BERLIN, Jan. 16.-In tho course OF q dis
cussion in the reichstag to-day on the ques'
tion of q grant for q German exhiht At tue
Chicago Columbian exposition In 1873, Dr'
Won Rottenburg, secretary to the ohaneei'
lor, said while a large numbsr OF snuia
turers in some trades, such 40 the SILK AND
leather trade, would DO represented at the
fair, Others, notably the owners of iron
works, refused to send exhibits. This, DE-.
Won Rottenburg said, was . wrong policy,
especially in view Of German interests III
South American trade. which trade the
United States is now scheming to obtain
under reciprocity treaties, a. part q the
principles Of the Monroe doctrine. Ger
man manufacturers. he declared, wouia
best consult their own interests by sendlng
exhibits to Chicago where their products
would be oeen by South American and
other traders throughout the world. The
ill feeling entertained against America on
account of the Mckinley bill! is all WRONG.
Every state had the right to protect its "
interests. Other speakers took similar
views and the grant passed unanimously.
The house then proceeded with de-
bate on the budget. DR.. Lite said
he hoped the government would
come to . decision at an early date con-
corning the projected international exhibit
at Berlin. DR.. Van Rottenburg vaguely
promised that the government would favor
the organization of O general exhibition.
There is much talk Of an international ex-
position in Berlin in 1892.
The foreign Office expects a crisis shortly
that will probably lead to war between Ser
via and Bulgaria, but no fear is entertained
of active Russian intervention. The Bull
psrian government considers the time OPP
perfume for bringing the differences be-
tween Bulgaria and Seryia to Il climax. SO
ii has opened the agitation by notifying
Servia Il win no longer permit the gather
ing of Bulgarian refugees in frontier forts.
Stanbulof, Bulgarian prime minister, mas
animated to the German and Austrian gov
ernments the necessity Of Bulgaria taking
military measures on the frontier 70 pro
tect the country from sudden attack. The
best chance of preserving peace lies IN the
weakened condition OF RuRsla.
The deficit of the Prussian budget is
chiefly to the state railway account. in
which there is a deficit of 4S,000,O0 0 marks
below the estimated returns. Miguel pro-
poses to enforce the s~trictest economy in
the railway administration, ana less money
will be spent on public buildings. He also
hopes through the new income tax to in
crease the revenues seven millionso OF marks.
Rigid economy is now extending to all de-
partments depending on the finance minis
try. Workmen who have been discharged
from the railways and a large number OF
other men, suffering through the limitation
of expenditures, are making an outcry. but
amaiority of the members OF the landtas
support the minister OF finance:
Minister Seedlirz' education bill has beer
presented to the landtag. and confirm the
fears Of the freisinnige party, as sxten d.
ing clerical control of tho schools. The
centrist section and the conservatives vel
come the measure, and there is strong prob
ability it will pass.
The note of the Swiss government re-
iecting French proposals. for a commercial
treaty, says that France, while asking COR
cessions similar to those Switzerland has
accorded Germany and Austria, ignores
what those countries accorded in return.
The collapse of the printers strike is
absolute. This is partly due to the influx
of a thousand foreign compositors. The
loss to the strikers amounts to over 10000
marks, while the total to men and masters
is over 10000 0 marks.
Tbs American legation is busy with the
military cases of Gernan-Americans who
have got into trouble by returnicg to this
country. The men ought to understand
that all of them leaving Germany. after
having been recruited, are liable to fine and
imprisonment.
