could recognize the princes birthday with

/ In expectation of the Reichstags ad-
verse decision, the majority in the Prus-
I sian lower house who had arranged for an
unofficial pilgrimage to Freidrichsruhe,

MARKHAM, said: 1.-THE grand duke of
/ Baden saw the Reichstag, 25 years after

Eugene RichteTs Fresinnige Zetung
says: THE wires which were worked in
/ this parliamentary scandal were pulled
/ from Friedrichsruhe, where the act is to
! create dissensions between the Richstag
/ and the government. The first act in the

which swept away Count Caprivi. The
/ plan now is to sweep off DR.. Won Boet-
