HIS SCHEMES MAY MIsCARRY
Violent Opposition to Bismarck's
Colonial Policy.


BERLIN, Jan. 22.-The bundesrath's
speedy disposal of the East Africa bill
will enable the reichstag to pass the
measure through for the second reading
stage within week. The bill will be
placed in the hands of the deputies to-
morrow, and will be discussed on Friday
and Saturday. Prince Bismarck re-
the governments colonial policy. I'M
mediately after the conclusion of
the debate the chancellor will go to
see his daughter, Countess Rantzau,
who is ill at Munich. From there the
chancellor returns to FREDERICKSBURG.
The government majority on the East
Africa bill will not be as great as was
expected. The Germania, the organ OF
the Center party, declares that the men,
bers of that party are only pledged re-
garding the slave trade. and are free to
oppose the chancellOr'S colonial policy.
Several proposals in the bill are objec-
tiOnable to the CentriStS. At an inform
al, consultation between Dr.. WindthOrst
and the Centrist leaders to-day it was
agreed to givea general adhesion to the
measure, but to offer amendments to it
in committee. The Emin relief COM
mittee meet tomorrow to finally
decide upon plan for the expedition.
The route through the Vitu territory
proposed by Capt. Wissmann is regarded
as the best, as the expedition. by pro-
ceeding along the left bank of the Tana,
which forms the northern boundary of
the British sphere of influence, avoids
encroaching upon British territory. A
section of the committee. holding that
the expedition has English sympathy,
if not English cash to support it, advO-

was intended to despatch British relief

a local force at Zanzibar, the first duty
of which will be to occupy the main
outlets TO the coast, forming a land
blockade along the littoral. The colo
NAL society will give the adventures
farewell commers Friday. The sculptor
Otto Buchting has produced grand
bust of Lieut.. Wissmann. Ihe latter
before departing will present his COM
rades to Prince Bismarck and the en-
peror. The dark allusion of the Cologne
Gazette to certain documents in the
Getfcken case which the paper
said were not published be-
cause political and dynastic inter-
ests might suffer, refers to letters writ
ten by Morier while at Darmstadt, in
which Princess Alice and several Eng
llsh royalties are involved. According
to statements current in the official cir
Gle, if Prince Bismarck is forced by po
litical exigencies to publish these let
tiers. they will prove that Frederick and
his wife were indiscreet and divulged
the plans of Prussia, and that even be-
fore the opening of the campaign of
1870 DarmStadt was the focus OF in
trlgueS against the unifcatiOn of Ger

held afford ample justification of Bis

in his report to the present emperor,
but the strength of the public feeling
against further scandal has become so
extreme that the semi-official press has
received hints to cease discussing the
subject. The republication by the

tons regarding Prof. Getfcken. The
North German Gazatte says that Prof.
Geffcken'S examination before the
Hamburg amtsgericht showed that he
is simply suffering from nervous excite
ment, which is easily rem ediable
with rest and hygiene, and that
his mental powers are unimpaired.
Princess Bismarck is i'll with bronchial
affection. Herr Oehlschlaeger, presi-
dent of the kammergericht, will prob
ably be the successor of DR.. FTiedberg
as Prussian minister of justice. The
Metz Gazette outlines the programme of
the emperor's visit to the Kelchsald at
the end of April. The emperor first
goes to Sarrebruck, and thence to StraS-
burg, where he will spend two days.
Thence he will 60 to Metz, where he will
stay one day. While there he will in

foundation stone of which was laid by

The fact that the scrip is payable at the
