M Annin. Nov. i t. Ths marked aym*
, pathy for Spain expressed almost
unanimously by the Gurmnn nopa
pers. coupled with the purchases at
Kerlin and Frankfort of Spanish atrl
I Cuban bonds, the German holdings of
which huve been quadrupled during
the last three months, gives exagger
ated significance to the intended visit
of the Herman emperor and empress.
It is not yet known what the emper
or's plans may ho on his arrival at
Cartagena next Saturday. hut as soon
as the UohenxoUern reaches that
naval station the imperial pair will In
invited by- an autograph letter from
the queen regent to visit Madrid.
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.
IvOHPox. Nov. I?.—All London pa
pers comment on thn proposed visit of
thr kaiser to Spain.
The l<ondon I aily Chronicle says:
“Emperor William's visit to Spain is
probably connected with Germany's
ambition to acquire the Canaries, see
ing that she cannot get » coaling sta
tion in the Philippines. lint there is
not the remotest chance of war over
the latter. The fact Hint, the British
i:on and the American eagle will be on
the same side is the beat guarantee of
peace. ”
The Ixmdon Standard, which ex
presses some suspicion a* to the kais
er s intentions, says: "Possibly Spain
is mad enough to try to renew the
war, but European j»eaca will not be
fui tlicr disturbed.”

Mr. Tolbert, accompanied by Solici

house and had an extended Interview
with President McKinley. The Presi

action, if any, might be taken. How
ever, he requested Mr. Tolbert to see
the attorney general and make him a
full statement of the ait nation as lie

The department of justiee lias taken
steps to obtain official information

taken to a.ford ample protection to

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.

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.

Wasiiixotox, X«v. 12. — Charles A.
Whittier, brigadier general *>f volun
teers, now collector o( customs at Ma
nila, under dale of Nept. Hi, has nub
milled a report of hia observation*
upon the condition of thing* in Ma
nila and the I’hitippiue islands, and
suggestion* uk to the method* to be
pursued pending tin* occupation
of I he country which may be decided
upon, lie says: “The moat important
questions are the currency, revenue
(including the cedilla, or head tax),
opium, and the udmisKion of the Chin
ese, These are very grave questions
and cannot be decided under a brief
consideration."
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.
Willi regnrd to the island of l.u/.on,
the general says: “1 went over the
line of the Manila railway, l'.’.i mi Ion
in length, running northward from
Manila. The country three mile* out
from Manila in occupied by the insur
gents for the whole distance. The
line Ih in fair order. Telegraphic eom
iniinicationN arc destroyed in many
placet! and will probably require a
month for their restoration. The line
has opened and developed a country of
most extraordinary fertility. It ice is
the principal product; there is
much sugar; a small amount of
indigo on the northern part of the
line; possibilities of cotton, coffee and
utmost, anything. The stations nro at
short intervals, in accordance with or
ders from the Spanish government,
which subsidized the line. 1 have
never seen a country of such splendid
productive power. For the first loo
miles almost all of it is under cultiva
tion. From there to the terminus is a
different nnd prettier country, with
high cocoanul palm treeM of rare
beauty; but not yet as much cultivated
as those to the south.
“The islands to the south, I’anay
(Iloilo being the principal port and the
second of these Islands), Cebil, Samar,
Mindanao and possibly the Kulii or
.lolo, archipelago, should tie invest
igated as soon as our relations with
tlie Spanish permit. I am extremely
anxious to make this Journey at the
invitntion of Knglish merchants thor
oughly acquainted with the islands.
If one-half they say of the richness of
these be true, it would be. a most val
uable. acquisition to the United States.
1 desire no place here except upon the
ship to return to America, but I am so
thoroughly impressed with the wealth
and beauty of the country and the
most peculiar conditions existing here
that I am most anxious for the suc
cess of our government In working out
this experiment with the best fruition.

increase of industries contingent upon
our occupancy they should amount,

Vikisi*, Nov. 13.—A fierce duel be
tween Herr Wolff and the Polish dep
uty. Chevalier dc On lew or 8, ia the sen
sation of the hour here. The cause of
the duel was Wolff's remark during
Tuesday's sitting of the Ueicharath
that the poles are. a swarm of parasites
sucking the life blood of the Austrian
nation.
This insult roused the anger of thu
Polish deputies, who rose as one man
nnd ran at Wolff The latter was
quickly surrounded by Herman depu
ties and a sharp tussle ensued between
the representatives of the two nation
alities. Wolff was badly knocked about
by the Poles. When the storm sub
sided, tic Hniewsx declared in lielialf of
the Polish party that itrepudated with
scorn the ‘■insults of a street uad like
Wolff."
Wolff immediately dial longed do
Qniffwos*. The latter selected swords
and the duel was fought to-day under
life or death conditions Wolff is short,
slightly built uud lame in ono leg. Do
Hnlcwoss is short and stout. Uo for
merly was an army officer.
When the word of command was
given the two deputies began a furious
combat., thrusting and parrying with
bewildering rapidity. l)o Uniewosz,
in Ills rage, directed blow after blow
at his adversary. Wolff parried the
ox-offluer's wild onslaughts with cool
judgment and within five minutes
caught his rival off his guard and
wounded hi in in two places. Do
Gnlewosx's head was cut while a
part of his right hand was left
banging by thu skin, lint in spite of
his serious injuries and the umplro's
command to cause, tin Hnlewosz fol
lowed his udversary, slushing at him
savagely until his own seconds seized
and disarmed him. He was retnovod
to his house, where lie will beixmfined
several weeks.
