(«1.1 _ Germans Blame the Kaiser For His Humility Before the Czar. THE RESULTS ORTHE VISIT. Great Britain' wm Find Herself, Upon »All Matters of Moment, Opposed by the Two Powerful Nations—The Fight Agai‘nst Our Tar-1m: ‘ Berlin, Aug. 16.-—The visit of the em- peror and empress of Germany to Rus- sia and the reception accorded them there is regarded in this country with divided feelings. Manyupeople blame the "emperor for humbling himself un- necessarily before the czar, think his majesty has again exceeded his proper limits and say that the czar showed much less impressment than his guest did in the shower of German decora- tions and favors bestowed upon the Russian court and other officials. Final- ly, they also consider it extravagant that there are now a. dozen Russians who are chiefs of Prussian regiments. The fact that Emperor William upon several occasions spoke in Russian while the czar used the French lan- guage is similarly commented upon. On the other hand, the results of the emperor’s visit to St. Petersburg, so far as possible, are what the emperor wish- ed, especially as regards Great Britain. Henceforth that country will find upon all important occasions Russia and Ger! many in her way. A general under- standing to that effect has been defi- nitely reached, not only between the two rulers, but between Count Mura- vieff, t e Russian minister of foreign affairs, and Prince Hohenlohe, the.Ger- man imperial chancellor, and Baron von Buelow. It is a curious fact that the tone of the entire Russian press changed dur- ing Emperor William's stay 'at St. Pe- tersburg and became frankly angio— ,,phobe. The newspapers of Russia, which have hitherto been constantly hostile to Germany,'like The Novoe Vremya and The Wyedomosti, now wel- come Emperor William as a new ally. During the coming week the emperor Will attend the naval exercises near Dantzic, he will witness the unveiling of a monument to his grandfather at Magdeburg on Aug. 25 andhe will at- tend the dedication of a colossal monu- "ment at Coblentz at the confluence of the Moselle and the Rhine on Aug. 30. The latter ceremony will be one of un- usual splendor. The city and theop- posite fort of Ehrenbreitst’ein will be brilliantly illuminated at night. Upon this occasion his majesty-will deliver a speech of' unusual importance. . . The Army maneuvers. During the forenoon of Sept..3 the im— perial couple will arrive‘at Homburg and will witness the army maneuvers during the afternoon. The same day the king and queen of Italy will arrive at Homburg. The troops taking part in the maneuvers will be more numer- ous than ever. Altogether 143 battalions .of infantry, 115 squadrons of cavalry and 111 field batteries will take part in the operations. These troops will be divided into east- ern and western armies, commanded by Prince Leopold of Bavaria and Gen- eral von Haeseler, respectively. The main encounter is expected to take place between the 7th and'9tli of Sep- tember in the neighborhood of Hanan and Aschaffenburg. Before the maneu- vers proper begin there will be a numr- ber of parades, etc. The actual Opera- tions commence on Sept. 5. The health of the Grand Duke of Baden is such that he cannot participate in the ma- neuvers this year. General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., has been granted permission to view the maneuvers. In the meanwhile the gen- eral has gone to Stockholm and to ' Russia. In Wertemburg, Lieutenant Babe of the One Hundred and Twenty—second regiment of infantry, whose inhuman treatment drove a recruit named 'Bauer to commit ‘suicide, has been dismissed from the army and sentenced to four months’ confinement in jail. Princess Frederick Leopold of Prus- sia, who was nearly drowned ~while skating last winter, was nearly killed last week in the vicinity of Potsdam. While out riding she slipped off her saddle and was dragged some distance , along the road. She was Eventually rescued by an aid- de-camp and by her husband. Fighting the hrtfl’. Acting upon the advice of Baron von Thielman, the former German embas— sador at Washington, who has just been appointed privy counciior and the representative of the imperial chancelo‘ lor in all the financial affairs of the. em- pire, the German government is enter- ing into negotiations with the govern- ments of Other countries injured by the new United States tariff, especially France and Belgium, for the purpose of 4 affecting an agreement to demand the submissionmf all disputed points to a court of arbitration. In _Germany' 3 case the disputed points are mainly the al- leged violation of existing treaties and the paying back to the United States treasury of the eXport premiums paid by Germany.

