THEY WANT TO GO HOME
MEMBERS OF THE REIcHsTA0
 ARE TIRED.
For the Thirteenth Tims They Have Passed Resolution Providing for Their Own Payment.
 Chinese Matters.


 Reichstag want to so home. after dis posing of the few pending matters. Tn, adjournment will be until the end O November, when the Government ha, promised to present the tariff bill whici in the meanwhile will be thoroughly considered by the various State govern ments and Bundesrath. An adjourn ment is really necessary now becaus' the attendance in the Reichstag dur ing the past fortnight has dwindlet steadily and important measures have repeatedly been passed by a few scort of members. This. doubtless, was ow. ing partially to the fact that member: of the Reichstag do not yet receive any remuneration for their services, mol Feven free railroad passes. The Reichstag this week. for the thirteenth time, passed a resolution by a five-sixths majority to the effect thai members should be paid so much peI day; but 1t is known that the Emperor and the Bundesrath still oppose any remuneration and will not confirm the Reichstag resolution.
 When the members disperse next week the house will have agreed t1 . prolongation of the provisional com mercial arrangement between Germany and Great Britain until December 31 lEUO, u du tInRSEt1i ofQGE iGtyh& v duty on logwood and to . supplement- ary duty on coffee and cocoa from Hayti.
 The -Germanism in part of the American press is keenly felt here, all the more because nobody knows the reason. for it. The Foreign Office Is kept busy denying one unfounded story after another, intended to ascribe. ra- pacious schemes to Germany.
 The officials of the 4united States Em- bassy fully confirm the statements of the German Foreign Office. The seri- ous and influential German newspa- pers have hitherto not paid much att tention to this renewed "Deutschen hetze'' {German baiting) in America, but the Berlin Neuste Nachrichten (Conservative) has pointed out how differently sensational news from America, apparently conflicting with German interest here, is received. It instances the report about the Azores. and says: 'ANobody here planes the United States for trying to secure a coaling station in the Azores or else- where."
 The Tageblatt's New York specials referring to anti-German utterances in the American press have been followed in every case by prompt official denial here of the imputations made.
 The China question is still uppermost here. The Cologne Gazette prints 8 St. Petersburg special saying Russia Is hastening to flnish the Manehuria Rail- road,by puEchasing locomotives in America taking temporarily the rolling stock from the Russo European roads and greatly increasing the number of railroad officials. etc. enabling Russia before long to throw a couple Of army corps into Manchurta by rail. The paper further says M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister, who recently visited St. Petersburg, pledged Russia Frances support in the Manchurian question.
 The figures accompanying the Brit ish- German commercial provisorium show both the British imports into Ger many and the German imports into Great Britain are steadily increasing. Since 1887 Germany's exports to Great Britain have risen from 701, ,000, ,0e0 to 912, ,000, 900 marks and great Britain's from 661, ,0oo.0OO to s4o.00O.e0O marks. German sugar exports however. have decreased.
 MT. Andrew D., White, the United States Ambassador, and Mrs. White are obliged to leave their present resi- dence on Lenne Strasse, July l. Mrs. White is going to the seashore for the summer and MT. White is going to stop at a Berlin hotel.
 Madame Sembrich began today a short session with Don Pasquale" at the Royal Opera, which was over crowded. She was accorded an enthu- siastic reception and showed she had completely recovered her voice.
 Officials here say the withdrawal of the American troops from China is in accordance with an agreement be- tween Count von Waldersee and Gen. eral Chaffee. The officials say also vOn Waldersee has not reported any recent disagreement with General Chaffee
