BERLIN, Sept. 2s.-(Special Berlin Ca
bic letter copyrighted 1895 by the Asso-
ciated Press -Prince Won Hoheniohe, the
German imperial chancellor, has ahan-
doned the attempt to secure a majority in
the reichstag through the aid Of Centrist
votes. The Centrist party furnished am
pie proof last winter Of being both ire
ccncilable and unreliable, and Prince Bis-
narcks advice on this point is said to
have changed the opinion that Prince Won
1iohenlohe formerly held. Negotiations
are now on foot between the factions of
the Conservative party and the National
Liberals and Moderates, to secure con-
certed action throughout the next session
OF the reichStag on the most vital OF The
government measures. The movement
which is almost certain to succeed, will
g.Ve the government a more stable major
ity than ever Won Caprivi had.
Principal Measures.
Among the principal government meas
ures which will be introduced at the COM
ing session of the relchstag are:
For reform of the bcurse; for the pro
lection Of mechanical trades against dis
honest competition: for the relief of agrl-
culture and for the federation of nus
bandry. In preparation for the two lat
Ter measures, facts are being collected
throughout the empire bearing on the
subject of the agricultural depression,
which will be laid before the reichStag.
The government does not intend to intro
duce any new taxation bills at the APP
preaching session.
Among those who have been arrested
N connection with the discovery that Sc
cretS regarding the national defense were
being sold TO the French is a former Ba-
Nariam army officer, Ludwig PfeiHer, in
those room IN Berlin were found models
and drawings of German DEFENSE works
and letters from the French military bu-
reau. Altogether some fifteen arrests have
tried at Leipsig. The drawings and mod
els seized are for the most part descrip-
tive of new heavy ordnance and plans of
fortlcaton, but three letters found are
reported to have contained instructions
from the war department at Paris itself.
On Shoot.
Two companies of soldiers accompanied
Emperor William to Ronlinten, when he
went thither upon his shooting expedition.
TheSe soldiers serve as an imperial BODY
guard. This innovation is Que to the fact
that at both Potsdam and Stettin Empe-
for William received many threatening
letters, apparently emanat:- from So
cialists and anarchists and cnat he vas
approached on several occasions by sus-
pictous appearing persons.
Emperor William has been having his
usual sporting luck al Rominten. He Kill
led twenty-three stays with his own hand
on Thursday. He has ordered that Sir
Hfbert's daY, which occurs on November
g. shall be kept by great chase in Grune
waId, near eBrlin, to which King Albert,
OF Saxony, is invited.
Our Exports.
Mr.. R. Knille, representing r. G. Dun
& Co, of New York, has just completed
4 tour through Germany. He reports
that exports from the United States into
Germany arc constantly increasing, es-
pecially in the lines of furniture and fruit.
bout 800 commercial travellers from the
United States are now in this country,
trying to open up fresh channels of trade
for American made goods, and are meet
ing with a reasonable measure of success.
The relations between Emperor William
and Prince Won Hohenlohe are so STRAIN
hot n not "a f.1Tl
there should be a new incumbent of the
imperial chancellOrShip before the eXpir2-
tion of a year from the date on which
the prince was appointed, which was on
Oct %, 1894. The visit Of Prince Won 10
henlohe TO st. Petersburg the early part
OF this month. has proved an unfortunate
one for him officially, however, it may
have resulted peCuniarily. It was alleged
at the time that the hcancello-S erranc.
while primarily Of an official nature, had
also a personal side. Prince Won Hohen-
lohe. desiring 10 obtain permission from
the car, that his wife might hold the as
tates in Russia of her deceased brother,
Prince SaYn-W ittgenStein. which are said
10 he worth j0900.00 marks. The advances
which the German imperial chancellor
made on this occasion to the Russian
government were no more favorably re-
CeiVed than were others which had pre-
ceded them, and the fact that under such
circumstances, Prince Won HohenloEe
should have asked a personal favor of the
car, has, according to current report,
greatly anGered Emperor William.
Elusive Compliments.
In this connection. it may be added thai
the efusiVenesS Of the exchanges of COM
pliments between Prince Lobanoff, the
Russian minister Of foreign affairs, and
General DraSOnliroff, on one side and
President Faure and the French ministers
and army officers on the other at the re-
cent army manouTreS on the Vosges /
have not softened the feelings of Empe- |
or William toward the Russians. There !
g. indeed, a decidedly strained feeling AZ |
present existing between the two courts |
and the two nations.
The traffic of the Baltic canal has not |
developed in way to meet the aNpecta- |
tons Of its promoters. Owing to numer- /
Gus accidents and the high tolls charged !
only 100 vessels passed through the canal |
during the month Of August. The fact /
that a still higher scale of charges goes I
into effect Oct l, is likely to further re-
duce the traffic through the canal The !
government: however appears to be con-
hdent of the ultimate suco ,ss of the
canal, for 1t has refused to accade TO the (
appeals Of the Stettin and Kiel chambers /
