The scene was one OF unusual brilliancy,

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Everything during the last few days was
driven into the background by the court
festivities. However. there was a number
of interesting things outside that need COM
ment. Emperor Williams congratulatory
telegram to the President of Brazil is In
terpreted as being intended as a definite
answer to the insinuations imputing Ger
many with designs on southern Brazil. The
National Zeitung says: There is no need
to be reminded of the Monroe doctrine.
Never were such aims seriously entertained
In political circles in Germany. and such
annexation schemes seem likewise impos-
sible In the future In Germany II will be
highly appreciated if German settlements
in the United States or Brazil preserve
their language and affection for the father
land. Acquired United States or Brazilian
citizenship by our former countrymen, will
however. never be interfered with on Ger
manys part. In this sense the Emperor's
utterance of sympathy is symptomatie
linguistic.
The United States ambassador Andrew
D. White, conferred several times this
week with the minister of foreign affairs
Count Won Buelow. on the subject of Ger
man-American imports and exports Mr.
White specially dwelt on the fact that be-
sides the large increase lately of Ger
manys exports to the United States Ger
many had all along been the sole govern
ment to profit by the transportation both
ways. thus largely building up German
shipping, notably that of Bremen and
Hamburg.
An Anglo-German syndicate has been
formed with 100000 marks capital for ex-
plotting the German southwest Africa cop
per deposits near Otavi and the railroad
thence 10 Tiber bay. Professor Schmellers
annual contains an article strongly arguing
that Germany economically must choose
between closer tariff relations with Russia
or the United States. The author contends
that closeness with both is impossible. and
that, therefore, Germany should choose
Russia, as the exports TO that country are
largely increasable.
REFORM IN HIGHER SCHOOLS.
The agitation for reform in the higher
schools of Germany IL now assuming for
midable proportions. The Berlin Technical
High School has sent the minister of edu-
cation strong memorial recommending a

German Engineers and three influential
scholastic associations after demonstrating
the present untenable conditions passed

have been widely printed.
