Indications of Diplomatic Campaign
to Crush the British.
BERLIN, March 3-The German Minis
terial organs associate the alliance of
Russia, Germany and Austria with the
coming league of Continental powers
against the maritime and commercial pre-
pOndance of England. A notable article
appears in Die Kreuzzlitung, which pre-
diets the formation of a league, including
France, to break the iDsular supremacy of
England, which, it says, by the anneXa-
ton OF Egypt has completed the links of
a gigantic chain extending from Gibraltar
to China, and coiled around the body of
Europe, mOnOpolizing the commerce of
the world and making the Mediterranean
sea and the Indian Ocean English.
The Berlin Post urges France to Join
an alliance promising more substantial
bonetits than those arising from her en-
tiente with England. DR.. Busch, the Un-
der Foreign Secretary, in an article in
Die GTenSb0ten, remarks that Russia's
progress toward India, is a matter of in

says, sis no longer our allv, but regards

THAT conspiracy, if it was a conspir-

the grand jury before it had
had an opportunity to work. The people
thought that something ought to be done.

said that Smith had been appointed at the

feel like removing him.
''Did not Smith dismiss the grand jury
because there was no moneys" was

''There was plenty oil money!" replied
the witness, land I'll tell you how it was
spent. Smith demanded in open court
that charge be investigated, and that
witnesses be sent for. l refused to pay
out money for witnesses, believing that
Smiths case was personal matter, and
asked the Department of Justice for
instructions. 1 was ordered to pay the

correspondent tonight that as soon as
his Lasker resolution reaches the State
Department from Prince Bismarck he

Speaker Carlisle under a privilege, and
will speak on the resolution. He saws
the question has assumed a phase entirely
foreign to that purpOsed at the time the
resolution was introduced. IT is now
a matter of retaliation. Gel. Ochiltree
SAID that in view of the fact that he had
known Herr Lasker for many years, and
that having only a few days before his
death dined him, introduced him to the
President. members of the Cabinet and
other distinguished men here, that it was
but proper that he should have thrown n
little flower in the shape of a resolution
upon his grave. He places Lasker's life
