BERLIN, August 31.-The coming ses-
sion of the Reichstag is not expected to be
either stormy or sensational. Among the
most important measures to be introdu ced
is bill which the Government is preparing
for credits to augment and reorganize the
army, in view of the continual increase OF
the French and Russian ornaments.
The members of the Reichstag AND the
public are being prepared for this bill by
significant articles in all the official organs.
These papers are demanding an increase OF
the German forces which is calculated on
the effective force that the new French mill
tary law will enable France to put into the
field. The Radical newspapers have begun
an agitation for reduction of the period OF
compulsory military service with the colors
THEY MUST DRILL.
The term is three years, and the Radicals
Office will not entertain the suggestion.
The Bundesrath, which meets about the
end of September, will begin its work by
examining the Socialist law and discussing
a project tor the reform of the Imperial
Bank.
Several petitions have been sent to the
Government from Alsace-Lorraine asking
that the authorities there be instructed to
mitigate the rigors of the passport regula-
tions. The petitions have thus far met
with no response from the Government.
The Strasburg Landes- Zeitung even reports
that the permission hitherto accorded in
parishes adjoining the frontier to dispense
with the exhibition of passports where
there are frequent crossings for business
purposes is now Withdrawn.
There is no cessation in the press polemic
on African affairs. The VoSsische Zeitung,
commenting upon the appearance of the
English Blue Book, says that the object
seems to be to demonstrate anew, in spite OF
German
INDIGNATION MEETINGS
and revilings against England in regard to
the Emin relief expedition, the fact that
the Anglo-German understanding has not
undergone the slightest interruption. The
HossiSche Zeitung believes that this entente
ing the smallest countenance to any efforts
like that of DIR. Peters to interfere with the
English plans in Central Africa.
The Boersen Zeitunq declares that during
the negotiations for Joint blockade Ger
many gave formal assurance that Emin's
province, including Wadelai, though
officially abandoned by Egvpt, should still
be regarded, at least Professionally, as be-
longing to Egypt. The assertion that a
formal agreement was made is perhaps exagg-
Grated, but the North German Gazette's at
tacks on the Cologne Gazette and National
liberal organs favorable to DIR. Peters, in
dictate Prince Bismarck's firm intention
not to give offense to England in colonial
matters.
The Hanover Courier, Herr Benicsen's
organ, deplores the misunderstandings
created by the North German Gazette, and
regrets that the friends of Prince Bismarck
and the Emperor in high position should be
attacked because they failed to foresee
year ago 'he rapprochemen'' Win England.
SOMETHING OF A CHANGE.
The Frankfort Gazette similarly expresses
surnrise-considerinp the license Prince
Bismarck formerly alIowed-that it should
now be so dangerous to endeayor to ascer-
tain in a neriectlv nassionless manner what

STILL IN DOUBT.
Application at the Russian embassy fails
either to confirm or to DENY the report
Court officials do not expect the Car to
arrive before September Is, but they saw his
plans may be changed. After that date the
Kaiser's programme, including a visit to
Greece, has been definitely mapped out
without reference to the imperial meeting.
1t is rumored that the difficulty has arisen
from desire of the Czarina to accompany
her husband.
