Prince Bismarck is still in a bitter
mood, although tire presence OF his
younger son, William, at FREDERICKSBURG,
during the past week. has tended to
nollify him. Physically, Prince Bis
marck is better just now than he has
been for months past.
News received here from Friedrichs-
ruhe and Hamburg say that q strict
surveillance is being maintained upon
all Of the princes movements and the
persons he receives. and, II is added,
that even his correspondence Is watched.
This espionage. presumably. Is at the
instance OF the government. and is be-
Ing performed by a small corps OF the
best detectives from Berlin. under Lieu
tenant Bodmer OF the political police.
The Hamburger Nachrichten in an
other article Saturday. said: Prince Bis
marck's adversaries are the newspapers,
more than the people. Former Liberals
have been converted by the social, cleri-
cal and semi Official democracy, and the
last named Is the chief fomenter of
hatred Of Prince Bismarck.
1t is learned that the replies of The
Reichsanzeiger to the Hamburger Mach
rlchten were intended more for the bene-
fit of the courts of Rome and Vienna

quarters the wording Of the exact terms
OF the Russo-German agreement, con-

subject. The German government main
