BEHIND THE THRONE.
Increasing Poscer and Rank of EN-

the members Of the older aristocracy That the
Emperor should accord TO the daughter of the late
Count Bohuslaw Chotek envoy at Dresden the
pas" OF ali the grand mistresses of the various
imperial households and Of the danes du palais''

houses OF Germany by attempting TO give the for
Tner Countess Sophie Chotek precedence over them.
II IS claimed that their place on the Table Of Prece-
cence comes TO them not by any act OF imperial
favor but as their inherited right due TO their
BIRTH and guaranteed TO them by the International
Congress of Vienna nearly a hundred years ago.
when they were explicitly invested with certain
rights as compensation for the loss Of their petty
thrones And it has always been held by Austro-
Hungarian and German law that it was beyond the
power Of any sovereign TO confer royal rank or
the status Of mediatization upon any noble or
noblewoman without the consent OF all the mon
Rrchs represented in the German Diet which ex-
listed up To 1866, and which included Austria But
a matter Of fact. additions have been made
since the Congress Of Vienna, and inasmuch as
the late Emperor William refused to approach the
various German and foreign courts on the subject
Of investing his great Chancellor Prince Bismarck
with the status OF sovereign or mediatized Duke
Of Lauenberg, the prince was unable to realize
the one personal ambition Of his life remained
in spite OF his possession OF the title of prince and
OF duke mere noble. and compelled as such to
yield the pas all official occasions to scions
OF mediatized houses such as for instance, Prince
Hugo HohenIohe (before he surrendered his status
as a mediatized prince wed a circus rider),
Prince Henri CrOy, who has been in the real estate
business in New-York; Count Macmillan Pappen-
HEINZ before he abdicated his mediatized status in
order to marry Miss Wheeler. of Philadelphia, and
Count Albert Quadt, now German consul general
st Calcutta, and formerly secretary of the German
Embassy at Washington.

THE KAISER RESERVES THE RIGHTS
AS the German Chancellor has no children bx his
marriage with the sister of the Italian Prince
Canporeale and Duke OF Aldragana, It is possible
that the title of prince. which the Emperor has
Just conferred upon him. may lapse on his death
FOR 1t appears that the Kaiser in the same way
as when he created the Chancellor a count re-
served to the Crown the right of determining
whether these dgnities are TO be allowed 10 Iause
or II 1hey are to be inherited by one or the other
OF the princes numerous brothers and nephews
WIN some members of his family the Chancellor 10
on the most affectonate of terms whereas with
olhers MS relations strained and inasrnuch as
"llIafn prefers certain OF the Biilows to others
inoeeo there are certain of them whom he cor
oiay oishkes-he naturally wishes 10 retain the
right Of deoEng which of the members OF the
oulow fainily is to bear the honors which he has
conferred upon the Chancellor
The kaiser did the thing when he created
the late Count Munster prince in recognition for
ms services as German plerpotentiary at the Peace
congress at The Hague Prince Munster had two
sons the Counts Ernest and Alexander The elder
or the two married against his fathers wishes
quarreled with him. and, indeed rendered himself
sulIty OF acts of such questionable character
as 10 necessltate his eXpatraon and as TO lead to
the conviction that he must have been insane
lie died a short time ago. leaving a son. now nine
teen years of age. The prince himself did not wish
lhat ms princey title should descend TO either his
eldest son or TO the latters boy and as the Kaiser
mas not seen fit to revive 1t in the person of the
late princes second son. Count Alexander Munster
who has married Lord Knnoulls sister. and who
makes his home in England. the dignity has fallen
into allegiance.
1t is somewhat of innovation for the crown
10 confer titles in this fashion, that is TO say re-
serving TO itself the right determining the sue
cession "a reservation which, however the Emperor
has not considered necessary note on the patents
or Prince Dohra. Prince Donnersmarck and Prince
Eulenburg). 1t enables the sovereign to prevent
honors conferred in recognition of eminent ser
vices from passing into the possession of heirs
who are in worthy TO bear them. The
innovation is due to the present Kaiser and Il is
one which has commended itself to the attention
OF other sovereigns. and which is liable fol-
lowed especially in countries where peerages
carrying with them seats in the upper house
of Parliament have sometimes landed the legis-
lature men utterly unfit to exercise any voice in
the control of the affairs of the nation, and whose
presence there has been due only to the fact that
they had inherited peerage. Life peerages-that
is TO say non-transnissible to Observation-Disclosures
likely TO supersede TO great extent IN the future
hereditary honors. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.
