BERLIN, June 1.-THE course OF the
Republican Convention at Minneapolis
was followed by the greatest In
terest In political circles here,
where it was generally expected
and hoped that Mr.. Blaine would be
successful, not because that Mr.. Blaine
was liked, but because his success
would have been regarded rs = partial
rebuff to the Mckinley policy, which
German manufacturers are sill smart
ing under.
All here are In sympathy with the
Democrats. While the personal charac-
ter OF President Harrison and the aoili-
ty OF Mr.. Reid are universally conceded,
little attempt Is made 10 conceal the
hope that they will be beaten at the
polls.
The leaders in the newspapers reflect
the general feeling. The Tdgebidtt says;
at is doubted II the unity OF the Re-
publican party will again become fact.
From the German point OF view we
desire Democratic victory. President
Harrison's reelection means an increase
OF protectienism."
The National ZcitnnG says that
though the Republicans may remain
united the ticket Is not strong one.
New York which lives upon imports
will defeat projection and Harrison.
The Borsen Courier says: ave are rid
OF Blaine and hope that Cleveland will
rid us of Harrison"
The meeting between the Czar and
Emperor William at Kiel has been the
leading topic Of conversation during the
week.
The comments OF the newspapers here
show that II Is generally felt that there
is little reason for congratulation over
the result OF the meeting which
had too much the appear
ance OF the Emperor running after
the Car while the ostentacious visit or
the Grand Duke Constantine to Nancy
at the express instructions OF the Car
dispelled the idea that political import
ance can be attached to the klel meet
ing.
The papers are still occupied In
discussing the prospects Of reconcilia-
tion between Emperor William and
Prince Bismarck. A rumor has been
in circulation 10 the effect that
Prince Bismarck would be made Presi-
dent OF the State Council, but there is
little likelihood that the ex-Chancellor,
even should reconciliation be effected,
would accept such an unimportant post
as the Presidency OF the state coun-
ell, which he himself created
in order 20 appoint Crown Prince
Frederick thereto and thus remove the
Crown Prince from any influence in
active politics.
An extraordinary story has recently
been circulated to the effect that the
Emperor, while passing through Freid-
richsruhe, on recent journey ordered
the train on which he was travelling
TO be stopped and sent mess
sage 10 Prince Bismarck requesting him
TO come to the train, as he desired 70
speak with him. Prince bismarck de-
cided 10 90, but was dissuaded from
doing so by HIS wife and Count Her
bert Bismarck, who insisted that he
ought not 10 submit 10 be treated In
such an OR-hand manner. Finally =
message was sent 70 the Emperor with
the information that Prince Bismarck
wasunable TO comply with His Majesty's
reouest. Upon receiving this informa-
tlon the Emperor proceeded on his
| journey.
Prince Bismarck viii attend the we'd
ding of his son, Count Herbert and the
| Countess Margaret Hoyos, which Is TO
take place at the Evangelical Church al
Vienna on June 2i.
Count Herbert and his hancc are much
paIned at the action Of q set OF bigoted
Catholics in Vienna wSo have address
ed a circular letter TO the lead
ing aristocrats OF the country, urgiog
them not 10 attend the wedding, on the
ground that the ceremony = 70 be hold
