7 LEG MACON. GA., MONDAY MORNING'S SEPTEMBER 10. 1891. dingle Copy,£3 Cent* BUDGET OF NEWS FROM VATERLAND The Emperor's Koenigsberg Speech May Intensify Agrarian Opposi tion in the Reichstag. THE EAST PRUSSIAN LANDLORDS Ilnd Cnn Allured of the Kmperai'j Con ciliatory Plane, bat Hie Speech Hue Olipetled Hope In That Direction—OlU©r New*, f Berlin, Sep*. 9.—K la too early to a.ty 1 what effect the ecnoerar'a speech will have on atgrarlati opposition. The no- blemon at the head of the .agrarian league have given n’j dear rfegn of their Iment'ons. nvfaatever they may be. They are trail sullen -and discontented. While the emoeror’a KcenOgsber* plan was under ctmsldeiukton ‘weeks ago, overtures .were anode ito the great load- lords of East Prueila. The emperor In dicated beyond doubt his eagerness to conolKa’te them. (It Is understood that these overtures had bean successful and that Chancellor von Caprivt, to cele brate Ete end at the agrarian fetid, would oewomaany h'io majesty do Koe- itlgeiberg. In fact. Ithe emperor’s ad vances were recognised by the East Prussian nctolll’ty, who resigned them selves doggedly to u severe public re- - proof. Even this mtgMt have been avoided or moderated had the leading aristocrats of the Koenlgiibens district /.Ined In the popular reception of the Imperial party on September 4. The empress had nolt visited Koenigsberg before, und all loyal Germans thought the agrarians would bei courteous enough to sink temporarily their polit ical differences and welcome her cor dially. The agrarians thought other wise. Among those receiving the royal couple there was not a Conspicuous member of the Kaitvltz. Mlrtiuch or Do nah families. The enthusiasm of the papular welcome left their absence un til noticed .by the general public, uI- -it.iJos.1 ai the imperial circle Caere Wit3 'no lack of wtuterness und contempt. To ene emperor this snub was no surprise. Me hud already given uount Dosnholf special mark bf favor. As this gentle man has got the cold Shoulder Hum his jKlglubois ever since he cut loose fruin the sigtatluins iand drew near the em peror, the cinniror wau not expiotlng couiKian-t agrarian courtesy. / Amid it'he varveng preus Comments on the speech ore a few ‘Which touched the main question: "WMl the Pruralan no bility (peraiut; In their opposition?:' The authors of these pertinent uptloleo tu- gue (ohaf the emperor’s appeuran'oe -Will bring bo hint German -land owners who for i'amr aune have followed M'li'bifch. Plooht and company very reludtuntly and have been eager to renew thulr pu- llctcal all-'giance to the crouch. The c-m- f peror’s war cry "for religion, morality und order against (t'hc force of revolt,” •; Is taken as a direct appeal for support • in the -coming conflict between the gdv- ’ ernmenlt bn one side and the Social Democrats and lAnarchlst* on the cither. The Liberals fear that .the government will not keett the bounds thus deflned. They suspect some reaction'll: proposals behind the Imperial phrases. They ob ject, moreover, to the peculiar power wiidoh the emoeror can, and if aeces- tary will employ. Ito discipline recalci trants by threatening to exclude ithem from the ofllclal places <tt count and the social functions so dear to the conserv ative heart. That the emperor will not hesitate to dfieot a boycott against stub born opponents was shown by the ex clusion of Counts Miihach and K-nnltz from the Koenigsberg banquet. Very taw PruBBtam noblemen could withstand such pressure. The Kreuz Ze'itung, or gan of the feudal nobility, admits sor rowfully that the logical conclusion of the ompei'or'a speech means .the recom pense of his friends and the disgrace of hVj adversaries. /' "Nevertheless.” Ot soys, "the govern- nvc/rjt’s economic policy eo grievously uf- feeta the loyal adherents of the throne that they happily find In fidelity to their Constituents the Strength necessa ry to bear with bitterness the imperial displeasure.” Tne Kreuze Zcltuug Is supposed to have struck the keynote of the ulti mate surrender. While unwilling to yield unless their demands for more protection be granted, the big conser vatives are ezpected to return to their allegiance, one by'one, under the pre- ‘euse that their loyalty must go before heir economic convictions. The llber- and radicals think that home reso ist measure may be the condition of the conservative party’s