J/Ord Salisbury's reference to the American republic as a '-factor in Asiatic anil possibly Kuropean diplo macy which might not conduce to the interests of peace" is widely comment ed upon here as strengthening the pre vailing Impression that the Gormans want to Intervene in the Philippines, All except the extreme Weyle-ites dread the consequences of a resump tion of hostilities by the United States, which they are aware would probably involve the Ions of the Canaries, and this. In spite of the present German lining of the cloud, remains the irrcslstable motive that must eventually determine the cabinet to reconsider the instructions that It is now believed to have dent to the Span ish peace commissioners. The ministry of tiunnec tins in hand a project for the conversion of the Spanish exterior bonds and the funded debts of Cuba end the Philippine*, the idea being to maintain ths treasury guarantee* of Philippine bonds* and t.'ubuu bonds of the 0 uiul *> per cent denominations, but to reduce the in terest to i’i and .'i per cent respective ly. This partially accounts for the firmness of Cuban bonds in Paris and licrlin, where speculation in them is unusually active. The Libera! advised the Spanish peace commissioner* to leave Paris after lodging a protest against the de mands of the Americans. The Spanish newspapers are angry at the Marquis of Salisbury, whose speed) at the Guild hall banquet on Wednesday night they declare to have been “merely a glorification of brute strength and a denial of the rights of the weaker.” Among the newspapers only El Epoca (Conservative) and El Correo (Liberal) counsel moderation. The public is so indignant at the at titude of the American commissioners that Hcnor Scgasta and his ministers will need uncommon self possession to prevent u rasli suspension of the peace negotiations.

ItKRl.lN, Xov. 14 Telegram* from Christiana announcing that tin* Storth ing passed a vote to remove the Swed ish emblem from tin* Norwegian flag, furnishes striking evidence that all the attempts on the part of King Oscar to reconcile the difficulties between his two kingdoms have failed, and that the antipathy between the two nation* is more nente than ever. . There is not the slightest chance of King Oscar ratifying this vote of the Norwegian legislature. Thus the crown will once more find itself In open conflict, not alone with the Nor wegian government lmt also with the entire Norwegian legislature, irre spective of iKjiitfeal party. it is difficult to conceive two coun tries more entirely opposed to one an other than Sweden and Norway. The Swedes are conservative, aristocratic and monarchical, whereas the Nor wegians are democratic and even re publican, most of them openly ex pressing their preference for a repub lican form of government to the rule of King Oscar. Norway openly op poses military alliance with (lermany. Sweden advocates it. Anti-dynastic agitations in Kurope have the sympa thies of the Norwegians, tho oppo sition of the Swedes. The Swedes are protectionists, the Norwegians free traders. The only issue of the present situa tion can ho the eventual proclamation of a republic liy Norway, possibly under the protection of France and Russia, unless Sweden succeeds, with the help of (lermany, and after a bloody civil war, in reducing the Nor wegians to subjection und in depriving them of every vestige of autonomy. SPAIN AND RUSSIA. <'a»»llil N;ijr» I hr Cr.tr l< Most I rl.n.lly to tint liillixl Statmi. Wasihsotox, Nov. H.—The Russian ambassador, Count Cassini, who In just hark from an extended vacation at the sea shore and mountains, speaking to day of the Philippines, said that Hits sia naturally felt much Interest in the status of these islands, owing to their proximity to the Kastern possessions of Hussia. There wns no warrant, however, he said, for the reports from Paris that. Hussia hud been ap|>ealcd to by Npain to limit the claims of the United States in the Philippines. He denied I hat the powers had ever con templated interfering during the war. ami said that (treat l!ritain hid never had occasion to protest in favor of the United States, Russia's attitude to ward America, the ambassador said, had always been most friendly. Count Cassini said there was no truth in the recent reports that Russia had seized the important Chinese treaty port of Neu Chwang, and that the seizure had been followed by great activity in tho Rritish naval yards, with a prospect of an open rup ture between Russia and (treat Itri tain. Present conditions, he said, gave assurance of continued friendly rela tions between Russia and (ireat Itri* tain. There had been no confirmation, lie saiti, of tile report that Russia had occupied Neu Chwang and he |>oiiited out that such an occupation by Rus sia was unnecessary, aa she had already acquired the most advun tageous naval and military post in that locality, Port Arthur, and a com mercial purl at i alien tv an. Port Arthur is not only valuable as a naval and military base, but it will serve iih the southern terminus of the if rent trans-Siberian railway when the project shall be carried through. It is pushed forward rapidly and the ambassador says the present outlook is for the completion of the railway within three and one-half years. One line runs north to Vladivostok, where the harbor upon the Pacific ia closed for four mouths of a year, while the southern line terminating at Port Arthur will give Russia a Pacific port open the year around, both for mili tary and commercial purpose* Count Cassini denies that lie is to be transferred to I*undoii, as was report* ed, because Ills long residents in China as representative of Russia when Port Arthur was acquired, would make his services of special value at this time.

The Mexican dollar, lie points out, lias !»oen in use for 250 years, in spite of laws against it No sudden change, lie believe* should be made. “The cedilla, or head tax. which lias given an income of $16,000,000 a year, has been a most popular ineasti General Whittier say*. “It has varied from Hi! (formerly $5) a head, to $ 57.50. Advocates of the single lax uu laud might make a strong case on these Islands. 1 think the main revenue of tlie Itritish government In India is de rived from the land tax. It is worthy of consideration here." Thu Spanish governor sold the monopoly of the iui|>oi't ou opium for $.'50,000 for threo years. A tax of $6 (Mexican) a pound has l>een Imposed, which will probably result in exten sive smuggling.
