Mckinney at the pollS IN the preSldeHlldi
election, which takes place in the United
States next Tuesday is not an over
whelming one, presidential and CONNER
ci-l Germany will experience a shock of
surprise.
With the exception of the special cable
dispatches sent by it's American CORES
pondent to the Berliner Tageblatt. all
of the advices which have been sent by
wire or mail to the Berlin press have so
expressly excluded any possibility of
Bryan's election. that public interest in
the American Congress has waned. The
social.stic organ, the Voerwaertz, and
the F'ressinige and other liberal organs
suggest that an uprising of the masses
might defeat the combined educated and
capitaliStic forces; but in the face of the
/; unvarylng tenor of the news received from
America, the public have accorded the
election of Mckinley as a foregone -c9n-
clusion. Glass prejudice here, however.
is little interested in the result, as evil
denced by the utteranres of the Kreuze
Zeitung CONSERVATIVE, which discusses
Mckinley versus Bryan from currency
point of view ignoring all of the other
issues entering into the controversy. The
KreuZe Zeitung inclines, however, to the
support of Mckinley, as the election OF a
bimetallist such as Bryan would be dis
astrous. The influence of the trusts and
other monopolies in perverting electoral
votes toward Bryan is also commented
upon by many newspapers, but the con-
census of opinion is that nothing can pre-
vent a Mckinley triumph.
HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
Under this conviction, the bourse for
the past few days has been esDec-di4y
firm in American stocks and textile man
uactureS, and the expectation is that af-
ter election there will be an increase of
exports to the United States. this be-
lief being based upon the ground that the
advance in the price of grain is benehting
to American farmers and consequently
mand or their goods. The German farm
ers. however, have not been in the least
benefited by the rise N the price u
wheat and other cereals, as have the
agriculturalists of Hungary, where the
harvest has been abundant and there has
been an advance of nearly tv.N horlns
per hundred in the price of wheat. This
state of things has been a perfect god
send to the Hungarian farmers. and has
also given an impetus to trade all round.
The Berlin financial journals in the-r
articles discussing the prospects for the
the immediate future, agree that if Nc
Kinley is elected affairs will remain very
much as they are at present, that is 10
say that there will be little or no finan-
cial trade; but if Bryan should be success
full. there will be a financial and CONNER
cial cataclysm. European capitalists,
those papers agree, must, Therefore, pre-
pare for a decline in American securities,

tracts in Europe, and the consequent
failure of European, and especially Eng
lish capitalists, and the stoppage of Eu-
ropean exports from America.
PRINCE AND EMPEROR.
The conference which Chancellor Prince
Hohenlohe had with the emperor yester-
day is understood to have had reference
to a projected conference of the Euro
>pean powers with the object of revising
the treaties of Berlin and Paris and also
a settlement of the customs dispute,
which has for some time existed between
Russia and Germany. The emperor is
favorable to making concessions to Rus
possible settlement of conflicting inter-
pretations of the present commercial
treaty, and it is understood that the car
is not averse to yielding many of the
vorable adjustment of the differences can
thus be brought about. The Russian Of
fetal, NJ. Timirjagseff, who conducted the
original treaty negotiations. will arrive
in Berlin on Tuesday for the purpose Of
assisting in the arrangement necessary
for the holding of a conference, but moth
ing in regard to the matters in question
is definitely known, except that it is CIV
en- out that there may be some delay in
the settlement, inasmuch as it is an
nounced that the car has intimated his
desire for a period of absolute home rest
before allowing his ministers to enter in
to any engagements involving the en-
pire. Although the car had something
like season of rest dnuring his visit to
the queen at Balmoral, and also during
his stay at Darmstadt, persons connected
with the encourage of the czar and car
ina say that his majesty intends to enjoy
2 period of the solitude of home life as
pose. While he was at Balmoral he was
overwhelmed with sense of re-
sponsibility, and at Darmstadt
which he was obliged to participate in
were only relieved by rambles in the
woods in company with the cZarina, home
cursions. ETC. Now that the car has re-
turned to st. Petersburg, it is announced
he will put off all state business as long
as possible. But the question is, will
events wait the cars leisure?
HOHENLOHE.
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 mem
Der of the Sacred college, and it may be
remarked, the second brother of the chan
cellor who has died within the year, the
other also having been a cardinal. The
chancellor was opposed to the promulga-
ton of the dogmas of the immaculate con-
ception and the infallibility of the pope.
by Pope Plus TX, and held his brother
Cardinal Gustav Adolf, in contempt as
being lighthead'ad and shallowminded.
Pope Leo All1 dlStruSIeQ cardinal HOhen-

him to be a personal friend of Prince
Bismarck. During the Kulturkampf at

XIII. Cardinal Hohenlohe left Rome and
sought refuge in Munich with Dr. Doel-
linger. the leader of the old Catholics at
that time and menaced the vatican with a
schism in the ranks of the German Catho-
lies The masterful tact of the pope was
the only thing which prevented a scandal
and the death of the cardinal relieves
the vatican of an enemy and GERMANY of
doubtful friend. Latteriy, Cardinal
Hohenlohe had a monomania that the
Jesuits were consp.ring to poison him. and
he would eat nothing but eggs, which
were boiled in his presence.
The 18th birthday of the empress. which
occurred on October %, was celebrated
on Tuesday in the presence of only the
most intimate members of the imperial
family circle. In accordance with the old
German CUSTOM a large table was placed
in the center OF the room in the en-
press quarters which was deliberately
decorated with flowers. Upon the table
also decorated with flowers. was a huge
cake surrounded by 36 lighted candles
symbelzing the years of the empress life
The kaiserin was the recipient of num-
erous birthday presents, chief among
which was the gift of the kaiser of his
own new categorical painting descriptive
of the passage of the seasons and years

Italian landscapes.
