insisted that every member of the club
should contribute. In consequence the club
quarters have been the scene Of several
verbal encounters which may probably be
the preludes TO a series of dueling chal-
lenges.
The semi-Oficial newspapers here publish
accounts of the fetes with which the Rus
slams have welcomed the Frenchmen, but
do not comment on them. The press gen.
orally discusses the political bearings of the
affair without acrimony. The KreGz Zei-
tuug says: The German navy, whose main
duty is the defense of the coast, is relieved
of a great probab lie cause of anxiety, and
having obtained the assurance OF this great
strategic advantage Germany can leave the
French and Russians to gush over their the
atrical determinations"
a leading German paper holds that the
Importance of the reception to the French
feet by the Russian Government has been
exaggerated. The paper further says that
although tile matter will exercise tangible
influence on the relations existing between
France and Russia, the permanent friend
ship of the Latin and Slavonic races is i'm
possible.
The National Zeitung announces that a
genuine brotherhood OF Frenchmen and
Russians is unattainable, holding that
Russia is uncivilized and France has few
points of sympathy with barbaric Russia"
The VOssiche Zeitung comments on the in
cidents attending the voyage of the French
feet, as affording valuable stragetic hints
for future war. 1t notes that the French
irOncladS are of deep draught, and could
not pass through the sound to the Baltic,
but had to proceed to deeper channels,
more open to attack from KieL The Vos-
siche calculates that French strategists are
reckoning on the aid of Denmark in the
next war, but holds that the support of Co.
penhagen forts would be rendered futile.
Emperor Williams criticisms of the stand
ard of qualification obtainable in the high
est schools has led to prolonged ministerial
consideration of the subject, resulting in an
official announcement to-day of the new ar
rangements. Students who have been
through the requisite course in the higher
real" schools, where languages, arts and
sciences are taught, are placed OH practical
equality with the students from the real
gymnasium" and become entitled to study
architecture, mining and forestry with q
subsequent right TO State appointments, in
Guiding appointments in the postal and tele-
graph services. Advancement to a higher
school no longer entities a student to render
only one years military service, but all STU
dents at the END of six years course in
any institution, after passing satisfactorily
an examination by State commission, OBJ
tain right to reduced terms of service.
These notifications will excite much COM
ment when they become generally known.
The reports that the Hamburg American
Packet Company are taking exiled Russian
Jews as passengers at reduced rates have
met with indignant denlals from the COM
Pany's officials. They say the Exilrs' Com
mittee pay the full price for each passenger,
but are allowed the privilege of deducting
the commission on inland bookings, which
Is originally made to general agents.
