SPOKE AGAINST THE KAISER
Interpretation Placed on HE Remarks Of Lud'
wig Of Bavaria,
Prince IL Sore over tomeIhing-His
Heir NotIn the Same Frame
OF mlnd.

Berlin, May 29.-The Nordeutsche
Aligemelne Zeitung denies that Prince
Ludwig OF Bavaria had any reason for
making his antl-Prusslan remark last
week. The paper says, that In any
event, he could not have been prompted
because Of not having been given prop
er attention by the Berlin court
Meanwhile Prince Ludwig has again
spoken in a similar strain. In an ad-
dress yesterday before the Bayarian
Agricultural society in Noedlingen, he
said.
People would do well to study the
constitution OF the empire, Then many
would not make statements or &C
knowledge themselves Wholly irrecon-
cilable with that constitution, since the
South German states only came into
the empire by virtue Of special trea-
ties"
These remarks are interpreted here
as aimed against Emperor William.
Sngularly enough, Prince Ludwig s
son Prince Ruprecht who, after him,
is heir 10 the Bayarian throne, spoke
yesterday at Munich before the Bavar-
ian section Of the German naval So
clety, expressing himself enthusiast
cally in favor Of naval increase az
necessary for the safety and progress
Of the empire

rived from the stamp taxes and in

the Administration upon the Chinese

TO the patience with which the people
will submit to this oppressive taxation
for the purpose of permitting the Ad.
ministration to carry on its expensive
military operations and exploltations
in far off countries. If they do not
protest against the continuance of the

Fortunate for Akron the hysterical
talk Of organizing a local law and
order league has been permitted to die
out. The best law and order league
obtainable is the league of public Off
cials to make an honest and fearless
enforcement of the laws enacted for
the protection Of the lives and property
of the people. 1t is greatly to their
credit that Prosecutor Wanamaker
and Judge Kohler and all other off,

enforce the laws in this manner.

A DAY IN OLD VIRGINIA.
President, Cabinet and Army officers
Take Part I'm Memorial serv-
Ices at Fredericksburg.

Fredericksburg, Va, May 26.-On
the very ground over which the old
Fifth corps charged at Fredericks-
burg President Mckinley, his cabinet
and Gen. Miles on Friday witnessed
the laying of the corner stone in a
shaft which will perpetuate in bronze
and granite the heroism of the army
of the Potomac. 1t was an impressive
ceremony and rendered the more so
by the fact that among the hundreds
who witnessed the event were noted
leaders of both the federal and the
confederate forces. The monument
was the personal gift of Gen. Daniel
Butterfield to the National Memorial
association. This in itself was a
unique feature. as the battlefield
monuments heretofore have been
mostly the gifts of corporated socie-
ties or furnished by popular subscrip-
tions. Gen. Butterfield himself was
present and assisted in the ceremony
but owing to i'll health the committal
of the monument to the secretary of
war was made by Col. Hill, one of the
veterans of the Fifth corps. The
ceremony was with due masonic rites
and at its completion the secretary of
war accepted the gift in the name of
the American people.
The visit of the president to Fred
ericksburg was primarily in honor of
the annual reunion of the Army of the
Potomac. NE town was in gala dress,
and turned out en- masse to receive its
distinguished visitors. The president
and his cabinet were welcomed at the
courthouse. which was decorated with
the national colors and the various
corps flags of the Army of the Po-
tomac. Welcoming speeches were
made by prominent veterans from
both sides of the civil war, and after
ward the president held an informal
reception at the home of St. George Il.
Fitzhugh, where he was welcomed by
hundreds of the town folk, both white
and colored.
