uncertainty Of European politics, especially

garded as simply short respite before
the inevitable struggle. The NOrth uermau

predict It's overthrow within a few weeks
and the apprehension existing in the inan-
clal world Is revealed in the expression by

after the general elections. Prince BIS

Emperor. The event Is much commented
on as intended 10 dispel the idea that d.
yergence Of views exists between the En-
perOr and Chancellor.
The rumor that Prince Bismarck had
advised the Emperor 10 replace Count Won
Wsldcrsee as aide-decamp by another officer
is declared TO be entirely without founda-
ton. The Emperor is FIR from being free
from the painful earache. The recent
changes in the weather have given Dlm

that General Stachan will succeed Scneen-
