BISMARCK AID THE EMPEROR.
The latest phase of the controversy that |
ha. arisen over the reports OF recOncllia- |
ton between the Emperor and Prince BIS !
marck disclOses the hollOwness or the !
whole affair. The lIcs Demsele ANeg,meins |
Z,lhulq. Bismarck's new organ IN Cologne, |
denies that any Oyertures looking % re- |
cancellation have been made By either SIDE. /
Ii says that Baron Stumu, after the hm- !
peror visited him. was the guest OF Prince !
Bismarck Tho Baron communicated 10 |
the Prince certain remarks that had been |
made by the Emperor dlsapproving the |
tone of certain scmi-Oificial papers to- |
wards to the ex-Chancellor. Nothing more |
was said, except that Baron Stumm seems |
10 have suggested that Prince bismarck |
take the initiative IN seeking % re-estaO- |
lsh o rdDpTOcteueat by making some form |
of apology 20 the Emperor. On this |
point. adds the paper, Prince bismarck |
cannot admit, even If the admission |
| led to his reinstatement IN Office |
ever trying TO do wrong TO the |
Emperor. Ii ~ the Princes enemies who |
ought 10 ask pardon before the Emperor
and the country. The internal history OF
| the events which led 10 Prince Bismarck's
| retirement from the chanceilOrshlp cannot
| be revealed now, but all precautions have
been taken 10 prevent tho future from
passing incorrect Judgment. For q long
! time 10 come these recurrent rlmors OF 4
reconciliation between the Emperor and
Prince Bismarck Will be heard.
A SMALL PROCEEDING.
The official animus against Prince Bis
marck has led the Dresden authorities 20
attempt to curtail the reception fe'eS pro-
posed 10 be gwen IN his honor tonight
when he arrives IN that city en route tor
| Vienna. and the Vienna police Will try To
| make the demonstration there abOrtiye.
4 majority of the Dresden municipality
voted to extend an official welcome TO
| Prince Bismarck as an honorary citizen.
| A torch-hght procession has been organized
to receive the Prince. 10 Will be headed
| bv the municipal officers and viii comprise
every prominent Dresden society. Tue
procession will be % splendid pageant,
| ~ coo persons taking part.
| The NiederWaid. German society IN
| Vienna, proposed giving the Prince an
| ovation at the station, but the ponce re-
| fused TO grant permission. The members
OF the society thereupOn made arrange
ments - hold a larger demonstration out
side the station. A gigantic procession
will accompany the Prince 10 the Palace
Patty. where he will stay during his So
journ in Vienna.
| THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.
The government is watching with the
| keenest interest the developments of the
| approaching elections IN England. Its
| sympatnies are altogether with the Con-
| servatives "a 1t is known that the advent
| of Mr.. Gladstone 10 power would be dl-
| rectly against the interest OF the Drei-
| bund. King Humbert Is especially con-
cerned. as aGladstonaE victory would inn
peril the entente with Lord Salisbury on the
cooperation of the English and Italian
| fleets against France under certain contin-
| gencles.
LABOR OPPRESSION.
| Official statistics collected by the trade
|
have created bad impression as 10 the
condition Of workngmen. Out Of the 906
! towns reporting only have recorded any
rise in wages during the year 1891, while
22J reported that wages had been low
cred. At the same time the prices
| of tho necessarles of life have in
creased. Some employers are taking
advantage of the depression 10 pay their
| hands in instruments. or even In bills of ex-
change The depression Is worse In the
large centres. In Berlin, Breslau, Essen, and
| Lelpsic the leading trades are complaining
that the men are often put on short time.
Reports from the miners associations
unanimously affirm that the men cannot
under the existing circumstances earn
enough 10 support themselves and their
families. The statistics will be powerful
weapon for the Socialist propaganda. The
| extremists are already exercised over them.
| Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader has
returned from his tour IN England. lie
| spoke az q meeting at CharlOtteu burg. a
suburb of Berlin, and in his speech he
! contrasted the position OF English and
German workmen. At the same time he
denounced the revolutionary lmpatlence
of the extremists and urged that revolt
tions OF tho old STYLE We're impossible
The Socialists, he said must first seek 70
win over the masses. That achieved they
would be able 10 pass from the defensive
/
predict when that change IN tactics would
occur.
BIGELow's BAD LUCK.
The expulsion OF Poultney Bigelow from
| RUSSIA j. now said 10 have been due 10 bis
last book, William the Second and HIS
Eastern Neighbors." The Emperor must
have mad an inkling of the coming event.
for in conyersing with a friend OF Blge-
lows on the latter's intended trip 10 Rus
STA he said that Bigelow had better look
out"
Bigelow, writing from Trakesnen. the
Euperor's great stud farm, says: "Our
canoes were confiscated by the Russians IN
the most brutal way. Is this our reward
for four loads OF wheat? We are now
| obliged to abandon our trip"
Blgelow's bad luck has not deferred
other American journalists from attempt
ing tours IN Russia. III. VI. Johnson, of
Baltimore. is about to start for Moscow
and ST. Petersburg.
