A Talk With Bismarck.

From the St James, Gazette
Count Bella Szechenyi recently had
an interview with Prince Bismarck con-
tanning certain disclosures of sufl-
GENTLY remarkable character:
Referring to the international situa-
ton at the present moment, Prince
Bismarck, if his interview is to be be-
lieved, took credit to himself for all the
nav departures recently witnessed in
the policy Of the chief Cabinets OF
Europe. Everything, he gave his Hun
garian visitor 10 understand, was really
due TO his instigation, to his diplomacy.
or else to his intrigue. "As for France, p"
said the Chancellor, Il have contrived
TO get her well occupied out in China.
Then, as regards the supremacy OF
Britain in maritime and colonial affairs,
I am engaged in the task of counter
balancing or neutralizing it," Turning
TO Germanv's allies, Prince Bismarck
proceedeI: "If Russia desires To take
Armenia or Afghanistan, she will not
have to languIsh for them long in VAIN.
And then. with reference 70 Austria and
Hungary, the policy Of the dual empire,
he said, is Of course ultimately to an
mex Syria" And the chancellor was
good enough TO hint that he would take
care that any little wish Austria might
cherish in that direction might be graf
flied. Count Szochneyi, however told
hi. German host that Hungary was op
posed to any active colonial policy

SIS. 600, 900. Tie limits OF Florida at
the tinae OF purchase were the same as
now. Texas was annexed without
the formalities of a treaty in 1S45. 1t
added 376, 1873 square miles to the
Union. New Mexico and Upper Cali
fornia were acquired as a part of the
results of the Mexican war, although
Mexico was appeased by the sum of
SIS, 900, coo, and Texas was afterward
paid $40, 900, 600 for that part of New
Mexico east of the Rio Grade. The
area of the republic was thus increased
by 543, 783 square miles. By the
Gadsden treaty Of 1853 the United
States acquired from Mexico for the
sum of so, 000, 900 the possession of
the Moquila Valley, comprising the
southern part Of Arizona, an area of
As, 5s5 square miles. By treaty of
March 80. 1867, Russia ceded the

ony having besA established. TRe
Vienna correspondent Of The London
Economist writes that ''the White
book on the colonial question which
was presented to the German Reich
stag last session contained a consular
report entitled German Interests IN
the South Pacific, IN which the politl-
cal and economical condition of the
Gilbert, Marshal, CArolines, Elllce
and Tokelau islands vas examined.
The report explained that the Ger
man commerce in those islands, with
the exception OF Gilbert's Island, is
much more considerable than that of
all other countries put together. The
trade consists chiefly IN bartering
brandy, rifles, cotton goods and tools
for copra Cocoa. II is estimated
that the total production of the latter
in the Carolines is 1900 tons, in
which German trade is interested to
the extent OF /, 900 tons; that OF the
Marshal Island at 1,400 tons, of which
/, 100 is taken by German hrm7 in the
production of copra ia the Gilbert Is
lands amounts to only 400 tons out of
600 tons. In that Island a Chinese
firm from Sidney has the most exten>
sive business" Thus il appears that
Spain has never taken care of or exer-
any authority over them. Her
claims are founded merely on the dis
covery Of these Islands by Spanish
ships several centuries ago.

A Newspaper in the Classics.

A st. Louis newspaper is exercised
over a copy of The Constantinopolis,
a leading journal of the Turkish
capital, printed wholly in Greek. The
characters are identical with those Of
the ancient Greek, and the language
is strikingly similar. A st. Louis
citizen being shown the Journalistic
novelty, held it upside down, adjust
ed his glasses, contracted his brows,
and gazing long and earnestly said,
with a reminiscent sigh: well, |
used to know Latin well when | was
young, but | am afraid / have forgot
ten most of it now
Latin o pshaw!" chimed in his
neighbor, taking the paper. Cant
you read Dutch2"
Zach, dot vas not Cherman," said a
Teutonic member of the group, after
a careful scrutiny. "Mein poy, he
vos know how to read dot Hebrew.
Another citizen took the sheet in
his hands, smiled in a way that sho "
ed he was sorry for people who tried
to talk about what thew didn't know,
and blandly said: When did you
reporters get to printing papers IN
shorthand"
