BERLIN, Jan. 16.--In the course of the
discussion in the Reichstsg to-day on the
| question of grant for German exhibit at
the Worlds Fair at Chicago, DR.. Won Rot
tenburg. Secretary to the Chancellor, said
! that, while a large number of manufacturers
in some trades, such as silk and leather,
would be represented at the fair, others,
notably the owners of iron works, had re-
fused to send exhibits.
This, DR.. Won Rottenburg said, was a
wrong policy, especially in view of the
! German interests in the South American
! trade, which trade the United States Gov
! ernment is aiming to obtain under reci-
! proci:v treaties as part of the principle of
the Monroe doctrine. German manufactur-
ers, he declared, would best consult their
! own interests by sending exhibits TO Chi
cago, where their products would be seen
by South American and other traders
throughout the world.
Defending the Mckinley Bill.
The i'll feeling against America on account
of the Mckinley bill is all wrong. Every
State has right to protect its own interests.
Other speakers took similar views, and the
| grant was passed unanimously.
The House then proceeded with the de-
bate on the budget DR.. Witte said he
hoped the Government would come to a de-
cision at an early date concerning the pro-
iected international exhibition in Berlin.
DR.. Won RQttenburg vaguely promised that
the Government would favor the organi-
zation of general exhibition. The nebuous
condition of the project prevented him from
making any moro definite response.
The industrial associations differ as to
whether the exhibition should be national
or international. Some in opposition to
any exhibit al all were naturally Indifferent.
The promoters of the international scheme
have been strengthened by the action OF the
Berlin Chamber OF Commerce in declaring
in favor of all international eX ibltion, TO
be held in 1896. Emperor William also sup
ports the international scheme, and. thus
reinforced, its promoters lock forward with
confidence to.Bcriin succeeding Chicago as
the place Of holding Worlds Fair.
Not 70 Conflict u iih the Chicago Fair.
The date first proposed for holding the
exhibition. 1894, was considered to encroach
upon Chicsco's date, and it is believed that
1896, 'hc date now proposed. will allow of
IIe ial'S" OF u p'HteHt lnletNUi.
The Foreign Office here expects a crisis
shortly that will probably lead to war be-
tween Servia and Bulgaria, but no fear is
entertained Of active Russian intervention.
The Bulgarian Government considers the
time opportune for bringing the differences
between Bulgaria and Servia to a climax,
so it has opened the ball again by notifying
Servia that 1t will no longer permit the
gathering of Bulgarian refugees in the
frontier forts at Pierot, Nisch and Velika
Piana. NJ Stabuloti the bulgarian Prime
Minister, in,in,aiea 20 the GERMAN and
Austrian GoverpmeRts the necessity of Bal
gsria taking military measures on the
frontier to protect the country from sudden
attack. The Austrian agent at Belgrade
warned the Government that Servia would
be held responsible for breaking the peace
of Europe unless the demands of NJ. Sta
buloff were conceded.
Scrvia's Ersronse Unsatisfactory.
The reply of the Servian Government
offers TO eIpel the refugees if it is proved
that they are consDiring to make a raid
upon Bulgaria. This response is held to be
unsatisfactory, and Bulgarian preparations
are being accelerated The best chance of
preserving the peace lies in the weakened
state Of Russia. which is causing Servia to
disband and dispel from the country groups
of Russo Bulgarians still supported by
Russian money.
Tine deficit in the Prussian budget an
nounced yesterday by DR.. Miguel, Minister
of Finance, TO the Landtag, is chiefly due
to the State railway account, in which there
is a deficit of 42,000,00 marks below the
estimated returns. DIR. Miguel proposes to
enforce stricter economy in the railway adj
ministraLion, and less money will be spent
on public buildings. He, also, hopes
through the new income tax to increase the
