BOLD SPEECHES.

The police of Berlin have dispersed several
meetings held to discuss the socialistic bill.
More latitude is allowed out of Prussia in
discussing the measure. Herr Grillenberger,
speaking at Nuremberg, declared that ban
lShment would not be successful He said:
on may expatriate persons, but YOU can
not eXpatrlate cause, Each bdnished So
clalist will be replaced by several friends.
Herr Puttkamer and Prince Bismarck will
not live forever. If the baseness of towards
should lead 10 party coalitions sufficient to
pass the measure, courage and persistent
endurance united on the side OF progress
will finally triumph"
Herr Bebel and others freely denounced
the measure at reunions in Saxony. Since
the arrest of Haupt and Schroeder, the
alleged spies, at Zurich, the government at
Berlin has sent note to the authorities at
Berne suggesting closer supervision of An
archlsts taking refuge near the frontier.
The Zurich Socialists assert that Haupt's
exposure has led to a cessation of spying
on the part Of several suspected German
agents, who have disappeared. 1t is
diiIcult to see what practical good will re-
suit from the Berlin note, as the Swiss gov
ernment is already exercising its full pow
ers of watching under the legal limits.

The Crown Prince, i'll letters to friends.
says he is hopeful of returning to Berlin
early in the summer. He took a walk to-
day, accompanied by the Prince and Prin-
| cess of SAKE Miningen and Prince Henry, his
son.
An address of coincidence and encourage
ment, signed by 10000 persons, VIII be
sent from Berlin to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince is writing much every
day, and it is surmised from the immense
quantity of documents and works he has
consulted bearing upon the campaigns of
Konnigratz and Sedan, that he IS writing
a history of the Austrian and the Franco
| German wars.
