tilities With Servia-Collapse of the
German Printers Strike:
BERLIN, Jan. 16.-[Copyrighted by
the New York Associated Press. 1.-The
discussion today in the reichstag
was on the question of a grant
for a German exhibit at the
Chicago Columbian exposition in
1898. DR.. Won Rottenburg, secretary to
the chancellor, said while large num-
ber of manufacturers in some trades,
such as the silk and leather trades, will
be represented at the fair, others,
notably the owners of iron works, re-
fused to send exhibits. This Won Rot
tenberg said was a wrong policy, es-
pecially in view of German interests in
the South American trade, which trade
the United States was now seeking to
obtain by means of reciprocity treaties
as part OF the principles of the Monroe
doctrine. German manufacturers, he
declared, would best consult their own
interests by sending exhibits to
Chicago where their products would be
seen by South American and other
traders throughout the world. The i'll
feeling entertained against America on
account of the Mckinley bill was all
wrong; every state had right to pro-
tect its own interests. Other speakers
took similar views, and the grant was
passed unanimously.
DEBATE ON THE BUDGET.
The house then proceeded with de-
bate on the budget DR.. White said he
hoped the government would come to a
decision at an early date concerning the
projected international exhibit at Ber-
ised that the government would favor
the organization of general exposition.
There is much talk OF an international
exposition at Berlin in '94.
THE BULGARIAN CRISIS.
The foreign Office expects crisis
shortly that will probably lead to war
between Servia and Bulgaria, but no
fear is entertained of active Russian in
tervention. The Bulgarian government
considers the time opportune for bring
ing the differences between Bulgaria
and Servia to climax. So it has opened
the controversy again, by informing
Servia that it will no longer permit the
gathering of Bulgarian refugees on the
frontier in forts. Stambuloff, Bulgarian
prime minister, intimates to the Ger
man and Austrian governments the
necessity of Bulgaria taking military
measures on the frontier to protect the
country from sudden attack. The last
chance of preserving peace lies in the
weakened condition of Russia.
THE PRUssIAN BUDGET.
The deficit in the Prussian budget is
chiefly due to the state railway account,
in which there is deficit of 100000
marks below the estimated returns.
MIGUEL proposes to endorse stricter
economy in railway administration, and
less money will be spent on public
buildings. He also hopes through the
new income tax an increase of revenues
of Z, 100000 marks. The rigid economy
now extending to all departments is de-
pending on the finance ministry. The
workmen who have been discharged
from the railways, and large number
of other men suffering through the linn
itation OF expenditures, are making an
outcry, but the majority of the members

THE EDUCATION BILL.
Minister Zedlitz's education bill has
been presented to the landtag, and con-
firms the worst fears OF the Freisinnige
party, as extending the clerical control
of schools. The Centrist section and
the Conservatives welcome the measure,
and there is strong probability that it
will pass.
FRENCH PROPOSALS REJECTED.
The note of the Swiss government re-
jecting the French proposals for COM
mercial treaty, says France, while ask
ing concessions similar to those Switzer-
land accorded Germany and Austria, ig-
nores what those countries accorded in
return.
COLLAPSE OF TILE PRINTERS STRIKE.
The collapse Of the printers strike is
absolute. This is partly due to the in
fux of thousands of foreign compositors.
The loss to the strikers amounts to $780,
600 marks, while the total to the men
and masters is over 100000 marks.
aERMAN-AMERlcANs IN TROUBLE.
The American legation is busy with
military cases of German-Americans
who have got into trouble by returning
to this country. These men ought to
understand that all OF them leaving
Germany after having been recruited
are liable to fine and imprisonment.
