Probably Prince Bismarck will frankly disclose how completely the English government has been appraised of every phase of German volicy, asembodied in the East Africa bill. He is desirous of preventing the Eng- lish liberals from making party capital from the concert of governments, every suggestion coming rrom Lord Sulis- bury during the negotiations, has been ac- cepted hiere. The chancellor will therefore announce absolute harmony iu the coopera- tions. The Morier mcident has not had the slight- est effect in the relations between the two governments, Diplo circles are con- fident that Prince Bismarck has a strong card in reserve against Morier, and will probably oblige Lora Salisbury to take oficial notice of the affair by transferring Morier from St. Petersburg to some post that has less influence in European politic The Geffecken correspondence, covering 180 folios, has boen submitted to the bundes- rath. pondence, but the government is beginning to learn that the country has had a surfeit of Geffeciken, marck will chose to It was intended to publish the corres- Bosides, public opivion 1s matur- ing in favor of Geffecken.

The sewi-oficial press con- tinues to give favorable extracts from the corresponden but otherwise has ceased to refer to the matter, The ofticial press of Vienna upholds the action of Prirce Bismarck, Count Von Taafe's organ, the Presse, holds that the prosccution was forced upou the government by the exi- gencies of actual politics, and denounces Geffecker as hardly waiting for his royal friend to sink into the grave before publish- ing us diary. This public comment, which is entirely in taste with the German official press, does not disblose the real opinion of the court ofiiciul circles of Vienna, which censure Geffecken and condemu the unwi course of Hismarck. The Austrian official mind cannot understand the Berlin govern ment's fighting its opponents by disclosures affecting the imperial family. Private let ters from Vienna convey the impression of pretended surprise at the folly of Bismarck The malicious reports of the ill-health of the chancclior originated with the Kreuz Zeitung, the organ of the ultra-conservatives and orthodox declarants associated with Dr, Stoecker. ‘The reports represent the yearn fngs of the orthodox to see Bismarck pros trated, Iis life in Berlin under his modified work agrees well with him, He walks daily in the vicinity of Willhelmstrasse, scem ingly but in reality guarded by several polico agents, His residence is also guarded o Willbelmstrasse and Koe- niggraetz His housechold is liwited, twelve servants being sufticient for the simple iifo lod by himself and princess.

Cnicaco, Jan. 19.--[Special Telegram to Tue Bee. |—~The announcement this morn- ing that the 5 cent differential rate in favor of St. Lous,on corn from the shipping points south of Burlington, would be hereafter but 2 cents, or in other words, that the rates to St. Louis would be advanced 3 cents a hun dred, has caused the greatest excitement in St. Louis. St. Louis stuppers said it would ruin the corn business hitherto enjoyed by that city, drawing it all to Chicago. The Union Pacific made the first move, and the Northwestern was not far behind it Me- cullough, general freight agent of the North- western road, was asked what position the Northwestern would taie in the matter. “We are working for Chicago,” said Me- Cullough, ‘“and I think the raising of the rate on corn to St. Louis is a very good thing —for the road and Chicago—and I telegraphed our agent at Omaha, Mgorchouse, that the raise was just what Chicago wanted, and to take advantage of it.” “If the other roads agree to advance the rate to St. Lows will the effectbe as _disas- trous as the St Louis speculators allege.” McCullough smiled. “It will not hurt Chicago, anyhow, al- though I dan’t think any oue will be ruined,” was all he would suy The Burlington is one of the most important rouds running into St. Louis from the corn belt, and that line will probably not agree to the adyance with as much readiness as did the Northwestern, but it is only a question of time, as the Union Pacific would take a good dealof the “Q's" busin to Chicago should mnot the latter road come to time. There has been a heap of telegraphing to and fro between the Bur- lington oftices here and the Merchants’ Ex. change at St. Louis, to-day, and grain deal- ers are making pathetic appeals to the Bur- lington not to agree to the rate. The ang swers have been non-committal an doubtless surprised the St Louis ‘men not a little. They are still on the tiptoe of expectaney, Fréight Agent Paul Morton and General Manager Ripley, who have the whole matter in charge, left the city this morning, ostensibly to attend to official bus- iness, but really, it was said, to evade the supplications of the trantic St. Louis brokers, “It is ubout time the differential was lowered said a ulroad freight agent, whose road is humpered by the St. Louis dif: ferential, he difference in the price of St. Louis and Chicago corn is not material, and why the brokers there should be favored any more than at any other city is beyond my comprehension. With the differential lowered the two cities will be placed ou an equal foot- ing, and tne result will be that St. Louis people will have to do some hustling.” The same authority predicted that all roads will nave agreed to the advance a week hence. - Report on Sugar Frauds.

