BERLIN, April l2.-The electoral con.
test at Geestemunde, where Prince Bis.
marck's candidacy for the Reichstag is
opposed by candidates belonging to the
Socialist and Progressist parties, has as
sumed the proportions of great polii-
cal event. The entire interest Of the
country centers in the result OF next
Wednesday, on which day the polling
will take place. Prince Bismarck has
definitely accepted the candidature on
the assurance that he will receive tri-
umphant majority.
Accepting Prince Bismarck's q reappear.

body asks what his line Of action will be
when there. He himself states that he
will only cit in the House II political
events require his intervention.
Count Herbert Bismarck, who has
been staying in Berlin since Tuesday,
told some OF mis- friends that events
seemed likely to hasten his fathers re-
turn to the Reichstsg. The pessimist
views OF the foreign situation, published
by the Bismarckian press, generally con.

was formerly invariably atFable in his

circles here. Hitherto, NJ. Herbette's

peror William, and that the Ambassador
was on the most amicable personal terms
with the chiefs OF the Berlin Foreign
Office.
Nothing has occurred between the
Ambassador aud NJ. Ribot to indicate thA

the conduct OF the Ambassador in rela-
tton to the Paris incident TO have been
absolutely correct.

other Republican General Harrison owed
his nomination, Is likely to be made

there are inklings that it Is possible

The Rumors That the Output of His Reln-
cries is to be Restricted.
PHILADELPHIA, April l2.-With an
emphasis that did not admit OF any mis-.
understanding, @. A, spreckels, OF the
Spreckels refinery, last night placed the
seal OF denial upon the latest story rela-
tive to the restriction of the output OF
sugar from the local establishment. The
report had its inception in q dispatch
from Boston TO the effect that the Phil.
adelphia Sugar King had entered into
an sgreement with the American Sugar
Refining Company, whereby the home
production was to be limited to 1000
barrels day, in return for which con.
cession the Hayemeyer and Elder com.
bination in San Francisco was to be
closed, thereby leaving Messrs. spreck.
els in undsputed possession Of the Pa.
cifiC coast market.
"You may say" Mr.. spreckels re-
marked with calm deliberation and de-
cisiveness, "that the report is absolutely
without foundation. do not know
why il isso frequently revived. In the
face OF all We can cay the newspapers
keep on bringing 1t up again and again.
The Spreckels refinery will continue to
be operated at its fullest capacity, some
seven thousand barrels Of sugar per day.
No proposition has come 10 US, either
directly or indirectly, looking to the re.
striction OF the output. No such propo.
sition has been considered by us, and !
would like you TO cay unreservedly, that
no such project would receive the slight
est attention from u.s."
