KAISER AND DR. HILL.
Grounds of Objection. BERLIN. March 31. German newspapers admit that Mr. Charlemagne Tower (United States Ambassador to Germany) at the Kaiser's instance conveyed to Washington certain ' objections to Dr. D. J. Hill (who has been nominated to succeed him), based on the fact that his private means were j insufficient to enable him to maintain America's prestige in Berlin. SOME SEAH? CRITICISM. FOUR HISTORIC BLITNDSBS. 'WANTS A DIPLOMATIST AT HIS EEBOW. (Received 11.14 a.m.) NEW YORK, March 31. The German Ambassador at Washington declares that the Hill incident arose out of a gossipy distortion of a casual conversation. There had been no change in the Kaiser's attitude towards Dr. Hill. Nevertheless public feeling in America is perturbed. "The New York World" says that indiscretions like the Kruger telegram, the Tangier speech, which led to a subsequent scare in Europe, the Tweedmouth letter and Hill affair might convince the Kaiser that he should keep a level-headed diplomatist at his elbow, or else restrict his activity where Germany's foreign interests were unlikely to suffer by personal impulsiveness. :
