BERLIN, Jan. 20.-During the coming
week the naval bill will be the main polit-
ical topic 1t is considered it will reach
the reichstag early in the week, as the
bundesrath has expressed beforehand its
readiness to pass it. It's fate in the reichs-
tag; parliamentarians now say, probably
is by no means assured, though it is pre-
dicted that enough members Of the Cen
trist party will support the bill to enable
its passage. The force of recent events
has been telling altogether in favor of the
measure, and an enormous amount of agi-
tation on the subject has been made by
the fleet enthusiasts throughout the en-
pire. Judging from the present prospects
the correspondent of the Associated Press
the emperors whole heart hangs, will be
passed, after number of assurances and
explanations about there being no need
of new taxes, by a small majority.
The press comments literally on yester-
days Interpolation in the reichstag on
the seizure of German steamers by Brit
ish cruisers. The Lokal Anzegier says:
1.-The whole substance of the British an
swer was known beforehand, and this pc
culiar parliamentary action might have
been spared u.s."
The zuringen Zeitung expresses the
opinion that the Interpolation took dig
nified and proper attitude
The Vossische Zeitung says that Count
Won Buelow shows as much tact as ener-
gy, and we'll deserved the ovation the
reichstag yesterday accorded him.
The Deutsche Tages zeitung, with the
whole Agrarian party, is not satisfied
with the results. The paper says:
"In the reichstag there was loud APP
plause after Won Buelow's speech; in the
land, we can assure the delegates, there
was bitter disappointment"
The National Zeitung says:

The vorwaerts calls the Interpolation
"a miscarred farce"
The Post, in enumerating what Great
Britain offers in reparation, says:
Truly, all these are surceases on which
we may rejoice heartily, because they
mean that full satisfaction is given to
/ Germany"
The Tageblatt in its comments re-
marks:
ENGLAND now knows fully that in the
German empire she faces a country which
will not yield a hairs breadth from what
1t conceives to be right. The foreign
minister and the reichstag both carefully
avoided shouting triumph at Great Brit
aims backdown, but people in England
will observe a lesson from this reserve,
that the German empires moderate pol
icy, supported by a vast majority of it's
parliament, cannot be irritated with i'm
punity."

that France will provide herself with a

RAILWAY BUDGET.
In the chamber of deputies practically
the whole week was devoted to a dis
cussion Of the railway budget when a
number of speakers compared a number
of features of the French railway work
ings with the American system. M. Va
lent, Socialist deputy, representing one
of the Seine districts, demanded the adop-
ton of the American system of auto
matte car couplers, declaring that half
the mortality among French railway men
was due to the imperfect French sys-
tenn Of couplers The director Of rail-
ways replied that this matter was under
consideration and that undoubtedly a
suitable system would shortly be in
stituted. ....-.-
The elections for the renewal of 10 seats
in the senate, which will occur JAM %,
are keenly anticipated, as the result will
indicate the feeling Of the country toward

policy and the high court prosecutions,
there is a strong Moderate Republican OPP
position to the ministerial candidates.
The most interesting contest is in the
constituency Of Loire Inferieure, where
Gen. MERCER, the inveterate antagonist
of Dreyfus, and one of the Nationalist
idols, is pitted against the government
candidate, a Radical.

Minneapolis AbstractOr's Discovery
Not Great Sensation.

minneapolis AUSIfactOfS discovery
Not a Great Sensation.
Albert Phelps, a Minneapolis abstrac-
tor, has made discovery that, by an act
passed by the legislature in 1866, a clerical
error was made in describing the bound
aries of Hennepin and Ramsey counties,
and that as no amendment to the law
has ever been made, all land east of the
Mississippi river in sections 8, s, II, 20, 20
and 80 is in Hennepin county. The land
covered by the find of the Minneapolis
abstract man includes about six square
miles, including a part of st. Anthony
Park and the Minnesota transfer
Deputy County Surveyor Johnson, when
asked about the discovery yesterday, said
he did not think 1t amounted to much, al
though he had not given the matter any
attention.
The officials In the county auditors Of
f1ce were much surprised and Deputy
Griswod stated that he had never heard
of such question being raised The
fact that the property in the district
had always paid taxes in Ramsey county
would, in his opinion, cover any clerical
error which might have crept into the
description thirty years ago.
Assistant County Attorney Zollman did
not care to give an off-hand opinion on
the point, and said he was too busy to
look The matter up just at present. He
did not think, however, there was much
to the discovery of the Minneapolis man.
