AN IMPERIAL TRAVELLER.
Perhaps no royal personage ever trav
elled so constantly beyond his realm, or
to such distances, within a brief period,
as has the young German Emperor since
his accession to thet h rone. He succeed
ed his father on June 15, 1888, and, in
less than a month after, had begun that
series of journeys to the various Euro
pean courts which he has continued, at
frequent intervals, to this day.
But little was known of the traits and
tastes of the young Emperor William
when he as ended the most powerful
throne in Europe. It was supposed that
he had an eager military spirit; that he
loved the military science, and even
that he was impatient for a great war
in which he might display his as yet un
tried military prowess
It was known, too. that he was an apt
pupil and devoted friend of Prince Bis
marck, who had so long and vigorously
directed the policy of Prussia aud Ger
many.
That, however, he would turn out to
he an indefatigable traveller, f ond of
giving and receiving sumptuous hospi
talities, of being the centre of brilliant
displays, and great popular ovations,
was not known out side the circle of his
near friends.
The first of the young Emperor’s tours
was the long one to St. Petersburg, to
pay a visit to his cousin, the Czar. Prob
ably this journey was prompted by the
existence of family ties with the Russian
ruler, by the love of travel and by polit
ical reasons as well.
Of late, it has seemed to he the policy
of Germany to get on as friendly terms
as possible with the Czar. How far the
visits of the two sovereigns to each oth
er have rendered their relations politi
cailv more close and harmonious, there
are no means as yet of judging accu
rately.
From St. Petersburg the German Em
peror went to Denmark, the little king
dom from winch his grandfather took
Schleswig-Holstein. In OctobeV of the
same vear, he started forth on another
series of long tours. He paid his re
spect to his close ally, the Austrian Em
peror, in that gay old capital, Vienna.
Thence lie repaired to Rome, where his
other ally in the triple league, King Hum
hen, gave him an ardent welcome, and
where he also crossed the Tiber, and had
a brief interview with the Pope.
Through the winter and spring of 1888
89 the Emperor made his appearance in
many of the cheif German cities, so that
his subjects in almost every part of the
Empire became familiar with his face
and bearing.
The midsummer of the present year
found him, first in Norway, and then
visiting his maternal relations in En
gland, where he witnessed the most
brilliant naval review ever seen in any
waters, and was deeply impressed with
the evidences of the might of England's
naval power. Late in August, the Em
peror made a tour in Alsace and Lor
raine. the two provinces wrung l y Ger
many from France in 1870.
The most recent of the restless young
ruler’s journeys has been the most strik
ing of all. He repaired to Athens, in
which classic citv, with many other roy
al people, he was present at the nuptials
of his sister Sophia with the heir of the
Greek throne.
The festivities over, the Emperor ex
tended his trip to Constantinople, where
he was recieved by the Sultan with ;s
welcome truly Oriental in it pageantry
and ceremony. It is said that no Chris
tian potentate has paid a Sultan the
honor of a visit to him in his capital,
since the fall of the Greek Empire, until
the the other day, the Emperor William
entered Constantinople.
There is some reason to suppose, that
this visit has a more or less important
political significance, and that it was
prompted by the policy of Prince Bis
marck, who wishes to have the Sultan’s
good-w ill, and to give him some assur
ance of protection from an attack by
Russia.
The young Emperor’s travels have no
doubt given him a useful experience and
perhaps have afforded him enlarged
views of people and politics, which may
be servicable to him as the most power
ful of European rulers, in his future pol
icy, It seems certain, at least, that In
is not as eager for a war as be was at
first supposed to be and that he has
made up his mind to do his best to keep
peace in Europe.—Youth’s Companion
