The Tageblatt says the emperor's
doctrine is that of Charlemagne,
which means antagonism to papal
power
An eye witness informs the cores
pondent of the Associated Press that
the emperors reception at Strasburg
and Stuttgart showed that his popular
ity was enormously increased in South
Germany. The applause, decoration,
ETC., were mostly genuine and sponta-
neous. This was specially noticeable
in Alsace.
At the Maneuvers.
The absence of the French military
attache from Strasburg was commented
upon, and it is surmised that he acted
on orders from the French government
so as not to seem to recognize German
domination of the Reuchsland. 1t was
remarked, however, at the Strasburg
parade that the presence of French
speaking people was unusually large. A
number of correspondents of the lead
ing French papers were present and
they were granted every facility and
were shown every courtesy. Many of
them will accompany his majesty
throughout the whole maneuvers.
The noteworthy features of the ma
neuvers were the jaegers (sharpshoot-
ers) battalions of the Fourteenth corps,
who were equipped with Maxim guns.
The Fourth, Eighth, Tenth and Four
teenth battalions of the shorpshooters
forming a brigade with three batteries
of Maxims, especially distinguished
themselves. The correspondent hears
the Maxims stood the test so well that
all the Jaeger battalions of the army
will be equipped with them.
Just Like Actual War.
In order to make the resemblance to
actual war as close as possibles, neither
the regular telegraph nor telephone
lines We're used within the whole
maneuver territory. Instead, special
messengers on horseback, pigeons and
field telegraphs were employed. Auto
mobiles were used in transporting pro-
visions and ammunition and were found
serviceable on paved roads in Wur-
temburg, even on the steepest grades.
A remarkable achievement was the
successful passage of the steep Kniebis
pass, in the Black forest, 1900 feet high,
by the bicyclist division.
The probability of war between Great
Britain and the Transvaal is discussed
with great interest. The press COM
ment is mostly unfavorable to Great
Britain. The general opinion seems to
be that the Beers were wrong in maxi
issue. Still while Great Britain has
doubtless secured a free hand, it is Mt
likely that Germany, France and Rus
STA will remain impressive spectators of
all the complications which will posi-
bly, arise out of the war. If the Brit
ish are defeated there is a splendid
chance for Germany in South Africa,
while in the case of a British victory
there will be the greatest boerteck ever
seen, the Beers emigrating en- masse to
German territory. Then, it is added,
Great Britain will want also to GUST
Germany from South Africa.
Follows American Example.
The naval maneuvers near Heligoland
have not been sensational. Following
the example of the United States in the
war with Spain, the government has
ordered the equipment of a number of
repair ships for the navy, closely pat
termed after the Vulcan. These will be
fireproof and will be used in training
firemen
The vossische Zeitung prints a hith-
erto unpublished letter from the late
Prince Bismarck to Field Marshal Won
in which Bismarck was far
from complimentary to the PruSSian
This is one of a num-
Der of unpublished letters bought since
the death Of the field marshal by a
syndicate of liberal politicians. They
are said to contain many highly sensa-
tional letters, including some from the
Old emperor to his son, then crown
prince, in which there are passages
which refer in surprising terms to the
present emperor.
The Berlin courts will be busy Sept

ing the Spanish war, who is charged
with various frauds, by which he OBJ
tanned sums of money.

The emperor has granted the request

rers. This is said to foreshadow bet

Favor the Democrats.
The newspapers have been devoting
much attention to politics in the United
States. Most of the leading papers
lave correspondence and editorials on
he subject. Their sympathies mostly
eem to be on the side of the Demo-
rats.
