St Petersburg, May 3.-An outstanding
feature of Eastern honors in Russia is
the restoration of Count Witte to the
Cars favor. 1t was just seven years
ago since White was cast into deep dis
grace because of the results of the cleo

took place while he was Prime Minister
and produced a revolutionary Assembly.
There is again e. complete deadlock
between the Douma and the governing
bureaucracy. 1t has been six months
since the Douma session began, and
the government has not ventured so far
as to put any Legislative programme be-
fore it.
A stronger man than the present
Prime Minister, Kokovtseff, is needed
and il is recognized that the Car is
turning again TO Count White.

Berlin May 3.-The Kaiser is extreme
ly anxious that his future son-in-law.
Prince Ernest Augustus of Cumberland.
should not remain idle. The Kaiser 5
favorite motto Is "idleness is the mother
of all mischief" and he wants his
daughters husband to keep out of all
mischief.
He, therefore, has decided to give
Prince Ernest occupation. and on the
day of the marriage hand him titles as
the Duke of Brunswick and Grand Duke
of Lunebourg.
The prince then will have q very re-
sponsible job among the princes of the
German Empire and will be considered
the equal in rank of the Kings of Sax
ony and the Prince Regent of Bavaria.
He will have to reign over new state
which the Kaiser is now shaping out by
the simple process of turning a consid-
cradle portion of the province Of Han
over, which belongs TO Prussia, into
the new grand duchp OF Lunebourg.
Dissatisfaction At Action.
Great dissatisfaction is expressed
everywhere in Germany at the kaisers

but the Emperor is absolute master in
these matters and will receive no ad-
vice.
His daughter has asked him to create
this new grand duchy for the sake of
her husband, and that is enough for
William III.
Chagrin is said to be felt, not alone
by the Hamburg-American Line, but in
government circles, over the accidents
and minor defects which have occurred
in the steamship Imperator When the
big liner stuck in the mud on the Elbe
on leaving the Vulcan Shipouildng
Yards at Hamburg for Cuxhaven, the
Kaiser telegraphed his regrets that he
could not go on the official trial trip
to Gibraltar the following Monday.
Empess stopped Kaiser.
According to one Berlin paper, the
Empress, after this small incident, did
not stop until she had persuaded the
Kaiser not to make the trip until the
vessel had been tried out at sea.
Officially it was given out that the
political situation prevented the Kaiser
from going. The latter delegated the
Crown Prince to go in His place. The
Crown Prince, it is rumored, was not
oyerjoyed with the assignment, not be-
cause he is superstitious, but because
of the company the Kaiser had selected
to go on the trip. The tastes of father
and son in regard to friends do not
run parallel.
The Crown Prince, it is said, would
rather select his own following. Now
that the trip is put on two weeks, the
Crown Prince probably will be allowed
to do SO.
