The tangle which the senate finally found ftself in last pight, and which resulted in the adjournment of that body, was the out- come of u clever plot originated by Senator Dubois and executed turough the help of Senator Teller. Thesilver men knew that on a roll call, where pairs would have to be recognized, that the repeal members would not be able to obtain a quorum, though on a call of the senate in which pairs can be counted n quorum was present. The difi- culty then became to obtain @ roll call. Senutor Teller examined the rules and discovored what proved to be o successful mannor of Lringing about the desived end. It isa rule of the senate that, except by unammous conseat, public documents caunot be read in that body 1f they have been previously published Mr. Toller, duringa call for a quorum, ex plained his views to Mr. Peffer, who was speaking, and a few wnutes later Mr., Pefter, from the mass of minuseript in front of him, vesurrected a public document and began to read it with great deliberation Immediately My, Telier was on his feet objected to the reading.

Benriiy, Oct. 1 An interview with M. Witte, the Russian winister of finance, ob- tained at St. Potorsburg, is published. In it he said the existence of peace between ¢ wany and Russia did not depend upon treaty of commerce between the two coun- tries, but a tavift v 4 certainly result in considerable tension between the two tions. Russia only asked similar tr 1o that given to the United States many. Regarding Russin's rela Lrance, the fuance minister said: **Although we accept gratefuily the proficred friend- ship of France, and notwithstanding recent ovents, this friendshin has no ulterior aggressive motive,” The animosity oxp ainst Chan- cellor von Caprivi secms to intensify while the Tmperial bank is attacked for raising the discount rate. ‘Tho agrarian agitato in the provinees have been violently abusing the bank, declaring the duty of the state bank is never to raise the rate of discount, especiaily in times of monetary stringency. The ultramontane party in Bavaria, in ovder to arvest the revolt of the peasantry, led by Dr. Sigel, and in crder to stay the progaess which socialism is making, has de- cided to push legislation of interest to the rural elasses and has prepared a scries of ten motions which will be introduced in the Bavavian Diet. These motions provide for the complote revision of the existing fiscal system, with the view of establishing progressive taxation without the maximum limitation, thus throwing public burdens upon tho large land owners and capitalists and relieving the middle and lower classes, cspecially the small peas- antry, by the removal of the land tax, This is Here Miguel's idea, carvied still further in a soclalist direction, 'he German newspapers publish long ac- counts of the fetes ut Toulon n connection with the visit to that port of the Russiay squudron, under command of Admiral Ave- lau.
