Bismarcks Appeal 10 the Electors'
E BERLIN, September 25.-The Prori'-
ciaL Correspondence publishes an appeal
to the Prussian electors on behalf of
Bismarck, urging them TO trust him
once more in the approaching elections
to the Landtag. 1t directs the atten-
ton oithe Catholics to the fact that the
Chancellor has been actively negotiating
with a distinguished papal envoy at
Gastein, without, however, giving any
hint of the result, while it assures the
Liberals, from official sources, that the
supreme power OF the State affairs will
be i'm no wise sacrificed. 1t offers to
the military and upper classes the spec
tacle OF bold and open consolidation
of the Austrian Alliance, and to all 1t
promises reduction of the direct taxes
The article states that it will be the
duty Of the next Landtag to complete
the purchase of private railways by the
state and effect their thorough Organlza-
tion, so that the country may enjoy
them in uniformity, convenience and
cheapsess. The article concludes: LET
the electors take care that the next
Iandtag consists oil an Overwhelming
body of members who, on the ground
OF common economical endeavOrs, have
full sympathy with Bismarck and the
government rs to the consequences to
Prussian taxation and German economi-
cal reform.

The Afghan Question.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 25.-The

Russia is intriguing with Afghanistan,
and says: Had Russia wished to create
difficulties for England, she would have
liberated Abdul Rhanian, the preten-

contrary, she is watching in Samarcand,
and preventing his flight to Afghanis-
tan. The Agmcc Russo concludes as fol-
lows: Events at Cabul and in the Tur-
