Berlin. Sept. :6.-The Morocco issue
has greatly strengthened the hands Of
the socialists since the governm. is
rot thought to have covered Itself with
glory in the negotiations, and the main
object Of the recent demonstration at
the suburb Of Treptow was to keep
public attention concentrated on this.
Two hundred thousand socialists Of
Berlin marched out to Treptow, cover
ing from Ave to eight miles. according
to the section Of Berlin in which they
live. and stood for several hours under
a broiling sun to show their opposition
to any warlike settlement Of the Moroc-
can negotiations. Four hundred and
fifty heat prostra tons requiring medi-
cal attendance We're reported.
The question at issue was scarcely a
vital one. as a peaceful issue of the
egotiations was generally anticipated
but the order Of the day was implicitly
obeyed by the socialist army. and the
thousands Of workmen cheerfully gave
up their weekly holiday and endured
great discomfort to show their loyalty
to their party and its leaders. Speakers
stands were erected at a dozen points
and from these resolution OF protest
was proposed and. as is always the case
at socialist demonstrate tons. unanim-
ously adopted.
This absolute discipline and loyalty
Of the socialist followers attracted
scarcely any comment in the Berlin
papers, so frequently has it been mani
tested. and political opponents have no
hope Of the socialist organization
breaking down in the coming Reichs-
tag elections in spite OF the death or
ageing weakness of some Of the prom
inent leaders.

or s'Junker" party and its leader. the
"uncrowned king" DR.. Won Heydebrand.
has again been strikingly illustrated
by two speeches OF Emperor William.
who, high placed as he is. neverthe-
less finds it necessary to pay close ear
to the music OF the landholding party
which has long dictated the tariff policy
of the empire.
His Majesty's speech at Hamburg.
in which he referred to the necessity
Of Strengthening the German navy. was
III mainly devoted 10 d eulOSy VI SOI;iS
merce, which he described as the breath
of the national organism. without which
it would be but lifeless corpse. The
Agrarians felt themselves affronted by
this exaltation Of commerce. tho
nothing has been said or insinuated in
dispa ragement OF agriculture. and
campaign OF such visor was started in
the AGrarian press that His Majesty
found it expedient, in speech delivered
a few days later at Stettin. to pay an
equally high tribute to the virtues and
importance Of the bucolic life.
| After much discussion OF the Ham
burg speech, the German press has
concluded that the reference to
strengthening the navy did not portend
any change in the German nava! pro-
gram. as supposed abroad, but only
emphasized the Importance Of keeping
up the present rate OF progress In
building up a strong sea force.

Emperor William, in spite OF the
great developments OF wireless teleg-
raphy, still! makes extensive use Of per-
sonal messengers to convey his desires
to his secretaries Of state and diplo-
mats when he is In foreign parts. As
a matter Of fact. on his recent northcrn
/; trip he gave orders that only the most
pressing matters Of state were to be
communicated to him by wire. owing
to the danger Of messages connected
with the complicated Morocco negotla
lions being picked up by unauthorized
persons.
The messengers who convey the i'm
perial messages and state documents
are specially selected army officers

attendance on the emperor. There
