BERLIN, Sept 7.-Emperor William
made . sensational speech last evening
at tho state banquet which followed tho
military manouvres about South Alton
borg, at which entertainment the king
Of Wortemborg was the principal guest
His imperial majesty had previously
struck from the list Of guests the names
of Count Won Nurbaoh aud Count Won
Kanitz, as we'll as those Of Generals
Klitzuig and sanditten, but tho names
of tho latter were subsequently re-
stored upon the list. Emperor Will
iam's act plainly marks his disploasure
at the attitude Of tho persons named
upon tho agrarian question. This Is
confirmed by tho fact that the emperor,
yesterday, decorated Count Won Doeu'
hoff with the order Of tho Red Eagle.
Count Won Doenhof, Il will be remem'
bered, In Nav last, was expelled from
tho Conservative Union because be
voted for tho Russo German cotnmer-
cial treaty Ia the reichstaG. Soon alter
wards Emperor William showed his
approval OF tho counts action and he
has now mado his position clearer by
honorlng Won Doenhoa with the Order
Of the Red Eagle.
After the emperor had toasted the
king OF Wurtemborg. and tho latter had
RESPONDED, his imperial majesty began
speech which caused tho deepeat In
preston.

reception, Emperor William said:

emphasized tho fact that In East
Prussia, where tho people are chiefly
farmers. you must, before oil, preserve
and maintain capable poaaant1y, and
that as such they would be a pillar OF
support to any monarchy. Hence my
constant endoavor, whenever tho oppor..
tunity arises, 10 foster tho welfare aud
economic improvement OF East
Prussia. The past four years OF griev-
GUS cares have weighed upon tho far
mer, and Il appears 10 mo that under
this influence doubt has arisen IN re-
card to my promises and ns 10 whether
I should be able to keep them.
"Nay, l found myself compelled TO
observe, with sore heart, that In the
circles OF nobility standing near the
throne, my best intentions were misun'
der.tood and to certain extent COM
battcd.
"Nay, more; word Of opposition has
been brought to my ears. Gentlemen.
opposition OF PruBsian mobiles TO their
king is monstrosity. They arc iusti-
fed In forming an opposition only when
they know the king TO be at their head.
This is lesson taught by the history OF
our house.
"How often have my ancestors had to
set themselves against misguided mem-
bers OF that class for the welfare OF tho
whole community The successor OF
him who, by his own right, became
eovereien duke in Prussia, will follow
the same path as his great ancestor and
as once the ilrst king Of PrussiR said
.srm me n,ea nd.1 corona, aud as his great
con established his authority as rocher
dc bronze, so do l represent, like my
imperial grand-siro, tho kingdom by
the grace Of God.

"Gentlomen, what oppresses you Ia
equally felt by me, for am the largest
landed proprietor In our state. | know
very wcll that wo arc passing through
hard times, and my daily thought is to
help you. But you must support mo In
this, not by tho means employed by the
professional opposition OF the parties
which you have 80 often rightly com.
batted, but by truthtully opening your
hearts to your sovereign. My door Is
at all times open to each ono of my sub.
iccts and lend him ready car. Lot this
hcnceforth DO your course and.1 shall
regard as etacod all that has happened.
"Tn order to mako sure whothor
havo really fulfilled my promises l Or

adopted for this province"
Emperor William then enumerated
thom aud proceeded:
~ shall continue my constant on
deayors to provide for this land and tho
very next budget will afford fresh proof
OF my patornal solicitude.
"Gontlemen, lot us regard tho pres
suro Weighing upon us, and tho times
through which We nro pOsslnG In tho
light OF tho Christian profession In
which wo have boon educated, as a trial
laid upon us by God. Lot us preserve