The Vossi'sche Zeio. tung promptly proved that these 3!- ports are wholly erroneous and grossly misleading. They do not find favor even With the Agrarians. Further proof of the growth of par- ticularflih in Bavaria is found in the fact that 1a distinctly Bavarian party: to replace the existing parties isnow in. process of formation. The new party, which is encouraged by the Bavarian premier, Von C'railsheim, commeHCes operations during the coming autumn.

'l'he St. Louis Man to Succeed Breckinridge as Embassador to Russia. St. Louis, Aug. 16. —Hon. Ethan Al- len Hitchcock, a prominent citizen of this city, whom President McKinley re- cently‘appointed embassador to Russia, has accepted the position. A telegram to this effect was received last night by Mr. George Hitchcock from his father, who is spending his vacation at Monad- nock, N. H. Mr. Hitchcock said that he did not know exactly what his father’s plans were, but that'he did not think he would return to St. Louis before the middle of‘ ' September. He would 'then probably make arrangements to go to the Russian capital and assume the embassador— ship. Washington, Aug. 16.—The appoint- ment of Mr. Hitchcock to the Russian embassadorship created no surprise here, for among Missourians the selec- tion had .been for some time regarded as a foregone conclusion. ,‘He succeeds Clifton R. Breckinridge of Arkansas, who had been a representative in con- gress when he was sent to the St. Pe- tersburg post. Mr. Hitchcock is a warm personal friend of President McKinley and is said not to have been a. candi- date. As a manufacturer Mr. Hitchcock is well known in business circles through- out the country-s -He is identifiedfiwith the plategglass iridustrrand was a pio- neer in that work. He has had occasion to come to Washington frequently in connection with tariff matters. On one of the earlier of these visits he is said to have first met Mr. McKinley, then a member of congress, and the acquaint- ance then formed has since developed into the closest friendship. He is a brother of Herbert Hitchcock of St. Louis, president of the American Bar association. The new embassador was at his summer home in New Hampshire when the offer was made, and at first hesitated about acceptance. THE TROUBLE IN INDIA. England Actively Engaged In Prepara- tions For War Upon the Emir. Bombay, Aug. iii—There is general military activity in India in view of the concentration of strong reserves of troops on the northwest frontier. De- tachments of troops from distant.can- tonments are moving northwestward, and the railroads are kept busy trans- porting soldiers toward the scene of the threatened troubles. Very many offi- cers have been ordered to hold them- selves in readiness to return to their regiments, all leave of absence in the case of members of the medical staff has been stopped and 21 surgeons have been recalled from leave in England. It is generally recognized that the so called Mad Mullah is responsible for the raid near Peshawur, a'nd he undoubted- ly planned the recent Swat rising. The mullah lives in the Mohammedan coun- try inside the Afghan. border While the attack on Malakand was proceeding he collected and sent trll 3esmen to help the Sweats. - The emir. it is expected, will disglaim all responsibility for the actions of his tz‘ibesmen. but it is not likely that the goveznment will be satisfied by his dis- avou a1, I11 \iei'. of the attitude recently assumed by h;rr1.. His missions to Constantinople, his reception of the 'hirkis‘n envoy, the con- stant reminders to the peopleto prepare for a holy war, the distribution of fa- natical pamphlets and especially his gifts of arms and ammunition to the frontier tribes have brought the emir into dangerous Raters, and the impres- sion here Is he: :he Indian govern- ment, in 111a.ss..-r: troops on the frontier, is prepar‘ng hr the necessity of ad- mll“'st1llfir, to him sev eie correction.
