gle of unusual vehemence. 1t reminds
electors that the reichstag will be
elected, not for three years, as hereto
fore, but for five, and says that, by
virtue of the resolutions of the Saint
Gall congress. socialist candidates
should be nominated in every district
where there are any adherentS of the
party, even if the chance Of election be
remote, i'm order to show the number of
socialists in the empire. The social
lists. the manifesto further says, are
hopeful that the electorate is coming to
it's senses. and will not again be scared
by the war phantoms evoked in 1887.
The issuance of the manifesto appears
to be rather premature. The term OF
the reichstag expires on Feb. %. 1880.

may enwrap Europe. In the meantime
in socialist agitation, while the reich
stag's proceedings discourage police in
reference. This was seen in the mar
velouS liberation accorded to the social
lst workmen'S demonstration last even
ing. at their meeting Her Won Singer
made strong speech, in which he de-
nounced the invalid workmen'S inSur-
ance bill. The police dissolved the
meeting, but they did not Interfere
with the street demonstration. A large
number of workmen formed in process
sion and paraded the streets singing the
"Marseillaise." They crossed the Unter
der Linden and proceeded to residence
of Herr Won Singer where they dis
perSed. The police greedily watched the
procession, but did not make single
arrest. Prince Bismarck will appear in
the reichStag on the occasion of the de-
bate on colonial affairs. A hitch has
occurred with England over the East
Africa blockade agreement. Lord Sal
isbury's statement in the House of
Lords, that Germany did not intend to
combine her land and sea operations, is
in direct variance with the views of the
Berlin government. If Bismarck's
plans are effected, military action will
accompany blockade and the stations
along the coast and for some distance in
the interior. The government holds
that blockade alone would be futile.
The permanent possession OF the coast
is the only means OF
SURPRISING THE SLAVE TRADE,
besides enabling the government to ter
inmate the blockade. Prince Henry of
Reuss left yesterday and returned to
his post at Vienna. He has seen Prince
Bismarck. besides having a conference
with the emperor. The newspaper row
regarding the episode between Prince
Henry Of Reuss and Count Won Taffe
has not affected the relations between
the governments. Prince Henry OF
ReuSs, before leaving Berlin, denied
that his relations with Count Won Taffe
had decreased in cordially. 1t is GER

allow Prince Henry to remain at
Vienna it his presence tended to
weaken the alliance between the gov
eminent. or would Count Kalnoky
suffer the existence of an Austrian
premier who was conducting an in
trigue against his foreign policy. Count
Won Taffe has the intimate personal
confidence of Emperor Francis Joseph,
of whom he was an early playmate and
a close friend until Francis Joseph was
raised to the throne. He is a supporter
of Count KilnokY's alliance policy,
though he recently admitted czech
representation in the cabinet, owing to
internal necessities. The newspaper
war has disclosed all intense AuStro-
Hungarian
JEALOUSY OF GERMAN SUPREMACY.
The Vossische Zeitung having re-
marked that Austria-Hungary must be
true to the alliance or she would cease
to exist, the Pesther Lloyd responded
that the Austrian empire was not
German dependency and might re-
nounce the alliance, becoming the CEN
ter of Franco-Au stro-Russian coalition
against Germany. The controversy is
deplored in official circles here, but it
delights the French press and enchantS
the Russian press into dreaming of all
immediate rupture of the alliance. The
Warsaw DneWrick yesterday predicted
that a combined RusSo-AuStrian force
would yet invade Germany, break up
the empire, and place Prussia on her
old level. Happily the discussion is
abating. A brief Semi-official article in
the Fremdenblatt, which has hitherto
been silent on the subject, says that the
Government is an entire stranger to the
attacks made On Austrian personages in
the German press. and never abandonS
it's attitude of absolute neutrality
toward the internal affairs of other gov
ernments. Count SZechenyi, Austrian
ambassador to Germany, who had been
enjoying a vacation in Hungary, has
had his leave of absence curtailed in
consequence of the newspaper dissen-
sionS. 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 trace
able to an article in the Vienna paper
Schwarigeld.
