* PRINCE EULENBURG AND THE

COURT SCANDALS.

END OF THE TRIAL.

The political effects of the libel action brought by General Count von Moltke against Herr Maximilian Hardes, the Berlin editor, on

The revelations scarcely be over-estimated. of the trial bave created the profoundest pensation throughout Germany. The Falea burg clique, which surrounded the Emperor, fa showa 10 bavo exercised the moet dangerous

Every one is asking what the Emperor's folling mast have been as he read, day by day, the reports of the trial with their appalling revelations of degenerate immor.lity in the. immediate environment of the throne,

The disclosures made by witner as who had taken the oath to tell the truth and nothing but the traib, must have been a terrible how to the Kaiser who was obliged to read, in common with millions of his subjects, that the men who were gathered around the throne, men whom he honoured with his personal friendship, and on whom be relied as sagacions political advisare, vers not only crimies's, bat crimina 8 of an abhorrently vicious type.

Acting on this recommendation the Kaiser bestowed wards of praise on this private for his supposed military virtaas,

"Mast we fear that these practices will be spread by the soldiers throughout the land? All Germans, however, including my client, have been disgusted by those revelations, which is proof that the kernel of the German people has nothing to do with these obscenities.

Think what you will of Count Hobenau nod but remember Count Lyner," cried counsel, that nothing, even in the remotest manner, bas bean proved as to my client being associated with them."

Dr. Bernstein addressed ths our for, the defence.

"Prinos Philip Eulsuborg did not appair ni a witness because he feared the law that imposes the penalty of pensi servitude for perjury,

After a withering reference to Count Moltke's views of matrimony, Dr. Bernstein continued

Men, res) men, shoe'd and must be the Kaiser's satourage. Otherwins the most despiasblə regime of favourites will win the upper hand in the German empire, sul Heaven prisarve us from that!"

How the Emperor came to be enlightened concerning the matters under investigation wis explained by an extract read by Dr. Berastein in the course of the long spotch which was in- terrupted by the return of the polios oficial Herr von Treskow and the witasse Vollect from their unsuccessful mission to Prince Enien- burg's residence. The passage quoted was from periodical devoted to payahological affairs and edited by Dr. Magans Hirschfeld, and ran as

Perhaps the most striking testimony given during this sensational trial was the sworn statement of a former trooper in a crack

General Hülsen-Hnasaler refused to do this, en the ples that Prince Phillp Ealen burg was not a military oper, but he paranaded the Crown Prines him to undertake the enlightenment of the Emperor. The Prince at first remonstrated, saying he felt too young for each a mission, but dally, on May 5, he mentioned the occurrences and the articles to the Emperor. The Emperor immediately sent for General Hülsen-Hoseler, Dr. v Bet unann-Hollweg Minister of the Interior, and Dr. von Berries, the Berlin Prefect of a conference of several hours" Police, and duration took place, with the result that Coast William Hohenae, Conat Kuno 201 Moltke, and Prince Philip Calenberg were diamisse from their positions. A fourth member of the circle mentioned by Harden prefaread to soul in his resignation before the catastrophe.".

All these revelations must have been a painful disillusionment for the Emperor, for they undoubtedly revealed grave danger, for semi-absolutism now existing in Germany.

If absolutism more ever excusabio, it would be in contemporary Germany. If any monarch ware capable of practising benevolent despotism for the benefit of his subjects, it would be William II., who is a man of versatile genius and lofty char star, and whose private life and conduct are above reproach.

Nevertheless, in spite of the Emperor's brilliant intellect al qualitise, and notwith. standing his good intentions, which his bitterest critics have never ventured to question, bene. Folent dospotism as practised in Germany has proved a disastrous failure, inasmuch it enabled vicicas oriminals to stand between the monarch and the nation and to exert a bauefal indones on the garniment of the Garmin

empire.

How baneful this influence was Herr Harder showed in his eloquent address to the court, Prince Eulenburg contributed largely to the downfall of Prince Bismarck, the greatest German alatosman who would probably have avoided the glaring errors in subsequent Ger man foreign policy if he had remained in office, Prince Eulenburg brought about the down fall of the second Chancellor of the Empire, Count von Caprivi. The third Chatello, Prinos Hebeslehe recorded his damning verdict on Prince Enfenbarg in his memoirs, published a year ago, which attracted so much attention. The fourth and present Chancellor, Prines Buslow, although created by Prince Ealenbarg, is now his relentless enemy. When Prince Buelow was summoned to Berlin to become Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, this post being the stepping stone to the Chancellor ahip, it was Prince Balenburg who recommend ed him to the Emperor.

Prince Barlow was then Ambassador at Rome. He had married an Italian princess, and did not desire to return to Berlin. He did his utmost to avade the new responsibilities thrust upon him, Princess Buelow, who was strongly averse from leaving Rome, did not travel ta Berlis, as one would naturally expect to prevent Prince Baslow's appointment as Secretary of State, but to Vienne, where Frince Entenburg was then German Ambassador.

Princess Buelow implored Prince Ealenburg to allow her husband to remain at Rome, Prince Eulenburg was unmoved, and insisted that Prince Buelow should go to Berlin. During big conversation with the supplicating Princess he dropped the significant remark. am not a king, but a maker of kings."

Daring the Morocco erisis, Prince Eulen- barg's intimate friend, the French attaché M. Lecomte, was frequently enabled to e nd the French Government valuable information obtained indirectly from the Emperor through the Emperor's circle of chosen friends and adrisers, headed by Prince Enlenburg.

Herr Harden's declaration last there have been two conflicting German policies-one. conducted by the Emperor, the other by Prince Bue'ow-will hardly surprise any one who ha followed Germany's oratio course of action during the Merocca crisis, but he revealed more clearly than ever has been done before the grave dangera which must inevitably arise when irresponsible advisera behind the re Court erercise mere influence on the policy of the country than the responsible Ministers and elected representatives of the nation.

Dr. Bernstein proceeded: "It is here stated that the plaintiff lost his position owing to charges of perverted feelination. Daring this. trial the plaintiff has declared that the loss of his post had nothing to do with those charges. If this statement of the plaintiff is not correct. it is a farther contribution towards the solution of the question whether such a man is suitable to hold the position towards bis Majesty that he did. It is also a contribution to the question whether the incredible really happened, namely, that dospite the truth of these facts no audacious attempt was made to dupe all Germany in regard to the affair."

At a later stage of the proceellogs Dr. Bera-. stein wade a statement which Dr. Paul Liman, be declared, would give on oath, and which was made to him by Prince Bismarck about the Schloss- Liebenberg circle of friends. After some coars remarks on the proclivities of the set, Bismarck Paid: "These people meat in Schloss-Lisboa- borg. They make a circle about the Emperor and sook to induenos hie policy and bring him into conflict with his responsible advisers. They seek to impose their will on the Emperor and keep everything from his knowledge that does not suit them. These men are the Emperor's inferiors in intellect and will-power, have sopoladed a mutual life insuranse suong them- selves. The worst of it is that these gentlemen always say that the Monarch is in the right: when the Emperor expresses an opinion. Whan be looks round he sees nothing but agreeing and adoring face.
