The Vossische, quoting from the Ne"

| The article concludes by saying that
neither the victory of Mckinley nor the
success of Bryan can ultimately affect the
| economic movement in the United States,
which depends upon causes far beyond the
struggle that is now taking place between

SUSPICIOUS OF THE MARRIAGE
The BSmarckiap newspaper organs, in
their comments upon the marriage of the
Prince Of Naples, Crown Prince of Italy,
to Princess Helene of Montenegro, which
took place in Rome yesterday, connect
the incident with an English intrigue whose
object is 10 isolate Germany and cause the
withdrawal OF Italy from the DreiblInd.
MaNimilian Harden, writing 10 the Zukunft,
says that the Hreibund is now only an cX.
ternal Seinblance of an alliance. Germany
he says, cannot reckon upon her allies,
as she knows full well that Russia may al
any moment give her assent to the schcmc
