THR i.i HMAS CA ri I AI.
Berum. April 6.?It is affirmed to-night tlmt
Emperor Frederick insist* upon the marriage of
Lis daughter to Prince Alexander.
It is also stated that Kmi>eror Frederick intend
nl to confer upon Alexander the title of " Fursf
tn proof of thc latter's final renunciation of his
...ii.lidature for thc Bulgarian throne, nnd thus
remote all seruplcs regarding thc betrothal of
A.xander and Princess Vittoria. Prince Bis?
marck, however, protested against this course.
Doulits are expressed in well informed circles
gs to whether the differences lietween B__pe___
Frederick and Prince Bismarck, which arc be?
ttered to extend also to matters of internal policy,
tun bc arranged.
Thc " National Zeitung" says that the renewed
?ffort*. to obtain the consent of thc Emi*cr.r to thc
marriage of his daughter. Princess Victoria, to
Prime Alexander have not been successful. For
this reason there* are no longer any grounds for a
_ci r* t conflict between Prince Bisinurck and the
tm ik-ror. und therefore there is no c.ut_tion what?
ever of Prince Bismarck re-signing.
" It is self-evident," conlinues tins journal, " that
thc f opt?l is bound to be regarded as a matter
Sleeting thc l-Toprai jfolicy of Germany, and
Prince Bismarck would therefore oppose it. As
in ii.minny Ute nioiKirch is thc supreme lender
?.I the Suite, the fan.iiy connections ol the dynasty
can never be without importance, and fut- this
r.iis..ii especially tbe creation of a dynastic alliance

situation in Ear-ope, troald embanae- thai German
noller lor tlie support of which the l.oichstng
aaa fust (ranted 700,000 nun and three hundn-d
million marka. To admii the possibility only of
the effect of a eaeriflc. ol this kind being weakened
bx penonal wishes regarding this matrimonial
all,alice* wi.uld lie to mistake the position Of oar
Imperial house. The content of the __npe_of to
Ihe alllaaee will rarely be refaaed."
The "Cologne c;.i/-tt"" say-: "Political eon
?'detatiotUI forbid In thc* most positive nianll.r
an alliance betare n Prince Alexanaei and Princeas
Victoria, as lending to an ____edlote disturbance
of thc* relations between Germany and Russia.
In any casr- it would be impossible foi Prince liis

niobl favorable for tha lueeeN of the Stale Convention
of K.-publicans and Republican club.:, which will open
here on Tuesday, in all parts of thc State the liveliest
Interest ls manifested In the assembly, and there ls
avery reason to think that lt will bo one of the most
notable gatherings of the party that ba. Rita held In

school districts In towns When no clubs have yet

This contention ls largely tho result of the efforts
maile by ihe Young Republican League of Ihe State,
lu carrying out the grc.it work of Hie National League
?complete* party organization. The Slate League has
already over twenty local clubs formed and lu good
working order. It proposes lo Insrcase Ibis number
until, If possible, svsrj Republican In Ihe State ls en?

matter baton the members of tne party for full dis
eaastoa, and to adopt such means as will be thought
best to give effect to thc Ideas of the League. There
lois barn slight friction between the members of the
League and the older party leaders lu NM places,
owing to a 'light misunderstanding as lo thc paipoee.
of the new nrgialiatlWl Rut now that lt ls gener?

