BERLIN, June 1S.-lCopyright 1884, by the
new fork Associated Press. l-Undaunted by
the overwhelming majority which supported
chancellor Won Caprivi on the cereal duties
question, the members of the Fresinnige party,
at mass meeting, decided to prosecute more
vigorously than ever the anti-grain duties law
agitation Figures published by the Liberal
press showing that the stores of cereals in Ger
many were nearly exhausted have elected on
cial statistics which are given in to-day's issue
or the Rsicfsdnzsigsr, which aims TO prove the
grain harvest OF 1890 was not short but on the
contrary was better than that of 1882 being
equal 10 the average harvest for the last ten
years. The figures are admittedly based on
rough computations. They show the crop Of 1890
yielded l3s 900 tons OF wheat and 5S77 GOO tons
OF rye against 1872 $50 tons of wheat and
5,36S, 420 tons OF rye in the preceding year, and
an average OF :, 47g, 900 tons of wheat and 4702.
zoo tons OF rye the past decade. The potato
crop OF 1890 amounted TO % $50 600 tons against
an annual average of % sS4 COO tons for the past
ten years. ton in these statistics signifies
lUO Kilograms, or l,g77 pounds. Allowing that
the figures of the RsichSdRzei0er are accurate
the fact remains that the high prices OF bread
presses heavily upon the working classes. The
declaration OF Chancellor Won Caprivi that
crops IN Germany are in better condition than
generally supposed have been contradicted by
reliable reports from several quarters OF the
empire, received by telegraph to-day. In the
meantime memorials from Munich Hamburg.
Dresden and other centres reach the chancei-
lor, protesting the necessity of reduction OF
the tariff on grain. The session of the landtag
will be brought to a close next week, when the
liberal members will carry tie agitation into
the country districts.
Military and social circles are equally amazed
over the revelation regarding the conditions OF
society in England. The admission that the
Prince OF Wales has been involved in a gam
bling scandal is the principal topic of converse
ton at all military casinos and clubs. The &C
ton ofthe prince in the affair is emphatically
condemned. 1t is impossible, it is stated, 20
conceive Of high Prussian officer condonfng
the ofense of cheating screening person
found guilty OF such an act. The newspaper
press draws a comparison between the habits
Emperor William, whose strong con-
domination OF gambling in the German
army has greatly assisted to check the
practice of playing for high stakes.
The heine Journal goes so far in alluding to
the relations OF the Princess of Wales towards
her husband as to say she is neglected for
consolation in the respect with which the Eng
lish people surround her.
The suit for libel now being tried at Rochum
continues TO excite the country. The prosecu-
ton has asked the Easen tribunal TO sentence
Editor Tuscongel to two years and Lunemann
to one years Imprisonment, respectively for
accusing Herr Baare. director OF the Bochum
iron works and friend and financial adviser OF
Prince Bismarck, with classifying his income
for the purpose OF escaping the income tax.
graver charge is that Herr Baaer for sixteen
years has been sending out from his works steel
rails which have not been properly tested and
which bear forgery of the government stamp
The suspicion that Baaer has originated
system OF supplying German ana foreign
railways with poor material, fraudulently
stamped as officially tested, will not be set at
rest without an open governmental inquiry
which certain of the officials are accused OF try
Tag to prevent.
The Post asserts the French governments de-
mand that the Car make definite declaration
as TO what attitude he would assume in the
event OF a FrancO-German war has obtained
only the vaguest response, committing Russia
to nothing.
At a conference of Hebrews held here, il has
been resolved 10 form an international emigra-
ton committee. for the purpose Of supervising
the emigration OF Jews from Russia. Only ref
ugees who have been compelled 10 leave their
homes will be assisted, and these will all be
sent to their ultimate places Of settlement AT
this conference ample evidence was adduced to
show the exodus is assuming immense
proportions. IT has little effect upon Germany
and England, however, the flood of emigration
tending towards the United States.

by Emil Seinert, the American-German adven-
turer who was recently sentenced 10 two years
