HARD FIGHT FOR THR CHANCELLOR.
Ii is sGlaitted generally that the fight
/ is hard one for the chancellor. He has
few strong friends SDd host Of power
fUl enemies. The agrarian members of
I the Russian treaty comQlttee, finding the
E chancellor Unyleldtng, have abandoned
the attitude of uncoupromiSiug Opposi-
tiOn 20 the treaty and have offered to as
sent 70 a reduction of the import duties on
Russian grain on condition that il shall
not be less than ) marks per Centimeter
also that the duty shall be raised as the
value of the rouble falls, and lowered as
the rou0le rises. Obviously, such an ar
ranEemenc would open the way to wild
speculation in rOuble notes. That the
aSrarlans viii COnce2e even that small
amount indicates u sign of weakness in
their position.
RUSsIA AZ NICE.
Gen. Vouf Werder, the German embas
SaGOr to Russia. who is returning from a
three-weeks' soloUrn in Wiesbaden TO his
official post, had an audience with the
emperor in POtSdam yesterday. The
meeting could hardly have been agreeable
emperor aQd Caprivi concerning the
I cars instructions to Baron Horenhein
and Admiral Ayelan, before the French
fetes, Nothing could have been more ex
pliCit than the cars assurance that he
did not desire TO encourage French dem
/ OuStrGtiOn. It was expected in Berlin
/ that possibly the French fervor would in
fest the Russians, perhaps even the car
but matters have gone further Ii is
significant that since the cars visit
10 the French cruiser Isly, of
Copenhagen, the Russian press has beer
allowed to run riOt in the matter oI
RUsSO-F'rench relations. On Friday, foi
instance. the Moscow Gazette pro
claimed that hencefOrth France and Rus
Sia would 90 hand in hand and shoulder

would remain allies forever, defying the
