Africa had almost reached the point Of
an exchange of a protocol conceding to
Germany sphere Of influence extend
ing from the east coast to the Congo
Free State, when Lord Salisbury. the
British prime minister. sent his envoy,
Sir Percy Anderson, emphatic orders TO
suspend communications and await in
structionS. Since then, Sir Edward
Mallet, the British ambassador at Ber-
lin, has intimated that the negotiations
will only be resumed on the basis
of a recognition by Germany of
English rights on the west coast Of
Tanganyiki and the territories north of
Tanganyiki, including Uganda. The
foreign Office here interpretS the
changed attitude of Lord Salisbury to
the public clamor in England over the
threatened dispossession of the En-
glish from the territories connecting
the British empire in South At
RIGA with the sources of the
Nile. Whatever is Lord Sails
bury's motive, it has evoked an ener
getic protest from Chancellor Won
Caprivi, which the emperor either III
spired or indorsed Only strong
state, combined with family reasons,
determine the emperor to persist in his
cordial relations with the English gov
ernment. The North German Gazette,
whose director recently had several in
terviews with Chancellor Won Caprivi,
obtained a semi-offcial communication
advocating continuance of tha
English Occupation
of Egypt as essential to the prosperity
of that country. The article obviously
pointed that the German government
was ready 10 support a permanent occu-
patton of Egypt by the British. The
Gazette did not state the terms, but Sug-
gested that if Germany obtained hold
in the districts in Central Africa claimed
by England the British army would be
confirmed in the occupation OF Egypt.
The emperor, as if desiring to marx
the strength of the entente with
England, is celebrating the queens
birthday with unusual cere-
mony. Sir Edward Malet and
the whole British embassy banqueted
tonight at the royal castle. The en-
peror toasted the queen as the head OF
great family, the ruler of friendly ma
tion and commander of the first German
dragons. In conclusion he said: "May
God preserve and protect and bless her
for MANY wears to come" The British
ambassador responded and offered
toast in honor Of the emperor, who after
wards proposed the health Of Chancellor
Won Caprivi, calling him his trusted
minister and valuable
SERVANT OF THE COUNTRY.

government building. 1t is improbable
that this etfuSive display of desire to
cultivate the friendship of England will
induce Lord Salisbury to cOncede the
demands of Germany, even if Egypt
should be thrown into the balance. Gen.
Won Caprivi will not abate his claims,
and the issue will be an indefinite Sus-
pension OF negotiations. which will
leave both parties to proceed
with the game of territorial grab.
until the complications arising
therefrom become more critical.
The newspapers, commenting upon
Lold SaliSbury's utterances on the ques-
ton, concur in the opinion that Warllke
complications are impossible, all the
territory acquired by Germany III Africa
not being worth a European war. At
the same time, 1t is felt that the Ger
source of trouble with England in the
near future. The reichStag committee
on the army and labor protection bills
will reaSsemble a week before the
plenary sitting of the house. The prog
ress of the army bill justifieS the calcula-
ton that it will be passed by vote of
245 in favor to 152 against, despite the
governments admission that the pres
ent demand is
A Mere Installment.
Herr Richter, in an article in the
Freisinnige, commenting on the dis
closures made to the committee, say
that they show that in the near per-
spectfve the German peace effective will
be 614.0O0 men instead of 46S,000. Herr
Maltzahn's refusal to satisfy DR.. Wind
thorst in the committee on the report
that the treasury will want 500.000,000
marks to execute the governments mil
itary plans will not retard the success
of the bill. The socialists, a section
of the FreiSinnige party and
section of the Clericals will
join the Conservatives in sup
porting it. The socialists have three
members, Herren Bebel, Dietz and Grill
enberger, OIL the labor committee. They
are sanguine that they will get clauses
introduced in the labor bill constituting
workmen's syndicates and labor bureaus
under a special minister Of labor. They
are even hopeful of having the eight
hour principle recognized, although
they do not expect to have it made eff
feetive. The position of the Freisin-
nige party is more than ever uncer-
tain. The election of Herr Schrader as
president of the party'S committee, in
place OF Herr Richter, indicates
A Widened Rupture
| in the party. The FreSinnige Zeitung
saws that Herr Richter continues to pre-
| side over committee of direction, con-
| sisting of seven members, Herr Schrad-
| er having received merely an honorary
appointment to the presidency of the
| committee of thirteen. This eXplana-
ton does not touch the fact that open
| disunion is dimishing the strength of
| the party. The Hamburg Correspond
ent says that Prince and Princess Bis
marck will visit the marquis of London
derry and the earl of RoSe6erry, in
England, at the end of June,
remaining six weeks. During the week
Prince Bismarck entertained Herr
| BIeichroeder, DR.. Bucher and his old
secretary, Rothenberg, who is assisting
him in arranging his memoirs. The So
cialist and FreiSinnige papers TEEN

ey-chancellor. 1t is asserted that the
emperor is highly incensed because of
the princes statements to the CORE
