invitation of her commander who was
acting upon instructions from his gov
eminent Ii is therefore believed here
that the many graceful and courteous
attentions which, during the past seven
or eight years the emperor has been in
the habit of paying to the French gov
eminent. have borne fruit The emper-
ors act has been .sympathetically re-
ceived in France, though some see in it
only desire to visit the Paris exposi-
ton in 1900.
The attitude of the French press has
caused much satisfaction here.
BERLIN DULL.
Dog day dullness has suddenly settled
upon Berlin. The diet has adjourned to
Aug. A. and the herrenhaus to Aug. II.
Nearly all the ministers have departed
on their vacations, and the political ex-
element of the past week has given
place to a quiet which the papers can
only disturb by inYenting new rumors of
ministerial changes. The emperor is
yachting off the Norwegian coast. No
exciting speeches may be expected from
him, and during his absence the public
has settled down for month of quiet.
CABINET CHANGES.
In view of the more favorable outlook
for the election and canal bills, the talk
OF a dissolution and a reconstruction of
the ministry has died away. The press
now postpones the whole question until
the reassembling of the diet
The rumors regarding cabinet changes
have brought Prince Herbert Bismarck
and his political future into discussion.
1t is believed he is now anxious to wipe
out the memory of the past and put him
self in the way of an appointment to an
important place His recent speeches in
the reichstag praising the government
and It's foreign policy, have been inter-

ton with the emperor and his advisors
The papers generally expect to see him
in some high position in the near future
1t is understood his majesty is favorably
disposed towards the princes ambition
as he wants to obliterate In the German
mind the remembrance of his estrange-
ment with the iron chancellor, and wants
to associate the name Of Bismarck with
his reign.
The Agrarians. claiming Prince Bis
marck as one Of their men, would well
come his return to public life as a vic
tory.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung thinks he
will return to Office only when convinced
that he can carry out his IDEAS
BISMARCK FOR CHANCELLOR.
The papers have not yet agreed as to
what office is to be given to Prince Bis
! marck. Some of them give him one of
the highest diplomatic positions, where
he can train for the CHARACTERISTIC. His
name is mentioned in connection with
| Washington, but others point out that
there is no prospect of that post being
| vacant in the near future, as DR. Won Hol-
leben has been highly successful. It is
believed Prince Bismarck prefers Lon
! don, where he has many arIstocratic
| friends, including Lord Rosebery.
OTIS AMUSING.
| The press comments upon the war In
| the Philippines and the decision of Presi-
/ dent Mckinley to increase the force of
American troops there are not hopefuI
| for American success. The difficulty of
| the situation is regarded as confrma-

rebellion. The Vossische Zeltung makes
merry over what it calls Gen. Otis Ma
