BERLIN, March 3O.-The refusal of the
majority of the reichstag to celebrate
Prince Bismarck's birthday, Emperor
Williams comment thereon and the
scenes which occurred ut Friedr,chsruh
during the past week have altogether put
the Germans in feverish condition, and
public opinion is expressed much more
generally and outspoken than customary.
The conservative and national liberal
press vigorously denounce the reichstag
majority, one paper in Leipsic going to
the extent of saying "They ought to be
buried like so much carrion."
So far as the spontaneous utterances OF
popular feeling are concerned, the vast
majority of the German people certainly
dlsapprove of the reichstag's decision. A
significant sign of this is the fact that
throughout the week. whenever the en-
peror appeared publicly, both in Berlin
and elsewhere, he was the recipient of
popular ovations. Thousands of people
| lined Inter den Linden Monday and
cheered him, and this has been repeated
every day since. On the other hand, the
centrist, radical and socialist press have
| taken the emperor to task in unequivocal
| language for his telegram to Prince Bis
marck and because of sundry passages in
his address at Friedrichsruh.
The Cologne Voiks Zsitung, the chief
organ of the center party, in series OF
prominent articles, criticized the emperor
sharply, saying that while 1t is the en-
peror's right to change his mind or con-
duct toward Prince Bismarck, it could not
be disputed that it was right of the reich
stag majority and the Centrists and
especially to adhere steadfastly to their
| old opinions.
The socialist press, notably the For-
lcaerts, is more outspoken and calls upon
the reichstag to rebuke the monarch's ut
.erances respecting their vote, and claims
that Herr Won Levetzow and the oonser-
vatiye minority were iustigated from
| Friedrichsrhu in provoking last Saturdays
stormy scene in the reichstag, and that
the Bismarck clique is aiming to displace
the present cabinet.
Herr Richter's organ The Freissianige
Zeituag. pointedly compares the relations
between the emperor and Prince Bis
marck and those which existed between
!, them n couple of years ago, and asks
whether the reichstag has gone as far in
refusing to share in the present celebra-
fions as the monarch did in 1892, when he
forbade oil recognition of Prince Bis
limarck and the friends of the latter were
lofilcially ostracized.

The recent diplomatic changes are in
fterpreted as pointing TO some disturbance
of the friendly relations between Germany
and Russia. 1t appears that the new
Russian ambassador to Berlin, Count
Osten-Sacken, formerly Russian minister
to Bavaria, was appointed without con-
siderlng the desires of Emperor William
and tho latter's reply was the recall of
General Werdt, the Prussian ambassador
at Berlin and the appointment in his
place of the Pole, Prince Radolin, recently
German ambassador to Turkey, as Ger
man ambassador to Russia.
The Russian government, according ia
good authority, is greatly concerned AT
the agrarian agitation in Germany, which
is made directly against Russia.
In the reichstag to-day the agrarian pro-
posals of Count Won Kanitz were again
brought up and were referred TO a com.
mittee amid conservative applause.
The gross profits of the North German
Lloyd Steamship company during 1884,
were 1878, ,7l5. compared with 81, ,9i3, s2j In
1898. The unsatisfactory state of the in
, dustries and commerce of the United
States is given as the reason for this re
duction of the revenue.

tive OF the Cotton States Internationa
exposition, who is seeking Europe's par
ticipation in the exhibition AT Atlanta thii
year is now in Germany. The govern
ment is encouraging this idea as far al
possible and efforts are being made TO in
duce manufacturers and other business
houses to take part in the exhibition.
