spy AFFAIRS TRIVIAL.
"The spy affairs with France are not worth
considering. No one begins war for trifes.
In such cases n sensible man gives way:
We have endeavored to maintain our old
relations with Russia, but we do not run
after anybody With regard TO Bulgaria,
we have remained perfectly consistent. Rus
Sa certainly has every reason to feel grateful
for the loyal attitude of Germany on the
Bulgarian question. If Russia calls upon
us to support in our communication with
the Sultan's government such of her claims
as are favorable with the decisions OF the
Berlin Congress, | will have no hesitation
in doing so, We place our reliance on the
strength Of our army. If we have no
cause to use it, all the better, but we must
make our arrangements with the idea that
we do use it. Threats do not frighten ms.
The threats of the press are houndlesS folly.
Such things cannot in the slightest degree

NEARLY TWO HOURS IN SPEAKING.
The speech occupied an hour and forty
minutes. After speaking for three quarters
of an hour the Chancellor became fatigued
from standing and sat down, continuing to
speak from his seat He afterward rose
again, and spoke with increasing animation
to the end, pausing occasionally to partake
of liquid refreshment. During the
first part of the speech the
Relchstag preserved deep silence that
was unbroken by the slightest
movement. When the speaker reminded
his hearers that in 1868 it was due to the
Emperor and the advisers of the coalition
that war with Russia was avoided applause
broke out, which was repeated with renewed
vigor when he declared the necessity that
Germany should be equal to any emergency
The words I'VE don't run after anybody,
were received with acclaims, and his appeal
to the furor Teutonicusn was highly
effective, the cheering being loud and long
a COMPLETE TRIUMPH

close of the sitting and walked home, ac-
companied by cheering crowd of people
