KAISER ON HIS VACATION.
French Yachtsman Tells How William
 IT. Looks Now.

IT. Looks Now.
 Nj. Gaston Menier, of Paris, while cruising along the Norway coast in his steam yacht Ariane, the vessel on which William II. met M. Waldeck- Rousseau four years ago. chanced to | run across the Kaiser again few | days after the birth of his first grand { child. There was a newspaper man on 1 board, and he supplies the Paris | Temps with personal impressions of | the Kaiser and with scraps of the con- | yersation.
 The Kaiser asked M. Menier to call l on him, and at once returned the visit. | |" Dressed as a yachtsman with white | cap and shoes, with no other maks of | rank than four stripes of golden braid l! on the sleeve of his dark blue eefer, he advances smiling, his hand outspread. He shakes hands with those presented to him with perfectly British vigor. The conversation is in a familiar and easy tone it is on% at long intervals that the pronunciation of a word or a foreign turn to a phrase betrays the speakers nationality, for William H. knows French thoroughly, although he pretes not to use the slang of the boulevard
 He spoke in high terms of Waldeck- Rousseau and inquired about his last hours and the cruel disease that car lried him off. Yes, yes, I know said the Kaiser, sadly, that is the disease of which my family dies He added; I shall never forget the look of my fathe trying to read in the eyes of those who were near him how far his disease had progessed. We have founded an institution at Frankfort for the study of this scourge. One of our professos thinks that he has discov- cred serum,
 "The talk turned to eastern politics.
 The German sovereign had been
 watching for long time the labori- ous efforts of the Japanese. l had
 spoken of it to the Czar and likewise of the wonderful information system
 which the Japanese had spread from
 one end of the world to the other. When we meet one we can not really
 tell whether we have before us a mer-
 chant a mechanic or an officer in dis
 guise. I have heard tell that in 8 bar
 be shop frequented by military attach
 les the man who used the razon on
 their faces was a colonel of the Japa-
 nese general staff And growing more
 excited We shall see in the end, in
 Asia and elsewhere, what this first
 triumph of the yellow man over the
 whites may cost. For the mo-
 ment matters are all right with Eng
 land But the Orientals have
 more than one trick in reserve. Thus
 they have just opened, according to
 treaty, a commercial town on the
 vatu only they have taken care to
 build a bridge between the two banks, which prevents vessels from going up
 the river . And he laughed en1- phasizing his remarks by snapping his
 thumbs and foefnger.
 q watched him while he talked. He Is of middle height, well set up' his
 hair turning pretty gay (better gay hair than none at all, he had said good lnaturedly), youthful in appearance and
 manner, his face rather flat with
 prominent cheekbones, @ well-cut nose, , magnificent teeth in a rathe German
 mouth, whose laughter is more bolster ous than graceful. The mouth is shad-
 ed by a turned-up mustache, not, how
 ever, thick, bristling into spike points, such as appears in some portraits and
 has become the characteristic, conven- ] tional mark of the camcaturist; this Is
 peaceful blond mustache, turned up 2 esA0J n ftYvo5NN n NoA m ffC Nyo cation. His eye is remarkable, , bluish gray rather had, the pupil al-
 ways in motion; an eye that speaks, listens, notes and remembers.
 His whole body, for that matter, Is . in constant motion, always under steam, cooperating With his speech, commenting on his words; the eye questions, his head approves, his hand punctuates only his left arm, notion , less never leaves his belt or the pock- , ct of his coat Who knows, he con-
 cluded, perhaps before ten years have gone by we may see Japanese fleet in the Mediteanoan, and 1t will be nov : city to hear the opinions of the Empe- TOT of the Rising Sun expressed on western questions,
 The Frenchmen were invited to din-
 ner on board the Hamburg and the
 two ladies of the party may boast of
 having sat on either side of the Kaiser. The journalist gives a few more scraps of the Kaiser's talk. After dinner the company smoked on the bridge and the
 Kaiser seemed even more unreserved.
 He expanded the Viking saying; He who is master of the sea is master of the land, but the Temps does not un-
 dartake to repeat his words. Later he had occasion to allude to his mother
 and the reporter was struck by the Simplicity with which he began: Mamma used to say to me" He found out that the reporter had stud jed at his university and exchanged a few words with him, Then you stud
 jed at Bonn?" he said to me in Ger man. Did you gnow Professor Carl Bell?" "He was my teacher He
 was mine, too. An good old Carl Sell with his spectacles, his round nose and his fat belly" and he followed this up with many hurried "reminiscences of his student days.
