BRIGHT BUDGET FRoM BERLIN.
The Emperor Does Great Honor to
Our Representative.


Berlin, Jan. 6.-[Copyrishted, 1894,
by the Associated Press. IAN agree
ment regarding the Russian treaty of
commerce has beeen reached in all
points, but the Russian side, the I'M
Outstanding being this will take some
time.
In order to prevent further difficult
ties, Interpretation of the treaty in
German and Russian languages will
be avoided. The whole will thus be
drafted in French. The difficulty now
remaining is the duration of the
treaty.
Russia favors a short and Germany
demands a. long period. The pros
poets for its adoption by the Reich
stag are diminished Marguardsen
Paasche and Burhlin, three influential
members of the National Liberal party
have publicly announced their inten-
ton to vote against the treaty, and
it is feared others will follow their
example and, as a change of twelve
votes would suffice to defeat the
treaty, the impending crisis is brought
nearer.
Richter is preparing an attack upon
the government, on the CameroOnS
affair. The attack will be made
mainly on the lines of injudicious Sc
lection of officials entrusted to repre-
sent the German power in Africa
These officials are said to be mostly
young and without colonial expari-
ence, and the bulk of the troubles
with the natives, it is claimed, origin
ates in the mistakes they made.
The raising OF tie American minister,
Hon. Theodore B. Runyon, to the rank
of ambassador has just been given a
fitting significance by a special compli-
ment paid by the emperor by driving
to the embassy on New Years morn
ing, and sending up a card. personally
inviting him to the reception. Runyon
gave eclat to the event by driving
to the palace in splendid style with a
coachman and two footmen in blue
coats and white caps. An American
eagle was painted on the carriage and
the trappings were deliberately emit
broidered. The equipage caused a
great deal of curiosity among the peo-
pie of Berlin, the colors not yet being
familiar to the people of the city.
Hon. Theodore B. Runyon and Mrs.
Runyon gave a dinner today to the
members and wives of the English
land American embassies, all of whom
attended, including the British am
bassador Sir Edward Malt and lady
Z Cold weather causes the greatest
misery in many quarters of the city,
and additional shelters have been op-
ened for the accommodation of 1000
more people, who receive coffee and
bread free of charge. The Athermome-
ter has fallen since yesterday, and
there seems no prospect of an immed-
late break in the extremely cold
weather.
The Reichzanzer prints letter from
Caprivi, written in reply to resolutions
of the Conservative association, in
which the chancellor says he is in
clined to hear non-Official opinions of
experts in connection with the official
inquiry which has been opened with a
view of ascertaining the opinion as
to the measures desirable in order to
raise the deprecated value of silver.
Herr Bleess' libel trial has led to con-
siderable comment as to the difference
of the respective regimes of Prince
Bismarck and General Caprivi. The
Iienient sentences. it is claimed prove
an immense change has occurred in
political views and opinions since the
dismissal of the iron chancellor. The
neoDle ask whether any court Of justice
would. under Bismarck's government,
have the Independence merely to fine
an offender a hundred marks for insult
ing him.
Herr Bleichroger, the well known
banker. announces the attempt in vi
