| Weiss. a publicist, OF Berlin, Germany,
who is at the New Willard, said last
night that formerly the Berlner Loxal-
anzeiger was read regularly by the En-

paper was the organ OF the Emperor and

J speaking.
Things have changed. however. The
I Emperor now reads the Taeglishe Rund-
senaU. an organ operating on strictly con-
sentative lines and tending n express the

government The opposite 10 'Reichs-
/ freudigkeit' will be found in the express

you will have the 'Freudigen' and the
/ 'Verdrossenen.
