III, Emperor. realizes that ne Is no
longer Emperor except IN name.
Trouble has been brewing for some
time. The Emperor has been seeing
every day his nephew assuming me
part of Austria's ruler. In tact, TOT
several years the Emperor has Dcen
little more than figurehead, the sreh-
duke doing all the work and deci9ihg
everything of Importance. INC En-
peror was particularly hurt Ynen ne
learned recently that his nepnew nag
decided on an extensive scheme OF snip
building, spending 100000 900 kronen on
new ships entirely without eonsui'S'ioh
with the Emperor.

Sch0nbrunn. the Emperors residence
hut TO Belvedoc Castle, the residence
Of the archduke. The Emperor OK
presses his opinion Of this in the bitter
est terms, protesting against the arch-
dukes hurry to see him dead
The archduke, learning Of his uncle
wrath, told his encourage that nc was
only doing his duty, and that as lohg
as Austria needed a strong man ne
would play that part regardless OF the
old Emperor's anger.
A few weeks ago another incident
caused the Emperor a ft OF anger
which aroused the gravest fears among
his immediate attendants. Inc Ger
man Emperor and Admiral Won TirpiI
visited the archduke az hOhopieS1 y"
Bohemia and discussed important poll
teal matters, including, notably, the
naval position in the Mediterranean
and the appointment of an Austrian
Ambassador to Germany. The arch
duke suggested Prince Gottfried Won
Hohenlohe for the ambassadorsnip, and
the Kaiser agreed. The Emperor want
/ ed Count Larish for Ambassador IN
/ Berlin and insisted on his appointment.
| In addition to this slight the German
Emperor, whose custom every time
he has gone to Austria has been either
TO visit the Emperor, or, II rushing
through the country, TO send telegram
greeting the old ruler, this year
neither sent telegram nor paid visit

/ onlv few hours distant by rail.
The Emperor is all the more angry
at the Kaisers neglect as on the last
visit of the Kaiser TO PenZig the En-
peror insisted on meeting his ally a.
the railroad depot despite the rain and
caught a chill thereby which endan-
gered his life for months. The Emperor
/ thinks he is the object of undeserved
/ treatment at the hands of "two boys"
as he calls the Kaiser and the archduke.
and has sworn that neither shall ever
cross the threshold of his palace as
/ long as ne lives.
