The Hamburg Society Of Veterans con-
ferred honorary membership upon Prince
Bismarck on Monday, and on Thursday
received letter of thanks from Freid-
richsruhe.
Notices have been posted on the bulletin
board Of the Berlin University that spe-
cial trains have been engaged to take
students and bands TO Hamburg for the
birthday commers at the Sagobiel Beer
Halle on the evening of April i. Nearly
5000 students from all parts Of the empire

all Of them opportunities of seeing Prince

gin.
All the larger cities OF Baden will confer
upon Prince Bismarck the freedom OF
their territories.
The Anhalt deputation who recently vis-
tied Prince Bismarck say that he looked
well and was in good spirits. Several
times during dinner he offered choice bits
to his big dog, Rebecca. She ate greedily
everything until she came to piece OF
pork, which she refused TO touch. Prince
Bismarck patted her and laughingly re-
marked. "You see, even dogs have, / VIII
not say their religious, but their ritual
prejudices in eating"
The emperor has ordered great changes
in the famous park Of Sans souci in Pots
dam. The little forest around the orange
! fie is to be felled and the beautiful group
/ Of trees around the obeiisk are to be
/ trimmed and thinned.
The opposition of many deputies to
/ Herr Won Levetsow as president OF the
Reichstag has moved the emperor to dis
| tinguish him by raising him to the rank
Of major. AS Mai. Levetsow's new regl-
ment SIS the First Dragons, he viii have
a brilliant white and gold uniform. In
/ stead of the comparatively plain garments
of a militia major. on all the recent state
/ occasions the plainness OF LeVetsoW's uni
/ form is said 10 have dlspleased the en-
/ peror's eye for cOlor-a circumstance
4 which had almost as much to do with
/ the promotion as the presidents growing
| unpopularity in the Reichstag. For sim
| liar artistic ends his majesty has made
Freiherr Won Schorlemer-Alst and Prince
| Arneberg. influential Catholics who are
! always welcome at court, majors Of the
TThlans and given them brilliant uni
! forms to be worn when they appear in his
encourage.
! The parliamentary election in Wurtem-
/ burg on Friday was watched with much
/ interest This is taken by the secret bal
/ lot and the right to vote Is practically
universal among male inhabitants Of a
/ qualifying age. Only the seats of twenty
three privileged members are excluded
from the contest. The returns received
so far indicate that the government
/ forces, consisting OF lne so-tdiitu lAdtlutb
1 Partei and the national liberals, who have
been in the ascendant some twenty-five
years, have been badly wcrsted. Their de-
! feat is attributed largely to the formation
Of a new party called the united center.
The members Of this organization form
eriy we're distributed between the LADIES'
partei and the opposition radicals or
democrats, among whom representatives
of various groups from Catholic liberals
/ to ultra democrats The clericals always
4 voted sOlidly in the Murtemburg chamber
on all ecclesiastical questions. At the
! beginning Of the last campaign they
formed a general coalition. They agi-
/ tated energetically and have been re-
/ warded with heavy gains at the expense
/ Of the ministerialists The out-and-out
democrats, who have long been the back
| bone Of the opposition, also boast Of
many gains despite the vigorous competl-
ton of the social democrats, who, al
/ though they have never won seat In
the chamber, have nominated candidates
in all the vacant constituencies. There
will be second ballots in more than twenty
districts, including Stuttgart, where the
! democrats seem sure of victory.
The fall Of Frelgerr Won Mlttnacht's
ministry seems to be assured.
Freiherr Won Hammerstein, minister of
agriculture, caused panic on Tuesday
among Count Kanitz's agrarian group,
when he spoke in the Reichstag of the
governments attitude to the Kanitz's
grain monopoly bill. The faintness Of his
praise is supposed to forecast the com
/ plete rejection Of the measure. The agra
/ rian leaders call this part Of his speech
n funeral sermon. Nevertheless. the agra
rfan newspapers clamor still more loudly
for the naturalization Of the grain trade.
/ The Landes Zeitung in Lippe says IF
+ the monopoly cannot be accomplished
otherwise than by tearing up the CONNER
cial treaties, let them be torn up, even If
war follows. A good brisk war would be
a thousand times better than the stagna-
ton of the last few years"
It is said, that with a view to gliding the
dll which he presented to the asrarians,
I Freiherr Won Hammerstein applied on
TUESDAY for admission to the Berlin
branch of the Farmers Union.
Count willy Bernstorff, who ran away
with a variety actress named Barrlson
about three weeks ago, has been unable
10 patch up a marriage in London, as the
i German embassy there was warned not
to give him license. The trouble is that
! The proofs Of his divorce from his first
wife are not clear Count willy could not
/ nroduce the proofs upon demand. He
