BERLIN. May Is The first week of
the electoral ends without any of the
parties knowing where they stand and
without any of them having anything
reliable from which to forecast the re

rcichstag. The members OF the social
democracy alone seem 10 retain thor

French soldiers and officers stopped.
| Every one knows the rejection neither
diminished the defensive strength of
those in the alliance nor added to
! Frances power of offense. Outside of
Chancellor Won Caprivi's organs the idea
is ridiculed that France and Russia will
attack Germany because the reichstag
refused TO grant all the government de-
manded.
The annual Berlin art exhibition will
be opened to the public tomorrow.
Among the prominent paintings are

An echo from some foreign quarter
has reached here in regard to the newly
published ukase ordering the wholesale
expulsion of Hebrews from the Russian.

ascertained that the only movement
against the Hebrews has been the dis
lodging at several places along the from
tier of number of Hebrews who are
suspected Of being engaged in Snug
Cling.
Apart from ordinary observance of
old DEGREES designed to keep Hebrews
within fixed places, no movement against
the race has taken place in Poland.
In the autumn the manuvers OF the
German army on the vastest scale ever
attempted will be held between Treves
