the anti-grain law agitation isnon-existent,
unless food riots occur, and to issue a lot
terry amounting to 5000, 900 marks, and to

with French leanings enormously state that
the government ut Berne has its hands tied
by the new tariff adopted by the vote OF the
federal assembly. The negotiations which
have thus far been concluded have disposed
If this objection, each oountry's tariff being
subject TO re-arrangemsnt by the
coming conference Of the countries inter-
ested IN the dreibund. The zollverein, it
seems likely, will expedite customs agree
ment with Belgium and Holland, which
Luxembourg will share. Communications
proceeding from Brussels and the Hague
tend in that direction.
THE GRAIN LAWS.
Regarding the grain laws agitation. the
assumed Indifference of the ministers does
not lessen the public ferment, and
symptoms Of popular outbreak in cou-
sequence Of the high price Of provisions
have manifested themselves at several
places. Within a short distance of the i'm
perial palace at Potsdam 1000 women who
were marketing, becoming enraged at the
price demanded for potatoes, assaulted the
dealers end wrecked the market.

These statements appearing simultane-
ousiy with the, Bismarckian articles in the
Hamburger Ndchrichten. enlarging upon
the danger of too close friendship with
England as offensive TO Russia, have evoked
indignant replies from the semi-official
press, in which the Salisbury government
Is openly spoken Of as an

bund.

Reference made to letters from Rome re-
garding the candi6ature of Cardinal

clave will be Cardinal Gibbons of the arch
