dealing with the position of these issues of
the banks would be introduced in parlia-

inquiry into the scandals hs could not &C

for at the present moment everything Is
being done to bring about a good feeling
with Russia.
Tho fact that the kaiser ia adopting
Prince Bismarcks policy toward Russia ia
attracting good deal of attention. It
means more than on first sight appears. In
the fret place it again opens the question
of the possibility OF Prince Bismatck's re-
turning to favor--net to say to power.
Bismarck most assuredly inspired more
faith in Russia than any other German
statesman. The question IL, can his sue
cessor take his place?
Quite contrary to the report spread about,
the alliance with Aust ia had been weak
ened and not strengthened as stated. 1t
was owing to this that the stronoess efforts
are being made At present to bring about an
undo standing with Russia. The reichstag
has given way to the desires of the en-
peror, and will give full vote for the gov.
