BERLIN, Nov. 1S.-The reassembling of
the reichstag Tuesday caused hardly a
ripple on the surface Of political life. 1t
seems that neither the reichstag nor the
government is anxious for conflict over
the pending measures concerning which
there is much heated difference of opinion.
1t was different with the emperor's de-
parture- for England, which nine-tenths
of the natives condemn. 1t has been gen
orally known that the visit would take
place. The press of every shade of opin-
ion, which had been unreservedly abusing
Great Britain and frankly pooh-poohed
the notion of his majesty going there,
has become more cautious, and now some
of the papers even speak approvingly of
the visit. This does not alter the fact
that the people are still Overwhelming
against the visit, and against Great
Britain in the matter Of the war. The
inspired press Is trying hard to convince
its readers that the visit IS purely per-
sonal, and totally devoid of political
meaning. The Tageblatt remarks:
Even If the emperor is forced to talk
Buelow along, who will know how to
confine the conversation to the proper
narrow limits
This, however, is said to be all nom
sense, as neither the emperor, Won Buelow
nor the foreign office is at all Anglo
phoebe on the war Official reports re-
ceived have changed considerably not only
the emperor's opinion about the Beers
and their government, but also that of the
foreign office. 1t is absurd to say that
either the emperor or his government had
in mind at any time during the past few
months to interfere in South Africa for
the benefit of the Beers. Unquestionably
his majesty's visit to Great Britain IS I'M
dertaken largely for political reasons, and
Is distinctly meant as a friendly act. If
this is still cloaked and hidden from the
general public, it is only due to defer
ence to the anti-Brttish sentiment
throughout the empire. The VoraweIts
ironically says:
That the grandson feels the need of
visiting his grandmother, just at the
time when she must feel deeply hurt by
the provocative and warlike enterprises
is but natural
ENTENTE WITH ENGLAND.
A prominent diplomat, on this subject
said:
1T is a fact, we'll known to all diplo-
matists and cabinets of Europe, that
Germany has recently met several dis
tinct checks from France, and on occa-
sions favorable TO make common scause
against the common enemy Germany has,
of necessity, had to turn to England. This
is so patent to any one who has studied
the events of the past twelve months,
and the wonder is that Germany is so
backward at seeking an entente. 1t Is
well known that the emperor resented
the popular spite against England, and
this feeling is shared by his advisers"
WAR NEWS COMMENT.
The comment on war news this week is
also more cautious, but not more friendly.
military writer in the Kreuz Zeitung,
reviewing the situation says:

vantages after Nicholsons Mex argues Ill
for their military ability. But the atti-

recent engagements. according to English
accounts, is nothing to brag about. The
discipline seems poor
Continuing, the writer says he believes
the British will heres fter advance in COM
pact masses, numerically superior to the
Beers, whose tactics have hitherto been
to split up their forces, and he thinks this
will tell against the latter. AS to the
outcome of the war the writer thinks
1t is by no means certain, as the enor-
nous size of the seat Of war makes a
guerrilla warfare likely.
The Hamburger Nachrlchten expresses
similar views
In the Vossische Zeitung, an ex-off1cer
of the general staff says:
The history of past wars, and the de-
liberate weighing of all facts and factors,
do not seem to give a bad forecast of the
cause Of the doughty Beers, in spite of
the immense apparent superiority ag ainst
them"

sYMPATHIEs WITH BoERs.

Owing to the British censorship, hardly
any cables from their correspondents at
the seat Of war have yet reached the
German papers. This week the first mail
accounts of events to and including Gen
coe were received. These, however, do
not contain anything materially differing
from the British cabled reports.
The sympathies of the Germans are
strikingly shown in the large number of
public subscriptions for the aid of the
wounded Beers. The Deutsche Zeitung
has collected within d fortnight 100000
marks, and the Hamburg subscriptions
amount to 53.445 marks In Berlin the
consul general Of the Transyaal daily re-
ceives contributions, many coming from
the poor, which already foot up large
sum. In many towns including Leipsic,

been held.

the time largely being occupied with debate
on minor topics.
Mr.. Foraker, of Ohio, offered an amend
ment increasing the expenses of the office
of the sub-treasurer in Cincinnati by $3.50
per annum by the addition of stenog-
rapher and some other expenses.
Mr.. Cockrell In antagonizing the amend
ment remarked;
"Ohio should be satisfied with the distin-
guished honor she has had with the numer-
Gus and mutitudinous appointments which
she has received In all branches OF the pub
lie service, from copyists and messengers
up to the highest in the gift of the people.
THAT argument" suggested Mr.. Foraker,
''does not apply to this senator from
Ohio"
"Then." replied Mr. Cockrell, 1.-THE other
senator has more patronage than ought 10
belong to any one senator"
After some further debate the proposed
increase was reduced to $720 for stenog-
rapher. At 2:20 p. m. the bill was laid ASIDE
for the day.
A message from the president recon-
mending Pacific cable was received ana

PHOTOGRAPHER IN TROUBLE.
Moody Speaks in Tuskegee-City OFF,
Gals Elected.

Tuskegee, February 10.-(Special. )-Some
time ago a photographer named Foster,
who halls from Illinois, pitched his tent
here, where he secured some work and after
collecting the money in advance failed to
deliver the pictures He also borrowed
some chemicals and other material from
Prof. Mueller, which were to be returned
when he made another order.
While at work at the normal school he
stole pair of shoes from one of the stu
dents. From here he went to Prattvile,
where he was soon afterwards arrested
and brought back charged with embez-
zlng Prof. Mueller's goods and fined $40
and costs. The shoes were also found in
his possession. Another warrant was
sworn out against him for petite larceny,
which resulted in a fine being imposed upon
him of SIS. The penalty was made light on
account of sympathy for his wife.
Senator Moody, of Tuscaloosa. author of
the dispensary BILL and Colonel w. F.
Sanford, of Opelika, addressed large au-
dience at the court house last Friday
night Before they spoke. however, Rep

to exclude this county, giving as his main
reason that he had received petition from
those who opposed the bill and none from
those who favored it at the time the vote
was taken.

pose of electing 4 mayor and town council
There was no opposition for mayor and
