TRIP AN COURT SCANDAL.

Press Association. —Copyright. Berlin, October 28. Mi A tke protested that his friendship with Enleuhurg was above suspicion. ! , r e declared that he retired from tho Commaudautship with honour. ' Harden, in a two hours’ speech, made, a remarkable _ political and moral indictment against the Euloubnig clique, and emphasised that the . i Prince told the Kaiser one day about current reports, and M.oitka resigned the next. Harden dro-j-vred that four Chancellors had rrh d. but failed, to eliminate Eulenhurg’s influence. Harden stated that Lormute, Counsellor of the French Embassy, who was one of Enieuburg’s clique, tried Ho_ arrange a meeting between the Kaiser and the French President on the pretext that reconciliation was possible. The Kaiser spent an hour or two at Liedouherg Castle, talking with Enlouburg. Lecomte, though a friend of Eulenhurg, asserted that they only talked of art and French literature.

Herr Harden implied that he could have shown that tho whole of tho cavalry regiments were infected with vice, had lie desired to dwell on the disgnstingjorgies, also the immoral proposals made oven to the Prussian Minister of the Interior. But his only desire was to avert disastrous political developments which in the case of Slorocco brought two countries to the verge of war. Ho declared that', the Kaiser’s decision was “away with Eulenburg, away with Hoheuau for ever.’’ He had nothing definite against Moltke, who must clear himself or be stoned. Meanwhile he had been placed on half pay. Herr Harden concluded : “ I prefer to servo the Kaiser by telliug him the truth and not by worshipping.” Immense crowds outside cheered Harden wildly when his wife kissed him in tho street.
