An opinion prevails that Boyle has met a similar fate to that of Benwell's.

All Paris is talking about a quarrel which occurred between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Marlborough here this week as the Prince passed through this city on his way from Berlin to Cannes.
The quarrel x sulted from an interview which was held in the Prince's drawing-room of the Hotel Bristol. The interview was solicited by the Duke of Marlborough and lasted longer than is usual in a visit of courtesy or in a friendly call. It was moreover held strictly tete-a-tete on Wednesday,
The Prince, after lunching with Baron Hirsch, was cros ing through Faubourg St. Honore on foot to Elysee, and was within in yards of the principal entrance when the Duke of Marl borough passed. It was then seen, to the astonishment of everybody who knew how friendly the relations of the Prince and Duke used to be, that when Marlborough rais d his hat to salute the Prince the latter turned away his head without giving the slitest sign of recognition and walked on, curting the Duke dead.
Such is the story told everywhere. Last night various suppositions as to the cause of the quarrel are afloat.
The exact scope of the expedition is not yet Emperor will decline to consent to the adoption of any colonial policy antagonistic to England During the visit of the Prince of Wales the Emperor did everything possible to show the value he attached to a close friendship between the two nations,
The Emperor's solicitude regarding the army is further shown in the Imperial order published to-day, to the effect that, in view of its incompleteness, the reserve infantry military officers' system hitberto pursued, which provides that officers must come from the ranks of nobility, must be extended to include those of noble character, in order that the sons of honor. able middle-class families may holdappointments in the army.
The same rules are also to apply to the civil service. The Emperor further disapproves of the bolding of a commission being dependent apan the private income of the aspirants, and therefore decrees that their pay be increased.
At much length he enjoins Commanders to set the example of self-sacrifice to officers and check indulgences in unnecessary luxuries, the habit of making costly presents, and giving frequent banquets.
In conclusion the Emperor desires that a list the names of officers who do not conform to the of aspirants be submitted to him, together with

The Southern States of the German Empire are beginning to manifest very serious signs of revult ngalast the despotic and encroaching nature of the control which the Prussian Govern ment has gradually acquired over her affairs. Memories of military glory warmed their hearts to old Emperor William, and especially toward Emperor Frederick, who had commanded the great Southern Army Corps in the war of 1870 against the French, but no soch sentiment fills their hearts toward the new Emperor, who has taken but little pains to win the affectionate regard of the South, which his lamented father enjoyed.

Wales undoubtedly felt this difference keenly, and the reports of his ill health were sent out to excuse him from appearing any oftener than possible.
