SAMOAN SETTLEMENT.

The newspapers, with few exceptions,
express lively satisfaction at the Samoan
settlement. There is no doubt that Count
Won Buelow has gained tremendously in
favor, not only with the emperor, but
with people of almost all shades of opin-
ion. He receives praise on all hands. The
KreuZ Zeitung eXclaims that he deserves
we'll of the country. All the papers, ex-
cept a few Of the pan-German variety,
express confidence that the United S a .es,
as the owner of Tutuila island, will prove
a peaceful and accommodating neighbor.
In the joint Samoan settlement the war
in South Africa has nearly been lost
sight Of. The dispatches from there have
been but little commented upon
REAssEMBLING OF REICHsTAG.
The reichstag will meet Nov. IA, and it
is probable this session will be most live
Iy. There are three very important meas
ures, about which great diversity of opin-
Ion exists. They are the anti-strike bill,
the naval bill and the renewal of COM
merciaI treaties. The first IS not likely to
pass unless the government accepts rad
zeal changes. The naval bill IS more like
ly to succeed. Regarding the treaties,
everybody, including the government, is
al sea, the preliminary work being still
behindhand. Besides these, of especial in
terest to America is the meat inspection
reading at an early day. The shape in
which it was left by the committee is not
acceptable to the government.
If the bill as reported passes with the
clause of the prohibition of pork sausage
and canned meats, the United States witt
not be satisfied, and will Immediately re-
taliate with prohibitory measures on Ger
| man wines. The result will be a regular
| tariff war Soon after the reichstag meets
an Interpolation on the foreign policy OF
| the government will be discussed. Nearly
every party represented will express con-
fidenee-in Count Won Buelow's conduct Of
affairs.
HOHENLOHE MAY RESIGN.
! Prince. .Hohenlohe has not yet made
peace. with the emperor about the pub
licity given TO his naval projects, and 1t
is strongly. probable he will have to re-
sign, though there is still q chance that
another truce will be patched up. It
seems probable that Count won Buelow
will sbs FRINGE Hohenfohe,s successor.
Reports are being circulated about the
successful rnanner4 In which Won BueloW
conducted the Samoan matter and Balk-
ansswithout given offense to Great Brit

tiai benefits for Germany.
sHIPBUILDING BOOM.
Since the emperors Hamburg speech
all leading shipyards and iron works
have had big rise in the price Of their
stocks, some of them increasing 30 or &C
per cent.
The Vorawerts claims that the creation
Of a huge naval port-of-War at Dantzic

station near Plenendorf has been planned

giZes the naval programme. The feeling
on the subject was voiced by Gen. Posen,
who proposed as the motto of the colo

EMPEROR PLEASED.
The emperor Is immensely pleased al
the accumulation of evidences of popu-
lar approval of his canal idea. The see
