ceived in France, though some see in it
only desire to visit the Paris exposi-

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. IA, 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 quiet which the papers can

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 net 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

Washington, but others point out that

OTIS AMUSING.
The press comments upon the war In
the Philippines and the decision of Presi

American troops there are not hopeful
