HAMBURG LETTER.

[FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]

Hamburg 19th Apríl. The great political event of the past fortuight has been the Anglo-French Agreement. It is 10 freely commented on by the Press in this Also country, and on the whole in terms of approval, Iloilus, by removing most points of friction between the two Powers, it must be regarded as a farther guarantee for the maintenace of peace. As such it should be well received by all the states, although, like Germany, they may not be immediately concerned. Of course there ara papers who. true to their habit of scanting w hidden menace to the interests of Germany in whatever others Governments may do, raise a cry of warning: one of your Hamburg Fontemporaries, for instance, takes occasion to quote some founrks made by Prince Bismarck to its representative, when stating his viewa with regard to North Africa during an interview KONA twelve years interests of Great Britain and Italy," he a in that part of the world are very much the sume, but opposed to those of France. It i aut absolutely necessary that the latter and England should actually come to blows over thean, but if a fresh field for rivalry between the two should be opened therahy, it would be as much to the advantage of Germany as u cordial understanding between the two would be to her detriment."

Besides these there were 2.875 superanmerarios tempor- arily engaged, an increase of 63, the number of promotions being this considerably greater than that of now candidates. 6,825 female clerks are employed in the telephone service, or 262 more than last year, and 772 in the telegraph offices, or 202 less than in 1903, leaving 5.174 for the post-office.
