CATION which Is to be received by him one week
later At the last sitting OF the managing com
mittee of the West Prussian delegation 1t was
announced that the demonstration on september
% wac intended merely to show 10 the ex-Chancel-
lor how sincerely his admire still revere him. The
chairman said that no political utterances were
expected during the visit in VarZin. Al the same
time the managers Of both demonstrations agree
that the problem presented by the Polish people
on German soil is one Of National significance
and that II probably will be brought into the
foreground by the Prince In his two addresses:

the admirers OF the old mans work for German
unity are to show once more their appreciation
of his services. There seems to be small chance
however that the Prince Will be reticent in speak
ing OF Chancellor Won Caprivfs concihatory
policy toward the Poles The conservative daily
newspapers which neglect no opportunity 10 DIS

noblemen. 1t was ridiculous. he said to treat
the Poles as II they coulu never De tTuh''' ~

Fidelity and gratitude were not 10 be expected

years ought to have taught the Ministers and
their supporters the tngers OF changing the

only with great reserve TO the Emperors k0nigs-
berg speech This suggests that Prince BIS
marck will avoid commenting on IT, except. per
haps 10 express mild approval OF It's sentiments.
Herr Won Ploetz the stiff -neckcd and irrespon-
sibe chief OF the Agrarian League has protested
against the EmperOrs ass ociating disloyalty with
the agrarian demands for higher grain tarin.
His protest was strongly worded and has evoked
much criticism.
The Social Democrats of Madgeburg met last
evening to consider the masterfu ways OF the
Berlin Central Committee. They had hot de-
bate in which all the Social Democratic Depu-
ties were more or less scorched. After Bebcl,
Lebknecht. Singer and Auer had been de-
nounced the editing Of the "Vorwarts" the
partys official organ. was criticised In detail.
Delegate Schmidt declared the administration OF
the Berlin moguls 10 be tyrannical and treason
able to the best interests Of the party. They re-
served the right to criticise freely the conduct
OF their leaders. (TumutuOus cheering) Such
undemocratc methods as had recently disgraced
the Social Democracy must be abolished Other
wise the leaders might expect to find large
masses Of the comrades going over to the 1nde-
pendents.
The 'K0lnische Zeitpng'' reiterates the an
nouncement made last spring that the Emperor
has ordered the coming OF medals TO comment
