pondent of the Telegraph says one subject
which will occupy the attention of Kalnoky
and Bismarck at their approaching confer
ence, will be the discussion Of the German
colonial policy. Bismarck opposes the con-
SANITY increasing tide of emigration to
America. American institutes are not in
harmony with those of Germany, and emf
grafton to that country adds nothing to Ger

the tradition of monarchy. Bismarck
hopes to open new fields for colonial enter
prise and so prevent the ultra independent
Anglo-Saxon element from absorbing the
German element
