prohibition and dissolution of public meet
ings, which he said amounted to suppression
of the right of electors to combine The So
ciallsts, Singer and Kroeoer, confirmed the
statements OF Herr Richter, declaring that
government agents everywhere interfered to
wipe out the socialists
Herr Marguardson, national, admitted the
existence Of the grievances denounced, and
urged that even in the intervals Of the gov
ernment inquiry would be useful. He there
fore proposed that the motion oe RENTED to
the commission on the verifcation of cleo
tons. The house assented by large ma
jority.
A socialist electoral manifesto predicts
struggle in the coming election of unusual
vehemence. 1t reminds the electors that the
reichstag will be elected mot for three years,
as heretofore, but for five, and says
that socialist candidate should be
nominated in every district where there are
any adherents of the party, even II the
chance of election be remote, in order to
show the number of socialists in the empire.
The socialists, the manifesto further saws,
are hopeful that the electorate is coming to
its senses, and will not again be scared by
the war phantoms evoked in 1887 The man
ifesto heralds greater activity in socialist
agitation, while the reichstag proceedings
discourage police interference. This was
seen in the marvellous liberation accorded
to the socialist workmen's demonstration
last evening, when large number of work
men, after meeting, formed a procession
and paraded the streets, singing the MAR
sellaise.n
Bismarck will appear in the reichstag on
the occasion OF the debate on colonial affairs
A hitch has occurred with England over the
last Africa blockade agreement. Lord Sails
bury's statement in the house of lords that
Germany didn't intend to combine her land
and sea operations, is in direct variance with
the views Of the Berlin government. If Bis
marcks plans are effectual, military action
will accompany blockade of the stations
along the coast, and for some distance
in the interior. The government holds
that blockade alone would be futile. The

means of suppressing the slave trade, besides
enabling the government to terminate the
blockade.
Prince Henry of Reuss left yesterday and
returned to his post at Vienna. He has seen
Prince Bismarck, besides having a confer
ence with the emperor. The newspaper row
regarding the episode between Prince Henry
of R ,uss and Count Won Taafe has not af-
fected the relations between the govern
ments. Prince Henry of Reuss, before leav-
ing Berlin, denied that his relations with
Count Won Taafe had decreased in cordially.
1t is certain that Prince Bismarck would not
allow Prince Henry to remain at Vienna II
his presence tended to weaken thin alliance
between the governments. Nor would
Count Kanoky suffer the existence of
an Austrian premier who was conducting
an intrigue against his foreign policy. Count
Won Taafe has the intimate personal conf
dence OF Emperor Francis Joseph, of whom
he was an early playmate, and close friend
until Francis Joseph was raised to the
throne. He is supporter of Count Kali
noky's alliance policy, though he recently
admitted czech representation in the cabi-
net owing to international necessities.
The newspaper war has disclosed an in
tense Austro- Hungarian jealousy of German
supremacy. The Vossiche Zeitung having
remarked that Austria Hungary must be
true to the alliance or she would cease to ex-
list, the Pesther Lloyd responded that the
Austrian empire was not German depend
ency and might renounce the alliance,
becoming the center of Franco
Austro- Russian coalition against Ger
many The controversy is de-
plored in ofIicial circles here, but it
delights the French press and enchants the
Russian press into dreaming of an immediate
rupture of the alliance.
A Warsaw paper yesterday predicted that
a combined Russo Austrian force would yet
invade Germany, break up the empire, and
place Prussia upon her old level. Happily
the discussion is abating. A brief semi
official article in the Frendenblatt which
has hitherto been silent on the subject, says
that the German government is an entire
stranger to the attacks made on Austrian
personages in the German press, and never
abandoned it's attitude of absolute neutrality
toward the internal affairs of other govern
ments.
Count Szechcnyi, Austrian ambassador to
Germany, who has been enjoying vacation
In Hungary, mas had his leave Of absence
curtDned in consequence Of the newspaper
dissensions. He was received in audience
by Emperor Francis Joseph yesterday, when
he was instructed to return to his post. The
origin Of the dispute is traceable to an article
in the Vienna Schwarzgeld.
