BERLIN, March 30.-Emperor Will
iams speech at the dedication of the
new barracks near the imperial castle of
the Emperor Alexander Grenadier regi-
nuent is still the sensation of the hour.
The Vorwaerts today vouches for its
sharpest version Of his majesty's speech.
The hamburger Correspondent also says
that the version published by the Kreuz
Zeitung is much milder tEan the en-
peror'S original words.
The press is still puzZling over what
caused Emperor William recently to in
dulge in such pessimistic talk and con-
siders his words to be unwarranted by
facts. They point out, also that the en-
perors prediction, answering 2 toast
Thursday night, TO the effect that .ier-
many would soon have to fight against
Overwhelming odds, is at variance with
all the declarations of Count Won Bue-
low, the imperial chancellor, who pre-
sents German as surrounded by friends.
The Vossische. Zeitulg and the Ber-
liner 1ageblatt attribute the depression
of the emperor, which inspired these
speeches to recent determining influences
and irresponsible advisers by which they
refer to DR.. Won Lucanus, the head of
his majesty's civil cabinet; Gen. Won
Hahnke the chief of his majesty's mill
tary cabinet, Admiral Won Senden- Bib
ran, chief of the marine cabinet, the
adjutant general and others who usually
misrepresent the actual internal situa>
ton, especially with regard to the So
cialists. The Vorwaerts is of the opin.
ion that the empeTors speeches are mo-
nlentary signs of mental depression
caused by the Bremen outrage, which
the emperor continues to attribute to
a deep-laid plan instead of regarding it
as the irresponsible deed of an epileptic.
This opinion is Systematically strength
from which persons of the eInperor's en-
tourage take care 10 regularly place be-
fore him.
PRESS COMMENT BITTER.
Outside of Prussia the 6isapproval of
the press, including the semi-official
newspapers to the emperor's sensational
speeches is even greater. The comments
of the Stuttgart Schwaebische Merkur
are to the effect that the speeches are
calculated to arouse widespread mis-
understandings. The semi-official news,
paper of Augsburg, the Abend Zeitung,
says the speeches aroused the greatest
fears for the future and awakens fear
that the Bremen incident has bred
images in the emperor's mind which are
productive Of an over excited fancy.
The Munich Neueste Nachrichten says
IL is impossible to promote monarchial
sentiments when the nation is syste-
IIdllEdlly HtlSuHuSISUcOUJ IflSulC6Q anu
debased before the whole world by its
own emperor.
In the house of lords, Prof Weidler,
rector of Charlottenburg high school,
made a powerful speech against the
Prussian minister of justice, charging
him and the Prussian bureau
cracy with trying to defeat Emperor
Williams scholarship scheme of teach
ing modern science and languages
against ancient languages. The minister
weakly denies the charge.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press hears on the best authority that
regarding Chinese indemnity and the
mode of apportionment of it, there is
no divergence of opinion between the
United States and Germany, notwith-
standing numerous statements to the
contrary. The American embassy and
the German foreign Office hold almost
daily conferences on the subject Of
China, hitherto always leading to mutual
understandings
AT the fete given at the Russian en-
bassy on Thursday there were 1,200 in
vited guests, among whom were the
members of the American embassy. Mr.
Jay White, United States consul at Han
over who has been suffering from a
| severe attack Of influenza, has recovered
Lieutenant Commander Rehler, United
States naval attache, has visited the
Austrian navy yards at Fiume and
Trieste and will soon visit the Italian
navy yards at Naples, Spezzia and
Genoa.
