half The Emperor next received Prince Hohenloho-
Ingelhngcn, who has Just returned from his mission

the report on the commission relating to the new
infantry regulations
DRIVING IN PUBLIC AGAIN
During a pause for rcpose the doctors examined
the Emperors larynx and assented to his tauhg d
drive. The drive lasted an hour The crowds In
creased in density, 1t being the Easter holidays ana

The semlolicial press alludes to this Council a
consolidation OF the existing regime but nothing seems

the hope that the Emperor would refuse to sanction

RENEWED DISTRUST OF RUSSIA.
The temporary confidence OF the German peo
