiced by General Posen, who pro-
posed, as the motto for the colonial so
ciety, "A first-clasS empire and first
class naVv."
Emperor's Pet Idea.
The emperor is immensely pleased at
the accommodating evidence of popular
approval of his pet idea. The secre-
tary of the navy, Admiral Tirpitz, ex-
planned the scheme at a special meet
ing of the Prussian cabinet. He said
that after some opposition he had car
ried his object.
Anyway, it is reasonably certain that
the bundesrath will pass the bill in
time for the first reading to take place
in the reichstag before Christmas. In
spite of this the agrarians. socialists
and part of the freisSinnige and a ma
jority of the centre party, continue to
protest, through their organs, suggest
ing that the reichstag has become "a
club of nodding mannikins under the
endless screw of the naval plans"
The canal bill has been reconstructed
for another Introduction into the diet.
1t now involves a total expenditure of
400 COO, 900 marks instead of $50. 000,0 900
marks, as heretofore. The new features
include new canals, the Masovian and
erlin-Stettin, besides a more extensive
regulation of the Oder and Vistula-
Absorb the Netherlands.
During the recent visit of the Dutch
queen the idesA of making The Neither
lands part of the empire, holding a SIM
liar position to Bavaria, was discussed,
and NJ. de Beaufort the Dutch foreign
minister, left a memorandum on the
subject with the emperor. While Moth
ing has been accomplished, it is within
the bounds of possibility that an agree
ment might be reached.
The projected customs agreement be-
tween The Netherlands and Germany
is still much discussed. In the press
the hope that it will materialize is gen.
orally expressed.
The decoration of the king of Spain
With the Order of the Black Eagle has
little significance, in spite of Prince AL
brecht saying. in the name of the en-
peror, that Germany was among SPANS
best friends.
