In the Reichstag to day, evsn the opponents of the Chancellor cheered loudly on its being announced that Prince Bismarck and tho Kaiser had been reconciled. The Emperor has thanked Prince Bismarck for signifying his intention to visit Berlin. The Prince has been invited to Royal Birthday fete on Saturday next. Four companies of militia have reached Jacksonville to assist in preventing the Corbett-Mitchell fight. They were met- with derision and hisses. The Courts in Florida have de clared the Corbett-Miichell fight legal. The House of Representatives has placed raw and refined sugar on the free list. Thera are symptoms of serious disagreement between President Cleveland and the New York Demo cratic Senators, who will probably attempt to d. 1-at the Tariff Bill. Jab?z Balfonr, wank'd. in London in connection with the Liberator Building Company frauds, has been arrested by direction of the British Uonsul, and starts for England on Saturday.
