LAUGHING IN THEIR SLEEVES.
Slight Regard In Germany for Rus
sia's Peace SuEEestiOn.

Berlin, Aug. 30.-The first shock, If so it
can be called. of the plan of peace
throughout the world set forth by the
Russian imperial ruler, is followed here
by sentiment akin to actual ridicule.
Diplomats and statesmen. superficially
sympathetic in their consideration of the
Cars intended entering wedge for the
millennium, as many are irreverently dis
posed TO style it, are generally laughing
in their sleeves at what they earnestly
believe to be a wild Utopian notion.
Every one is willing 10 give the de-
scendant of the ruling autocrats of the
great empire credit for good intentions.
But in truth Ii can be said that the ami
cable thunderboft of Nicholas has not
vet been thoroughly read between the
lines. Its material purport is a matter
of question and the general belief in Ger
many is that many a long year will in
line up together and vote 'aye" to the mo-
tion of the descendant of the most ty-
rannical rulers THAI have figured on the
face of the globe.
The quick Endorsement of the Pope of
Rome coupled with the idea that wo-
men politicians at the Court of Copen-
hagen are panty responsible for the
enunciation from the Kremlin somewhat
lessons in Germany the influence II
might have had. The whole nation is
skeptical as ito the value of the confer
ence II proposes.
