INSULT TO THE DYNASTY.
Rupture Between tho Emperor Of Germany
snd Prince Luitpold-Hss the United
States Granted Italy Indemnity?

BEBLIS. Dec. 3O.--Alsrming rumors are
shoat of differences between tho Kaiser and
the Bavarian regency. The Kaiser has been
desirous Of drawing the Bavarians closer TO
the empire. in this respect departing from the
policy OF his grandfather. who withheld as
much as possible from interference with Ba-
varia in order not to excite the ancient
jealousy of that people toward Prussia.
When the Kaiser attended the Bayarian ma
n0uyres he offered Prince Luitpold the Re-
gent. the chief inspector of the imperial army.
Luitpold did not seem as gratifed at the
oher as the Kaiser expected, and declined IL
on the ground of old age, being over seventy.
The Kaiser then offered the place To tho Re-
geLt's brother. Prince Leopold. Leopold also
declined giving as 3 reason that he preferred
to live IN Munich. and an acceptance of the
Office would involve residence in Berlin.
This WAS the kaisers very reason for making
the offer, as he wished TO draw the royal
family of Bavaria nearer O. his own.
1t was noticed that the Kaiser was aftervard
cool and formal both towards the Regent and
Leopold, and IL was soon after that lie wrote
in the golden book of Munich. Regis yolun-
tar suprema lex the will Of the king is
the highest law Instead of the kaser's
visit closing tho breach between Bavaria
and Prussia it has steadily widened

Elections more or less, acute upon the Prussian
tendency1uQ infringe upon Bayarian rights.
Both tbe riNlng falD/y and the people seem
10 SHIRE the anff-T Trussian sentiment and is
reported that neither Regent Luipold nor his
brother will be at the kaiser's reception in
Berlin on Friday.
The words written in The golden book
rankle in the Bavarian mind. and as the peo-
pie are deeply attached 20 the reigning power.
notwithstanding its taint of insanity, the
Kaiser is looked upon as having aimed an
insult at the dynasty
