Loxnoy, June 20.—The indications are that the government strongly desires to let the destitute alien question sleep, but their inde- pendent supporter, Mr. Jennings. will not ailow the matter to rest. Mr. Jennings focls that he has got hold of a subjeot placing him in support with oue side of the English work- ngmen and is loth to abandon an agitation that will bring some electoral support. The government, on the other hand, is aware that an attempt to legislate against immigration from the continent, though it might gratify asmall clique of men in parlisment and asection of the working classes, would bo considered by the country at large—consery- atives and liberals—as a violation of the na- tional tradition and an insult to the still pre- vailing idea that England is o refuge for the oppressed of all nations. It must be said, by the way, however, that 4t the destitute alien had ever flowed 'iuto England in such num- bers as to render his preseace a burden to traders, the workmen .Or to poor rates there is little doubt that the fine sentiment about England as a universal rofuge would have undergone a decisive change. But recent statistical research has confirmed in figures what the country has felt, that the alicn, Jew or other, almost nowhere cheapens pro- Quction or increases the pressure of popula- tion, ‘The outery is a factious one, still the afore- mentjoned parliamentary clique want a_bill ed upon lines simildr to the American atien act, and as several supporters of the proposed measure are thorough going con- servatives the govornment has been loth alto- gether to deny them. Ministers have thero- fore adopted a policy of silent obstruction. The probability 1s that Mr. Jennings’ motion on the subject, which is down for the 23d inst., will be qnictly blockea by other business and that nothing much will be heard of the bill. Whatever becomes of tho expelled Russian Jows there are few of them hers, or in Hull, or Manchester, or Liverpool —locali- ties whero their preseuce would be bost known 1f any ourrent immigration really ex- isted. The committee appointed by the interna- tional confereuce recently held in Liverpool has practically detormined upon tho forma- tion of the cotton buread suggested in the conference. The object of ghe bureau is to establish a clearing Lousp through which all business between ship owners and importers can be transacted, appointe ataff of inspect- ors to watch the landing aud transit of cot- ton and generally to cover the scheme 1n de- tail s0 as to make the barsau of general ad- vantage to the cotton trade of the country.

GREATEST ZOLVEREIN EVER CONCEIVED. Terms Upon Which the Treaty Was Agreed Will Bo Temporarily Kept Secret. EMPEROR WILLIAM CLOSES THE LANDTAG. He Congratulates Himself ar Col 1 the ntry on Only a Small Portion of What Was ted. Getting Expy [Copuright 1891, bu New York Associated DPress] BenuiN, June 20.—The formation of a great central European customs league is an ac complished fact and acknowledged by the ofticial circle. The exchange of communica- tions botween Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Switzeriand has rosulted in the basis of an agreement which beeame known here today. Intorest in the realization of tho most formidable zolverein ever conceived will overtop that in cvery other public mat ter when the scheme s generally published. In the meantime the ofiicial circle alone knows that the negotiations have attained a detinitely successful stago. Tho terms upon which commercial union was agrocd are meant to bo held se- cret until after the plenipotentiaries prepare the draft of the treaty. A confer- cnce for this purpose has been arranged to meet at Berne on July 20. The loague is to be an intimate commercial alliance, in which no one of the contracting powers will be privileged to form o trade treaty with any other outside the union unless it first obtains the assent of the other parties to the alliance. Tt is understood here that the government has obtained the consent of the federal stutes of Germany to a denunciation of the treaty of Frankfort, and to accepting whatever grave consequences may arise from the hos- tility of France to such a course. The ex- istence of the league will naturally affect the trading rolations of the contracting powers with France, England, the United States and every quarter of the globe, How far their independent, action will be coutrolled de- pends upon the nature of the decisions of the Berne conference. ‘Tho emperor closed the landtag today in a characteristic manner. He congratulated himself and the country on_getting from the upper and Jower houses of the landtag nearly all that his ministry had demanded. During tho course of his speoch bis majesty smd: “Although the mms T constantly hold in view have not been wholly attained, I and my people muy nevertheless derive ' just satisfaction from the fact that a necessary and valuable basis has been acreed to for a reform in the system of taxation, and primany conditions have been by law determined for the improvement of communal constitutions in the rural dis- tricts of Prussia:” These references to projects which had been forced upon the upper house wero listened to in gloomy silenco. The emperor then proceeded to express the hope that the taxation questions still remaining uusettiea would find an equally satisfactory settlement. He trusted that the newly enncted communul laws would be carried out with a due_regard to old-timo institutions, This, he suid, will securo the development of the communal dis- triets and draw closer the ties uniting the people to the monarchy. Touching upon ecclesiastical affairs tho emperor said he noted with pleasure that the restitution to the Catholic church of the clerical stipends which had beeu stopped during the Kultur- kampf was resulting in an essential advance of the settlement of tae difarences botween the church and the stato and also in the mmiutenance of religious peace. He became all the better assurcd the more conviction guined ground that the claims the church put forward required to bo confinod to measures compatible with the dutics of the state. In the singlo concluding passage of his speech, alluding to the foreign situation, bis mujesty said: “Considering that tho sion now about to close will be attended with fruitful results, Tand my people may cherish the hope that these results will bo turned to good account while we continue to enjoy the blessing of peace, which I have no _reason to apprehend will be imperilled and the prescrvation of which is the object of my unremitting endeavor.” A number ofjthe doputies afterwards at tonded a garden party at the emperor's pal- ace at Potsdam.
