B1AL1N. March 6.-The Ill temper Of the EN-

the failure OF his negotiations with the Duke

Imperor's proposition was that the Gov
ernment surrender the 48.OO0.OOO marks con-
shutting the fund OF tho Duke. on the condi-
ton that the latter resign forever all preten-
sions to the thrones OF Hanover and Bruns-
wick. In case this offer should be rejected. the
Duke of Cumberland was informed that the
frussian Government would not treat with
him again hut would apply to Parliament for
permission to spend the money.
Tho Emperor expected that the offer and the
accompanying threat would move the Duke Of
Cumberland to favor an Immediate settle.

The Duke Of Cumberland limited that he
might entertain proposition based on writ

son George as King Of Hanover when tho lat

general tenor Of the interviews given by the
Duke to the Emperor's representative showed
that he was determined to stand firm on his
hrst ultimatum. He still hugs the dslusion. 1t

feeling in some parts OF Hanover In favor Of
the Duke. but there is little hope that he will

position there.
The domiciliary visits OF the police at the
beginning Of the year revealed state Of affairs
much more serious than the newspapers here
were allowed to describe The search was
undertaken after the Prussian Government
had been informed that the province WAS
covered bya network Of societies pledged to
open rebellion after the FIRST German reverses
In the next war. The documents seized at the
time OF the search showed the existence Of
ssditious feeling and the spread Of sedtious
propaganda under tho supervision OF many
conspicuous and wealthy Hanoverians. The
existence Of societies for the organization Of
rebellion was found. however. to DO fiction.
