| BsnLix, January 16.--The Foreign Once
! here expects crisis shortly that will
probably lead TO war between Servia and
Bulgaria, but no fear 10 entertained OF ac-
| tive Russian Intervention. The Bulgarian
Government considers the time opportune
for bringing the differences between Bull
garia and Servia TO climax. So it has
opened again by notifying Servis that It
will no longer permit the gathering OF
Bulgarian refugees in the frontier forts at
Prot, Nisch. and veliks Plana.
M. Stambuloff, the Bulgarian Prime
| Minister. intimated to the German and
| Austrian Governments the necessity OF
Bulgaria taking military measures on the
frontier to protect the country from sud-
den attack.
| sERvIA HELD REsPoSsrBLE.
The Austrian agent at Belgrade warned
the Government that Servia would be held
responsible for breaking the. peace OF
Europe unless the, demands OF N. STAMP
| loft we're complied with. The reply OF the
Servian Government offers to expel the
refugees if it is proved that they are con-
spring to make q raid upon Bulgaria
| This response Is held to be unsatisfactory.
| and the Bulgarian preparations are being
| accelerated. The best chance of preserving
peace lies in the weakened state OF Russia;
which Is causing Servia to disband and
expel from the country groups OF Russo
Bulgars still supported by Russian money
pRussfA's DEFICIT.
| The deficit in the Prussian budget an
nounced yesterday by DR.. Miguel, Minister
| of Finance, to the Landtag. IS chiefly due
| to the State railways account, in which
there is deficit of AZ, 0OO. 900 marks below
/ the estimated returns. DR.. MIGUEL pro-
poses to enforce stricter economy in the
| railway administration, and less money
| will be spent on public buildings. he also
hopes through the new income tax to IN.
| crease the revenue 100000 marks. The
| disclosure of the bad financial situation
has mado disagreeable impression. DIR.
MIGUEL is not blamed except by the oppo-
nents of his system. Rigid econo-
nv is being extended to all departments
| depending upon the finance ministry. The
workmen who have been discharged from
| the railways. and large number of other
men who are suffering through the limita-
1 ton of expenditures. are making an
outcry, but O majority OF the members OF
| the Landtag support the Minister OF FL
| nance, whose intense business ACTIVITY.
foresight and financial dexterity can De
relied upon to make the national account
balance.
TIE CLERICAL CONTROL OF SCHOOLS.
Minister Zedlitzs education bill has
| been presented to the Landtag and con-
| firms the worst fears of the Freissenig 9
party as to extending the clerical control
| of the schools. The Centrist section and
| the Conservatives welcome the measure,
and there is a strong probability that 1t
will pass The Krez Zeitung says that the
| Centre party and the orthodox Protestants
cannot wish for better bill.
COLLAPSE OF THE PRINTERS STRIKE.
The collapse Of the printers strike is
| absolute. This was partly due to the in
| fiux of q thousand foreign compositors.
| The loss to the strikers amounts to 1901 600
| marks, while the total to men and masters
is over 100000.
GERMAN EXHIBIT AT CHICAGO.
In the course of q discussion in the
Reichstag to-day on the question OF q
| grant for German exhibit at the Column
| bIan Exposition in 1898, DR.. Won Rotten;
| burg, Secretary to the Chancellor, said
| that while large number of manufactu-
rers in some trades. such as the silk and
| leather trades, would be represented at the
| fair, others-notably the owners o. from
works-had refused to send exhibits.
| This, DIR. Rotenburg said, was wrong
policy, especially in view OF German
| interests in the South American trade,
which trade the UnIteo States Government
is aiming to obtain under reciprocity trea-
ties as part of the principles OF the Mon
roe doctrine. German manufacturers, be
declared would best consult their own in
terests by sending exhibits to Chicago,
where their products would be seen by
South American and other traders through
out the world. The ill-feeling entertained
against America on account OF the Mckin-
lev bill was all wrong. Every State mad
right toprotect its own interests; Other
speakers took similar views, and the grant
was passed unanimously.
An INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION AT BERLIN.
The House then proceeded with the de-
bate on the budget. DR.. Witte SAID be
hoped the Government would come to O
decision at an early date concerning the
projected international exhibition in Ber-
fin. DIR. Won Rotenburg vaguely promised
that the Government would favor the or
panization of a general exhibition. The
nebulous condition of the project prevent
ed him from making any more definite re-
Spouse. The industrial associations differ as
to whether the exhibition should be nation
al or international Some oppose any exhi-
biton at all, while others are totally in
different. The promoters OF the interpa-
tional scheme have been strengthened by
the action of the Berlin Chamber OF CON-
MERGE in declaring in favor OF an lnterna-
tional exhibition to be held in 1895. En-
peror William also supports the interna-
tional scheme, and thus reinforced, its pro-
moters look forward with confidence to
Berlin succeeding Chicago as the place OF
holding worlds fair. The date hrst pro-
posed for holding the exhibition-lS94-
was considered to encroach upon Chicago's
date. and it is believed that 1896, the date
now proposed, will allow Of the lapse Of
longer interval.
SWITZERLAND AND WAR TARIFFS.
The note of the Swiss Government re.
jecting the French proposals for CONNER
cial treaty says that France. while asking
concessions similar to those which Switzer-
land has accorded Germany and Austria,
ignores what those countries have accord
ed in return. France. the note says, only
offers the minimum rate of prohibitlve
tariff on Swiss products. In the note,
Switzerland gives France time to modify
her attitude in regard to the minimum
tariff. Switzerland PLEASANTLY confirms
the official expectations here that France
will not be able TO conclude the treaties
which she requires to face the general war
tariffs in Europe.
OF INTEREST TO dRRMAN-AMERIoANs.
The United States Legation Is busy with
the military cases of German-American
who have got into trouble by returning to
this country. These men ought to under
stand that ell of them leaving Germany
after having been recruited are liable to
fine and Imprisonment. Only those emf
grating before becoming Miiitarpfichhg can
return for q short time without being mo-
Tested.
