BERLIN, Jan. 12.-It was announced this
afternoon that the chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe. will start tomorrow on his
lonG-talked-of visit to Prince Bismarck,
who is now at Friedrichsruh. Prince
Bismarck, in spite of his intense grief at
the loss of the princess, his wife, remains
in fair health. The reports published in
some newspapers that his mental powers
are failing, are unfounded.
Count Won Moltke, aide-de-camp of the
emperor, returned to Berlin to-day after
accomplishing the imperial mission of
presenting Prince Bismarck with gift of
flowers. yesterday being the anniversary
of the princes memorable speech in the
reichstag advocating an increase of the
German army.
1t was rumorod to-day that tho minister
of commerce, Freiherr Won Berlepsch, is
about TO rosign, and that he will be sue
ceeded by Herr Studt, governor of West
phalia. The imperial secretary of state
for foreign affairs and minister of state
has the samo intention, and Count Won
Observation-Disclosures, the German am
bassador at London, is spoken of as his
successor.
During a debate on the anti-revolution
bill IN the reichstag Tuesday, Prince Ho-
henlohe presided at meeting of the min
istry, and tho question of dissolving the
reichstag was for the first time openly
discussed at the instance of the chancel-
lor. Herr Won Boetticher has thus far not
lifted up finger in behalf of the passage
of the bill, and has declared that it was
his conviction that the measure was sure
of being defeated. Freiherr Won Bieber-
stein expressed the same opinion, and
hence the reports of further changes in
the ministry.
The statements of the members of tho
center party during 1898 bear out the pre-
vious understanding that the support of
the centrists in an attempt TO pass tho
measure will only be given if the govern
ment comedies their demands, notably
for the return of the Jesuits to Germany,
and after important notifications have
been made in the bill itself. That somo
legislation in the agrarian interest will be
submitted by the government appears not
certain, in view of the utterances of the
emperor during tho last few days and
other incidents. HIS majesty is known to
have impressed the ministry at a recent
meeting with the necessity of providing
for the needs of husbandry, and Oh
Wednesday night IN conversation after a
dinner with the officers of the Hussar
bodyguard at Potsdam, the emperor being
q guest of the Hussars, he remarked:
"Something must DO done for the tillers
OF the soil, or the prosperity of the whole
country will be seriously Affected
1t is a significant fact, in connection
with the agrarian question, that the
agrarian leader, Count Won Mordach,
whose name it will bo remembered was
struck from the emperor's guests at tho
banquet at Koenigsburg last autumn, has
just issued an electoral address in which
he says that he was greatly pleased during
his recent stay in Berlin TO perceive that
high authorities are now convinced that
only by working in unison with tho views
of the conservative party can they accom-
plish good for the Fatherland.
The following remark is attributed to
the emperor and is said to have been ut
tered by him during tho couse of tho adj
dress which he delivered on the German
navy last Tuesd ay, when ho represented
to his hearers that, in view of the fact
that the German merchant marine was
now the second largest in the world, the
German navy should be increased by a
number of fast cruisers. lie is quoted as
saying: "As my grandfather made tho
army Wnat III Is, so L want 10 make tho
German navy great"
The socialists continue making a hard
fight against the government. The VOr-
tUderts announces that during the past
month 40 socialist editors have been sem
fenced for various ofIenses such as "Les
majestic and for insulting public
officials.
Tho American consular reports from
various districts of Germany for the last
quarter are favorable to Germany's eN-
port interests. The Hamburg district
shows an increase Of 100000 over the
same quarter of 1891. From nearly all
the other districts n great increase is re-
ported.
During tho courts stay in Berlin rather
a gay season may be expected if the pro-
gramme of festivities, sanctioned by tho
emperor. is not interfered with by unfor-
seen circumstances. A series of balls,
masquerades and receptions have been
arranged.
Henry Willard has announced his inten-
ton Of residing in Berlin in future.
Lately he has been living in Munich.
Two hams imported from America have
been seized because they were strongly
infected with trichinae. Russian hog
has also been seized for the same reason
Tho minister of husbandry and interior
has issued a general order to provincial
presidents to enforce the sanitary inspcc-
lion OF all meat offered for sale.
