The Samoan Treaty-Bismarck Eyeinc
the Czar-Workmen's Strikes.
BERLIN, June Sth.-The DELAY in the
transmission from Washington of the as
sent TO the Samoan treaty originated ru-
mors that Blaine desired a revision on sew
ersl points. inquiries at the Foreign Office
and English Embassy ELECTED the informa.
ton that nothing had occurred that is
likely TO retard the exchange of signatures
or to require further reference TO the Com
mittee on Plenary Conference.
Blame has been in communication with
Phelps regarding the verbal amendments
to the protocols which were submitted to
Count Herbert Bismarck and Sir Edward
Molet and accepted without comment. The
official irritation over Blaine's cautious
scrutiny of the protocols is abating, with a
growing recognition of the Justice and
value of the American plans upon the
final decisive settlement of the Samoan
question. The Impotence of the Foreign
Office to close the matter has not hastened
the action of Lord Salisbury any more than
it has Blaine.
The English Commissioners do not at
tach the slightest importance to the dila-
tory procedure at their Foreign Office. AS
soon as the Washington Government ca
bles sign" Lord Salisbury's assent will be
ready.
From the nature of the latest communi.
cations to the American Commission i; is
expected that the conference will meet on
Wednesday for the last time.
Blaine has asked concerning the arrange
ments for the return of Malieioa.
1t is settled that the electoral decision of
the natives will be taken some time after
Malietoa is reinstated
RlSmaTcE'S 8 nprip1 pf rppnSa or
hausen was probably cut short by advices
from st. Petersburg, showing a renewal of
the openly hostile policy of the Gar.
The EmperorS programme for his visit
to England for the reception of Emperor
Frances Joseph and other plans remain
uncertain through the Cars taCit refusal
to settle preliminaries for projected inter
view with Emperor William.
Bismarck sent to ST. Petersburg asking
the appointment of a date and place for the
meeting of the Emperors. The Gar de-
clined to appoint further than on returning
from Copenhagen he might meet Emperor
William at keil. This tame response
from Russia renders the sending of
formal invitation from Berlin doubtful.
Semi-otficial newspapers say that the
cordial personal relations between the Gar
and Emperor William are unchanged, but
they ignore the fact of renewal of strained
relations of the Vienna and Berlin Gov
ernments toward Russia.
There is no abatement in the general
strike movement. Masons and carpenters
of Berlin are steadfast in their demands
and are confident of final victory. The
VOlkSblaH announces combined action
among workmen on the royal estates.
Coachmen, stablemen and gardeners de-
mand increased pay. The Emperor has
already ordered the wages of the married
men to be raised.
The police are more Extensively active to
suppress workmen's meetings everywhere
Conservative journals bitterly comment
upon the Imperial protection to workmen.
They declare it is misplaced and that
workmen are becoming corrupted by social
ism and friends OF France.
The KTeuz ZeitJHg announces that the
socialist members OF the Reichstag favor
organizing visits of worknen's delegates to
Paris, and urges the Government TO sup
press their arrangements.
The dispute of German socialists with
those of France is settled. The Paris Con-
gress is likely to have large German
