committee One Of these, probably, will be the export
freight question, which that committee has been con-
sdering for two days without result At present the
bulk Of export freight Is moving through Phlladelpha
and Baltimore owing to the extreme low rates OF tho
ocean lines from those ports. The New-fork ana
Boston routes claim that the diversion OF business Is
chiefly caused by irregular relations maintained be-
tween the Pennsylvania and It's ocean lines. The pub
lcty OF through European rates, inland and ocean,
required by the Interstate Commerce Commission has

HIGH LICEYSE ~ MINNESOTA.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 5.-A local paper publishes
interviews with about 200 prominent Republicans OF
Minnesota regarding the workings Of high license In
this state where the law has been in effect for about
eight months 1t is agreed that the law has worked
wo In all the cities that the effect has been good,
not only in the sense of increased revenue. but in
essenlng the number OF Saloons and bettering the
character of those that in operation under the
law. With single exception. the replies show that
tho sentiment is favorable to the retention OF the law
and in nearly every case the statement IS made that
tho people would not consent to a return to the old
order Of things In Carver County alone where there
are great many Germans, the law has been dlsre-
garded, but the sentiment there has always been
strongly opposed to any restriction of the traffic.

BERLIN, April 5.-The Cologne Gazette' Of to-
day says: "Great excitement prevails in diplo-
matte circles in Berlin over the possibility Of the
speedy resignation of Prince Bismarck because of
the proposed marriage of Prince Alexander Of
Battenberg and Princess Victoria Of Prussia.
Prince Alexander wishes to accompany Queen
Victoria to Berlin as suitor for the hand of the
Princess. The bearing of the reports is serious
that they cannot be passed over.
Until the Bulgarian question shall have been
settled by all the Powers, the projected mar
riage can only be judged from political point
Of view, and on that account the marriage is an
impossibility. The German policy has its root
in the endeavor to avoid anything that would be
likely to arouse the slightest inducement for sus-
picion, and in the Bulgarian question Germany
must. in accordance with the declaration made
by Prince Bismarck in the Reichstag, remain a
wholly uninterested party AS long Bulgaria is in
question, This course Of action affords the only
means of retaining the full confidence of the oppos
ing Governments. That confidence would be dis
turbed in an instant if the Cars most detested
antagonist were to become the son-in-law of En-
peror Frederick.
AS German patriot Prince Alexander cannot
take step which can only be the reverse of bene-
fetal to the Fatherland. The intelligence of the
Prince is so highly esteemed that 1t is impossible
for him to attempt a suit which would assuredly
cost the German people their Chancellor
Public opinion in Berlin is emphatically IN
favor of Prince Bismarck.
London, April 5.-A dispatch received here to-
night confirms the report that Prince Bismarck Is
about to retire from the German Chancellorship.
Up TO a late hour Reuters Telegram Agency had
received no confirmation of the report But little
Importance, however, is attached to semi-oficial
denals.
1t is rumored here that if Prince Bismarck
resigns Count Herbert Bismarck will also resign.
