Berlin, Nov. 1.-If the triumph of Nc
Kinley at the polls in the presidential cleo
ton, which takes place in the United
Staes next Tuesday, is not an overwhelm-
ing one, political and commercial Ger
many will experience a shock of surprise.
With the exception of some of the special
cable dispatches sent by it's American cor
renspondent to Berlner Tageblatt, all of
the advices which have been sent by wire
or mail to the Berlin press have so ex-
pressly excluded any possibility of Bryan's
election that public interest in the Amer
lean campaign has waned. The socialist
organ, the Vorwaerts and the Freisinnige
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 unvarying tenor of
the news received from America the pub
lie have accepted the election of McKin-
ley as a foregone conclusion. Glass pref

ested in the result as evidenced by the ut
terances of the Kreuz Zitung, conserva-
tive, which discusses the question of Nc
Kinely versus Bryan from a currency
point of view, ignoring all of the other
issues entering into the campaign.
The Kreuz Zeitung inclines however, to
the support of Mckinley, as the election
of bimetallist such as Bryan would be
disastrous. The influence Of the trusts and
the other monopolies in perverting cleo
toral votes toward Bryan is also COM
mented upon by many newspapers, but the
consensus of opinion is that nothing can
prevent a Mckinley triumph. Under this
conviction the Bourse for the last two
days has been especially firm in American
stocks.
Textile manufacturers expect that after
the election there will be an increase of
exports 10 the United States this belief
being based upon the ground that the
advance in the price of grain is benefiting
American farmers and consequently ought
to lead to an increase in the demand for
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

vest has been abundant and where there
has been an advance of nearly two fiorins
per hundredweight in the price of wheat.
This state of things has been perfect
God-send to the Hungarian farmers, ana
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 II Mckinney
is elected affairs will remain very much as
they are at present-that is to say, tina;
there will be little or no financial distress.
But If Bryan should be successful, there
will be financial and commercial catact-
ysm European capitalists, the papers
argue, must, therefore, prepare for de-
probation in the value of American Secu-
rites, = large premium on gold, extern
SiVe failures of American companies nav
ing gold contracts in Europe, and the
consequent failure of European, and es-
pocally English capitalists, and stoppage
of European exports from America.
The conference which Chancellor Prince
Hohenlohe had with the emperor yester
day is understood to have had reference
to 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 existed for some time between Russia
and Germany. The emperor is favorable
to making concessions to Russia which will
bring about the speedest possible Settle
ment of the conflicting Interpretation of
the present commercial treaty, and it is
unGers TODD that the czar is not averse TO
yielding many of the points at issue
if an amicable and favorable ad-
iustment of the differences can be thus
brought about. The Russian official, M.
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 nothing in
regard to the matter in question is def
nitely known except that it is given out
that there may be some delay in the set
tlement. inasmuch as it is announced that
the czar has intimated his desire for Pc
riod of absolute home repose before al
lowing his ministers to enter into any en-
gagements involving the empire.
Although the czar had something like
a season Of rest during his stay at DARN
stadt, persons connected with the en-
tourage of the czar and czarina say that
his majesty intends to enjoy a period of
the solitude of home life as the only
means of securing perfect repose. While
he was at Balmoral he was overweighted
with a sense of responsibility and at
Darmstadt the strain of the numerous
functions which he was obliged to par
ticipate in were only relieved by rambles
in the woods in company with the czarina,
home party picnics, mushroom gathering
excursions, etc. Now that the czar has
returned to st. Petersburg 1t is announc-
ed that he will cease all state business as
long as possible, but the question is, will
events await the czar's leisure?
Prince Hohenlohes interview with the
emperor is believed also to have had some
reference to the death few days ago of
his brother, Cardinal Gustav Adolf HOhen-
lohe, the most liberal member of the Sa-
cred college, and 1t 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 OPP
posed to the PRONUNCIATION of the dogmas
Of the immaculate Conception and the In
fallibility of the Pope by Pope Plus TX,
and held his brother, Cardinal Gustav
Adolf I'm contempt as being lightheaded
and shallow minded. Pope Leo XIII dis
trusted Cardinal Hohenlohe as danger
GUS intriguer, knowing him to be a per-
sonal friend of Prince Bismarck. During
the Kulturkampf. at the crisis OF a quar-
rel with Pope Leo XIII, Cardinal Hohen-
lohe left Rome and sought a refuge in
Munich with Dr. Doelinger. the leader Of
the old Catholics at that time, and mem
