The result of the elections in Bavaria and Baden
for the ZoI Parliament Of all the German States has
been received with great satisfaction here The vic
tory which the particularsts have gained In Bavaria
and Baden over the national liberals and the pro-
Prussian party-gained, too, with little previous
organization, but with the aid of manhood suffrage
and direct voting-is accepted here as sure and
irreversibe manifestation of the popular will thai
the Zoi Parliament shall not be diverted from it.
proper commercial purposes into a political engine
for reducing the South German States into vassas
the Prussian monarchy About the attitude which
Wurtemburg, the most anti-Prussian OF all the Ger
man States viii take nobody entertains doubt.
The so-called "particularistsn are a very hetero
geneous party, including ultramontanes particular
lists proper and adherents OF the great German idea
which demands that Prussia shall be swallowed up
by Germany instead Of Germany being dominated by
Prussia, and that the German Austrians be taken
back into political connection with the other States
of the vaterand. The German Austrians are divided
between the first and the third Of these parties and
they respond to the signals thrown up into the pOti-
with enthusiasm. The German Austrans are bound
TO the South Germans by many positive ties of blood
language commerce and history, and also by that Pc
culiar bond which common jealousy inspires be-
tween those who experience it. In this case the OBJ
Ject Of common dislike is Prussian ambition.
Admiral Tegethof has been appointed Command
ernChief Of the Austrian navy instead of one Of the
Archdukes, resigned. This appointment gives uni
versa satisfaction both among the naval officers and
seamen and the general public.
The cry OF famine and demand FOR help has arisen
In Galicia, which afflicted last year by failure
Of crops The Gaacian Diet, on whom it would be
in the first place incumbent to find funds to relieve
the most pressing calls, has not been convoked and
therefore this responsibility devolved Immediately
upon the Reichsrath and the Cs-Lethan Ministry.
The Legislature and Ministry have promptly united
in voting 10000 lorns by way OF loan to the Cali
clan Executive for the purpose Of battling with the
famine.
Apropos Of famine and the for its relief the
"appeal" of the German Ausrians for aid for their
suffering brethren in East Prussia appears on the
walls to-day in placard form, but with the obnoxious
passage rejecting on the Prussian government
stricken out The passage, however, which reflects
on the Russian government and which attributes
the poverty of East Prussia to the fact that the
happy land Is surrounded by the Muscovite (sic)
frontiers" remains intact. This is proof that the
Austrian government has two measures-one OF
''Daleu DTedlil WIlSpeTluI Ber-
lin and another far less courteous and amiable for
ST. Petersburg and Moscow.
The Common Minister of War has issued an
order reducing the number OF the army In several
ways. The most important reduction Is the abolish
ing after the sd OF March OF this year. OF regimenta
bands in all departments OF the service, except the
hne infantry and frontier infantry regiments.
Regimenal bands compete cruelty with the civilian
musicians Ia this and other cities. Last week meet
ing OF five hundred civil musicians was held In this
city to petition the R1ichsrath TO ordain that the reg
mental bands cease TO perform for him in public
rooms and taverns on stringed Instruments. Aided
by the State, the military bands beat the civilians
OF the field, and in order to supply the demand for
their services often divide themselves into several
companies and fill up any situation for " hich they
have not musicians enough by hiring civilian mus-
clans of the poorest class and sticking them into
uniforms. The meeting attended by almost
all the wen known orchestra directors
resident in this city, the petition was ratl
ned with unanimity and handed to Deputy
Scn.nder for piesenta.lon. The pubic listen with
sympathy TO the piteous tales Of poverty which the
civilian musicians prolier, and, Judng from the set

have grounds for hoping that their cry OF distress
