May 18. This city ia echo­ ing with gossip and comment in con­ nection with the visit *' Etrqieror William. It is agreed that the wel­ come of the august visitor was out­ wardly hearty anil that the decoratlona were on a scale quite disproportionate to the brief and incidental character of the visit. Indeed, the extravagance of the municipal authorities haa aroused the indignation of the already overbur­ dened taxpayers. As to the real inward welcome of the kaiser, there is less certainty. Despite glowing panegyrics of tbe Viennese new-pa|>era and their assev­ erations of gratitude for Germany’« support in the dark days of the Balkan crisis, coupled with declarations that the future interests of the »o empires will be still more cl> <>>ly united, poli­ ticians are afraid that Austria has given Germany a heavy mortgage on her future.
