will be adopted before the reichstag adj
journs.
During the remainder of the session
the Centrists intend to introduce and rush
through resolution to re-admit the
Jesuits to Germany. But, though its
adoption by the reichstag is certain, the
bundesrath will reject it.
In the Hesse diet similar Jesuit adj
mission bill was defeated on Tuesday
by four votes. The bundesrath will also
reject the association reform bill, which
was passed by the reichstag on Wednes-
day, although. popular opinion through
out Germany is in favor of the measure.
The large sum of money spent upon
the representative at the Moscow cere
monies and fetes was severely criticised
in the reichstag on Tuesday evening by
Stirum.
The bundesrath Is now considering a
measure providing for the transport of
convicted and discharged criminals to
the German colonies in Africa, especially
to southwest Africa, where the former
are to be employed in the railway build
ings and other public works.

yearly on prisoners.

ment to make provisions to establish its
own printing office.

Corps on the Spandau. The heavy fort
artillery is being used in these manoeu-
vers in the open field. The plans for

up by the emperor himself. Night cav

There is much dissatisfaction in ofhcial
circles at the results of the Moscow cele-
brations and the lack of attention paid
to Prince Henry of Prussia, who repre-
sented Emperor William at the cars
coronation, and to the fetes given at the
German embassy. combined with the ap-
parently Franco-Prussian determination,
are cited in support of this feeling of dis
content. Emperor William is kept
infinitely informed, by letters and tele-
grams. of all of the features of the fctes,
and had lengthy interviews on the sub
ject with Baron Marscha Won Bieber-
stein, the minister for foreign affairs.

by the Associated Press.)-The Nene-
zuelan question has again crept to the
front.
The Speaker says it hears disquieting
news in connection with the negotiations
looking to a peaceful settlement of the
boundary dispute between British
Guiana and Venezuela. 1t adds, how
ever, that nothing has yet happened, and
perhaps there is no cause for anxiety.
But. the Speaker continues, two facts
are perfectly clear; first that the report
of the American commission is expected
ere long, and, in the event of our refusal
to accept its recommendations, we shall
have an outburst of feeling in the United
States compared with which that last
year shall seem trifling; second, that i'll
these circumstances the foreign Office is
not making any attempt to hasten a close
of the incident and is simply nursing the
old plan of letting things drift. We can
speak with confidence when we say that
in the highest quarters of the opposition
there is Il feeling of grave anxiety as 10
the feeling of settlement of the qucs
