Republican convention at Minneapolis
was followed with the greatest interest
in political circles here. where 1t was
generally expected and hoped that Mr.,
Blaine would be successful, not because
Mr.. Blaine is liked, but because his sue
cess would have been regarded rs
partial rebuff to the Mckinley policy,
which German manufacturers are still
smarting under. All here are in sym
pathv with the Democrats. While the \
personal character OF President harrl-
son and the ability OF Nr. Reid are uni
versally conceded, little attempt is made
TO conceal the hope that they will he
beaten at tie polls. The leaders IN the
newspapers reflect the general feeling.
PRESS COMMENT.
The TagebiaH SAYS at is doubted
if the unity Of the Republican party will
again become fact. From the German
point of view we desire a Democratic
victory. President Harrison's reelection
means an increase of protectionism.
The National /cifUng says that
though the Republicans may remain
united the ticket j. not q strong one.
New York, which lives upon imports,
will defeat protectionist Harrison The
Dossische IeHUHg says: "Ihe main
result OF the nomination is tho unifica-
ton ana STRENGTHENING OF the Republic
cans. Ii is bad omen for European
interests in America that Mr.. Mckinley |
fathers Mr. Harrisons candidacy" The
B0rsen COMicr says Z" We are rid OF
Blaine, and hope that Cleveland will rid
us Of Harrison

Duke Constantine 10 Nancy nj tue eX-
press instruction OF toe CZer dispels
any idea that political importance can
be attached 10 the kiel meeting.
The cordial character OF his reception,
however, cannot fail 10 impress the Gar
with the fact that the Emperor desires
to maintain friendly relations with Rus
STA. The Emperors comforting the
honorary rank of German admiral on |
the Gar Il further proof of his desire
to show his kindly regard for him. The

sion. The only foreign royal personages

navy are King Oscar H., OF Sweden, and |
The Archduke Stephen, OF Austria; bat |
they 10 not hold a special rank.

Billie AND BIZ.
The papers are still occupied in dis
cuss-ng the prospects Of q reconciliation
| between Emperor William and Prince
| Bismarck. 4 rumOr has been nut IN
circulation 70 the effect that Prince Biz
marck would BIO made president Of the
| state Council, but there is little hkell-
hood that the ex Chancellor. even should

cent such an important post as the prcsl-
dencv OF tho state Council, which he
himself created in order 70 appoint
Crown Prince Frederick thereto and thus
remove tho Crown Prince from any IN

NIT to be treated in such an oil-hand
manner. Finally, message was sens
10 the Emperor with the information

Upon receiving this reply the Emperor
proceeded on his journey.

in Vienna, who have addressed a circu-
lar letter TO tho leading aristocrats of the
country urging them not 70 attend the
wedding on tho ground that the cere-
mony is to be performed in a Protestant
church, though the bride is a Catholic.
THE BERLIN EXPOSITION.
The proposal to hold an international
exhibition in Berlin in 1896 still has
many supporters, in spite OF the asser-
ton made in recent letter by Chancel-
lor Won Capriyi that the holding Of such
an exhibition Is out of the question.
