MUSIC OF THE WAR DRUM
GERMAN THREATS OF PLAIN TALK
TO RUSSIA.

=
BERLIN, Sept. THE tach of the
opening of the final session of the Reich
stag is causing all parties to ask what form
Of policy the government is likely to take
on which to go before the country. The
semi-official press affords no special indica-
tion. Prince Bismarck is obviously await
ing the results Of the French elections. IL
the present government is 50 materially
weakened as to make Boulangism an i'm
portant factor Of French policy, we are
cetain to hear the war drum beat as in 1887,
andthere will be renewed appeals TO the pa
triots to support further military burdens,
even if President Carnot be secure in his
power.
SOCIAL REFORMS.
Prince Bismarck appears to be preparing
TO give prominence to social reform Bills
dealing with the strikes and meas ures aim
ing to protect the poor classes against undue
interest on loans and legislation gene rally
in favor of the working classes will play
leading part in the coming session of both
the Reichstag and Landtag as preliminary
TO forming plank in the election platform.
Meanwhile military expansion involves the
demand in the Roichstag for credit Of
60,000OO0 marks, including the expendi-
lures involved in the formation of two new
army corps by dividing the corps now
designated as the fifteenth.
REORGANIZATION AND ENLARGEMENT.
The measure is to reOrganize rather than to
increase the army, still it implies a substan-
stial numerical addition to the cavalry and
artillery. The reichstag will not begrudge
credit The nation will have reason to re-
siOlce if no more is demanded. Pending
Prince Bismarck's declarations party nego-
tiations are IN suspension.
Many rumors are ia circulation to the
effect that financial projects caused the
resignation Of Herr Won Scholz, the Prus-
sian finance minister The North German
Gozette tonight describes these rumors as
idle inventions aad SAYS that Herr von
Scholz has not resigned but has been given
a long leave Of absence on account of an
affection Of his eyes.
TO MENACE RUSSIA.
The new Sixteenth army corps is in
tended to be stationed on the Russian
frontier. The temper of the foreign office
toward Russia is growing worse. The
rumor of Ga0 visit of the cza evitch TO
Paris is not credited, unless he goes in the
strictest incogniro. The czar's treatment
of Emperor William continues to embitter
the relations between the two countries
l. Ne S6lul-DllClGl press ID D6IlulJLtQ OF III
structsd TO speak with notable frankness
and severity. The Cologne Gazette de-
clares that the first line Of danger IS not
Paris, but st. Petersburg.
NO MORE MINCING OF WORDS.
The Hamburg Correspondence in an un-
doub- -edly Inspired article, says: Germany
must accept the fact of the permanent hos
tility Of the czar The persistence in Rus
sian policy is more dangerous to the peace
of Europe than French chauanisnl. Ths
chancellor, being convinced of the czar's
lasting enmity, will cease his delicate and
cautious treatment OF Russia and hence
forth will frankly treat st. Pc er,burg as
he treats Paris.n The paper approves an
entente with England and disappr0ves the
idea of giving free scope TO Russia outside
Of Europe
THE TRIP TO ITALY.
The emperor and empress, acc ording to
to-nights Post, viii depart for Italy to
meet King Humbert early ia October. The
Empress Augusta ls taking the waters at
Schangenbad. She is regular attendant
at tne Protestant church there. The rumogs
that she has become Catholic are basslsss.
She receives occasional visits from Catholic
clericals seeking assistance for the poor, but
she has never shown any leaning toward
the Roman church.
TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE.
The action Of the Catholic congress at
Bochum ia abstaining from declaration in
favor of the restoration OF the temporal
power Of the pope is received with unfavor-
able comments by a section Of the Catholic
press, chiefly outside OF Germ ny. Among
toe Centrists DR.. Windthorst's speech in
favor Of the maintenance of the triple
alliance, although rendering the restoration
of Rome to the pope impossible, is accepted
as the only possible policy. TDe pope sent
a letter to the Catholic congress at Munster
thanking the German Catholics for their
fidelity TO the church and their struggles to
sustain religion.
Count voa Hatzfedt, the German ambas-
sador at London, having been sumnoIed
by Prince Bis narck, reached Friederich-
ruhe to-day.
After Witnessing the army name uvers in
Saxony the emperor will 20 on Tuesday to
Minden to attend the maneuvers of the
We stphalia troops and will proceed thence
to Hanover The maneuveIs will be on
grand scale.
VISIT OF THE CZAREVITCH.
The czarevitch will be the guest of EN-
peror William from Sept Is TO Sept ~. IL
the czar's hsir is sent to Paris directly after
parting with Emperor William, 1t will III
crease the to ision TO the breaking point.
Court advices are to the effect that the
czarevitch will return to Frlsdourg and
then proceed to st. Petersburg.
HANovER's PREPARATIONS.
The municipal council Of Hanover has
voted 81, 900 marks for the purpose OF deco
rating and Illuminating the city durlag tho
emperor's visit. Leading citizens have
been directed to make a display Of bunting,
but is not thought That the order will be
obsyed as in this quarter enthusiasm does
not run high for the Hohenzollerns. The
emperor has timed his return TO Berlin for
Sept. 30. His interview with the car will
occur then If at all.
WIssMANN's EXPEDITION
Can't. Wissmann's expedition against
Mpwapwa consists Of 2, ,000 mon. A large
amount Of ammunition left Zanzibar on
Monday last for the scene of the operations.
The German public generally IS Indifferent
toward the success Of the Eaglish lntriguss
bv which Lusm was csded to England. The
advocates Of ths policy OF colonial extension
denounce the treatment Of DIR. Peters.
BACK FROM SAMOA.
The crews of the German men-of-war
Adler and Eber, which we're wrecked In
tho Samoa hurricane in March last, have
arrived at Kiel. Prince Henry, IN an ad-
dress. told them that they had nobly per-
formed their duty in Samoa, showing
