HE IS UNPOPULAR.

Emperor William** Vagaries Have Caused Alarm Throughout His Empire. Edmund Yates’ special London cable to the New York Tribune says: “The federal Princes of tho German Empire have no sort of belief in the brilliant capacity of Emperor William. They are disgusted and terrified at his recent vagaries. The Duke of Baxe-Coburg-Gotha and a dozen German royalties took advantage of his relationship to remonstrate in strong terms with the Emperor, and he was justified in so doing as the trusted friend and often confidential adviser of his majesty's father and grandfather. But his protests were of no avail. The Duke was so indignant that ho refused to stay in Berlin for the chapter of the Black Eagle, but went off to Coburg in high dudgeon. The Duke’s sentiments are most fully shared by the King of Saxony, the Prince regent of Bavaria, and above all the Grand Duke of Baden. “One certain result of the retirement of Prince Bismarck will be, I hepr, tho early resignation of Count Kalnoky. It is expected in diplomatic circles in Vienna that he will be succeeded by Count von Wolkcnstein, the Austrian ambassador to Russia, who has just arrived in Vienna from St. Petersburg on leave of absence.”
