Germanta calls attention to the very interesting
iast that the circular despatch just puolished Dy
Prince Bismarck was written on the same day as
the refusal OF the Vatican 10 accept Cardinal
Hohenone as Ambassador 10 the Papal see was
discussed III the Rechstag Bismarck ianclea
that Dy having Cardinal In Rome ne could easily
exert the influence in the fapal elections ne
so much desired. But the Vatlcan saw through
the Chancellor's cunning and refused TO accept
tue honor NO wonder tnat Bismarck got angry
and wrote dispatches which he desires TO Keep SO
secret from the world
THE SPANISH COUP p'ETAT

THE SITUATION AT NEW YEAR,
The New Years receptions at the Berlin Court do
not furnish me with much to comment upon.

replied by expressing his gratitude TO God mat ne

Eve on the streets OF Berlln was not quite as NOISY
as IN previous years. Inc old custom OF knocking

The banisament OF French terms from the Ger

GER. AMY 1t Is pushing DENOMINATION somewhat
for. During the war there was great outcry
against the use OF French words in the German
language, but 1t did no good; and they have since
then been adopted and German.svered by the
