Berlin, Aug. l0.-The war celebrations
that have taken place this week have
been successes in all the German states
whore they were held. This proves the
realness Of popular feeling for Germany
unity. Daily demonstrations occurred in
front Of the Neidrwald monument an
Ruedshiem. on Thursday a hun
dred delegates from the veterau
society OF Dortmund Hoerdt de-
posted on the base OF the
statue a huge laurel wreath and palms
branches. Major Harz then delivered a
fiery patriotic speech to the veterans ana
the crowd that had assembled to witness
the ceremony, and he was frequently in
terrupted by applause. one hundred and
sixty delegates from the saxony Chas-
seurs and infantry societies deposited six
huge oak wreaths at the foot of tha
statue. After which they gave cheers foH
the emperor, the empire and Prince Bis
marck.
The town OF Tueblngen celebrated the
battle Of Woerth by field service in ths
cemetery and procession in the marked
place. The Rev. Argemmler. rector Of tho
university delivered a speech. The cele-
bration was attended by all the professors
OF the university. the officers of the gar
rison and the members of the various so-
cieties and guilds Of the town. In the even-

Illuminated. Prof Phlelder. In a speech,
said THE Bavarian veterans generous act
at the beginning of the celebrations wers
everywhere approved. They. in the midst
Of a great crowd had deposited a beauti-
ful laurel wreath on the tomb of the
French soldiers killed in 1870 and 1871 and
buried at Munich"
The secretary Of the veterans. in de-
posting tho wreath, said: Il place this
last wreath, in the name Of the veterans.
on the tombs of the French soldiers. They.
too fought and died for their fatherland.
They doubtless were our enemies but in
death there is neither enemy nor friend
We pray in silence FOR them"
Berlin alone has as yet taken no spr-
tied part in the celebration. The social
ist leaders are greatly dspleased. seeing
that great numbers Of socialist workmea
elsewhere are taking part in the celebra-
ton, they believing that patriotic DEM
onstrations win result in a slackening OF
the workmen's allegiance 10 the party and
IN weakening party discipline.
According to the North German Gazette.
the socialist leaders have organized a
service Of spies to prevent socialists from
taking part in the celebration.
The Berlin chamber Of commerce has
issued its report for 1894. The general
state of business is described as unfavor-
able, except in certain branches. 1t says
the pubic shows marked tendency to
buy cheap and inferior goods, which re-
suits In a depression of prices. Trade has
had to deal with many troubles including
the tariff and monetary policy of the
United States. the social antagonism be-
tween employers and employed, and the
agragrian movement. but the increase oe
the Boerz tax did not have the permanent
depressing effect that was expected, ow-
ing to the plethora Of capital.
The latest census of Berlin, showing
that the city does not contain near as
many Inhabitants as IL was supposed ID
did, has caused the shopkeepers to shake
their heads and to remark that formerly
the population rose from fifty to sixty
thousand yearly, while now 1t is nearly
stationary. 1T appears to be hopeless for
Berlin to ovetake Paris, which IS now
10000 ahead in population. Vienna Is
pressing Berlin closely. while St. Peters,
burg progresses more rapidly than tha
German capital. In Berlin there are now
more than 1900 apartments without tens
ants.
The political portion of the German
press Is devoted largely to a discussion
Of Germany's relations with England,
which do not improve despite the access
sion of Lord Salisbur y to the British
premiership The anti-British feeling has
been growing here since 1894, when Lord
Rosebery's policy towards Russia was re-
garded as an attempt to procure the po-
litcal isolation Of Germany. It is Great
Britains treatment Of smaller questions,
especially colonial matters, that Germany
complains Of. The Samoan question and
questions pertaining to several districts
in Africa, which are pending between the
two countries are irritating to Germany.
Unless Great Britain shows a good viii
to meet Germany half way she must be
prepared for sharp reprisals. The Ger
man press unanimously expresses indig-
nation at the articles that have recently
appeared in the English press. The pa
pers here say that Great Britain is much
mistaken If she thinks she can make q
catspaw Of Germany.
HIGHLY EFFICIENT RESERVES.
