which prevailed throughout the SOutn
German states over the incident at the
banquet of the Deutsch Verein, at
Moscow, upon the occasion of the
cars coronation, when the president
of the banquet alluded to the German
Prince as members of the suite Of
Prince Henry. of Prussia, was sub
siding rapidly, but it has now receiv-
ed fresh impulse by the bestowal of
the Order of the Red Eagle by the
emperor upon the chairman, whose
words evoked the violent protest from
Prince Ludwig, of Bavaria, who re-
scented the presidents words by indig
nantly declaring that the princes al
luded to were neither members of
Prince Henry's suite nor vassals of
the German empire.
The Bayarian press, in commenting
upon the act of the emperor, in decor
ating the president of the banquet, in
terpret it as a new act of provOcation
on the part of Prussia, although it is
a clearly customary action toward an
official receiving a representative of
the kaiser, in which capacity Prince
Henry went to Moscow.

caused by the incident, but popular
feeling has been too strong, as was
shown in the enthusiastic demOnstra-
ton at the closing of the session of
the Bavarian Landtag in Munich,
when President Won Walther thanked
the royal house for watching and zeal
ously preserving the independence Of
Bavaria and her guaranteed treaties.
The expression was received with
cheers, which were prolonged many
minutes. In addition to this, the patri
otto associations in all parts of the
south of Germany are sending con-
gratulatOry messages and addresses to
Prince Ludwig in great prOfusiOn.
The Catholic party are especially
taking the lead in the reresurgence of
the particularist agitation and the
Catholic press are vehement in their
denunciatiOn of the persistent at
tempts to force the Prussian regime
upon the independent states of Ger
| many.
The Berlin government in the mean
time are viewing the agitation in the
| South German states very quietly and
the Berlin newspapers treat The mat
| ter lightly, as though the particularist
sentiment in the south of Germany
were a quantity not worthy of serious
consideration.
The National Gazette characteriZes
the extreme as puerite, but, however
lightly the government aud the press
may view the agitation it can not he
dismissed in that fashion. The fact is
that the present outburst is due to a
feeling which has long been in the air
of South Germany where the people
and the prince alike have silently re-
scented the autOcratic acts aud speech
eS of the kaiser. Legislative proposals
like the wine tax, which hit South
Germany hard without touching prus-
STA. the treatment of the South Ger
man lines by the PrusSian railways
and the dealings between the postal
authorities of Prussia and the South
German states have combined to keep
particularism aliye. The present agi-N
tation, which is giving free vent TO
long restrained sentiments is likely TO
do good to the whole country. and af-
ter all it is family squabble which
does not in any way affect the unity
of the empire.
In the meantime Prince Ludwig,
whose violent words at the banquet
were the signal for the popular out
burst of feeling, has found it prudent
or at least convenient 70 20 to his
hunting seat in Hungary to remain
until the excitement is allayed. 1t is
said by those who are in a position to
know that his departure for Hungary
was taken with view of avoiding the
rouslng ovations which the people of
Muniah nd othaP rla naS warn flrcnor-
ing to give him. -.
The passage of the governments

The statement made by the Rhenish
Westphalian Gazette that the German
government acting upon a motion
made in the reichstag by Count Won
HanitZ, has made Overtures to France
with view of having that govern
ment join Germany in the suppression
of time dealings in grain, is believed
TO be baseless. Anyhow it would be
impossible for France to entertain
such a proposal.
The nomination of Mr.. Mckinley for
the presidency of the United States by
the Republican convention held in st.
Louis is hailed here with satisfaction
so far as the security of gold cur

that his election would mean the en-
