EMPEROR WILLIAM BLAMED

BefHn, FeDruary 2.-EXceptlnB 1eW HD- eral papers like the Vossiche Zeitung and Tageblatt, the German Press has in no way received the advances of the British Press this week graciously. Nine-tenths of the press persist in pretending that the German Emperor's visit was a mere matter of ilial piety and that the honors mutually con- ferred there were solely meaningless civili- ties in no wise touching or influencing the sentiments of the two nations toward each other nor reconciling their conflicting in terests. While for couple of days after the Queens death even the Anglophobe press kept a truce, during the last half of the week the press began to speak out openly on the subject of Anglo-German re- lations existing upon King Edwards ac- cession. The Kreuze Zeitung today ridicules the London Daily Telegraph's proposal for Moral entente," between Germany and England aiding:
 "If the anti-European economic attitude of the United States continues serious diff ferences will ensue in which England like wise perforce will join against the United States which threatens to be a much more formidable opponent than Germany. But Germany's economic interests would never
  Germany in no case would join with Eng land in fighting the United States econ- omically nor would England expect, that fearing thereby possibly to strengthen Ger many, her rival. Germany, in such a case, would be tertius gaudens.'
 The Rhenish West Haelische Zeitung prints a similar article.
 The Berlin Neuste Nachrichta today prints an editorial rather friendly towards England, but points out enormous difficult ties of an entente between the two countries and demands that England must for once and for all drop her old supercilliousness and recognize Germany as her full equal. Only thus could an understanding be at all maintained.
 Emperor Blamed.
 The Leipsic Neuste Nachrichten and the Hamburg Nachrichten print articles severe ly blaming the Emperor for his prolonged visit in England, the latter saying:
 "In that, the Emperor's English sympa- thies collide with his duties as German Elm peror."
 TheSCologne Volks Zeitung claims that it is the old fight between the pro-Russian and pro-British parties in Germany, while the correct thing would be to preserve good relations towards both. The semi-of- ficial press during the week has been rig
 
 Emperor's return and intimation. Every German paper that has in any way re- ferred to Anglo-German relations has secuted the idea of an Anglo-German all liance. Several ministerial utterances have caused much press comment this week.
 Count Von Buelow's declaration in the Diet that increased cereal protective duties to aid German agriculture are certain has caused general onslaught upon Count Won Buelow by the Liberal press which claims that he has become Agrarian and jeopar- dizes the chances of new commercial treat ies. Then there were Commercial Minister Brefelds remarks calling the coal dealers a necessary evil, and Minister of Justice Schoenstedt's statement that the JeWlsh candidates for government offices could only be considered exceptionally. Both re- marks have stirred up the whole Liberal pre- ss which points out that Prussian con- stitution guarantees equality in these re- spects The Vossiche Zeitung mentions that the Emperor quite recently told Herr Dal- lin a director of the Hamburg-American Company, who is a Jew, that this made no difference with him, and he wanted to see Herr Ballin in higher place still.
 A shipment of hospital apparatus has left Berlin for the Buffalo Exposition. Consul Mason Is making special efforts to adver- tise the Exposition.
 Ex-Paymaster General of the Navy J. A. Smith is i'll at the Kaiserhof
 Miss Jane Oakley of San Francisco has become engaged to Baron Scheleha, an of- ficer of the guards.
 Prof Thin of Heidelberg celebrated to- day his 80th anniversary.
 Much complaint Is heard in Berlin about the court mourning by which dancing for the young people is greatly restrained There have been deaths with subsequent court mourning almost without exception for number of winters past. United States Ambassador White and Mrs White, J. B. Jackson and H. P. Dodge, Secretaries of the Legation, attended the memorial service for the Queen.
