BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The escapade OF Prince
Karl OF Bavaria. whose mysterious disap-
pearance from Munich excited notice, is
now known to be due to q liaison
with q pretty ballet-girl, who is
two years his senior. The affair was
proving an expensive one for the
Prince, and his grandfather, the Regent
of Bavaria. dIsapproved of it. The Regent
wanted Prince Karl to travel Thereupon
the Prince applied to the Regent for his
permission to contract morganetic mar
xiage with the ballet-girl The Regent re-
fused. and was making arrangements to
send the Prince off on q journey abroad in
she care of two officers. when Karl and the
nanseuse secretly left the city. The pair
were traced to q secluded retreat in the
Zillerthal Alps and brought back to Mu-
mich. The police court announced that
Prince Karl was taken i'll while on q shoot
tng expedition, but that he had now re-
covered.
Events in the Reichstag and party move
ments. which are less seen by the public,
ell tend TO consolidate Chanceller Won
Caprivps position, and assure the passage
Of the army bill The Freisinnige and Bis
narcklan papers pretend to believe that
The Chancellors position Is ~untenable.
Livery day the opposition produces q fresh
fumor as TO who his successor will be. The
latest nominee of the snti-Caprivi faction
was ex-Minister Won ~Puttkamer, who was
named because the opposition could ass0-
ciate him with q current rumor that Empe-
Tor William intended to return TO O strong
Feactionist policy il the army bill should
be defeated The Emperor felt the report to
be offensive: and caused an official denial of
lt to be made IN the kelchsanzeiger, which
2ast night stated that Herr Won Puttkamer
mas not for some time even been received
by bis Majesty. The fact is that the Chan.
cellors position has become strengthened
by the open adhesion of some Of the party
leaders and the private adhesion of others.
Dr. Bull, a National Liberal, has won the
Chancellors thanks By promising that his
party will support all the military de-
bmands necessary for the safety of the en-
pire. The Reichsrsg took DE-. Bulbs state
ment as committing the National Liberals
TO the support of the army bill. The meas
nre Is expected to pass Its frst reading
the 10th. the bill will not go TO the commit
Gee stage until after New Years day.
The Emperor's bill against immortality

closure OF private affairs demanded under

any interference from the police.
The trial of Rector Ahlwardt. the motor
ions antl-SemIte. who Is charged with
plandering Herr Lowe, the small-arms
manufactures. drags along in the Moabit
Criminal Court. The evidence against him
Is copious. but this fact will not initiate
against his election to the Reichstag.
While Ahlwardt was in prison awaiting
trial he was elected TO the Reichstag from
the ADMINISTRATORS district. Prior to
his election only q few anti-Semite votes
bad been cast in the district, and ALL
wardts return by an enormous ma
tority was q great surprise. To-
uay Ahlwsrdt submitted TO the
court. as evidence in his favor. six
documents. The public prosecutor adj
United that the documents were genuine.
but declared that they only have com into
Ahlwardts possession by q gross abuse OF
confidence Oh the part of some official. The
public prosecutor obtained the sanction of
the court TO exclude the public during the
reading of the papers referred TO.
