,cport Of Nliqust. the Prussian Minister of
p,nance. will be presented to the Emperor
Tuesday. Information received from the
German Embassy in Paris that Ribot, the
French Minister Of Foreign Affairs, had ne
cotaied with Whitelaw Reid, the Ameri-
can Minister. for a reciprocity arrange
ment between France and tho United
states. has summsrily settled the project
Of Count Kalnoky, the Austro-Hungarian
Prime Minister. for combined reprisais
against the United States in retaliation OF
the Mckinley tariff bill. Emperor Will
liam never entertained the idea OF re-
prisals. Chancellor Won Caprivi appears to
have dalled with the project until the En-
pcror's return from the manmuvres, when
tho suggestions Of the semi-official press
here and in Vienna for a customs coalition
suddenly ceased.
REOPEN THE MARKET.
Chancellor Won Caprivi had conference
With Miquet. and accepted his scheme to
lessen the cost Of living, TO the masses by
higher imposts on the moneyed classes.

inc of the German market TO American
pork The official impression here IS that
Minister Phelps's overtures for the settle
r,cnt If renewed and backed 10y some easy
concessions on German exports TO the
United States will find n ready response
from Chancellor Won Caprivi. Advices
from Vienna indicate that the Austrian
Government also accepts the principle OF
reciprocity. Count Kalnoky having in
structed the Austrian Minister at Wash
inrton to make representations IN the mat
,ar OF Mother-Pearl and other Austrian
industries affected 10y the Mckinley bill

THE scHKMK TOO EXPENSIVE.
Herr Miquets financial statements have
d,ci.iyely influenced military reforms, and
led TO the retirement of General Nerdy du
yernois from the War Ministry and the
rrofcred resignation Of General Count Won
Wa,dersee both Of whom urged Emperor
William TO adopt tho steamboats, plan
Gr the reorganization Of the army. TINS
plan ontailed large additions to the artil-
low and cavalry, and a consequent heavy
increase in the war budget. General du
Vernois. believing that the Emperor would
assent announced in committee OF the
Neicbsfag at the last session the Scharn-
horst scheme as adopted. Herr Mlquets
calculations proved chat the carrying out
q Steamboats, plan and budget of $780,
100000 marks would render the kalsers
aims in the direction OF social ameloration
hopeless.
Despite the popularity Of the Scharn-
horst scheme in military circles, the Chan
cellor has thrown the whole weight OF his
influence against adding to tho war budget.
The Emperor's definite approval of the
Miouet ideas made the retirement of Cen
eral yerdv du Vernois and General Count
Won WaldeTsee inevitable.
THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
The semi-ofiicial press maintains silence
IN regard to the renewal of the triple ALL
enoe. A communication published IN the
pesthrr lord announced that an agreement
Ind been obtained. The scope of the
agreement is in the mean time withheld
from the public. The communication
adds that the strengthening of the ALI
ance has been fully achieved.
AGAINST TIE SOCIALISTS.
Preparations against the Socialist mani
festations on October lst are equal to the
contingencies of civil war. The police
have been ordered to act on modified
system. andhaye been reinforced IN every
populous centre where il is supposed
thew will be required. Troops will be
kent in readiness in their barracks. Com
mittees Of the Socialists ridicule the e1-
mediation Of on outbreak, knowing the
pacifc character of the arrangements.
There will be no public mass demonstra-
ton.
HxPELIED SOCIALISTS.
Delegates from the Berlin committees
will await the arrival at the stations of a
number Of Socialists who were expelled,
twenty-six Of whom have signifed their
intention of returning out of several hun
drod who were expelled. They will be
conducted TO a reception-rOom, where
they will be welcomed and banquet given
TO them. A number of coneratulatory
speeches will be made. Several extremists
will be excluded from the proceedings in
order TO prevent the police having any ex-
cuse to interfere and to avoid subsequent
persecution under tho common law. Those
taking part in tho celebration will wear
medals that have been struck of IN CON-
memorotion OF the expiration of the re-
prosAon law.
WHERE THRY WILL MEET.
Great assemblies will gather here and in
Ieipsic, Hamburg. and Frankfort, but
everywhere they will be organized to pre-
clue any disorder or breach of the law.
Centralist papers announce that this will
be an opportuue time TO issue a statepent
on social questions, signed by all the Ca
tholic bishops IN Prussia.
Tho conference of Volkspartei. which
waa attended by 200 delegates, has been
held. Krobor presided 1t was decided
TO maintain an Independent party exist
ence. A number of delegates advocated
that the party DO merged with the Pro-
gTcsslsts.
BISMARCK TO VISIT SCOTLAND,
Lord Roseberry and Count Herbert Bis
uarck arrived here to-day from Fried.
rchsruhe, where Lord Roseberry has been
soiourning for several days. He obtained
from Prince Bismarck the promise that he
would visit Scotland in the spring if the
political situation permitted.
IsHK STILL IN THE OFFICE?
In letters 10 several members of the Her
renhaus Bismarck stated his intention tc
attend all the debates on questions OF
national Importance. The Breslau zet
,n7 in a report of an interview with the
e1-Chancellor made him say that he is still
vce-president of the Staatsrath, holding
81 immovable position. Semi-oflicial com
uunications in the press affirm that The
Office IN question was held by virtue of hi
official functions. and that IT ceased on the
day his resignation from the chancellory
was accepted.
The point debatable ia whether Bis
marck's honorary rank qualities him fol
the Staatsrath.