TWO -l.NATOIlaS WHO ? MISUNDERSTOOD."
Senator Laughlin swerveil from the line ()f his
?penh on tl..- Can.il Improvement bill to-day to say
that th.* baden Bf lha Bepuhlican inirty were
misapprehending th.* cit sir s of tba K* puhiicaus
who live in the cities in their neut advice re
ipccting tdBpeianoe legislation. Mr. Laughlin
alao 111loim.1i the Senate that he voted under a
misuppnlienalon of its character, on Tuoadar for
Sc 11 .t lr la<-wis's hid limit n:,r the Bamhei of salomi*
in every city or town to ono lor every ooo of
pt.puiatn.il. *' Buffalo has so grown in popula?
tion, ?' said Senator Laughlin to "Tba Tribune,"
corresponileiit, " that aucn ii bill, if it became a
law. are aid vastly tiinniiish tba Bamber ef saloons
in thal city."
Bf Mt or Laughlin stated to the Sc-nate that he
" misiin.lei'stooir the character of thc- hill ami de?
sired to have that fuel recorded on the journal.
Senator CoggeehaU then Infotnted the Senate
that lu* also hud " mi-aB-kU-teed** thc hill of
Senator Lewie, or he would aol hav.* roted foe
it. Thc hill was passed with nineteen allirmativu
I. t s in its tavor. Subtracting tho vote! of
Senators laittighlin und Coggcaball ami the hill
would have received only seventeen votes, just
sufficient to (kiss it.
Senator Hendricks regards tb** Lewis bill a. one
of tin* most rudical tenipeiantM -tenum ever
passed in a House af the Ligtalatuie.
" If that lacwis hill hceomes a law,"1 said Senator
Cantoi, D-inoerat, of New-Vork. j. sti relay, "lt
will reduce thc number of saloons iu New-York
from 10,000 to 6,000.*
Senator Bohc-rtson saitl to-day: " I am in favor
of paaaiBg tim High License bill just, us it came
frmn ihe Aaaeaably. If people wish to lower tlie
beer license after the bill becomes a law* they caa
iutralucc u supplemental bill. Wc sin.ul.I not ia
any case return the bill to tbe Assembly. It
would be perilous to do so."
Senator Sloan, of Oswego County, and Senator
Hendricks expressed precisely thc same views.
).\T. CITY MHAlOl FRANKLY IOU IIICJII UC-MHI
One city Senator is frankly for tba bill. Thia
is Eugene W. O'Connor, ono of tho Bepuhlican
Senators from Brooklyn. " It is my opinion,* ho
said this alt -moon " that we should pass the High
License hill as it came from the Assembly without
in amendment. The bill is an excellent one aa
it stands and should bc accepted by the Senate
It will have my hearty support uod I shall vule
igjimst amending lt iu any way."
lhere is some hope among the friends of the
High License bill that two Democrats, Senator
Liuson, of Kingston, and Senator McNaughton, of
Rochester, will voUj for it. Senator Liusou waa
Un oniy ile-niocrat who voted for iieuutor Lewis's
bill limiting the number of saloons; while Senator
McNaughton owed his election to tba votes of a
large: number of temperance Bopublicana wbo
boiled the nomination of a R* publican toa
Senator who bad formerly been in tho
liquor business. But if the Lvniocwtiu
Senator, rall vote to amend the bill,
ns it is now expected their will, and six Re?
publican Senators vote witn them, a majority,
ivill bc obtained for the change. It is ch-ur from
he taik of Hie lobbyists who arc working against*
.he High License bill that they hope tu persuade
.ix Republican Senators to vote to amcud the
nil. Il is also evident that the six Bepuhlican
?Anatol*, from whom these votes are ex rn-ted are
Senator Worth, of Brooklyn; Senator Van Cott,
yt New-York; Senator Bussell, of Albany j Suatoi
.'oggesball, of Utica; Senator Sweet, of Waterloo,
ind Senator Laughlin, of Buffalo. Two of the
{epublican Senators, Mr. Worth and Mr. Laughlin,
t is bettered, will not vote for thc bill, no matter
abet amendments arc made to it. 1 he following
'..urteeii BcpubUoan Senators, lt is thought, will
ippose any amendment of tho bill and vote foi
t ns it stands: Senators Hawkins, O'Connor,
'jpXT. Deane, Krwin, Kellog, Sloan, Fassett. Robert?
on, Lewis, Hendricks, Vedder, Walker anil Baines.
Jnder the circumstance-, the caucus of tbe lia*.
lublican Senators on Monday night on the High
aicense bill will hu looked u^kiu with great lac*
er.- a by the public.
