BERLIN, August 3l.-The coming session
of the reichstag is not expected to be stormy
or sensational. Among the most important
measures to be introduced is bill which the
government is preparing for credits to aug
ment and reorganze the army, in view of the
continual increase of tho French and Rus
sian armaments The members of the reich
stag and the public are being prepared for
this line of 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 military law will
enable France to put into the field.
Several petitions have been sent to the
government from Alsace-L Lorraine asking
that the authorities be instructed to miti-
gate the rigors Of the passport regulations.
The petitions thus far have met with no re-
sponse from the government
The Strausbourg Landes Zeitung even re-
ports that the permission hitherto accorded
in parishes adjoining the frontier to dispense
with the exhibition of passports where there
is frequent crossings for business purposes,
Is now withdrawn. No reason for the with
drawal is assigned.
There is no cessation in the press polemics
on African affairs. The Vossische Zeitung,
commenting upon the appearance of
The English blue book says that
the object seems to De to demonstrate anew,
In spite OF German Indignation meetings and
revilmgs against England in regard to the
Emin relief expedition, the fact that the
Anglo-Cerman understanding has not under
gone the slightest interruption. The
Vossische Zeitung believes that this entente
cordale precluded the possibility of Germany
landing the smallest countenance to any
efforts like that of Dr. Peters to interfere
with the English plans in central
Africa. The Boersen Zeitung declares
that during the negotiations for
joint blockade Germany gave formal
assurance that the Emin province, including
Waddi, though officially abandoned by
Egypt, should still be regarded at least pro-
visionally. as belonging TO Egypt.
The assertion that formal agreement was
made ID perhaps exaggerated, both the North
German Gazette's attack on the Cologne Ga
zette and the national liberal party's organs
fayoring DIR. Peters, indicate Prince Bis
marck's firm intention TO give no offeuse to
England IN colonial matters. The Hanover
Courier, Herr Bennigsen's organ, deplores
the MISUNDERSTANDING created by the
North German Gazette and regrets that
the friends of Prince Bismarck and
the emperor, in high position, should be at
: tackled because they failed to foresee year
ago the rapproachment with England.
The Frankfort Gazette similarly expresses
surprise. considering the license Prince Bis
marck formerly allowed, that 1t should now
be so dangerous to endeavor to ascertain in
a perfectly passionless manner what are
Germany's rights as compared with English
private transgressions. The Gazette asks in
tone of sarcasm, "What is the enormous
price England must be paying for total
suppression of even the most modest express
sion of public opinion regarding German
colonial subjects"
The vossische Zeitung supports the atti-
tude of the North German Gazette.
kilograms from Copenhagen represent the
king OF Denmark as surprised that his SON
in-law should have so long delayed return
ing Emperor Williams visit and as most
anxious that this act of courtesy should no
longer be deferred; still after so many dis
appointments the statement that the czar has
decided to come next week, meets with
deal Of skepticism even in off,
cial circles. The bitter articles
Of the Berlin Post and other papers
may be attributed to the annoyance caused
by these delays. The Port declares the only
way to turn the attention of Russia from war
is for the European powers to give her free
hand in Asia or the Balkans.
The marriage festivities at Copenhagen
will bring a large gathering. IL is estimated
that forty members Of the imperial aud royal
families will be present, the assembling of
whom gives rise to numerous betrothai
rumors.
The Bochum congress was well attended.
There was some disappointment over the
lack Of original and practical ideas for the
ameioration of the condition of workingmen.
Count Gaien delivered the best discourse
on the question. Six thousand per-
sons assembled 10 hear DIR. Windthrost
deal with religious education and the efforts
OF the centrsts on behalf of the miners. The
congress adopted an address in favor of the
restoration of the temporal power of the
pope.
The National Gazette, apparently the only
authority of the Chinese ambassador, denies
the story that Count Won Waldorsee elabor-
ated the plan OF campaign for China during
the Tonquin war.
The Post issues an official denial that Ger
many has any designs on Crete.
