Locksmiths worked the whole day, but
failed to unlock the door. The Ber-

Il Baron Marshall Won Bieberstein, the
new German ambassador to Great
Britain, is now occupying q position of
tremendous Importance. Before being
ambassador at Constantinople, he was
the foreign secretary Of Caprivi and
Hohenlohe, the first and second chan
cellors after Bismarck. The baron
headed the German delegation to the
Hague conferences q few years ago.
The ambassador Is q tall man, who
wears high military boots and spurs
He has also the Bismarckian solidity,
Iucidity and brilliance Of mind, with
not little of the Bismarckian man
ner, that curious mixture Of master
iulness and affability, of brutality and
good humor, Of abruptness and indi-
rection, of Prussian frankness and
Italian craft. Yet he halls from b.
den and is south German.
An immense deposit Of potash was.
disc )vered near Kalusz, Galicia, some
time ago. The discovery received at.
tention, especially in America, which
1t the time was engaged In contro.
versy with the German government
On account of the heavy burdens i'm
posed on American farmers and chem
Ical factories by the Prussian potash
monopoly. Mr.. Mack, commercial
expert for the department of state,
came to Vienna from Berlin to study
the question and try and effect an
agreement with the owners Of the Ga
lioian potash lands. Mr.. Mack
was unsuccessful. The interested
parties have ultimately succeeded in
forming a corporation for the exporta-
ton Of the Galician deposits. The
capital ($2,400,00 is furnished by the
Vienna Lander bank and the Indue-
trial bank Of Lemberg. The erection
Of building begins soon.
