GERMANS FUME AGAIN
THEY DO O Tx THEIR EMPER-
OR's RECENT UTTERANCEs.
Regard Them as Entirely Too Pessi-
wholly Unvarrnnted by Facts.

BERLIN. March S0.-Emperor Williams
speech at the dedication of the new bar
racks, near the imperial castle, Of the En-
peror Alexander Grenadier regiment. is stil
the sensation of the hour. The Voerwaerts
to-day HOuches for its version Of his Mai
esty's speech. The Hamburger Correspond
ent also says that the version published by
the kruez Zeitung is much milder than the
Emperor's original words. The press is
still puzzling over what caused Emperor
William recently 10 indulge in such pessi-
mistic talk. and considers his words TO be
unwarranted by facts. They point out.
also, that the Emperor's prediction, an
Ewering a toast Thursday night, TO the eff
feet that Germany would soon have 10 fight
against overwhelming odds, is at variance
with all the declarations of Count Won Bue-
low, the imperial chancellor. who presents
Germany as surrounded by friends.
The VOssische Zeitung and the Berliner
Tageblatt attribute the depression of the
Emperor which inspired these speeches to
recent determining influences and TIRE
sponsi5le advisers by which they refer to
Or. Won Lucanus, the head of his Majesty's
civil cabinet; General Won Hahnke, the
chief of his Majesty military cabinet; Adj
miral Won Senden-Bibran, chief of the
marine cabinet, the adjutant general and
others, who must systematically misrepre-
sent the actual internal situation, and espe-
cially with regard to the Socialists. The
Vorwaerts is of opinion that the Emperor's
speeches are momentary signs of mental
depression occasioned by the Bremen out
rage. which the Emperor continues to at
tribute TO a deep laid plan, instead of re-
garding 1t as the irresponsible deed of an
epieptic. This opinion is Systematically
strengthened by the Conservative press,
clippings from which persons Of the EN-
peror's encourage take care regularly TO
place before him.
Outside of Prussia the disapproval of the
press, including the semi-ofncial newspa-
pers, TO the EmperOr's sensational speeches
Is even greater. The IN of the Stuff
CART Schwaebbische Mercury are to the ef-
feet that the speeches are calculated to
arouse widespread NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The
semi-otficial newspaper of Augsburg. the
Abend Zettung, says the speeches nil every
patriot with deepest regrets and greatest
fears for the future and awakens the fear
that the Bremen incident has bred images
in the Emperor's mind which are the prod
uct OF an o~verexcited fancy. The Munich
Neuste Nachrichten says it is impossible to
promote monarchical sentiments when the
nation is Systematically misunderstood in
suited and debased before the world by its
own Emperor.
In the House of Lords Professor Friedler,
rector OF the Charlottenburg Technical
High School. made a powerful speech
against the Prussian minister of justice,
DIT. Schienstedt, charging him and the
Prussian bureaucracy with trying to defeat
again Emperor Williams school reform,
favOring sciences and modern languages
against ancient languages and training in
the present gymnasiums. The minister
weakly denied the charge.
The monuments in the Siegges ALE TO the
great ~elector, Frederick William. and Will
liam the Great, were unveiled this morning
In the presence of the Emperor and En-
press, a number of princes. Count Won
Buelow and the generals. The French resi-
dents of Berlin placed a wreath at the foot
of the monument of the great elector. After
unwilling the troops marched past. Suisse
auently there was a luncheon at the castle,
those present including the commanders
and staff officers OF the Life Guards.
