Supreme Commander In Fact as
Well as In Name.

Berlin, June 13.-The political sensation
of the week. ecipsing even Emperor
Williams toast to the czar and the tel
egram of coincidence to the widow of
Jules Simon, is the speech, which only
recently leaked out, of Prince Ludwig
of Bavaria at Moscow, and the strained
relations between Berlin and Munich.
which were thereby revealed. 1t Is true
there have been indications of ill-feeling
since year ago, when the emperor re-
viewed the Bavarian army and unmis-
takably showed, to the chagrin of the
regent, Prince Luitpold, his desire to be
considered the supreme commander in
fact as well as in name. and more re-
Gently in the manner in which the peace
jubilee was celebrated at Munich. VITA
out a mention Of the emperor or the
empire, the imperial army or the i'm
perial flag, and it is now added that the
regent is going to visit Vienna instead of
Berlin, which has accenuated the strain
ed relations, as did the tone of the uIet
and of the press.
Emperor Williams Idea.
Emperor William interprets the con-
stitutional position of Bavaria in rela-
ton TO the empire s being a subordinate
one, and assigns the Bavarian dynasty
to subordinate position when it appears
with the Hohenzollern This is strongly
disapproved at the Munich court, and
without doubt Prince Ludwig, the future
king of Bavaria, deliberately and pur-
posely framed his speech IN the way he
did, repudiating for his dynasty and for
the other princes the role of vassals and
claiming that of allies which accurately
represents the views of the Bavarian
court.
The Vossiche Zeltung remarks: Rus
STA and France now believe they may
draw the logical conclusion that there
Will at least be a faint resistance at NIL
Mich when it is intended to drive the
wedge into the German empire. Fortu

people, which are thoroughly German
and adhere to the emperor and the en-
pire, in spite of the dynasty schemes of
their rulers"
Unwilling n Monument.
Emperor William, the grand duke Of
Baden and the king of Saxony propose
to attend the unwilling OF the monument
of Emperor William on the Kyffhauser
mountain on June IS. Eighteen thou

to pardon offenders sentenced there.
An issue of the Cologne Volks Zeitung

WHAT THEY ARE EXPECTING TO DO
Messrs. Squire and Hyde Busy with
Important Matters.

Washington. June Ex-senator Squire
has so many matters of national impor-
lance on hand that it was necessary for
him to remain until the very close of the
session. He expects to get out to the
state at very early day and is preparing
to put up a good vigorous campaign for
the senatorship. He is not at all dis
mayed by the announcement of Cover
nor McGraw's candidacy, as that has
been confidently expected for year or
more.
Representative Doolittle will attend the
national convention at st. Louis, as 1t Is
very little out of his way home, proceed
ing Immediately after than to the state.
While the announcement of the declara-
ton by the Everett convention upon fl
nacial questions was something of a sur
prise to him, he has since received re-
peated assurances from leading men all
over. the state that there is no feeling
existing other than of the most perfect
satisfaction with his work as . congress-
man, and that his denomination is a fore
gone conclusion.
Representative Hyde will not go to the
st. Louis convention as was originally
his intention. He will stay short time
in this city in order to finish up some PEN
sion business and other department work
in the interests of his constituents, which
he was unable to get satisfactorily settled
during che rush incident to the last weeks
of congress. The establishment of sew
eral mail routes in eastern Washington
are greatly desired, especially a direct
service from Coulee City to Waterville
He has already assurances from the de-
partment that lead him TO believe this
route at least will be snoru1y established.
The plans for the Spokane military post
are matters in which he is greatly in
terested and about which he will confer
with the secretary of war and quarter
master-general in. order to get everything
definitely settled so that there may be as
little delay possible.
The nights of lieu land settlers in con-
ffict with the Northern Pacific land grant,
the right of way across the Colville In
dian reservation, for the state wagon
road, the opening of the Yakima Indian
reservation. a commission to negotiate
a treaty being provided for in the Indian
appropriation bill, and the allotment of
lands to Indians in the north half of the
Colville reservation are all important mat
ters concerning which he desires to have
thorough understanding with the secre-
tary of the interior before he leaves
Washington.
Mr. Hyde expects to reach home about
the time the delegates return from the
st. louis convention.
