The opinions of experts, both British and
Austrian, concur as to the admirable condi-
ton of the German feet, and the wonderful
developments of the navy. Public interest
in the maneuvers is slight, but the Emperor
las Kept interest celtered upol his move
ments by suggestive utterances at official
hanquets, obviously aiming to proclaim
steadfast adhesion to the Austrian ALL
ance. The ReichsanzeIger pub ishel the
official version of his speeches. which is cal
culated to soothe Austrian iealousies over
the PeterhOf interviews. and prepare the
way for the conferences with the Emperor
Francis Joseph during the maneuvers in
Silesia.
Government circles are agtated over
new project for the reform of the Herren-
haus, Initiated by the Emperor under the
iustgation of Herr Miguel. 1t is the inten-
ton Of the Government TO so reorganize the
HeUenhaus as TO destroy the conservative
majority in that House, which is hostile to
the social reforms proposed by his Majesty.
One report is that the Ministers approve
still more radical scheme Of recognizing the
House on a basis akin to modern ideas of
Senatorial representation. In connection
with this reform Herr Miguel and Herr
Furth have prepared bill which proposes the
abolition of seignorial privileges still possessed
by landowners in East and W est Prussia,
Brandenburg, Pomerania, Posen, Silesia
and Prussian SaXony. by viii h local cleo
tions are controlled and the local govern
Ii mt held in the grip of these feudal su-
periors. The supreme motive of the
Government is the conviction that the pro-
posed social reforms are impossible without
the prior sweeping away of legisla i've
obstacles.

covered that illegal voters" were placed in

woman she left me as soon as she discovered

McKenna's clause in the Tariff Bill relating
to the fertilization of sweet wines was
stricken out by the Senate Finance Com
