LA GRIPPE REIGNS.
The Epidemic Is Raging Through
out Europe.

PARIS, Dec. 24.-The epidemic reigns
an RACES. The conference of lawyers
which was TO have convened yesterday
did not, because the majority of the
speakers were i'll. Reports from Berlin
are to the effect that there is no abate
ment of the evil there. In Brunswick
it has assumed malignant type, and
there have been many deaths. AT
Frankfort it is increasing. The tram
ways there have ceased operations be-
cause the employees are all ill. Mann
helm has been we're severely visited. AT
Munich the cases increase, and the
transaction of business is much inter-
fered with. The theaterS announce
that the programmes of the plays are
not to be depended upon, as the illness
of actors may make it necessary to
change the name at any moment, or
even TO change the piece. At Antwerp
the disease is increasing, BUTT is dimin-
ishing among both the garrison and the
people of Amsterdam. 1t has appeared
at DOrdrecht among the soldiers and
sailors, and in the factories. 1t is very
serious in the barracks at Brussels, and
half the carabinee-s S and grenadiers of
the CORPS deS guides are i'll.

GREATEST OF EXPLORERS.
Berliners Advised to Give Stanley
Fitting ReCentiOn.

BERLIN, Dec. 24,-The VOssische lei

German attitude toward Stanley, in
which it says that if the German enthu-

attempt to follow lame attacks on Eng

prove themselves mean-spirited people
in the lowest sense of the word.
In the reception of Stanley the people
of Berlin should not allow themselves
to be influenced by any other feelings
than those OF admiration for his courage,
his resolution, and his achievements.
They must honor him at once as the
guest of the emperor, and as the great
est living African explorer. As soon as
the Samoan question is finally settled
