here today published less favorable REL

health. 1t was the intention of his FAM
lily and physicians to remove him to hist
home at FREDERICKSBURG yesterday; butt
the prince was not in condition to make
the journey. The Berlin papers quote
as confirmation of the report that the
prince is not doing so we'll as anticl-j
pated the urgent requests MADE by the |
Hamburger Nachrichten that the prince |
should not be the object of popular |
demonstrations or of private greetings
while on his homeward journey. Con-i
tiicting reports regarding the nature Of
the princes sickness are so many and
varied that it is useless to repeat them. |
Almost every correspondent has his
own theory as to the cause of Bis
marck's present illness, and as to the
exact condition of his health. The factl
remains that the great statesman is, on
the whole, in very poor health, and that.
while he has frequent rallies which give !
encouragement to his family and physi-
clans, there is no real gain in strengh,
and each attack of the neuralgia and
lnf1ammatory symptoms is said to be |
more severe than the previous one. FL

is undoubtedly diminishing under the
strain of his long illness. While the |
discussion regarding Prince Bismarck's
health continues, and the prospect of
reconciliation between the EXCHANGED

every day, the feeling of resentment
against France on account of her all
legged demonstrativeness in connection
with the visit of the Russian fleet to
Toulon has cropnsd up. 1t is claimed
that the military attaches of the powers
composing the dreibund have been
very much shown the cold shoulder by
the French officers, and, as retaliatory
measure, the military authorities here
propose to withdraw all German mill,
tary attaches from France, in order to
force the French government to with
draw its military attaches from Ger,
many, Austria and Italy. The German
authorities are said to be all the more
determined to take this step, as the
military attaches of the French embassy
here are said to have been keeping up a
REGULAR SPY SYSTEM
on the basis which France has always
accused Germany of adopting previous
to the war of 1S70-71. There are peo-
pie, however, who claim that the ''spy"
agitation is the work of the military
party in Germany, who anticipate oDpO- |
sition in parliament to the demands |
which will be made for ali increase in /
the army and navy expenditures. as
previously outlined in these dispatches. !
In any case, the military authorities are
making the most of the alleged insults
to German military attaches in France,
and of the alleged spying of French
military attaches in Europe. all of {
which goes still more TO confirm the
statement to the effect of the feeling Of |
irritation against France. and the lat.

edly before long things will focus to a |
point which may cause that long g-looked- !

eral contiagration seems to be approach, I,
ing more rapidly day by day. In fact,
there are people here who hint that
there may be serious riots in Paris and
else where in France upon the occasion
of the visit of the
RUSSIAN FLEET TO ToULON,
for it is said the 'fire-cracker partv''
in France is almost certain to make the
Russian visit the occasion for a demon
stration against the Germans and Ital-
ians, not to mention the English, against
which country the eXtra-demonstrative
class of Frenchmen claim to have we'll
founded cause for resentment. The
Russian government has anticipated
these possible riotous demonstrations
for some time past, and it is with the
object of trying to prevent them that
the cZar and his ambassador in Paris, +
Baron de Morenheim, have been throw
ing cold water upon inflammatory
France and warning President Carnot
and his advisers against the danger of
being too demonstrative. But all the
warnings in the world will not prevent
the French from making a tremendous
fuss over the Russian visit, and no
amount of argument Will convince the
French people, as whole. that the visit
of the Russian fleet TO Toulon is only
return visit, out of common courtesy,
for the visit of the French fleet to Cron-
stadt. Frenchmen in general insist that
the visit of the Russians is intended to
warn Europe that Russia will back
France up against her enemies, and
nothing will at present change that
opinion in France.
LONDON, Oct. "A dispatch to the
Times from Paris says municipal coun-
cilor at st. Denis, near Paris, proposed
that the council should vote the sum of
800, 600 francs as its share towards en-
tertaining the Russian visitors. The
proposition was defeated by vote of Is
to 4, the members of the council pro-
testing against honoring the czar, who,
they claim. annually sent many of their
friends to Siberia. There is strong
socialistic element in the council at st.
Denis.
LONDON, Oct. Especial dispatches
to the Standard from Paris say that the
French government has received an in
timation from the highest sources in
Russia that any manifestations which
could be construed as being hostile to
any foreign power will be viewed with
great disrleasure by the car.
