return thanked the ladies la-dies and declared the lively Interest taken by women in politics was a step forward in the path of progress At the conclusion of the exehanoellors response the ladles

rejoic-ing All the members of Prince Bis marcks family have arrived at Freid rlchsruhe in order to take part in the birthday celebration So many deputations depu-tations have been announced to arrive at Prince Bismarcks home tomorrow that it has been found necessary to courteously intimate to them that the prince will be unable to receive all who desire to call upon him The suppression In Alsace of the Socialist So-cialist organ Yolks Zeitung by Prince Von HohenlcheSchlllinsfurst the lieutenant lieu-tenant of the emperor in AlsaceLor raine Is strongly condemned by the Radical and Liberal press which attribute at-tribute to the prince the motive of a petty desire to show the dictator clause of the exceptional law is not aimed against socialism but against the persistent opponents of German annexation and which has been a dead letter for ten years past still exists I Failing to oust Von Caprivi from office the agrarians are now aiming at a higher game They declare the RussoGerman commercial treaty wae carried by the personal Influence of th emperor which they claim makes itself It-self felt in every Important question They denounce this socalled absolutism absolut-ism as a danger to the monarchy and to the empire The shortness of the stay of Emperor Em-peror Francis Joseph at Abazzia together to-gether with the absence of the leading statesmen of the two empires pre eludes the Idea that the meeting between be-tween the emperors at the seaside was other than ceremonious Imperial Visits Coniu slight The visit ol the imperial family of Germany to Abazzia is running up an enormous expense bill Some Idea of the cost of this trip to the shores of the Adriatic sea may be gathered when it Is mentioned the special trains which have been run to Abazzia first with the empress and then with the emperor cost 10000 marks each journey Then there Is the expense of the traveling of the people attached to the suites of the empress and emperor the hire of the yacht Chrlstobel the rent of the two villas at Abazzia the expense of living there the cost of entertainment gifts to the poor people of the neighborhood neigh-borhood etc and it may be roughly estimated that the sojourn of the emperor em-peror and empress at the seaside resort will amount to between 400000 and 300 000 marks The womens movement in German Is malting great progress Tile congress called by the lady delegates to the Worlds fair at Chicago met her Thursday last It Is the intention of the ladles to form a union ot all the charitable and humane societies In Germany Ger-many in order that

beneficial bene-ficial effect In order to avoid politics the ladles confined their discussion to questions interesting women but the elegatesMeclded to exclude social dera crats from their meetings
