Count Herbert Bismarck, who has been

| told his friends that events seemed likely
to hasten his fathers presence in the reich
stag. The pessimist views of the foreign
situation published by the Bismurckian
Press generally cOnclud with the sugges-
lion that the princes continued absence
from politics is bad for the country There
is no doubt that the renewal Ofthe European
crisis is the motive of Prince Bismarcl's

Prof. DelbrIck, an eminent free COnser-

These expressions clearly denote some
intention to attempt to construct potent
parliamentary group.

PORK STILL RESTRICTED
The report of the abolition of the restric-
tons against American pork is entirely pre-
mature. The truth Of the matter is the 4
government will not withdraw the restric-
tons until the new measures under the law
OF March 3 are put into efficient operation
when probably live swine will be admitted
first, following the precedent of livestock
Concerning pork, it it is certain that
the most extreme methods of proof will be
demanded in regard to the condition of the
American product whilst nothing is done to

portions. The official Hamburg figures
show that the importations were in January

eighty-one. The first arrivals at Bremen
this week amounted TO a total of 45O head
LABOR REFORMS.
The reichstag has resumed the discus |

hoped that the house would seriously back |
his project so as to enable the reforms to |
come into force this year He is chagrined |
to find that the delays of procedure are so |
great that there will be no chance to apply |
the law before January next.
