WOULD REVIVE OLD FEUD

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-It is reported in
Brunswick that the recent unexpected
visit of Emperor William to that city
and the secret visit of the Grand Duke
of OIdenburg to the same capital were
connected with a plan TO make Prince
Eitel Frederick. the Enfberor's second
son, regent of Brunswick
IL is known that the present regent.
Prince Albert OF Prussia, Is desirous of
retiring. He is nearly seventy years old,
and lie finds his duties more and more
distasteful. The Grand Duke of OIden-
burg will be the father-in-law of Prince
Eftel, who is engaged TO his daughter.
Is Great Favorite.
Prince Eitel is a great favorite with
the people. and his selection as regent
would probably be welcomed in Bruins
wick. IT could hardly fail, however. 10
widen the already wide breach between
the Emperor and the Duke OF Cumbar-
land, who is the heir TO the throne OF
Brunswick, but who is debarred from
ascending II owing to his refusal to
give up his claim to the throne of Han
oyer.
It seems that all the Efforts to bring
about an understanding between the
Duke of Cumberland and the Kaiser
have failed, and the blame is placed up-
on the duke. who has given the EN-
Choice of Diet.
The Regent OF Brunswick is elected
by the diet OF that duchy, but doubtless
the diet would choose the Emperor S
nominee.
