g Berlin, December 24.-Since the COM
mercial treaties with Roumania, Spain
and Servia were passed, Chancellor Won
Caprivi has protessed to be tired Of his
Office and willing to resign Immediately
after the passing of the treaty with
Russia. The statement that he has told
the Emperor Of his desire to retire is
heard daily in high official circles. By
the public it is taken with grain of
salt. The conservative agitation against
the chancellor is more energetic than
ever. His old Prussian associates are
especially .bitter. Count Bothozu
Eulen burg, Prussian Premier, having
found This intrigues thwarted by the
Emperor's influence or prejudice, has
gone over to the chancellor's side COM
pletely in the last few days. Hence
Eulenburg's circular ordering high
Prussian officials, whom he tacitly per-
mitted during the last days of the
Landtag elections to oppose the govern
ment, to stop their obstructive tactics.
1t is an open secret that the Chancellor
made an explicit statement at the
Prussian cabinet council last week con-
cerning the effect of ulenburg's policy
in hampering imperial affairs. 1t is
the general belief among the officials
that the vote of the cabinet compelled
Eulenburg to make his hasty submis-
sion. Although Eulenb burg has been
temporarily disarmed the conviction in
official circles is that Caprivi must over
come the special Prussian opposition to
the Imperial policy that the imperial
mach inc may work smoothly.

THE REFORMED COLLEGE.

During the next ten days systematic
and strenuous efforts will be made to
secure valuable enterprise for our
city. We refer TO the female college
which the Reformed Church purposes
to establish in the South. Why
shouldn't Martinsburg have itf It's
location here would be Of inestimable
advantage especially from a business
standpoint 1t would be certain to
largely increase the trade Of our city.
The college will be the only one Of its
kind south Of Mason and Dixon's line
and must, therefore, be widely patron
lied by the church under which it is
built.
On Saturday last meeting was
held and the primary action in the
matter taken. The committees APP
pointed are composed Of our most en-
terprising and go-ahead citizens and it
is TO be hoped that their efforts to
secure the necessary subscriptions,
subject 10 the decision Of the Synod,
will be crowned with success. Every
man or woman who has the welfare
and growth Of Martinsburg at heart
should respond TO this appeal and give
a. literally as they are able. The
amount will be returned to them a
hnndred-fold through the increased ad-
vantages thus secured to the town.
There remains but short time be-
fore the meeting Of the Synod which
Will locate the college. and the work
done, therefore, must be quick and
effective. Our city has nothing Of the
kind and the opportunity is not one
to be lost. By securing this college
We hqpe tossee Martinsburg the sea,

stitntions for women III the South.

OF Algeria were, astOnished when the
news was telegraphed from Biskra that
delegat on II ON the TiiaregS, compris-
ing nine members, was approaching. A
Few days later the delegation rode into
Biskra. Thew were mounted on mag
niflcent camelS. wore their war costume
and were armed With lanceS. daggerS
and shields. As Col. Pon:. saw them
approaching he sent an escort OF SOL
diers to meet them and take them to the
dwelling that had been prepared for
their use. The governor Of Algeria
sent Capt. Rebel To receive The en-
basSy, which. after Il days repose, pro-
ceeded to Algiers With the aYoWed.pur-
pose of comforting with the governor
general with a view to concluding
commercial treaty, with France go
The result OF their visit to -Algiers is
not yet known, but the cable dispatches
that have been sent, to Paris Indicate
that there is every prospect OF future
friendly relations between the, French
and Tuaregs. The French newspapers
are making much of the event. They
say that this. is the. first time: for ten
years-that. is, since the assassination
been any official relations between the
l -
tiles. For some months past, however,
news has been coming that the 'fuaregS
were anxious to reach an agreement
with the French.
The Paris Temps. says that it is a mis-
take to suppose it necessary to conquer
the Saharah tribes III, order to. cross the
desert and cennect Algeria CONNER
cially with the central Sondan. The
only practical way is to euIist the
friendship of the nomads*by establish
ing common bonds of interest. 1t be-
hooves France to show the Tuaregs that
by opening regular commercial relations
between Algeria and the big Sondan
Kingdoms of SukOto and Borhu, it is
possible to provide an aim for their
activity. Of course the Tuaregs must
be aware that the French intend to oc-
cupy Tuat, and it is possible that one of
their motives for now seeking peace is
that they dread the consequences to
themselves of an effective occupation of
some of the important cases and the
wells in the Sahara if they continue to
remain hostile. 'i e's5% esq IL

New Y rk Sun.
Great news came to Briska early this
month. Biskra is the terminus of an
Algerian railroad, and-lt is built on the
edge of the Sahara. fhe news was that
a deputation from two Of the big Tuareg
tribes was coming north over the desert
for the purpose Of comforting with the
French authorities. Such a thing had
not been known before for years.
The Tuaregs are the pirates Of the
Sahara. The Sun has often told of the
outrages they have committed. 1t was
they who massacred Nine. Time,
the Dutch woman explorer; the FlatterS
expedition. Camille DOulS, Lieut.. Palat
and other explorers, besides a dozen or
so French fathers who were crossing
the desert to plant their missions in, the
Soudan. Their hand has been turned
against every one. They have lived
chiefly by pillaging caravans travelling
between the Mediterranean states and
the Scudan.
The French have repeatedly failed in
their efforts to open negotiations with
these bandits and Induce them to keep
the peace and lead settled life. They
have had it seriously In view within the
past two years to send an expedition
into the Sahara for the purpose of in
fiicting severe punishment upon the
outlaws; and so little was knownof
these proud desert nomads that, when
some French troops three years ago
captured a number of them and put
them into prison in Algiers. scientific
men from France were sent to spend
months with them in order 10 learn all
they could tell about their language,
people and customs. :.
