BISMARCK ACCEPTS
The Geestemunde Candidacy for
the Reichstag.
MASSING OF RUSSIAN TROOPS
On the Galacian FrOntier-The Report of the
Abolition of Restrictions on American
Pork is Somewhat Premature

BERLIN, April Copyright, 1891, by
the New York Associated Press. The
electoral contest at Geestemunde, where
Prince Bismarck's candidacy for the reich
stag is opposed by candidates belonging to
the Socialist and Progressists' party, has
assumed the proportions of great event.
Bismarck has definitely accepted the can
didacy on the assurance that he will receive
triumphant majority. Accepting Bis
marck's temperance in the reichstag as
certain, every body asks what his line of &C.
ton will be when there. He, himself, states
he will only sit if political events require
his intervention. Count Herbert Bismarck
has told some of his friends that events
seemed to hasten his fathers presence in
the reichstag. The pessimist view of the
foreign situation published by the Bis
marck press generally concludes with the
suggestion that the princes continued alb
sence from politics is bad for the country.
No doubt renewal of a European crisis is
the motive ofaPrice Bismarck resuming
leading role.
Prof Delbruck, the eminent free Con-
sentative, in an article in Prelts Sicz Jdhre
btcher, predicts misfortune to the prince
will overturn the government to realize
power, or he will be crushed and end mis-
life in gloom and shame.
| The Hamburger Ndchrichten denies It's the
intention of the prince to offer any yehe-
ment opposition to the Emperor's foreign
policy; but, proceeding to give authorita-
tive views on the situation abroad, the
Ndchrichten discloses that the princes ideas
are directly opposed to the policy OF the
government.
In a discussion Of the question as to
whether Prince Bismarck will try to form
q party, the Greg6nlgdrt publishes letter
of the prince to George Winter, in which
he says: Though 1 desire to see formed
a great homogeneous parliamentary major
| iuy, L fear it is vain wish" These ex-
preSSionS clearly denote some intention to
construct potent parliamentary group.
The Hamburg Socialists threaten to make
a riotous demonstration in Geestmunde the
day of voting. The intention is to construct
a potent parliamentary group. Then they
will send contingents for the purpose OF
making a lively time.
Exact details concerning the Russian
movement on the frontier prove the in
crease of troops along the Galacian frontier
amounts to twelve batalllons. The st.
Petersburg government will acquire all the
southern Russian railways so as to form a
direct line from the Black sea to the Baltic.
The plan is of great strategetic Importance.
The report of the abolition of restrictions
against American pork is entirely prema-
ture. The truth of the matter is the gov
eminent will not withdraw the restrictions
until tne new American measures are put
into efficient operation. Probably live
swine will be admitted first, following the
precedent of live cattle. The importation
of American cattle grows apace. 1t devel
ops in the same ratio every month; it will
soon assume enormous proportions. Off
cial Hamburg figures show importations
were, in January, IA head; February, 45l
