been another week of court fetes and
public ceremonies. Two somewhat sem
sational incidents occurred on Monday
at the swearing of the recruits at Pots
dam. One Of the recruits, man nam
ed Kallweils a Mennonite from Dalkeh-
mon, East Prussia, refused to take the
oath, and was Immediately arrested by
order Of the emperor and carried Off to
a dungeon. AS this occurred in the
y presence of the King Of Portugal, who
was visiting his imperial majesty, and
as the king failed to grasp the mean
ing of the incident, the matter was eX-
planned to him in French by the en-
peror himself.
The second incident consisted in the
extraordinary remarks of the eVangel-
zeal pastor who warned the recruits
that they must not only think OF
''Wacht Am Rhein,' but also of
"Wacht Am WeichSel" This utter
ance. leveled against Russia, has caus"
ed a great deal of surprise, and 1t is
rumored that the Russian embassy has
reported the matter to st. Petersburg.
At the swearing in of the Berlin
Spandau and CharlottenberS recruits
on Thursday, the public was Vigorously
excluded, a Gordon Of police preventing
all approach to the spot where the
ceremony took place. This precaution-
airy measure has been severely COM
mented upon, but it was due to the
special orders of the emperor, who,
moreover. verbally expressed his salts
faction to the police president, and dis
tributed nineteen decorations TO var
ious police officers, who had displayed
zeal upon recent occasions, and upon
this occasion.
The White Stag.
At the St. Hubertus Day chase, on
TuesG =, in Grunewald. in which 200
courtiers took part, the Order OF the

held at the Grunewald castle, Emperor
William proposed the toast, Fidelity
and Faith
Only one wild boar was speared dur
ing the chase, and this was sold to the
keeper of a popular Berlin restaurant,
TO whom the emperor wished a good
appetite.

J agitation in view of the approach OF
the reopening of the reichstag. Their
speakers are lIt COulllly, w
claring that the palliative measures

satisfactory, and that Count Nonshan-
it's proposal for a state grain monop-
oily will also suffice to relieve the de-

are encouraged in this agitation by the
hesitating opposition of the govern
ment The Prussian ministry of hus-

indicated in the speech of their leader,

former minister in which he declared
that if the members of the reichStag,

\ culturists the latter would take their
revenge by a1bolishjnS the protective

the German corn industry

lister for war General BronSart Won

brought to bear upon his department
throughout Germany, has Abandoned
his opposition to the measure within
the bundesrath and it is expected that
a bill decreeing comprehensive changes
will be passed by the reichstag.
