hlIliey Ut tile polls IN the next lTcAlutitla
election which takes place in the United
Statesnext tuesday, is not an anovcrwhcimins
one political and commercial Germany Will
experience surprise. With the excep-
tlon oi some of the special cable dispatches
sent by its American correspondent to the
Berliner TaSebiatt, all OF the adviCes which
have been sent by wire or mail 10 the Berlin
press have SO expressly excluded any pos
sibiiity oil Bryan's election that public
interest in the American campaign has
waned
The SOcialistor organ, the orw arts and the
Freisnnse and other Liberal organs, sug-
sest tnat an uprising OF the masses might
deTeat the combined educated and capital
istic forces, but III the face of the unvary-
ing tenor OF the news received from Amer
lea the public have accepted the election
OF Mchlnley asa ToreSOne conclusion. Glass
prejudice mere, however. cuts but little
figure in the result, as evidenced by the
utterances OF the krcuz Zcitung, CoHserv-
alive, Which discusses the question oil Nc
kinley versus Bryan from a currency point
OF view ignoring all the other issues enter
ing into the campaign. The Kreuz Zcitung
lnciines, however, 10 the support of Nc
hlnley, as the election Of a Dimelallist such
as Bryan would be disastrous.
MkINLEY VICTORY EXPECTED.
The influence of the trusts ana other
monopOlieS in perverting electoral votes
toward Bryan is also Commented upon by
many newspapers, but the CONSENSUS Gf
opinion is that nothing can prevent u
Mckinley triumph. Under TINS conviction
the Duurse Tor the last Two days has been
especially firm for American stocks. Tex
tile manufacturers expect that after the
election there viii be an increase OF eX
ports to the United States, this belief be-
ing based upon The ground hat the adj
vance in the price OF grain is benefiting
10 American farmers, and consequently
ought To lead to an Increase in the de
mand Tor European goods.
German farmers. however, have not in
the least benefited by the rise IN the price
OF wheat and other cereals, as have the
agriculturalists of Hungary, where tie
harvest ha been abundant and where there
has been an advance OF nearly two floriils
per hundredweight in the price OF wheat.
This state of things has been a perfect
godsend to the Hungarian farmers, and
has also given an impetus TO trade all
around.
The Berlin financial Journals, in their
articles discussing the prospects for the
immediate future, agree that if Mckinley
is elected, affairs VIII remain very much
as they are at present,f that is TO say that
there will be little or no financial trade:
but If Bryan should he successful there will
be Il financial and commercial cateclySm.
REVIVAL OF TREATIES.
European capitalists, those papers argue,
must therefore prepare for Il depreciation
i'll the value of American securities. large :
premium ON gold, extensive failures "
American companies having gold contracts
IN Europe, and the consequent failure Of
European and especially English capital
lists. and stoppage Of European exports
from America.
The conference which Chancellor Prince
Hohenlobe had with the emperor yestcr-
day is understood to have had reference
to projected conference OF the European
powers with the object of revising the
treaties of Berlin and Paris and also a
settlement OF the customs dispute which
has for sometime existed between Russia
and Germany. Tile emperor is favorable
to making concessions to Russia, which
VIII bring about the speediest possible
settlement of the conflicting interpret,I-
ton of the present commercial treaty, ana
it is understood that the ear Is not averse
to yielding many OF the points at issue, if
an amicable and favorable adjustment OF
the differences can thus be brought about.
The Russian official, NJ. Timirjagseff,
who conducted the original treaty nego-
tiatiuns, viii arrive in Berlin on Tuesday
for the purpose of assisting in the arrange
ment necessary for the holding of a con-
ference, but nothing in regard to the mat
ters in question is definitely known except
that it is given out that there may be some
delay in the settlement. inasnuch as it
is announced that the cZar has intimated
his desire for n period OF absolute home
repose before allowing his ministers to
enter into any engagements involving the
empire.
GEAR WANTS REST.
Although the car had something like n
season of rest during his visit to the queen
at Balmoral, and also during his stay at
Darmsladt, persons connected with the
encourage of the car and Czarisa saw that
his majesty intends to enjoy for period
the solitude OF home life as the only means
OF securing perfect repose.
While he was At Balmoral he was over
weighted with sense OF responsibility and
at Darmstadt the strain of the numerous
functions which he was obliged TO partici
pate in were only relieved by ranbleS in
the woods in company with the cZarina,
home party picniCS, mushroom gathering
excursions, etc. Now that the ear has
returned to st. Petersburg it is announced
that he will cease all state business as long
rs possible, but the question is, VIII events
await the cars leisure?
Prince Hohenlohe's interview with the
emperor is believed also to have had some
reference to the death a few days ago of
his brother, Cardinal Gustav Adolf
Hohenlohe, the most liberal member of
the sacred college, and it may be remarked
the second brother OF the chancellor, who
has died within the year, the other also
having been a cardinal. The chancellor
was opposed to the PRONUNCIATION OF the
dogmas of the immaculate conception and
The infallibility of the pope by Pope Plus
IN, and held his brother Cardinal Gustav
Adolf, in contempt as being light-headed
and shallow minded.
DISTRUSTED THE CARDINAL.
Pope Leo XIII distrustcd Cardinal Ho-
henlUhe as a dangerous intriguer, knU W.
ing him to be personal friend of I rince
bismarck. During the Kulturkampf, at the
crisis of quarrel with Pope Leo XIII,
Cardinal Hohenlobe left Rome and sought
refuge in Munich with DR.. Doellinger,
the leader of the old Catholics at that time,
and menaced the Vatican with a schism
in the ranks of the German Catholics.
The masterful tact Of the Pope was the
only Ting which prevcnted'a scandal, and
the death Of the cardinal relieves the
Vatican Of an enemy and Germany Of Il
doubtful friend. Lattcrly Cardinal Ho-
henluhc had monomania that the Jesuits
were conspiring to poison him, and he
would eat nothing but eggs, which were
boiled in his presence.
Thethirty-eighth birthday of the empress,
which occurred on October 90, was cele-
brated on Tuesday in the presence OF only
| the most intimate members OF the Imperial
family circle. In accordance with the
old German custom large table was placed
in the center of the room in the empress
apartments, which were deliberately deco
rated with flowers. Upon the table, also
decorated with flo wers, was huge cake,
surrounded by thirty-eight lighted candles,
symbolizing the years of the empress life.
The Kaiserin was the recipient of numrr-
Gus birthday presents, chief among which
was the gift of the Kaiser, of his vwn
