though there is a distinct undercur-
rent of uneasiness which tends to
show that the newspapers do not be-
lieve what they are printing on the
subject. The opinion is expressed,
however, that the czar has again made
1t plain to France that Russia cannot
be dra gged into following policy of the
revanche, and the conviction becomes
al! the time more widespread, as it is
industriously pressed in every quar-
ter. that France will relinquish the
idea of revenge upon Germany and
the reconQuest of Aisace-Lorraine
and will gradually become more friend
ly to Germany. Doubtless, however,
the wish in this case is father to the
thought.
An unpleasant surprise has been Gre
ated by the naval correspondents of
the kreuse Zeitung and other conser-
vative newspapers, as well as the cor
respondent of the Deutsche Zetung
reporting the naval maneuvers near
Danzlg during the past fortnight.
They describe the evolutions of the
German war vessels as having been
total failures so far as Quickness and
nIaneuvering ability to resist torpedo
attacks are concerned. On Tuesday
last off the port of Bella, one ironclad
division narrowly missed running
torpedo boats The correspondents

who were themselves naval men and
who were on board the vessels en-
gagged IN the maneuVerS, attribute this
lack of skill to the want of modern
equipments on the German ships. The
government will argue from this that
more cruisers are needed for the Ger
man fleet and will urge the necessity
Of forming a division Of cruisers.
The new chief Of the navy depart
ment, Admiral Won Tierpitz, paid a
visit to Prince Bismarck during the
week and consulted the ex-chancellor
on naval matters, especially as to the
need of larger German navy. Prince
Bismarck conceded the necessity of
strengthening the fleet, but he strong
ly dissuaded the admiral from making
that the principal issue in the reich
stag during the coming session of that
body. On the following day Admiral
Won I1erpitz went to Wilhelmshohe to
report the result of his visit to the en-
peror. 1t is said on high authority.
that his majesty still clings to his in
tention to force the reichstag to grant
much larger appropriations than here

Center and Liberal factions still stub

The investigation into the recent de-
railment of the Hamburg-Berli ex-
press near Celle, which led to loss of
llfe and the destruction of consider

results. The Berlin detectives have

placed near the tracks, and lighted
fuses were attached to them The DO
