BERLIN, May 21.-The absorbing topic
of conversation In American society here is
the exclusion from the country of q Russian,
| Wesselitzka, director of the A(legemelne
CorreSpondez, for circulating alarming re-
ports concerning the health of the Sultan
OF Turkey. The Turkish ambassador had
several interviews with Chancellor Won ca
privi and insisted upon summary treatment
being meted out to the author of the reports.
M. WesselitzRa's wife, nee Monroe, is a
native of Central New York. She belongs
to good family. NJ WesselitEka and his
| wife, together with Mrs. Monroe and two
Of his wife'S sisters, lived IN fashionable
house in the Inter Den Linden. They en-
| tertained the cream OF the American colony.
Gen. Count ven Waldarsee aud the countess,
| who Is an American by birth. and many
| officers OF the guards were frequent guests
| of the VESSEL zkas. The police some time
ago suspected that NJ. Wesseitzka was en-
gagged in pan-Slavist intrigues, and an in-
| qulry into his antecel tents showed that he
has previously been expelled from Austrian
| territory for his close connection with the
insurgents In Bosnia at the time OF the
Austrian occupation. Prussian officials de-
clare now that he was scheming to destroy
the entente between Berlin and Constants
nople to the advantage of Russia. When the
| suspicious Of the police were confirmed the
visits of the Count and Countess Waldersee
ceased, and officers were forbidden to att
tend receptions given by the Wesselitzkas.
The family soon departed for Italy and
their house was closed. NJ. Wesselitzkae,
however remained in the city and con-
tlnued to associate with select circles. he
was under the protection of the Russian
embassy. When he received notice to leave
the country he appealed to Count Schau-
vaoff the. Russian ambassador, to inter
cede for him. The ambassador declared
that he could not interfere
REDISTRIBUTION OF THE SEATS.
The event Of the Landtag during the past
week was the announcement made by Herr
| Herrfurth, minister of the interior, that at
the next session the government would In"
troduce bill for redistribution OF the seats.
1t is generally conceded that it is triumph
for the pTogressists, who have carried on
an un easing agitation to secure redissribu-
tion. If the governments intentions are
honest they msy mean an important gain
in the progressist representation. Inc
representation of majority of the indus
trial centers, notably Berlin, is ridiculously
inadequate. When Prince Bismarck was
in power. he stubbornly resisted similar de-
mands. foreseeing that they would inevl
tably result to the advantage OF tho social
lists. Among those who questioned Herr Herr.
furth was Herr Richter. who asked
whether the government contemplated a
reyIsional franchise. Herr Herrturth
emphatically declared that under no cir
cumstances would the franchise be altered
The progressists, however, did not intend to
let the matter drop. They are organizing q

power OF the richer classes, while the
Freisinntge Zeitung leads an attack upon
the upper house of the Prussian
diet. In the course OF a trenchant
article that paper says it is impossible &c
reform the upper house and chat 1t must be
abolished. 1t only delays legislation. Its
talented members should be elected TO the
lower house, where their abilities could be
utilized. The movement has received pow
erful assistance by the vote of the diet oi
Baden calling upon the government to re-
wise the constitution and introduce direct
suffrage.
THE KAISER AND PRINCE BISMARCK.
Rumors of rapprochement between the
emperor and Prince Bismarck in conse-
queuce of the reported felicitous telegram
the emperor sent to Count Herbert Bis
marck on the occasion Of his betrothal TO
Countess Margaret Hoyos, daughter OF

This telegram was said to be as
follows: MANY thanks for your kind new
aud sincere congratulations upon your in,
gagemont 70 Countess Margaret Hoyos.
The stubborn natures of both the emperor
and Prince Bismarck indicate little chance
OF either yielding. Statements from re-
liable source throw doubt upon the alleged
congratulations, and declare that the tele.
gram could limo wise be calculated to lead
to an entente The mburger Nachrfchteia
in an article inspired by Prince Bismarck
absolutely denies the report of a rapproche
ment.
ITALY AND THE DBEIBUND.
An article by Prince Bismarck in The
same journal has provoked a storm of com
ments and is likely TO exercise an enormous
influence In Italy. 1t declares that Italy
should not be forced In her present financial
weakness to increase her military strength
| but she should be allowed to give
the dreibund what assistance she
can. The tenor of the article shows
that Prince Bismarck apprehends thai
unless the burdens are lightened strong
reaction of public opinion will occur IL
Italy. forcing King Humbert TO withdraw
from the dreibund. THE article afiirmt
that Italy's adherence to the drebund
mainly depends upon the protection she ex'
poets to receive from the British fleet in the
event of war with France. Prince Bis

where any reduction in Italys strength
will entail corresponding increase IN her
own army.
FRANCES GYaNAsTIC FETEs.
There is q strong feeling in Germany
against the fetes Of the French GymDestic
Society, which occur at Nancy in June.
The preparations for these fetes indicate
that they will take on an auti-German char
acter. Invitations have been sent Co all tec
European universities except those OF Ger
many. circular addressed to those IL
Alsace- Lorraine especially invites atten.
tion. in order to demonstrate that Nancy's
not Srasburg's university, is the true
Aisace-Lorraine institution. The event
takes an additional Importance owing Il
the fact that President Carnot will atte nc
the fetes, A letter published in the North
German Gazette points out the danger
of tho gathering OF exc table crowds
on the German frontier such a
Czech students, who are notoriously
hostile to Germany. Although the reported
resumption Of passport regulations to pre-
vent Alsatians from taking part in the fetes
Is untrue, yet there is little doubt that the
police OF Alsace- Lorraine will be careful Il
watch all who cross the frontier to attend
the fetes.

Government circles in Vienna aud Berlir
observe very cool attitude toward thu
