He certainly has, up to the present had any

never been able to agree with Prince Bismarck
and his policy ana is ~, not in sympathy with
that with his coming to power he would devote
more attention to the commercial intellectual.
and artistic development of the empire, and
endeavor to relieve the country as much as
possible from the present burden OF militarism.
Not that he would weaken the strength of the
empire, but he would certainly strive to bring
Germany more into harmony with the pro-
gressive spirit Of the nineteenth century. Hth-
erto with the exception Of the brief time in
tempt upon the life of the Kaiser, he has been
kept rs much as possible in the dark as to the
policy of the Government.
In 1858 Dan. 2l the Prince left Berlin for
England, where he was to we'd Princess Vic
toria. He was accom- panied by the Prince and
Princess Of Prussia, Princes Frederick Carl, AL
brecht, and Adalhert the King of the Belgians,
and the Duke OF Coburg. The marriage took
place on Jan. 25, and prosy Baron Stockmar
was made happy in seeing his plan of the
intimate relationship. Prince Albert wrote:
1.-The young people seem to be heartily in love
with each other and the innocence and unset
tishness of the young man is very touching.
Tears flowed freely"
The Princess never became very popular
with tho Prussian aristocracy Her influence
on the Prince, however, has been remarkable.
10 her must belong the credit of making him
what he has long been, model husband and
father which was not always the case with
the Hohenzollerns Soon after the marriage it
