BISMARCK HATES AMERICA.
Later information from Germany shows
that Minister Pendleton has q much graver
cause for endeavoring to come to a better
understanding with the German Govern
ment as to the construction given to the
Bancroft treaty than is apparent from the
brief dispatch which announced that nego-

marck again gives evidence of his increasing
hatred Of the United States, by interpreting
the Bancroft treaty in the seyerest manner
against all German Americans. Those who
know the most about the subject say that

edict which is now enforced against
the Poles in the northeastern
province of Germany would find
a parallel in the restrictive measures
which would be adopted against German
Americans in the mother country who have
never rendered military service there. It
is stated that the German-Americans of
this class in Germany have been notified
that hereafter their residence must be linn
tied to a few weeks or months and that if
they. in any particular, during even that
short period, become troublesome they
will be subject to receive notice at any time
to leave the country. 1t is claimed that
the attitude which the German Govern
ment has taken is in direct violation
of the spirit, if not the letter, Of the Ban
croft treaty. Undoubtedly it is this con-
struction which Minister Pendleton ia en-
