TO ABOLISH COURT.
German Emperor win Cut Down Ex-
 pemsea.


 Berlin, Jan. 23.-Emperor William, who ordered a considerable curtail- ment Of the daily court circular after popular excitement had been caused following the appearance of the now famous interview with him as publish ed in The London Daily Telegraph, has now decided to signalize his 50th birth day by abolishing the daily court re- port altogether.
 This report has hitherto been given to a semi-official press bureau for dis tribution to newspapers. Hereafter, however, instead of the circular, there will appear a brief summary of the Emperor's official activity. This will be published bi-weekly in The Reichs Anzeiger.
 His Majesty's decision, it is said, is the result of recent press criticisms of his reading a magazine article to the commanding generals on January 2. These criticisms greatly embarrassed his majesty and he has now reached the conclusion that 1t will be best for him to keep out of the newspapers as far as possible.
 He expresses the hope that editors will respect his wishes in the matter and confiue themselves to reporting only The Relchs Anzeiser's summary.
