The appearance Of documents does
not add much to what is already know
OF their contents. The statement thki
the fab.icstors h.ve not been discovered
is untrue. The Car knows whence the
forgeries proceeded, but refuses to punish
the perpetrators.
TALK OF 4 REGENCY.
TIE reports concerning the Crown
Princes condition present the best as.
pect possible. Since Prince Bismarck
renewed the pressure for q regency, Nc
adverse reports regarding the Prince
have been permitted. The opinion
OF the Berlin experts that the disease
IS cancer has not altered, and DR.. Mac
ken8le's latest diagnosis isiIed to dIsp.
the belief that an untimate cure is impos.
siole. Prince Bismsrck's appeal ~ the
Crown Prince Frederick William TO con-
sent to the establishment of 8 regency,
although repulsed, will now DE renewed
In view ef the danger Of en outbreak OF
| var. The best men in political and mill
tary circles feel the necessity of there
being, in the event Of war, en- active,
working regent, competent to perform
all political duties and act in harmony
with the army. 1t is impossible for the
Gro IN Princess to act IS Regent. Official
circles n discussing the question of re-
gency put the Princess entirely out OF
consideration. Prince William ia now in
prime health. His old ailments have dis
appeared, and he Is showing himself an
energetic worker for his coming trust OF
Germany. Only small court party will
continue TO oppose ; regency If the
Crown Prince remains an invalid.
A thorough search Of the barracks OF
the gsrrisous at Msirz, BresIau, Spandan
and Frankfort, has resulted in hu6ing
enormous quantities of socislistiC
pamphlets. 4 number Of soldiers have
5een imprisoned On suspicion OF having
been implicated in the circulation OF the
pamphlets.
RUMORS AND DENIALS.
[Oopywrited by Associated Press
BERLIN, Dec. 81 The year closed
without the relations between Russia aud
allied powers showing any symptoms OF
authorization. The situation has become
one OF the greatest perpjexity
which nothing less than some authorita-
i've deliverance from the Gar or Kaiser
eau ciear up. II the New Years
Imperial reception passes over un
marked by explicit details giving
assurances of peace, i. will be held
as certain diplomacy has failed to check
progress toward an open rupture. The
Cologne Gazette has vague announce
ment that mutual explanations will
soon be made which promise
to avert ell danger Of war
bus reliable sdvices from st. Petersburg
deny there is slightest change in
tension OF sffairs. General Won
Schweiniiz, German ambassador TO
Russis, has had frequent inter-
viewa with FL. DeGaers, enc result OF
which has been the arrangement for pub
iicalion Of the forged documents, but
Judging from the tenor Of the article puo-
iished in the North German Gazette, the
Interviews have left the situation unim-
proved.
Something is hoped te result from the
prospective mission OF Herr Won Kelley,
Austrian minister of finance to s..
Petersburg. His visit appears to be
dependent upon the Cars reception OF
the proposals transmitted through Prince
Lobenof, Russian Ambassador to
Austria, for the revision OF the
treaty OF Berlin. The Russian press
concur IN declaring that If these
proposals imply tie definite absorption Of
Bosnia intO Austria, Russia will never
consent. No decisive diplomatic issue Is
expected before the middle Of Jsnusry.
After that events will develop with cleo
trlcal capacity.
The concentration Of Russian troops in
Poland appears to be suspended. The
whole country lies deep in snow and Ice.
The roads ere blocked, agd railway traffic
Is retarded. Galicia ia in similar
condition. II an order were given
Tomorrow for the mobilization OF the
Austrian troops it would be Impossible to
execute it except within email radius
Of Vienns, bat 8 few weeks
hence, when the snow storm
has abated, End the surface OF
the country is thswed, military opera
tons could be easily effected. Il Is the
opinion of military authorities that
Austria spd Germsny will sgree upon
the winter as the best time for s
campaign in Poland, and that II Eg.r must
b Is should either commence in Febru-
afy OF be deferred until June. While the
OF troops IN Poland
are ceasing forces are being
concentrated In BessAIabia, and this
tee. leeos TO the belief that Russia
either dietrusts L )unanis's neutrality or
has other plans than campaign In Ga
Iicia. The forces now msssed along the
Bender aud Odessa lines are estimated ct
So 600 men. Stations are crowded with
troops aud artillery transports.
Several corps IN Southern Russia are
already fully mobihz3d and stationed |
along Pesth and Dniester rivers and the |
railways convergiDg to Roumania. The |

Gregor DeWoaD, recently Russian
Consul at Pesth, publishes IN article IN

Ior, predicting that Hungary will become

Increases the eagegness for Anal arbi-
