The official trial for the Admimity will take place next week. It is likely that Parliamentary legislation next year will cut off bogus American companies to London, Apecial committee has been appointed to investigate the subject, which met during the closing weeks of the last session, but the sittings were discontinued because it became plain that no useful report could be drawn up before Parliament adjourned.
The Timer correspondent at Paris says the German Emperor wanted to have Archbishop Kopp made Cardinal at the December Con- sistory, but the Pope, Instigated by Cardinal Ledochowski, declined to appoint, blm. appears the appointment of Cardinal Leds chowski as Prefect of the Propaganda will please neither France, Germany, Russia nor Italy.

PARIN, January stat. According to advices from St. Petersburg the Car Intends to initiate measures for the restora- ton of serfdom among the peasants. Reports from many districts to officials concur in the statement that the increase of population in the villages la so great that the land belonging to the local communes is insufficient to support all the members..
The Government, with a view to remedying the evil, proposes to allot to peasants vast tracte of land under considerations similar to those of serf tenure, one-third of the harvest to be stored la communal magazines for the support of the peasant one-third to be sold by the Govern meat for the payment of local debit to the state, and one-third to be detained for the payment

Reports were received to-day of Highland floods, which are causing devastation in Scotland. The valley of the Kyle of Sutherland, near the northern extremity of Scotland, has been con- verted into an immense lake, causing great loss of property and distress among the people. A number of bouses have been submerged and many sheep drowned.

PARIS, January 30th The decree putting into fores the new tariff law has been wiened by President Carnot. France at this moment is in precisely the same position as that in which the United States found themselves on the eve of the application of the McKinley tariff. To-morrow she will see an economic revolution which, owing to her great wealth,
she did not need. The new tariff will make of France, after nearly thirty years of almost free trade, the greatest What will protectionist country in Europe. come from the change only the future can decide, The immediate results have been an increase in the work of Custom-house officials, an increase In the wages of dock laborers and a feverish fit

At Bordeaux shipping firms have, la order to save time, been authorized to make their customs declarations in Port Paulilac. On the borders of Spain the block is made greater by the inadequacy of the railway rolling stock.
The graves: inconvenience resulting from the changed tariff is noticeable in the direction of Spalo. Senor Canova is now playing Signor Crispi's game. He has assumed a high-banded attitude in dealing with France, and hints that the commercial strain may throw Spain into the Arms of Germany. This state of things, however, is more

The maximum tariff will now be applied to Italy, to Spain, to Roumania and to Portugal, who is closing her frontier against France.
A rupture with Switzerland has been averted by the adoption of the provisional modus vivendi yesterday. Belgium has to-day also adopted modus vivendi. In vince of existing treaties the minimum tariff will be applied to Mexico, Chile,

BERLIN, January 31st.
The Emperor has at last been brought face to face with bis Parliament on the Education bill. It is his first check, and he finds that even his own Ministers do not support him. He will be obliged to fight out the battle alone or with only those servile Ministers who echo his every wish, but can give bim little help. With the with drawal from the ministry of men like Miguel, Herfurth and Boetticher, the brains of the Government would be gone. Count Zedlitz, with all his real, and the Chancellor, with all his well-meaning devotion, could not fill the
vacuum.
The nation has been profoundly stirred by the prolonged debate of last week in the Diet, and Liberal Berila in particular, being a close witness of these scenes, is wrought up to a pitch of intense excitement. The break-up of the parties which has followed up the pushing of the bill by the Emperor's supporters has
produced a political convulsion. It is true that Caprivi did not desire a split in the union of Conservatives and National Liberals which made the strength of the ministerial party. He tried to avoid it by private negotiations with each party and faction to the last moment, but the leaders
