BERLIN. February Z, 1s95.-Dearest
Nicky: ESloffstein will, / hope, be
able to bring over the whole heap of
porcelain without any breakage. He
is instructed to arrange the table
so as it would be if you gave din
ner for fifty; so that you should have
the coup d'oeuil of the whole affair.
[ hope that my manufacturer has
done everything to fulfill your wishes
and that the present may be useful to
you both.
Since the sad weeks you had to go
through have passed much has hap
pened in Europe. You have lost an
excellent old servant of your pred
ecessors. old GierS. who was a very
good fellow whom l much esteemed.
France has changed par surprise her
head and government and through the
amnesty opened the doors to all the
worst malefactors the former people
with difficulty had managed to i'm
prison. The impulse given to the
democrats and the revolutionary party
is also to be felt here. My reichstag
behaves as badly as it can, swinging
| backwards and forwards between the
{
the ultramontaine Catholics, both
parties being soon fit to be hung, all
OF them, as far as | can see
In England the ministry is toddling
on to it's fall midst universal derision.
In short. everywhere the principe de
Ia monarchie' is called upon to show
Itself strong. That is why ] am so
glad at the capital speech you made
| the other day to the deputations in
response to some addresses for re-
| form. 1t was very much to the point
and made deep impression every
where.
For the opening of our canal in the
END OF June | have invited all Eu-
ropean governments to send warships
to kiel. L hope your fleets will also
be represented by a ship or two.
with my respects to your mama and
many compliments TO Alix, l remain,
Your friend. WILLY.
Making Nicholas a Gift.
(Evidently the kaiser is making
Nicholas gift from the royaI Dorce-
IAN factories. Giers is Nicholas de
Russia, who died in January. 1895.
Early in January the candidate of the
socialists and radicals for president of
the French chamber. Henri Brissou.
was elected. President Casimir-Perier
resigned on January Is because of at
feiiN Faure. Leon Bourgeois, chief
radical exponent of the policy of re-
publican concentration, was chosen to
form the ministry. The men in Office
represented what Faure terms indus
trious democracy" and labor. The am
nesty the kaiser speaks of was grant
ed to all persons who had been i'm
prisoned by the previous French gov
ernment for violating the censorship
OF the press, the laws governing pub
lie meetings, electoral offenses, etc
in short, men who were fighting mon
archical tendencies in France. In Eng
land the Rosebery ministry, which
followed the retirement of Gladstone
as prime minister in 1894. was about
to fall, but so. far had rebuffed most
or the reforms proposed by the oppo-
sition. The czar's speech referred to
was made January 20. 1895, to a depu-
tation from the zemtvos seeking local
f-government. The cZar said: Il
am aware that in certain meetings of
the ZemstovS voices have been raised
by persons carried away by absurd il
luSionS about the participation OF
zemstvo representatives in matters of
| internal government. I intend
to protect the principle of autocracy
as firmly and unswervingly as did
my late and never-to-be-f forgotten
father")
Kaiser Points to Yellow Peril.
kALTENBRONN SCHWARZWALD,
April 26, 1895.
Dearest Nicky: AS Prince Radolin
leaves shortly for Petersburg l send
these few lines by him. He is an ex-
cellent and warm friend of mine, who
has been proved by the difficult task
he had when being papas chief of the
| household during his short reign. He
stupbornly resisted any trials of in
trigue from any side. You may place
full and implicit confidence in him !:
his discreetness is proverbial and he
is burning to do everything in his
power to please us both and to tighter
the traditional ties which unite our
families and countries since nearly
a century. He hates the Poles and
has no more to do with them or in
terest in them than with the Sand
witch Islanders.
] thank you sincerely for the ex-
cellent way in which you initiated the
/ combined action of Europe for the
| sake of it's interests against Japan.
1t was high time that energetic steps
were taken, and will make excellent
| impression in Japan, as elsewhere. Ii
| shows to evidence how necessary it
| is that we should hold together, and
| also that there is existent a base of
! common interests upon which all Eu-
ropean nations may work in joint ac-
! tion for the welfare of all, as is
shown by the adherence of France to

/ firmly: then no doubt the fear of
war in Europe will dissipate more
| and more. The kind and most val
liable messages which you sent me
/ through Osten Sacken by Count Eu-
lenburg's transmission in Vienna
| have given me a signal proof of your
! loyalty and openness toward me.

! shall certainly do all in my power
! to keep Europe quiet, and also qua rd
| the rear of Russia SO that nobody
shall hamper your action toward the
| far east. For that is clearly the
| great task of the future for Russia
| to cultivate the Asian continent and
| to defend Europe from the inroads
| of the great yellow race. In this you
will always find me on your side
| ready to help you as best j can. You
have well understood that call OF
