, BERLIN, October 6. Tho Kaiser, who has returned from a five-weeks’ holiday at Potsdam, has taken personal charge of the Guelph situation. He has cent the Imperial Chancellor to Munich to confer with the Regent of Bavaria, whose mediation with the Duke u is sought. Meanwhile there is no announcement of the Prussian Government’s policy. Public opinion unalterably opposes a Guelph assuming the Brunswick Throne until he explicitly renounces that of Hanover.

The Nationalist Press threaten the Kaiser with a storm which will reduce that of November, 1908, to the dimensions of a summer zephyr. A semi-official communique describes Prince Ernest’s attitude as exemplary, and utterly opposed to the Guelph machinations. It states that the Prince is coining to Potsdam this week. LONDON, October 6. The ‘Daily Mail’s’ Berlin correspondent advises that the Prussian Court are not so anxious to act hastily, because the question of succession is less acute than it was formerly. [Tho reference to November, 1908, is to the storm of indignation that followed on the publication of an interview with the Kaiser in the London ‘ Daily Telegraph.’ On that occasion a practically unanimous protest against the intervention of the Emperor in foreign policy was raised by the leaders of the chief parlies in the Reichstag. Prince Von Billow, the then Imperial Chancellor, tendered bis resignation, but the Kaiser declined to accept it.]
