PHILADELPHIA.
Advance of Rates.

PHILADELPHIA, September 3O.-The
Pottsville Miners Journal says that the
Reading Railroad Company gives notice
that it will again advance tolls on the
first of October. This advance, it was
exected, would be about twenty cents
per ton and the Scranton sale prices
should indicate a greater rise in order to
cover the higher tolls. Since the sale
the Reading Company has thoush ht it
best not to advance the highest figures
at present, probably looking upon the
result of the sales as an index of what
the trade will bear. Il therefore an.
nounces an advance OF fifteen cents per
ton, 70 take effect tomorrow.

FOREIGN NOTES.
AIsace and Lorratne-PacifHc Speech n
Prince bismarck.

AIsace and Lorraine-Pacinc Speech n
Prince Btsmarck.
In the German Diet, ON the Sd Of June, the
bill for the incorporation of Alsace was
brought up for a third reading. Clause l wae
agreed to with only two dissentent votes. on
clause Prince Bismarck stated that the atti-
tude he assumed during the last discussion was
not attributable to any self-will. He had not
perhaps, employed sufficiently explicit expres,
sions, but that was due to the fact OF their not
baving been prepared beforehand The
difference between his views and those of
the Parliament consisted In his considering that
the wishes and requirements of the country
were not sufficiently taken into account in the
decisions arrived at by the Parliament. n was
possible, perhaps, that even before 1873 he
might be in position TO propose that the Alsa-
tion he might also admit them before that date
to the Federal Council. He persisted in the
wish for longer term of dictatorial power be-
cause he believed that the Government would
for time treat Alsace in a more gener-
GUS manner than Parliament. He
pointed out the pecularities of the conn
try. which 1t would be necessary to handle
with care, mentioning as instances the positions
OF lawyers and bailiffs, whose offices had
hitherto been acquired by purchase and who
would therefore have to be indemniaed If the
present arrangements were modified. Such
labors as these notifications would rende
necessary were not suitable for the action of
Parliament; otherwise. the duration of session
would be illimitable. He begged that, if after
bis long absence his speeches lacked prepare
ton, the House would not conclude from the
manner in which he argued question that he
was laboripg under any deep seated ill-humor
The House must allow for his susceptibility. At
later stage of the discussion Prince Bismarck
stated, in order to avoid any misunderstanding.
that the participations of Alsace in the delibe"
rations of the Parliament would not be Identical
with the introduction OF the Imperial Copstitu-
ton in Alsace, but would rather be sort of pre-
paratory course. In the bill it was provided
that some portions of the constitution might be
put in force before the validity of the bill
ceased, and this might be done with regard to
electoral rights without thereby restricting
legislation for Alsace to parliamentary form
Clause was then adopted, as proposed by the
committee; 1t provides that the dictatorial
power shall last until the LIST of January, 1873
After a short debate the remaining paraprapbs
and subsequently the whole bill, were adopted
