be introduced BY the anti-Semitics in the
| Reichstag, to the effect that no manufact.
urer of war materials in Germany be allowed
to supply the same to anti-fOreign powers.
Such measure will overshoot the mark, as
1t would infict an immense loss of trade on
| Krupp and other makers of big guns OF
small arms. The bill will be undoubtedly
defeated. 1t will, however, afford the anti
Semitic deputies rare opportunity to keen
the Loewe matter before the country, ard
thus serve the purposes of the Conservative
\ anti-Semitics.
The breach in the Conservative party has
been widened beyond the hope of repair by
the anti-Semitic resolutions of the party
conference. The independent Conserva-
tives have cut loose from the old organiza-
tion, and with 21 deputies under the leader
| ship of Freiherr Won Helldorf, have come
out formally as party which will go its
own way with the same claims to recog-
milton as the Clericals or National Liberals
The principal declarations of the new
party's platform favor religious education
in the public schools and opposition to
social Democratic doctri ne, both in and out
| of Parliament,
Bismarck's Garrulity Denounced.
Prince Bismarck's garrulity in the soci-
has ELECTED some severe newspaper COM
ments from the German press. The National
ZeitlHlg finds especially reprehensible his
statement that Germany might best relin-
quish to France all Africa between Tunls
and the Kongo. Such a course, says the
National, would merely embitter the rela-
tions between France and Italy, to the lat
ter's disadvantage, without bringing auy
benefit to Germany. The Hamburger Mach
Ticiten, for Prince Bismarck, ridicules this
view of the situation, and asks why Ger
many should consider it her duty to i'm
prove the relations between France and
Italy. 1t would be clearly to Germany's
advantage, the inspired editor adds, to give
France plenty to do in Africa, and thus
probably divert her thoughts from Alsace
and Lorraine. 1t would not matter but
toms worth whether France and Italy were
estranged or not, in consequences OF such a
course, for Germany was under no obllga-
tion to help Italy in case Of trouble IN
Africa. On the other hand, an Anglo
African understanding would be OF great
advantage to Germany.
Cutting CynicIsm of the Iron Prince.
The Government is especially irritated by
the cynicism with which Bismarck refers to
Germany's readiness to abandon Italy to her
fate in q war with France over an African
question. At the present time, especially,
when the Triple Alliance is attacked daily
by Italians who we're formerly its friends,
Bismarck's words, the Government fears,
will have an exceptionally unfortunate in
huenee
Men of the ex-Chancellor's immediate en-
tourage believe, as usual, that he opened his
mouth only to tell the Foreign Office val
uable diplomatic truths. They say that

with Italy by giving her strong foothold
in Africa, possibly Tunis.
French statesmen are said to believe that
within generation Italy will be repub-
lie, in sympathy with the Church of Rome,
and natural ally of France and Russia
Bismarck's utterances are supposed to show
that he shares this view.
Switzerland's course in resisting Frances
bullying in the commercial negotiations be-
tween the two countries is supposed to be
supplied from the German Foreign Office.
The prospect is that tariff war will begin
with the new year, as Swiss pride is thor
oughly aroused against the action of the
French Government. Such a war would
be boon to German and Italian trade.
ABig Steamship Probably Lost ..
All hope of the Bremen steamship
Peiho, long overdue, has been abandoned
She carried q 1ull crew ana cargo, also the
captain s wife, who was taking q wedding
trip around the world The Peiho sailed
from Brazilian port, and was last spoken
in the neighborhood of large iceberg. The
most OF her crew were residents of Bremen.
A dispatch from Bremen says that the
negotiations between the North German
LLOYD and the owners of the steamship
Lake Huron are very near an agreement as
to the salvage for the rescue of the steam
ship Spree.

Jury for the German department of the
Chicago Far are on exhibition tor O few
days in the Dusseldorf Art Hall
The latest emigration reports contain
some disagreeable surprises for the Ham
burg steamship people. In November 6. 724
emigrants sailed from Bremen against 2, 293
from Hamburg. In the last IL months 49,
$40 have sailed from Bremen and 1u5, 1888
have sailed from Hamburg In view of the
of cholera in Hamburg the
advantage held by the Bremen people is
likely to increase still more rapidly, IN case
the new immigration regulations of the
United States do not cut off the steerage
business entirely.
