berlin, Aug. G.-Prince Bismarck stud
led avoidance Of any open reference to the
governments policy in the brief speech he
delivered upon his arrival to-day, is a
source of great relief to the official mind,
which had been filled with forebodinRs that
tho prince will renew his attacks. Since
his notable speech at Jann he has been made
to feel official resentment in various petty
ways. The different railway stations in Prus-
sia where the prince was expected to pass
had been virtually. closed to the public. At
Halle, whore he had to alight to change
trains. the railway officials refused to ad-
nit any one to the platform, and asked the
prince to leave the car and stay in the wait
ing room until the train was ready to pro-
Deed. Similar isolation was attempted
here, but the officials did not dare to face
public wrath by further acts of insolenoe
towards the ex-chancellor. The ovations
in his honor by the people have become
warmer, owing to public indignation over
his bad treatment.
1t has transpired that the government
trend to influence the grand duke of
SAKE Weimar to order the m unicipal aut thor
tiles or Jena and the chiefs of the universi-
ty to refuse the prince public reception.
Professor Haeckel. however, personally
saw the grand duke. The National Zeit-
une and other national liberal organs right
ly boast of the revival of Prince Bismarck 8
influence and proclaim him still to be the
greatest ruling personality in Germany,
even though he il never again invested in
office.
Herr Herrfurth, Prussian minister of the
interior, delays his formal resignation until
the return Of Emperor William, but his
withdrawal is a practical fact. Herr Helm,
president of the imperial board of railways,
| also intends to resign. This rupture in the
ministry is due to majority Of the mem
financial reforms. MIGUEL proposes to re-
linquish taxation by the state of real es-
tate and mines, permitting the communes
to levy such taxes for their administrative
! expenses. He would meet the shortage on
the state budget resulting from the loss Of
taxes on real estate by an increased income
tax, and levylnR tax on funded property.

launched to-day at Kiel.
The announcement that treaty of COM
merce has been concluded between Ger

the subject of congratulations by tho COM
merc cial press as a Gei man success against
the fiscal policy of the United States. The
| United States of Colombia sends this coun-

tures. The total annual value is not great
but the treaty ia hailed with favor as a hit
at the United States Pan-American prin-
ciple.
