BERLIN, August 31st,-The coming Ses-
sion 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 augment and reorgauize the
army, in view of the continual increase
of the French and Russian armaments.
The members of the Reichstag and the
public are being prepared for this bill by
significant articles in the official organs
These papers are demanding an increase of
the German force, which is calculated to be
as effective as the 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 Lorraine, asking
that the authorities be instructed to miti-
gate the rigors of the passport regulations.
The petitions thus far have met with no
response from the Government.
Telegrams from Copenhagen represent
the King of Denmark as surprised that his
son-in-law should have so long delayed the
returning of Emperor Williams visit and
as most anxious that this act of courtesy
should no longer be deferred. Still, after
so many disappointments, the statement
that the Car has decided to come next
week meets with deal of skepticism, even
in official circles. The bitter articles of the
Berlin Post and other papers may be attrib-
uted to the annoyance caused by these re-
peated delays. The Post declares the only
way to turn the attention of Russia from
war is for the European powers to agree to
give her free swing in Asia or the Balkans.
There is no cessation in the press pOlenlic
on African affairs. The F0SSiSiche ZeitlLpq
commenting upon the appearance of the
English Blue Book, says the object seems
to be to demonstrate anew, in spite of GeI-
man indignation meetings and the revil-
ings against England in regard to the
Emin Relief Expedition, the fact that the
Anglo-German understanding has not
undergone the slightest interruption.
FosSiSiche Zeitung believes this intent pre-
cludes the possibility of Germany lending
the smallest countenance to any efforts
like that of DR.. Peters to interfere with the
English plans in Central Boersen. The
Zeitung declares that during the negotia-
tons for joint blockade Germany gave
formal assurance that Emins Province, in
cluding Wadelai, though officially aban-
doned by Egypt, should still be regarded
at least Professionally, as belonging to
Egypt.
LIE dSSSIllOu bLidt iOIIlltl dSEeSU1SuL
was made is perhaps exaggerated, but the
North German Gazette attacks the Cologne
Gazette, and National Liberal organs favor
able to DR.. Peters, indicate that Prince
Bismarck is firm in his intention not to
give offense to England in colonial mat
tiers. The HdnOuer Courier, Herr Bennig-
sens organ, deplores the misunderstand-
ing created by the North German Gazette,
and regrets that friends of Prince Bismarck
and the Emperor, in high positions, should
be attacked because they failed to foresee,
years ago, the reapproachment with Eng
land.
The Frankfort Gazette similarly expresses
surprise, considering the license Prince
Bismarck formerly allowed, that it should
now be so dangerous to endeavor to ascer-
tain in perfectly passionless manner what
are the German rights as compared with
English private transgressions.
The Gazette ask in a tone of sarcasm,
What is the enormous price England must
be paid for total suppression of even the
most moderate expression of public opinion
regarding German Colonial subjects?"
The FosSich Zeituag supports the attitude
of the North German Gazette in brief that
scheme effects the possessions by
way of the interior, but will not effect the
German Colonial policy.
