April 6?It is s ated thai the German Govern ment has sent inrt ucti ns to its minister to ascertain whet, if any, guarantee of protection the American Government gives to German eubjccts resident in the United States. The pre-ent controversy between America and Italy is viewed with no little satisfaction at Berlin, and the worst possible form 3 giver, to it by the German press generally. The motive is not so much unfriendliness to the United States as to put a stop to Gcritself severely f?!t in the lack of laborers for agrictt'ure. The Conservative party and the large landholders generally are in favor of prohibiting emigration for all except Jews, as is done in Russia. The Government is not prepared to go this far ; bnt it none the less appreciates tho effect of the drain upon the industries of Germany. The impression is, therefore, setight to ho created that America i9 a lawless country, and that scenes like the New Orleans massacre are of ordinary occurrence, Rerun, April 5*?The number of German emigrants from Germany to America in the months ofJanuary and February, 1891, has been 7,048, the highest for the same poriod in five years. - Peace Bktwikk tim Alliance and the Trvst.?A t 'aula, (ii., April 1.?The Farmers' Alliance and the jute bagging tru*t have made peace.
