TO SNUB THE GERMAN COURT
Polish AristOcracy in Berlin Or
sAniSes TO Refuse Invitations
from Royalty.

BERLIN, July 1s.-The leading members
of the Polish aristocracy in Berlin are
quietly organizing with the object OF re-
fusing all court invitations on account Of
Emperor Williams anti-Polish speech at
Marienburg. Prince Anton OF the ancient
house Of Radziwill is reputed to be at the
head Of the movement. He has long been
favorite at court and formerly adjutant
Of Emperor William l.
This news comes from Polish journals
and excites jubilation; but, so far as Prince
Radziwill is concerned. It is regarded as
doubtful. as he had heretofore considered
the Polish agitation as not likely to serve
any permanent interest OF his people.

Wheat continues also to move with
considerable life.
