surprise. The rejection Of the echeme
by the government committee does not
amount to a Parliamentary defeat, but
bismarck is 80 accustomed to have his

rest content with this initial overthrow
OF the project. Immediately on the de-
cision becoming known, he sent for the
Minister of Finance. The Chancellor's

worry now occasioned, and ON the earn
est protestations OF his family he has
abandoned the idea of visiting the En-
peror before Christmas.

dents assembled before the Czarowitch's s
palace to present apetition. The Caro-
witch being at Zarskoe Selo, the project
of police hastened to the palace, re-
ceiyed the petition and ordered the

illegal to present a petition in such a
manner. On the l4th inst. 4genoe Russs
announced that in consequence of an
illegal demonstration by students OF the

curing public order. The Official .Messen-

rector that the disturbances were
