FLUTTER IN GERMAN PRESS.
Greatly Exercised Over Alliance Talk
of Mr.. Chamberlain.

Berlin. Dec 1.-The use of the word
alliance" in Mr.. Chamberlain's speech
at Leicester has caused a general fiut-
ter in the German press. The chau-
whist organs protest vigorously. The
Kreuz Zeitung. the organ of the mill
tary party, comments with scorn and
indignation. Other journals. including
the Lokal Anzeiger. assert that the
meeting of Count Won Buelow and Mr..
Chamberlain in London was productive
of results calculated to smooth away
some difficulties which had arisen in
colonial questions, but that no alliance
exists, although the conference be-
tween the German and British states
men at Windsor castle left an equally
good impression upon all. AS bearing
upon this, the Lokal Anzeiger adds:
Germany and Great Britain are
guided by the same sincere wish to re-
move in a friendly manner occasional
subordinate differences. At the same
time Germany does not intessS to fight
other peoples battles"
The Vossische Zeitung says: I'VE
also wish to see Germany, Great Brit

MINING BOOMING IN IDAHO.
General Prosperity Throughout the
State Being Enjoyed.
(Specinl to The Herald.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-Senator
Heitfeld of Idaho said today that the
mining industry is extending. owing to
the long strike in the Occur d'-Alene
district, Idaho, which caused many
miners to go prospecting on their own
responsibility.
There have been discovered in this
manner several deposits OF ore. such
as, for instance. the Buffalo Hump
district, which promises to be one OF
the great mining camps of the north
west; the Seven Devils district is also
doing remarkably well, and is a new
camp. There is a sign of general pros
perity throughout the state. which must
be accredited TO the fact that new and
hitherto undeveloped and uncultivated
districts are being settled and ex
plotted.
Concerning politics, Senator Heitfeid
says that there has been slight STAN
pede from the camps OF the silver Re-
publicans back into their old party, but
the stampede has not been large enough
to change the politics of the state,
which will be entirely favorable to the
Bryan doctrines and platform.
Silver is still the main issue in the
state" he said, land will win, but it Is
impossible to even conjecture what
course the people will follow in politics
of purely local import. The term of
my colleague in the senate will expire
next year, and it is hard to tell at this
time who will be his successor

Proposition-British Ambassador
May Leave Paris.

Paris, Dec. 1.-Some of the newspa-
pers attach considerable Importance to
the utterances of Joseph Chamberlain
at Leicester yesterday. and consider
they show that Emperor Williams visit
to England was partially political. The
majority. however. characterize certain
of Mr. Chamberlains declarations as
empty threats and regard the sugges-

as simply eccentric.

prospect of new triple alliance"
