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 BEGGS’ CHERRY COUGH SVRUP Is giving splendid satisfaction to the trade and the sales arc positively marvelous, which cm bo accounted for in no other way except that it is without doubt the best on the mar ket.
