It having been asserted that Prince
Bismarck was the author of certain fierce
attacks upon the new chancellor of the
empire this is denied, but itis added that
Bismarck will soon be heard from by his
enemies. He will soon appear in the
upper house of the Prussian parliament
and also in the German reichstag. “It
would be a great mistake,” say his friends
“to imagine the exchancellor as old and
broken down, or to soppose that
he will remain a passive spectator
of events. The German peoples have
a right to know the prince's views on im-
portant questions. There is no reason to
doubt that Bismarck is nursing his wrath
and that there w ill be an explosion after
while which will shake Germany and

The Republicans find themselves in a

It has been learned from reliable sour
ces that the South Pennsylvania railroad
company has been reorganized mainly
in the interest of the Reading and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. While it
is reported from New York that the
Vanderbilts will not antagonize the
Pennsylvania's interests, it is stated io
Baltimore that the construction of the
South Pennsylvania road will be coms
pleted to gratify the ambition of the
Reading for a rival line to the Pennsyl-
vanis weut of Harrishurg.
Some years ago Robert Garrett, then
president of the Baltimore and Ohio, and
President Wood, of the Western Mary:
land, were in negotiation with the late
William H. Vanderbilt for connections
with the South Pennsylvania. While
the death of Mr. Vanderbilt put a stop
temporarily to the arrangements, the
scheme was recently revived and wil}
now be carried through. Baltimore and
Ohio and Westerd Maryland officials are
reported to have already held conferences
with the new management of the South
Pennsylvania. As the latter road is bes
ing connected in an air line direction
west from Harrisburg, it will probably
be conuected with the Baltimore and
Ohio at some poist on the Pittsburg
