Berlin, Feb 23.-Dlplomatc and Ministerial dinners
the order of the day. eagerly discussed
as afording indications OF personal and International
relations. Prince Bismarck yesterday gave dinner
to the members Of the Lower House Of the Prussian
Diet, and during the serving of coffee complained Of
the heavy labor created for him by what he termed
the so-called colonies lie ascrbed the blame for
no small portion of his difficulties TO the action Of
colonial officials, who, he said, frequently acted with
out requisite knowledge Of the circumstances and
especially did not how TO treat natives 1t
impossible, the Chancellor said TO allow trivial dis
putes to Introduce any diocordant element into
Germanys relations with the great friendly Powers,
as the slightest disturbance of the harmony prevailing
between the Imperial Government and foreign States
might have most prejudcial effects upon German
commercial and business relations
Prince Bismarck is said TO have been greatly an
noyed at the Consups proposals TO annex Samoa;
and the "Vossschc zeitung's' question as to what
would be thought of Consul who telegraphed
proposal to annex Zurich Luxembourg Is believed
to be identical with the option Of the Chancellor.
In explanation of the reported ordering Of a
German squadron to Samoa, the National Zeung'
observes that the impending punishment of Mataafa
will have no effect upon GGmanys relations with
England aud America, the right Of Germany to inter-
in che matter not bong contested In any
quarter The report must however, be received with
reserve. Tho squadron is progsioned for Port Said
in order, probably 10 be in readiness TO proceed TO
East Africa, or to await the development of affairs.
1t may at least be assumed tlat the squadron Will
go to Samoa only In case the American Government
proves exacting or unreasonable.
UNCERTAINTY OF EUROPEAN POLITICS
Prince BismarcRs desire 10 avoid colonial troubles
Is due In largo measure to the

simply short respite before thu inevitable struggle
The "North German Gazettes and other leading
German papers predict Its overthrow within few
weeks and the apprehension existing in the financial
world Is revealed in the expression by the National
zeitung' Of tho hope that the Paris Exhibition viii DO

occur until after the general election. Prince Bis

DIPLOMATIC AND STATE. DINNERS
The dinner Of tho French Embassy has been fixed
for April o. 1t IS stated that both the Emperor and
Empress will be among tie guests.
All tho ministers and chiefs Of he military and
civil cabinets have been invited 10 10 present at tho
dinner to be given to Prince Blsmark on Monday TO
meet the Emperor. The dinner Is much commented
on, as intended dspel the idea tat a divergence
Of views exists between tho Empero and the Chan
ceror. The rumor that Prince Bismarck had advised
the Emperor TO replace Count Won wadersee as aide
decanip by another officer Is declares 10 be entirely
without foundation.
THE EMPERoRS PERSISTENT EE2 TROUBLE
The Emperor IS far from being frc, from painful
earaohes. The recent changes in the weather have
given him much trouble. He is obliged sometimes
have RECOURSE 70 mophia In order TO obtain few
hours sleep. This makes difference however, IN
his activity. He will honor BY HIS presence Count
