BERLIN, April 10.-The electoral contest
at Geestemunde, where Prince Bismarck 3
candidacy for the Reichstag is opposed by
candidates belonging to the socialist and
proGressist parties, has assumed the pro-
portions of great political event. Prince
Bismarck has definitely accepted tho candl-
dature on the assurance that he will receive
triumphant majority. Accepting Bis
marck's reappearance in the Reichstag as
certain, everybody asks what his line of
action will be while there. He himself
states that he will only sit if politi-
cal events require his intervention.
Count Herbert Bismarck has told some of
his friends that events seemed likely to
hasten his fathers presence in the reich
stag. The pessimistic views of the foreign
situation, published by the Bismarckian
press generally, coincide with the sugges-
tion that the princes continued absence
from politics is bad for the country. No
doubt the renewal of the European crisis is
the motive for Prince Bismarck's resumine
a leading role.
Prof. Delbruck, the eminent free con-
seryative, in an article in the Preus Siese
Jahrbucher, predicts misfortune to the
prince or the government. "lIither the ex-
chancellor" he says, Twill overturn the
government to realize power, or he
will be crushed and end his
life in gloom and shame"
The Hamburger Nachrichten denied that
it IS the intention of the prince to offer any
vehement opposition to the emperor's for
eelgn! policy; but, proceeding to give author
win nnO 0rNf hn ifro Oh,
Nachrichten discloses that the princes
ideas are directly opposed to the policy of
the government.
In discussing the question rs to whether
Prince Bismarck will try to form party.
the Gregenwart publishes letter of the
prince to George Winter, in which he says:
Though | desire to see formed a great
homogeneous parliamentary majority |
fear it is Il vain wish.'' These expressions
clearly denote some intention to attempt to
construct potent parliamentary group.
The Hamburg socialists threaten to make
the day af voting. The intention is to con-
struct potent parliamentary group. They
will send contingents for the purpose of
making a lively time.
Exact details concerning the Russian
movement on the frontier prove that in the
case of troops along the Galician frontier
it amounts to twelve battalions.
The ST. Petersburg government will ac-
quire all southern Russian railways so as to
form direct line from the Black sea to
the Baltic. The plan is of great strategic
Importance.
The report of the abolition of restric-
tions against American pork is entirely
premature. The truth of the matter is the
government will not withdraw the restric-
tions until the new American measures are
put into efficient operations. Probably
live swine will be admitted first, following
the precedent of live cattle. The importa-
tlon of American cattle grows apace. 1t
develops in the same ratio every month.
1t will soon assume enormous proportions.
Official Hamburg figures show that impor-
tations were, in Januury 144 head, in Feb
ruary 451 in March Sl1.
