BERLIN Feb 16.--The Reichstag to-day agreed

marks. The votes were as follows: TO raise the
duty on rye-for, 19l; against, Isl. To raise the
duty on wheat-for, 229; against 113 The in

declared that it was perversion of historical
truth to say that duties on corn were condemned
by history. The workmen and poor classes
ought not to be excited by such worthless asser-
tlors. The suggestion that the bill was intended
to benefit the great land owners was wholly un-
founded. The small farmer, he said, recognizes
more and more that his interests and those of
the large landowners are Identical

THE CONGO CONFERENCE.
The Railroad a Costly Enterprise-The
Prohibition of Alcoholic Trade
Opposed.

BERLIN, Jan. s.
Dr. Busch. under foreign secretary OF
Germany, presided at the meeting of the
Congo conference at Berlin, Yesterday The
decision of the committee on the slavery Ques-
ton was unanimously adopted.
The conference will meet again on Friday.
1t was stated that the cost of q railway from
Stanley Pool TO Lower Congo would be
81, 250, 900 and that it would require carry
ing of 100 tons OF freight daily to pay per
cent on Its cost The scheme is regarded as
outside the scope of the conference.
Favorable reports in relation to the ne
gouatlon between France and the African In-
ternational Association continues to be
made.
The sixth conference protocol which has
been published, shows that DR.. Busch stated
that Germany was unable to support any
project that would be hurtful to the future
interests of commerce. The proposed prohi-
bltion of the traffic in alcohol would render
the decisions of the conference in regard TO
the freedom of commerce illusory, if certain
powers were allowed to exercise control over
the trade of others.
The proposal of Count Kapnist, the Rus
sian delegate, to establish meteorological
station on the Congo was approved.
In a debate on Mr.. Kasson's neutrality
scheme, Count de Launey, the Italian embas-
sador, proposed that the powers should re-
nounce the idea of extending any military ac-
tiGn to the Congo basin, and cause the inser-
ton of clause proposing resource to the
mediation of friendly powers before appeal
ing to arms. Mr. Kasson stated that the OBJ
ject proposed was practical, not a theoreti-
cal one, and was intended to assure the Sc
curity of commercial enterprise.
Henry Nj. Stanley has arrived at Cologne
on his way to Berlin. Numerous fetes and
receptions were given in his honor at the as
semblage of the merchants of the Rhine
province and Westphala. Herr Jureliner
and Dr. Fabr warmly spoke of the services
of Stanley and Livingston for science. Mr..
Stanley thanked the merchants for their kind
reception, and madc long address on Afri-
can matters. A banquet followed, which
was participated in by the civic, provincial
and military officials. Six hundred guests
were present. Mr.. Stanley made humer-
Gus speech, in which he spoke of his African
experiences and narrated a number of African
fables, illustrative of the richness of the land
watered by the Congo. No political illusions
were made in his address, and he was heartily
cheered.
King Leopold, of Belgium. is using his in
fnence with Emperor William to recommend

for the position of viceroy of the Congo State
which shall be under Belgian regancy until
