him the wherewithal to carry out this
scheme.
The speech which Emperor William is
to make at the Holtenau banquet on June
2lst is awaited with curiosity. The
French Admiral Monara is to sit on his
majesty's right hand and the Russian ad-
mirdl Skrydleff is to SIT on his left. Thus
it will be difficult for the emperor to
avoid special allusion to France as the
most honored guest.
The foundation stone of the big Bis
marck monument to be erected by the
German student corns was laid OIL the
summit of the Rudelsberg last Sunday.
In spite of the fact that the emperor is
known to be aggrieved at some OF the re-
cent utteranc.s of Bismarck to a deputa-

Another question affecting the political
rights OF women has Just been decided
against them. An antiquated law still
exists which prohibits women scholars
and apprentices from joining a political

achievement Of this programme would
cause considerable inconvenience.
