| Berlin, Sept. 7-Emperor William
made sensational speech at the state
banquet at which the king of Wurtem-
berg was the principal guest. He had
previously struck from the list of
guests the names of Count Won Mir
| back and Count Won Kanitz and Cen
erals Klitzning and Sandim. The two
latter were subsequently restored. En-
peror Williams act plainly marked his
I displeasure at the attitude of the per-
sons named upon the agrarian ques-
ton. This is confirmed by the fact
that the emperor yesterday decorated
Count Won Doenhoff with the order of
! the red eagle. Count Won Doenhoff
was expelled last May from the con-
sentative union because he voted for

approved the counts action.
The EmperOr's Speech.
After the emperor had toasted the
king of Wurtemberg and the latter had
responded, his imperial majesty made
| a speech which caused the deepest inn
preston.
After few words of thanks for his
reception, Emperor William said:

emphasized the fact that in EASTERN
Prussia, where the people are chiefly
farmers, you must, before all, preserve
and maintain a capable peasantry and
that as such there would be pillar OF
support to any monarchy. Hence my
constant endeavor, whenever the OPP
lportunity arises, to foster the welfare,
ECONOMY and improvement of east
Prussia. The past four years of grew

should be able to keep them. Nay, ,
found myself compelled to observe,
with a sore heart that in the circles
of the nobility standing near the
throne. my best intentions were mis-
understood, and to a certain extent
combatted. Nay, more, word of op-
position has been brought to my ears;
gentlemen, opposition of Prussian
noblemen to their king is monstros-
lily. ~
His Parental SOIfcitude.
'They are justified in forming an OPP
position only when they know the king
to be at their head. This is q lesson
taught by the history Of our country.

to set themselves against misguided
members of that class for the welfare
of the whole community. The success

came sovereign Duke of Prussia, will
follow the same path as his great an
