LIN 1AAONs
BERLIN, June 30.
The details of DR.. Falck's journey in the
Rhine country create no little satisfaction
at Berlin. The wealthiest and most cultivated
portion Of society has given him a very warm
reception at Bonn, Cologne, and Dusseldorf
At Cologne the ancient Patrician families were
numerously represented among those throngIng
to greet the Minister identified with the new
ecclesiastical legislation. At Bonn citizens,
professors, and students We'd with each other
10 fitting the travelling member Of the Cabinet,
while the welcome awarded him at Dusseldorf
is described as the ~grandest and warmest OF
all. At Bonn the Minister told his admirers
that the Emperor, in decorating him with the
Order of the Red Eagle, had desired him IN
his official activity to remember the ancient
motto Of these lands" Sincere ct C0nStaateT."
At the students meeting at the same city the
Minister proposed a solemn "Salamander'-
8. g., a students toast, executed not by force
of lung, but by grasp of glasses-in honour
of concord. Professor Lipschuetz, the Rector
of the University, who responded, proposed
the health Of all those who never ceased to
learn, and, above all others, Of Prince Bis
marck, who had had to learn a great deal before
he was wise enough to call DR.. Falck to his
assistance in the war against the Powers OF
Darkness.
THE UNITED STATES.
New YORK June 80.
The Jury in the Beecher-TiIton case are
still locked up.
MADRID, July l..
Political affairs are extremely dull.
There is much talk pro and con- Of a conyoca-
ton of the Cortes, but the difficulty has first to
be settled as to what suffrage shall be adopt
ed.
The Committee selected to draught the bases
of the Constitution have held many meetings,
but with closed doors. There is every reason
to believe that the religious question will be a
stumbling block.
Since attending the Royal banquet Scnor
Sagasta and his Party have made not the least
political approach to the actual Cabinet, nor
have they expressed any adhesion to its poll.
