Berlin. Aug. 27.-The German press
continues TO discuss the peace condi-
tions from various points Of view, a ma
.ority of the papers according the Unit
ed States high praise for the modera-
tion the American government dis
played. Most Of them seem TO expect
that difficulties will arise over the ulti-
mate disposal and condition Of the nil
ippines. but as a rule the arguments
advanced are repetitions and thread
bare
The Kolnische Zeitune's editorial may
be worth quoting. as there is the best
reason for believing that IL was in
spired. 1t V Before a definite
peace IL concluded considerable time
must elapse. Meanwhile. the interna-
tional situation in the Philippines and
the far East generally may have
changed materially. 1t is not likely
that Spain and the United States VIII
agree TO a definite settlement of the
Philippine question without taking the
advice Of the powers, particularly Rus
STA and France" The foreign office
maintains absolute reticence as to the
present attitude OF the government on
the subject.
The most important vents Of the
week in domestic politics have been the
national convention at CTefeld, Rhenish
Prussia. and the attitude adopted by
the socialist party toward the coming
election. The Crefeld convention, for
the first time. took a distinctly friendly
tone toward the government. Bishop
Schmidt of Cologne e~loquently eN-
pressed strictly loyal sentiments. n
telegram sent 10 Emperor William as

delegates of the German Catholics as
-sembled and his reply TO II were no
ticeable features Of the occasion.
Another notable departure was a reso-
luton adopted by the convention to es-
tablish Catholic peasant societies every
where i'm Germany. This was "A strategic
move designed TO compete with the
peasant federation Of Bavaria. 1t was
also significant that the death Of Prince
Bismarck, the author Of the KultuT-
kumpf, instead of being used as a basis
for hostile comment. drew out a few
-semi-laudatory remarks, one speaker
contending that II Bismarck were alive
and chancellor. he would have signed a
bill to recall the Jesuits.
The various socialist local election
committees have decided upon their
course OF action with regard to the diet
election. In Berlin an overwhelming
majority has resolved not to participate,
as under the class election system
socialists have no chance Of elect
ing their candidates. On the other
hand, Breslau, Erfurt. Frankfurt, Lee
buz. Schleusingen, Bielsfeld, Elberfeld,
Einbeck. Brandenburg and other towns
have decided to throw their support 10
the fressinniCe candidates. In a num-
Der of other districts socialists have con-
cluded 10 participate only in action,
which may mean the ruin of many

lin. Privy Councillor Kroner received a
special hint from the government n
bought the bulky manuscript, which IS
now undergoing examination. There is.
however, a duplicate manuscript at
FREDERICKSBURG. and as the text was die
tated by Bismarck personally the fam
fly will not submit TO any considerable
changes or abhreviations.
At Wilhelmshohe on Wednesday con
s~ternation was caused by the discovery
that one Of the chimneys was afire. The
palace was soon filled with smoke and
the members of the imperial family
were driven into the open air. En-
peror william, however, promptly took
control Of the iremen and the flames
were soon e~xtinguished.
There Is unusual activity in the ship
yards at kiel, Stettin. ElhinR and
Hamburg. The government has placed
orders among them. including commits
sions for big torpedo boat deStrOyeIS OF

early next year. In addition there are
ORDER from Russia, Spain. Brazil and
Argentine Republic. II IS "A curious fact
that the government has ordered the
Vulcan S"hipbuildinE works TO pay a
duty OF 26l,O 900 marks on the floating
dock built in England. although the
company protested against the ruling,
a provision II the German tariff law de-
claring that vessels are free Of duty.
II is announced that the navy depart
ment has secured for important tech
meal purposes 1900 photographs of the
new cruiser Hertha when travelling at a

were taken in a few minutes by an in
