and the Geffcken, Letters.
BERLIN, January 22d.-The Bunderath's
speedy disposal of the East Africa bill will
enable the Reichstag to pass the measure
through its second reading stage within a
week
Prince Bismarck remains in Berlin pur-
posely to defend the Governments colo
nial policy.
Captain Wissmann will start next Mon-
day, with twenty officers, on the Emin re-
lief expedition.
According to statements current in
official circles. If Prince Bismarck is
forced by political exigepcies to publish
the letters in the Gefieken case, as limited
by the Cologne Gazette, he will
prove that Frederick and his wife were in
discreet and divulged the plans of Prussia,
and that even before the campaign of 1870
Darmstadt was the focus for intrigues
against the uni6cation OF Germany. The
documents that are withheld afford ample
justification for Bismarck's accusations
against Frederick in his report to the pres
ent Emperor, but the strength of public
feeling against further scandal has become
so extreme that the semi.official press has
received bints TO cease discussing the sub
ject.
Princess Bismarck is ill with a. bronchial
affection.
The annual fete of the Berlin students
Anti-Semifie Association was honored with

patches from London and Berlin in regard
to Samoan affairs, published this morning

noon. with view of obtaining some ex-
preston OF opinion from him on the sub.
Ject: his attention was specially invited
to the statements that Germany has come
to definite understanding with the United
States with regard to Samoa, and in re-
sponse he said:
"Of course, expect Germany to live up
10 her honorable engagements with the
United States, but you must know there
are matters DO not care to discuss in the
newspapers
When asked in regard to the policv of
this Government, he referred to the Pres.
idents message to Congress of the 18th
INST, and quoted from his letter to the
German Minister dated the 18th inst, and
which was recently published as expressive
OF his own views upon the subject. The
Secretary also alluded to the agreement
entered in,o between Great Britain and
Germany in April, 1886, defining the
boundaries of English and German domin-
!ons IN the west Pacific Ocean, in which it
is specifically declared that the Samoan
Islands are neutral territory. The United
otetes, He Explained, mas no Government
treaty with either England or Germany in
regard to the neutrality of Samoa. There
tore, If Germany has interfered with the
neutrality Of the country she has not broken
any treaty with the United States but has
broken one with Great Britain.
The fact that nothing has been recently
received by cable from Auckland is regarded
as evidence that the danger in the Samoan
group is not at.present serious Auckland

sent by schooners several hundred miles
west to reach small island at which

round contest with small gloves, under
Queensberry rules, between Patsy Cardiff,

this evening. In the first four rounds Fell
was on the aggressive, and got in somevery
heavy blows. although Cardiff claimed the.
first blood in the second round. In the
next three rounds the honors were about
even, but in the eighth round Cardiff be-
gan to rush, and did some effective fighiing
in that and the succeeding rounds. in the
eleventh Fell seemed weaker, and his
blows were not effective, while Cardiff did
some telling work.
From this time it was apparent that Car
diff had the best of it. The fifteenth round
was rough-and-tumble, in which Fell tried
hard to hold his own, even when forced
against the ropes. Finally the men began
to fight savagely, clinchinx and wrestling
in defiance of the referees orders. Car
diffs friends claimed foal, and the referee
gave him the fight on that ground. Neither
man was badly punished, although Car.