return to the government fold. The radical lead ers say they understood tliu Prussian government has been approached by the e nscrvutlves with a proposal to abolish universal suffrage, revive the anti-soctsUai laws, limit the right of assembly, and suppress the right of boycott. The conservatives are said to have laid out a reactionist plan for the nest session of the landtag. They will open this campaign, the radicals say, with a motion concerning the rights of assembly nnd_ussodatluu, and will suf fer no opposition from the government. The proposal to restrict the franchise in Imperial elections conies from the ex treme conservatives, and 1ms only a small hearing. While the Richter party Is always conjuring up fears of u reaction, their forebodings ure not entirely unfounded this time. The htndtag will undoubtedly be the scene of the old time liberal struggle all along the line. The ministerial council will consider the conservative projects after the chancellor's reiurtr from Carlsbad. 1 Tne new American tariff gets Its share of attention from the press, al though nobody knows the status of the negotiations between the’ Washington end Berlin governments. Tne Kreuz Zeitung proposes that Germany Increase the sugar premium, after the French method, and give ef fect to the petition of the beet sugar producers for retaliation- The Frels.immige Zeitung rays: "We hope that, for the sake of the export ers and tne people at large, the gov ernment will do nothing likely to cloud Germany’s economic relations to the United States.” The McKinley Mil almost killed the mother of-pearl Industry in Austria by r”ing up a tax that amounted to 140 per tout. Under the new rate, which is about 84 per cent., it will be possible to revive the business. The reduction of the duty on gloves and Bohemian glassware has been received thank fully by the Austrian manufacturer.). The emperdr is not so interested In the maneuvers that he has forgotten the races. He bad the ’Bjden races wired hint. Camp talk ts that the emperor has introduced among his officers a Hew drink which he learned to brew In the dragoon mess at Aldershot. He uses three bottles of red wine, a fresh cu cumber Iced and peeled, and three glosses of marnuohina. The mixture Is not sweetened. It la called "cucum ber punch." t The municipal authorities of Hoel- brunn have forbidden the site of American canned com beef which is not accompanied by un American cer tificate. The Inauguration of the new rclch- utag building hue been postponed at the emperor’s Instance from October 18 till the opening of the session In Novem ber. The ceremony will be os elabor ate and pompous us the whole court and the state establishment In Berlin and the representatives of all tlhe fed eral governments can make It. The agricultural exhibition In Tre- petow park, after attracting more vis itors than any exhibition of Its kind ever held In Germany, closed with n deficit of 30,000 murks. This Is regard ed as proof that an exhibition In Berlin cannot b,« made to pay. The Lelpsic fair lias drawn a larger crowd than In tuny previous year. The city Is full of visitors, and business Is brisk- English and American residents of Dresden have f rmed a society for the protection of strangers. Their aim Is to advise newcomers and -warn them against swindlers. They have already done much good In warning strangers of various frauds. The city helps pay the association's expenses. iMiss Cotton has established under Americas auspices a knRting society for tho poor. GERMAIN ARMY PRACTICE. . Berlin, Sept. 9.—Tlio Seventeenth army corps manoeuvred near Sclilolxt- ten yesterday. The western division made an advance. The commander of the eastern division sent forward cav alry to attack the enemy’s right wing. Two hussar regiments led the charge, which was executed magnificently, de spite .the unevenness of the ground. They broke through the line of skir mishers, but, upon meeting the com pact bodies behind, were forced to re treat hastily, with heavy losses. Two other cavalry brigades were sent out by tho eastern army but they did no better. Mcnntlme the western artil lery had silenced the eastern army’s guns, thus deckling the Issue of the battle. r • Emperor William delivered his crit icism to the generals oa tho sandy plain of Grucnnu and then rode away with bis suite to the Elbing railroad station.
