Howl on the German Bourses.

Howl on the German Courses.
BERLIN, Nov. 17.-The new Russian
loan is fast raising discomfort among
the German bourses. The reports of an
alliance between France, Russia and
Spain, and rumors of Russian troops on
the frontier of Germany, are phe-
nOmena which are associated with the
Russian loan. Another tripartite al
lance againet the central European all
lance Of Germany, Austria and Italy,
has not yet been achieved, but it is
aimed at in Minister G0blet's speech
before the chamber of depu ties in de-
Tense of the vatican. The speech was
meant to allure Catholic Spain toward a
sympathetic neutrality, if not actual
alliance with France. The Berlin for
eign Office is quite live at the growing
understanding between France and
Spain, but an eventual alliance of the
two countries is deemed very improba-

matter, can pronounce upon it.. The
reasons published at st. Petersburg for
the redistribution of the army feebly
try to conceal the truth, but in Berlin
they are estimated at their true value.
The fact that Russia is pushing
fresh divisions toward the frontier
of Germany demands keen attention,
although men of business need not dis
cover in these movements any imme-

The Cologne Gazette and other papers

Nevertheless the money market does

The bourse in Paris does not consider

LONDON, Nov. 17.-All indications

Female Thieves Make Free With

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-During the
last week thoroughly organized band
of thieves has been stealing timber and
railroad ties from the Central railroad,
of New Jersey, where the company is
building new bridges over the Passaic
at Newark. Watchmen are placed at
night to guard the tools of the men en-
ployed by the bridge building firm of

are replacing the wooden bridges at
that point with iron structures. rhe

by tie sound of moving timber. Up
the track. eastward of the bridges,
they found gang of about
100 women, few men and a
large crowd of boys. They were rolling
ties that had been torn from the track
down the embankment and carting
them away. The watchmen endeavored
to drive off the thieves, bnt were driven
back by voley of stones. Every night
since then the gang has been strength
ened, and last night enlarged its opera
lions by using teams of horses to draw
inches on the end, and from twelve to
sixteen feet long. The work went on
all night, the thieves beating back the
guards with stones every time they ap-
approached. AS the guards were not
armed with revoIverS, they had to re-
treat. The thives take the wood to
neighboring houses, where it is cut up
in short lengths and carted out of
sight. The Central Railroad of New
Jersey has sent detectives to the field of
operations to get the names of the
leaders of the gang and proofs that will
lead to their conviction. Thus far the
depredations amount to about $1,000.

Lord Randolph Churchill's Opin-
ion of the SackviHe Episode.
LONDON. Nov. 17.-Lord Randolph
day expressed the hope that the post of
minister at Washington would soon be
filled. He said there was no doubt that
Lord Sackville had been primarily in
discreet and had made an ineXcuSabie
blunder. No fault could be found with
the action of the United States COVER n
ment towards the minister. The Amer.
lean people were essentially just and
proud in their relations with other.
countries. He deprecated the insulting
and menacing articles which had APP
peared in the English press since LORD
Sackville's dismissal, and said thes
EngliShmen ought to inform the Amer
leans that they cherish no Ill feelings
toward them. [CheerS.
Lord Randolph attached the greatest
Importance to the maintenance by
England of an imperturbable and
friendly attitude towards the United
States. He regarded the attitude taken
by Cleveland after the rejection of the
fisheries treaty by the senate as an I'M
fortunate one. The utmost allowance
ought to be made for the American po-
sition on the Sackville affair in view of
the time at which it occurred. Mr..
Cleveland's action had been rather
sharp. but itdid not justify the menaces,
sneers and sulkS in which the newSpa-
pers of England had INDUCED. A war
between England and America, he
declared, would be more atrocious and
dangerous than any war since God ere
ated the earth. He trusted that the
governments policy towards the new
Washington administration would be
conceived with a view to making the
American pc oDle our best allies ON all
questions and to producing a durable
friendship between the English-speak--
ing races, thus guaranteeing to human
ity in turn the blessings of liberty and
peace. Lord Randolph approved of the
government taking measures to repress
crime in Ireland. and strongly advocated
the restriction of the traffic in lntoxicat-
ing drink g.

WHAT WILL HE SAY?
Emperor Williams Speech at the
Opening of the Reichstag
Awaited With Anxiety.

BERLIN, Nov. 17.-The emperor'S
speech at the opening of the reichstag
Thursday is awaited with az exciting in
terest arising from the revival of the war
alarm. The official opinion is that, al
though no unusual pomp will attend the
ceremony, the emperor will open the
+ eichstag IN person. If the tone of the
semi-official press were the guide, the
S peech would plainly remind the Ger
mans that they should be on the alert,
men aced as they are by powerful mill
tary neighbors on both sides. But the
seml-official press do not this time
represent the official opinion.
There certainly is some restless
ness in high circles, and uneasiness in
financial quarters, but it will surprise
them both if the emperor's speech does
not tend to reassure them in regard to
his pacific intentions. 1t will allude to
the results of the imperial policy in &C.
menting the tripartite alliance, and will
probably be suffused throughout with a
spirit of optimism, which ought to ex-
tinguish the new war scare. 1t will
otherwise be rather barren of interest.
Allusions will be made to the army and
navy administration, colonial develop
ment and the Bismarck Salisbury agree
ment in regard to the suppression of
the slave trade. Some projects of i'm
portant internal bearing will fill up
the measure of imperial references.
The reichstag will first appoint presi-
dent to succeed Baron Wedell-Piesdorf.
who will be made minister of the royal
household on the advent of the en-
peror. Herr Won Leyetzow, who filled
the Office from 1881 to 1884, will proba-
bly, be his successor. Herr Won Levet-
zoW is now lands director Of the prov
ince of Brandenburg. He is Conserva-
tive, and left fine record for capacity
as president during the years he filed
the Office. The prospects are that the
session will be pacific and uneventful.
Brisk party encounters are likely to
occur oyer the colonial policy, the Pro-
gressists and Socialists combining in
hostile criticism. The Center will join
with the Nationalist and Conservatives
in support of the government. especially
in relation to the slave trade blockade.
