Berlin, Oct 15.-Emperor William
departure for the Orient has started a
discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of the
establishment of regency.
The Freisinnige Zeitung says:
in such cases where the Emperor and
King of Prussia leaves the country for
any length of time, as in the present
instance, duly empowered person ought
in the meanwhile to seize the reins OF
government"
Continuing, the Freisinnige Zietune
proposes that the matter be brought be-
fore the Reichstag
\ number of the leading papers sup
port the regency proposition while sew
eral of the Conservative papers scout
this view. The constitution of the en-
pire does not appear to provide for a
regency. The Presidency of the Ger
man Bund is vested in the King of Prrs-
sia, but nothing is said to legalize the
transfer of this dignity to a regent of
Prussia. In the meanwhile the En-
peror's brother. Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, who would naturally be regent, is
absent in China. The next prince avail
able would be Frederick Leopold. son of
the late Prince Charles of Prussia. eld-
est brother of Emperor William I. the
grandfather of the present Emperor.
The question, however, with the whole
matter of the Emperor's trip to the
Holy Land will be threshed out early
during the coming session of the Reich

ion is expressed that it is not fair to ex-
pect the Emperor to bear the entire ex-
pense of the journey, and it lis said that
the cost of His Majesty's trip. exclu-
sive of presents and liberal baksheesh,
will amount to at least 100000 marks.

and to his harem, etc, also figure III

is expected to rebound to Germany's
greater glory TO grant credit to cover
his expenses.
The Conservatives have answered the
Governments approaches favorabiy, but
the Centrists have replied with a fla

In an interview on the subject of Herr
Moritz Busch,s book on Prince Bis
marck, DIR. Schweninger, the physician
of the deceased statesman said:
Il voice the feelings Of the Bismarck
family when | say they are all Indignant
at Herr Busch's book. 1t is not only
full of glaring errors and misrepresenta
tons, but il does grave injury to the
memory Of Herr Busch's benefactor
Beside. Herr Busch violated his sworr
duty in the capacity Of the pensioned
ex-State official, not to reveal State Sc
crets and not to publish State documents
Moreover his description of Bismarck
private habits is utterly imaginative"
