bert's Visit to Strassburg Abandoned.
BERLIN, May copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press. Sir Edward
Malet, Mr.. Kasson and Herr Holstein. as
committee On revision, completed to-day
draft of the protocle concerning the
Samoan question. 1t contains clauses re
lating to the mum ;ipal government Of
Apia; the coaling ports held by the powers;
the land commission and the autonomy Of
the Samoan government, the text of which
has already been cabled to Washington and
approved by Blaine. The remaining clauses
defining the tariff of the Samoa constitu-
ton of the native government and the lin
itation of the German claims for indemnity
from the natives, have been formed in con
sonance with instructions from Blaine,
who is in daily cable communication with
the commission. Nothing, therefore, ought,
in the opinion of the delegates, to prevent
the winding up of the conference Tuesday,
when the business is expected to be limited
to the exchange of the signatures to the
agreements.
The success of the commission and the
through with was partially due to the con
ciliatory attitude of Herbert Bismarck and
the impartial policy displayed by Sir Ed
ward Malet and largely to the American
commissioners having definite instructions
covering every point. The constant hard
work Of the subcommittee msrvelously
expedited matters, the plenary sitting of
the councils having little to do further
than to make reports.
Throughout no embarrassing develop
ments have retarded the progress of the
deliberations. When the conference began
it was announced that the foreign ONCE
was confident the session would terminate
the first week in June The discussions
have taken the course forecast by the Ger
man official world.
Following the example Of its chiefs, the
official world treats the American commits
sioners with high favor. If they responded
to all their invitations, they would find
their hardest work in recreation. Count
Herbert Bismarck gave conspicuous en-
phasis to his friendly footing with each of
the commissioners by his greeting at
TemPelhoefer Paran, when he left
the parade to converse with each
commissioner, riding between the carriages
Of KassOn and Bates and Phelps and eX-
changing cordial words with them.
King Humbert's projected visit to Strass-
burg was cOuntermanded after the en-
bassy received kilograms from Paris re
porting the disturbance i'll the public mind.
The arrangements at Strassburg included
review of the garrison and night attack
on the citadel. After Signor Crispi had
referred the matter to Bismarck, it was
announced that King Humbert would not
visit Strassburg, but would keep on the
Baden side of the Rhine on his hOmeward
journey.
The revision of the treaty agreed upon
!
the adhesion of Austria. Associated with
the treaty is military convention liking
definite plan for the mobilization of the
Italian army in the event of war.
Signor Crispi wanted to enter on the
question of the Papacy, but Prince Bis
marck obtained from Signor Crispi pledge
for a moderate international policy
toward the Vatican and has asked the
Austrian prime minister to join in a
united pressure ON the Pope to
make peace with the Quirinal. 1t is under
stood that Emperor Francis Joseph reluct-
antly allowed Count KalrOky to intervene
in the matter and that the Pope on reCeiY-
ing private assurances of the Austrian
Emperor's sympathy promptly rejected the
overtures. The result IS distinct breach
in the continuity of the alliance. The treaty
will probably remain unsigned until En-
peror Francis Joseph and Count Kalaoiy
pay their expected visit here.
1.-THE Italian generals, S. Rolunda and s.
rome, remain in Berlin TO settle the details
of the military convention with the war
office. Adverse rUmOrs go to the length OF
asserting that the difference with Austria
is leading to d rupture of the triple ALI
ance, Emperor Francis Joseph inciining to
regulate the Balkan question in coniunc-
ton with Russia. Official circles abso-
lutely deny that a rupture is within the
range Of probabilities. King Humbert, IN
d letter thanks the people OF Berlin for the
splendid reception accorded him, and SENDS
a gift of 10000 marks for charitable Oh
jects
The situation at the Westphalia collieries
continues critical According to Rhenish
papers, a proclamation of martial law Is
imminent Hitherto the miners have held
aloof from the Socialists and have resented
their approaches. Now there are symptoms
of impotence under the passive resistance
of the masters. Herr Weber, president OF
the Bochum strike committee was arrested
after making speech last night, in which
occurred the phrase: War against
capital; victory or death is proclaimed"
The miners in several pits in Bochum,
Gelinkirchen and Aschen will go on strike
again, having failed to get the assent Of the
owners at Dortmund to the concessions
demanded.
The other strikes grow. Six thousand
maSonS IN Berlin, VINO resumed work uhuer
the belief that their employers would grant
their demands, will strike again on Mon
day Nineteen thousand men employed IN
| the building trades are now out OF work.
The aged workmen's insurance bill passed
the reichstag yesterday by only 20 ma
| iority. Prince Bismarck wanted 20.
At o'clock this evening the Emperor
and King Humbert witnessed grand
military tattoo by nearly one thousand per
formers in front of the castle. Lelust
garten was illuminated with Bengal
lights. The display was witnessed by
enthusiastic crowds. The people gave
the King an ovation. The departure Of
King Humbert has been postponed till to-
morrow. The members Of the reichstag
gave a banquet at the Kaiserhof this even
ing, in honor of Premier Crispi. In the
toasts loyal references were made to the
alliance between Italy and Germany;
Crispi declared that Italy, though prepared
for war, only desired peace.