He has a good word for cafe keepers and cooks and waiters, and makes a bid for the popularity of all the Panama sharcholders, and dines with royal- ists, and clinks glasses with imperialists, and smokes with radicals, in fact he runs with the hare and hunts with the hounds. Last night the Vicomte Kerveguen gave a in honor of Le Brave General. gold plates. the Duchesse grand dinne The dinner Among those present were « Uzet, the Comte et Comtesse Gramont, and the Vi Comtesse Di Fredern, All present wore Boulanger colors, carn tions, and Mume De Fredern, after dinner, sang “En Revenant de la Roi Vie,” and all es, shouting was served on red present clinked champagne gl “*Hourah! Bravo! Vive Boulanger! Vive the 2ith of January!” The general seemed highly pleased and had o pretty compliment for each of kis charming admirers, The electoral campaign becomes each day more lively. To-day the grand battle of the Lill posters came off. All the trams of the metropolis—and altogether there are 20,000 of them—are on the pay lists of Boulanger or Jacques, A squad of Jacques’ tramps with Jacques’ posters, ap- peared with buckets full of paste and dozens of brooms, and wagons full of posters. They covered every square inch of the street with posters,*Vote for Jacques,”*Pas de Saden,” ete. Ten minutes afterwards a squad of Boulanger tramps appeared, also with buck- ets full of paste, aud with brooms and thous- ands of posters. Inafew minutes all of Jacques’ posters were combletely hidden be- tween the red, yellow and green placards of Boulanger. Once in a while the squads would have a collision, then the bucicets of paste and wooden shoes flew through the air in a way to do credit to Zola’s famous de- scription of the soap-suds fight between the two bianchisseuse en bateau favoir, Every street in Paris has become a veritable Kallidescope, and long suffering walls are covered with a six-inch thickness of election posters. Such axe the incidents of the election, but the struggle itself continues very much as last week. All conservative republicans and many liberal conservatives have decided not to vote at all, asthey decline to have their political virtue contaminated by voting for Boulanger or Jacques. Jules Simon taunts the abstainers with bringing ruin on themselyes, and compares them to Buridan’s ass between two stacks of hay. To-day Mandre Heurteau,wno under the signature of in the Journal Des de Dcbatts, has scored a brilliant success as a political writer, and who has won for the Debatts the pseudonym, the “Bonderier of France,” retorts that what the order loving citizens of Paris are waiting for is a second ballot, caused by the voting for scattering candidates, and then, suddenly, when the iron is hot, vote for some good solid candidate like General Schiith or General Saussier. M. Hurteau says it is not a case like Buridan’s ass, for that famous ass had hay on each side of him, whereas, in the present nstance, the Parisians has on one Boulanger's arsenic, and on the other, Jacques strychnine that it is certain to touch either. Meanwhile Jacques continues ham- mering away at his proclamatioas and ad- dresses, and his friends procliaim Jacques as a stalking horse to crush Boulanger.

The cer tificate of the presiding officers of the Dela- ware legislature to the election of Anthony Higgins as senator from that state was pre- sonted and referred to the committee on priviloges and elections. The senate at 12:20 resumed consideration of the tariff bill, and Yook up the sugar schedule (E). No amendment was offered. The paragraph asto pen knives and razors was then taken up, the question being on the amendment reported to it the 10th inst. Vest oppposed the amendment, Mr. Vest opposed tho amendment. He compured the rates of duty in the present law, the rates in the seanate substitute, and the rates in the pending amendment. in order to prove that on lower grades, which constitute 0 per cent of the importations, the duty was increased, both in the substi- tute and amendment, largely out of propor- tion to the increase in the former and more expensive grades, Mr. Aldrich said that Mr. Vest's amend- ment had no practical application, and quoted figures on foreign and domestic goods to prove his assertion. The debate was continued by Messrs. Plumb and Teller, the latter of whom twit- ted Mr. Vest with haviog made no argument against the duty on sugar, and asked was it because that duty was in the Mills bill, or was 1t because of the peculiar locality o! the sugar industry Finally the discussion of the amendment was closed and agreed to without division. A message was received from the house announcing the passage of a bill for the ad- mission of South Dakota, with amendments and on motion of Mr, Platt the bill and amendments were referred to the committee on territories. The tariff bill was then resumed and para- graph 172 was amended 80 as to muke the rate on table knives valued at not more than &1 por dozen, 15 cents per dozen instead pf 20, On motion of Mr. Allison, the gun para- graph (181) was amended by making the tax on uns valuedat no more than §6 each $2; valued at more than $6 and not more than 212 each, #4; valued at more than $12 each, $6: and, in addition thereto, 35 per cent ad valorem, making the tax on single-barrel breech-loading shot-guns $l and 35 per cent ad valorem and on revolving pistols valued at more than $1.50, 40 cents; valued av more than $1.50 each, $1, with 35 per centvad valorem inaddition.

On motion of Mr. Allison paragraph 107, as toglass bottles, was amended by striking out of the first sentence the word ‘‘plain,” oceurring three times. On motion of Mr. Allison paragraph 158, as to unenumerated articles from iron o stecl sheets, plates, etc., was amended by making it apply also to like articles from “tin plate.” Mr. Alliscn moved to insert as an addi- tional paragraph the following: ‘*‘IPoint rollers suitable for use in printing wall paper or floor cloths, $10 per roller of two and one- half feet.” Laid over.

Leave wus granted to Mr. Spinola of New York to file a minority report. The house then went into committee of the whole for the consideration of the fortifica- tion appropriation bill, ‘The pending question was a point of order raised by Mr. Townshend of Illinois that the committee on appropriations had exceeded its jurisdiction in incorporating in the meas- ure provisions for heavy ordnance for the armament of seacoast defenses, and that all such provisions should be ruled out of the Dbill. The chairman overruled the point of order. The position taken by Messrs. Townsend, Cutcheon and other members of the military affairs committee was that the subject of ordnance was one over which that committee had exclusive jurisdiction. The committee then rose and the bill was passed. At 3 o'clock public business was suspended and the house proceeded to the consideration of resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the house at the death of k. W.
