RERIIN. March 23.-Count Herbert Bis
marck's visit TO England following so
closely upon that of Sir Edward Morel, the
British ambassador, has given rise to all
kinds of political speculations. Rumors
that England is to join the triple alliance,
NAV. however, be dismissed sumnar-
ily. as may also statements of the official
press that the count is merely making
holiday visit. The fact is that the visit has
a double object, the most important part of
which is the arrangement of the details for
the emperor's visit to England during the
coming summer, and to ascertain the
wishes of Queen Victoria whether the visit
shall be merely of domestic or shall
assume state character. II it is to be the
latter, Prince Bismarck is anxious to ar
range imposing accompaniments. 1t is
even stated in some quarters that the chan
cellor himself will attend the emperor but
this is doubtful. During the past week
Count Herbert has had a series Of long in
terviews with the emperor, at which the
matter of his majesty's visit was fully dis
cussed.
TO DISCUSS COLONIAL MATTERS.
In the second place Count Herbert will
take opportunity to discuss with Lord
II afTa, fha
two nations. 1t is not improbable that
some kind of an agreement will be arrived
at embodying the principles of the future
colonial policy where British and German
interests come in contact,
The Boersen Zeitung says that Count
Herbert Bismarck will endeavor to bring
the differing colonial views of England and
Germany into harmony. 1t instances the
South Sea Islands, where difficulties have
arisen through the British annex
alton of Herveys, which there
is reason to believe Germany
regards as contrary to treaty, and adds:
Count Herbert will endeavor to arrive at
an understanding on The Samoan question,
to which Lord Salisbury has shown HIM
self disposed, and will aim to conclude an
agreement in respect to East and West
Africa. 1t is believed in some quarters
that England's dis ute with Morocco will
also come under discussion"
The Post tonight announces that the Sa-
moan conference will be po tponed, proba-
bly, until the beginning of May. This may
be regarded as indicating an intention to
await the outcome of Count Herbsrt's mis-
sion. Prince Bismarck's reprimand Of Dr.
Knappe is much commented on. The
Freisinntge Zeitung points out that DR..
Knappe was really driven into a state of
Juror consularis by Herbert Bismarck's dis
patch of Jan. s, instructing him to effect
the necessary reprisals against the rebels,
VINO, he said, by attacking, had brought
about state of war.
SEIZURE OF THE voLKS ZEITUNG.
The seizure by the police authorities of
the VolcS Zeitung has created a great sensa-
tion, and the legal decision upon the right
of the police to suppress the paper is
awaited with considerable interest. Even
the national liberal press have not word
to sey in reference to what is generally
rated as rash and impudent proceeding
on the part Of the police while the feelings
Of liberal papers are shown by paragraph
In the Fretsientge Zeitung entitled:
Fearless and Enduring" and advising
steadfastness under tue threatened reac-
tiOnaTy measures Of the government, which
look like a return to the times of King
Frederick William.
The editor of the VolkS Zeitung has ad-
dressed letter 10 the papers denying any
relations with socialists, or connection with
either the Liebknechtor Hazenclever.
An article in the North German Gazette,
limiting AT increased strictness Of the press
laws, is little relished by liberal journals.
Several of to-nights papers state that the
Prussan government has already submitted
TO the Landtag proposal for amending the
provisions Of the penal code and press laws.
GERMANIZAT TIoN OF THE PROVINCES
A Strassburg letter to the Cologne Gazette
states that the government has resolved
upon stricter measure for the Germaniza-
ton OF the provinces, dismissal of school
masters and tutors unable to teach the Ger
man language, and replacing them partly
by Alsatians and partly by Germans.
Scandal has been caused by the bringing
OF serious charges against DIR. WEBB, a
member of the West Prussan Diet, and for
merly president OF the permanent commit
tee OF that body. DIR. WEBB is officially
charged with fraudulent appropriation of
I4,OOO marks which had been voted by the
colnmi tee for certain works. He will prob
. ably be compelled to resign.
