In aa interview Sir Julian said he had been deeply affected by the remarks of. the American press regarding his reported transfer from Washington to Berlin aa Sir Edward Malet's successor as Great Britain's representative at the German capital, adding that it would be hardly possible for him to refuse the post at Berlin should it be offered to him, bat that ha intended to return to Washington in September at the expiration of his leave, his family following him in November Sir Julian expressed himself as being warmly attached to America, and said that he and his family felt as much at home in Washington as in London. He now regards it as fortunate that he has escaped being appointed to fill any of the diplomatic vacancies which have occurred in Europe in recent yeans, and hopes to remain in Washington for some time to come. When questioned as to whom he thought likely to succeed him at Washington, in the event of his transfer to Berlin, he showed a disinclination to discuss the matter, but intimated that, in his opinion, it would be unwise to appoint a novice to the post.

The ceremonies that "will attend the dedication of the Emperor William I. memorial on Aug. 18 are anticipated with intoresf. It will be a brilliant function, though the interest is somewhat lessened by the inability of Prince Bismarck to be present. This ceremony will be followed about a fortnight later by the consecration of the Emperor William Memorial church near the Zoological gardens 011 September 1. The emperor, empress and the imperial princes will attend the consecration. On the same day thero will be a parade ■of the German-American veterans, who will be reviewed by the emperor, and n great military ftnusical tatoo will bo yiven in front of the royal castle 011 the eve of the Sedan day, September 1. Tho idea that the fetes in celebration of tlio Gorman victories are intended to reopen French wounds is repudiated. The main object of the demonstrations is to celebrate the founding of tho unity •of the empire and not to remind France that she in a conquered nation. Germans hold that without takifig the feelings of anv nation into consideration they have "the right to celebrate the events that placed Germany in the forefront of the nations of the world, and it is held in many'quarters that the Brit| ish adverse criticism has its basis in | jealousy. The Idea of the Fetes. At Rudesheim, the site of the Niederwald monument, where the celebrations have been of daily occurrence, Secretary Zander of the Imperial bank made a patriotic speech. The Eighteenth Hessian fusileer regiment arrived at Eudeaheim on three special Rhine steamers. After landing they formed in line and marched up to the monument, on which they deposited a wTeath. The colonel of the regiment made a patriotic speech, winding up by calling for cheers for the emperor ana the empire, which Were given with deafening enthusiasm. The whole regiment then joined in singing "The Watch on the Rhine." The Seventythird Hanoverian fusileer regiment celebrated beforehand the battle of Colombey, the coming manoeuvres in which the regiment will take part preventing it from celebrating on the actua] aaair versarv of the battle. German Press Indignant. None of Emperor William's doings in England has attracted greater interest here than his speech on the anniversary of the battle of Woerth, the first decisive encounter tljat toojf place between th(5 German and French armies on August 0, 1870. The speech was regarded by German as a nappy thought well carried out, and consequently the irritation of the German press on reading the adverse criticism of the London Daily News on the speech was proportionate to the previous enthusiasm. The Daily News described the speech as a spontaneous indiscretion that was not calculated to allay the suspicions of England and Germany's French neighbors. Emperors, the paper added, ought to be strong enough to resist the temptar tion to make speeches. This, coining on top of an offensive article published by the London Standard, filled the cup of German indignation to overflowing. Celebrations at the Nicderwald. Empire and Not To Offend France. Berlin, Aug. 12.—The war celebrations continue. The Third Brandenburg artillery regiment celebrated Saturday the anniversary of its going into field service. The veterans of the regiment took part in the celebration. Wreaths were placed on the graves of those members of the regiment who had been killed in battle, after which the regiment paraded. Later there were fetes at the Stadt Park casino, where a banquet was given in the evening. During the banquet Col. Humann announced that Emperor William had appointed Col. Stumpf a general in memory of the battle of Spicheren.
