NEW YORK, Dec 5-Edmund Yates let
ter to the Tribune from London has this:
The German Emperor's recent bestOwal OF
the Black Eagle, the order of the Garter of
Prussia, on Prince Henry Of Reuss, had a
significance that was commented on at the
time by none of the correspondents who
might have poin ted out that the act denoted
& complete reconciliation between the little
principality and the house OF Prussia, or.
as one Berlin journal exclaimed, Germany
may congratulate herself that she is now
completely unified" For some reason or
other Prince Henry of Reuss continued to
bear grudge against Berlin. sc deep that
when 1t was once proposed to erect q statue
TO the old Emperor William within his ter
rit0ry, the Prince would not hear OF the
movement AMI sternly set bis face against Ii.
All this is past since high decorations have
been exchanged and he ealths have been
drunk. and it must indeed be said that
whatever may be the faults of the Emperor,
he has at least done much 10 reduce the
bulk Of the family quaIels and estrange-
ments which he inherited from his grand
father. Witness, for example. to speak of
nothing else, his partial agreement with the
Duke OF Cumberland. and his complete
reconciliation with the houses Of Hesse-
Nassau and Reuss.
Should the rumor Of the approaching visit
OF President Harrison to this country prove
correct, the corporation, as In General
Grants case, will probably present him
with tie freedom of the city.
If the Sutherland will case comes into
court it will be one of the most sensational
on record. and some very extraordinary
revelations may be looked tor. The late
nt,l- tod
several - on August 4, only few
weeks before his death. He charged
bis estates with a jonture for the
Dowager Duchess of 10000 year,
and left her legacy of 100000, to be paid
within twelve months after his death; also
the estate OF Sideway, in Stsffordshire, and
the lease OF the Liitensor' Chase residence,
near Trentham, for twenty-one years, as
well as vast quantity OF fur
niture. plate, jewelry, pictures and
objects of art The Duke leaves all of his
interest in certain StaffordshIre eollieries to
trustees. who are to pay the income TO the
Dowager Duchess during her life. after
which the property is 70 pass to testator's
grandson, Eric Chaplin, son of his daugh-
ter, Lady Florence. and Henry Chaplin.
The residue of the real and personal estate
is left to trustees, who are TO pay the in
come to the D0wager Duchess, who has the
power OF appointment over the whole prop
erty, the wish being expressed in the will
that this power may be exercised In favor
OF the family of the testatoF. There is
legacy Of SO, COO to Mis- S Blair, the daughter
of the DOwager Duchess, by codicil exc
cuted at Dunrobin on tue day of the Dukes
death. He bequeathed. further, an absolute
legacy of e50.000 to the Dowager Duchess.
/ understand that Labouchore has parted
with all the shares which lie has for so many
years held in the Daily News property and
that ihey have generally been acquired by
the other partners.
1t is rumOred that the foreign anarchists
who have found an asylum In England
threaten reprisals here for the surrender of
Francois to the French Government, but
earn that the authorities are on the alert
and that these men are we'll known. It
not improbable that the first business of the
session will be the passing Of the allen act,
with retros pectiye clause to indemnify the
Government for the measures in contem pla-
iion If these miscreants should thus abuse
the right OF asylum so freely allowed them
in this country. No doubt Gladstone would
have the support OF the opposition in this
matter. and it is not too much to say that If In
the event of dynamite outrage by the an
archists, the London Government were at
once TO expei the whole gang, it would go
far to restore its fast waning popularity with
the masses
