gagged in making his preparations to accom-
plish his work. Under the law the enumeration
the 1St Of june and therefore none of the dis
tricts over which a canvasscr will pass are very
large. With a view to the work being done as
expeditiously as possible, he has divided the
District OF Columbia into 80 dtstrtcts-s in the
county, in Georgetown ana 10 In this city. AS

with the care being taken, the census, as
thoroughly taken than ever before. Col. b.

Prince Bismarck to the Prussian
kepreSentatiVeS.

Reuters Telegram company says: '.The official
GGzette publishes a dispatch from Prince Bis
marck to the Prussian representatives accredited
to the government of the federal states dealing
with the Altoona and st. PAUL. question, in
Which he states that the committees OF the
Bundesrath have unanimously resolved to re-
Of the question, and to keep altogether out OF
consideration the constitutional aspect OF
the case. He lays stress on the necessity
sake oq as r as nos for
constitutional rights involved. Prince Bis
marck points out that it is the fndisputable
right of Prussia to divide any portion of her
own territory from the Hamburg Tree port dis
trfct, and he maintains that the proposed
severance Of St PAUL. has not been urged in
the interest OF Prussia as it is an advantage to
Altoona that ST. Pault should remain outside OF
the ZollvereA, but thai 1t was rather in the In.
terest of Hamburg that the new customs line
was proposed. The Bundesrath, he saws can
Geclde upon the customs line without entering
into an examination OF the constitutional
bearing OF the question which would likely pro-
duce conflict of optnion. Those governments
which consider that by the severance of ST.
PAUL. from the Hamburg district, the constitution
OF the empire would be violated, can vote
against the proposal But In that case Prince
bismarck would not advise the Emperor to re-
nounce his right to uphold demand which is
undoubtedly no fnfraction OF the constitution
Prince Bismarck next urges the necessity or
maintaining unimpaired the concord between
the governments, and expresses the hope that
burg may be settled by arrangement and with
cut resorting to a decision by majoritfes and
m1norities. Prussia, he says, VIII Will
ingly take into consideration any right
proposal which would In its effects be in accord
ance with the constitution, provided that the
federal government make an unanimous en-
deavor to oppose with one accord the attempts
OF certain members of the Reichstag to limit the
authority OF the BundeSrath.
