yesterday gave dinner to the MEM
bers of the lower house of the 'Prussian'
diet, and during the serving of coffee
complained of the heavy labors created
for him by what he termed the $50
called colonies" He aScrlbed the blame
for no small portion of his difficulties to
the action of colonial officials, who. he
said, frequently acted without a red
uisite knowledge of circumstances,
and especially did not know how to
treat natives. 1t was impossible. the
chancellor said. to allow trivial disputes

Germany's relations with the great
friendly powers, as the slightest dis
turbance of the harmony prevailing
between the imperial government and
foreign states might have most preju-
diciaI effects upon German commercial
and business relations. Bismarck is
said to have been greatly annoyed at
the conSul's proposals to annex Samoa,
and the Fossische Zeitung's question as
to what would be thought OF consul
who telegraphed a proposal to annex
Zurich or Luxembourg is believed to be
Identical with the opinion of the chan
cellor. In explanation of the reported
ordering of German squadron to
Samoa. the National Zeitung observes
that the impending punishment OF
Mataafa will have no effect upon Ger
many's relations with England and
America, the right of Germany to inter
yene in the matter not being contested
in any quarter. The report must, how
ever. be received. with reserve. The
squadron is provisioned for Port Said,
in order, probably. to be in readiness to
proceed to East Africa or to await the
development of affairs: 1t may at least
be assumed that the squadron will only

can government proving eXacting or
unreasonable. Prince Bismarck's de-.
sire to - - -
AVOID COLONIAL TROUBLES
is due in a large measure to the uncer-
tainty of European politics, especially
those of France. The Tirard cabinet is
regarded as simply short respite be-
fore the inevitable struggle. The North
German Gazette and other leading Ger
man papers predict its overthrow within
a few weeks, and the apprehension eX-
listing in the financial world is revealed
in the expression by the National lei
tung OF the hope that the Paris exhibit
ton will be the first consideration, so
that no new crisis will occur until after
the general elections. Prince Bis
marck's opinion that the crisis will re-
suit in the accession to. power Of Gen.
Boulanger is we'll known, and there are
few persons who do not regard his
triumph as near probability. The

the emperor and empress will be among
the guests. All the ministers and chiefs
of the military and civil cabinets have
been invited to be present at the din
ner to be given by Prince Bismarck on
Monday to the emperor. The event is
much commented on, as intended to dis
pei the idea that divergence of views
exists between the emperor and the
chancellor. The rumor that Prince
Bismarck has advised the emperor to
replace Count Won WalderSee as aide
de-camp by another officer is declared
to be entirely without foundation. The

painful ear-aches. The recent changes
in the weather have given him much
trouble. He is obliged sometimes

in order to obtain few hours of sleep.
This makes no difference, however, in
his activity. He will honor by his pres

dinner as minister of war. OH the 9th

Stachan will succeed Count Won Schel-

reliet expedition will consist of 100
Somali soldiers and 500 carriers. who are
now being engaged at Zanzibar and
along the coast. The force will be we'll
organized and led by eight Germans.
Several young German officers in search
of African adventure have obtained the
emperor's permission to accompany the
expedition. The armOry of the expedi-
ton includes Winchester muZZle load
ing, Remington and Snider rifles for the
natives and special Lepante rifles for
the sporting members. The success of
the venture is much doubted here.
Even if the expedition penetrateS far
beyond the coast, it is not expected that
it will ever reach Wadelai. The police
find the utmost difficulty in preventing
the entry into the country of socialist
literature printed abroad. During the
past week numerous dolnicilary visits
have been made to the chiefs Of the So
cialist party, and the searchers have
discovered quantities Of pamphlets. ETC.,
ready for distributions Intended to infiu-
ence voters in favor of
THE SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA.
The rumors of trouble on the Afghan
bourSe, but the firm attitude of the
French financiers redeemed the stu
alton. The efforts of the Italian banks
to obtain the new Italian loan. though
very persistent, failed of effect, and
French intriguers are accused of addi-
tionally pushing up Russian securities
and trying to Illustrate every operation
which Italy attempts with German and
English firms. An anti-slavery society
is, being formed in Alsace-Lorraine
under the presidency of Deputy Guer-
der. The first meeting, it is expected,
will be held in April. The Prince
of Waldeck-Pyrmont has returned
to Cassel with his daughter Eliza
beth, after a winters sojourn at
Hamburg. His health is much i'm
proved. The king of Wurtemburg is
suffering from severe catarrhal at
tack. Herr Won Bulow will sail for
tour of the United States about the
middle of March. He will give sixteen
piano recitals and conduct some orches-
trail concerts. Miss Vau Zandt will ap-
pear at the Berlin opera house in March
In Delibers' ''Lakme'' in Italian. The
Neue Freie PresSe of Vienna denies
that Prince Alexander of Battenberg is
about to contract morganatic marriage.
A committee of the lower house of the
Austrian parliament has heard evidence
of twenty-five labor experts of all ma
tionalitieS on the proposal to establish
chambers Of labor. The majority
agreed that the proposed chamber
would adequately represent the bust
ness and political interests of workmen,
