Berlin, Oct. S.-Before leaving Kiss
ingen yesterday, Prince Bismarck re-
ceived a dispatch from King Humbert of
Italy, Offering him for a winter residence
the royal castle at Capo di Monte, near
Naples. Prince Bismarck, although de-
clining the offer, expressed himself
as greatly touched by the kings
kindness. 1t is understood that the re-
ply to the kings message left the way
open to his future acceptance of the royal
hospitality. Prince Bismarck's daunt-
less resolution to get well, and his de-
termination not to submit to the treat
ment awarded to dying man, are his
motives for refusing unusual favors from
any quarter.
HIS CONDITION CONCEALED.
Just what his condition is, it is difficult
to learn. The reports from day to day
are entirely contradictory. Some of his
old friends have ascertained, however,
that he is again taking keen interest in
public affairs. In Kissingen, during
last week he dictated communications,
which have reached Herr Won Benning
sen, leader of the national liberals; Baron
Wangenheim, leader of the Agrarian
league, and several other politicians.
Probably some of these communications
were answers to inquiries as to his health.
Others are known to have bearing upon
impending political developments.
THE COMING SESSION.
The changes in the field of government
might well arouse interest, even in
dying man. The coming session of the
reichstag promises to test the frmness of
Chancellor Caprivi's character more than
the last one. A strong influence against
the government is the concession to DR.
Miquel's scheme for tobacco and wines.
This may be enough to upset
the whole project of financial re
lated to produce revenue of
40, 100000 marks. 1t was denounced by
the official delegates to the financial con-
ference as sure to prove absolutely ruin
GUS to the German tobacco industry.
This condemnation in advance has al
ready moved Herr MIGUEL to revise the
scheme which, even in its modified form
will prove conflict. The next gri ev-
ance of the opposition will be the new
naval credits, which are estimated at So
100000 marks.
HOSTILE MANIFESTO
A manifesto, issued and signed by
Baron Wangenheim of the Agrarian
league, says: although the Agrarians
supported Count Won Caprivi on the mill
tary question, they recognize his incom-
potency to deal with vital economic
questions" The truth ought to be told
the emperor that the Agrarians mean, if
possible to end Count Won Caprivi's
bureaucratic regime. The price demanded
by the Agrarians for their continued sup
port of the government is the abandon
ment of commercial negotiations with
Russia and the reduction of the conces-
sions to Austria Hungary
The imperial court will leave Potsdam
for Berlin early in December. Society
here is expecting winter of unprece-
dented gayety.
CAVALRY CAMPAIGNS.
The committee of cavalry umpires met
here Friday with Gen. krOSigk presiding.
There was an animated discussion of the
recent maneuvers which will lead to
a notable change in cavalry drills. 1t
was agreed that raiding the enemy's coun-
try in the American style would
not work, as the troops could be cut
off too easily from their base of
operations. The committee will prepare
a report reforming the drill regula-
tions. Another military reform now un-
der discussion is the completion of a sys-
TEN of strategetic canals, connecting the
Rhine, Ems, Elbe and Odor.
Boats on these canals will be able to
carry ammunition, war materials,
wounded prisoners, etc, by way of the
rivers to Berlin. The canals will be more
easily defended and less easily damaged
than heretofore, and can be made to ia
cilitate military operations.
