Well informed Germans assure me that Count Herbert Bismarck bad not toe slight- act Intention of impressing too English speaking members of the Oonfereuoe with a mm of too greatness of Germany at toe eg- tification of their right to use their own language, with which he might not be equally familiar, at some future conferenoe. Nor is it true that the two American mem¬ bers of the conferenoe were entirely igno¬ rant of that language. Mr. Phelps spoke that language in diplomatic Intercourse at the Austrian court, and Mr. Bates himself assured me tout he understood almost every word the oount uttered on that memorable occasion. Kurland Leans Toward Germany, While it is well known that England's leanings in the conference are toward Ger¬ many on that vexed question of secret un¬ derstanding concerning Tonga, Sir Edward maintained an obstinate silence. He ex¬ pressed himself, however, in a very kindly manner regarding the favorable impressed! produced upon himself and others at toe conference by thfir American colleagues. Sir Edward, and there fa no flbtter judge in mob matters, fa Inclined to think tost another month will sqetbe labor of toe con¬ ference ended. Be had met Mr. Kasson be¬ fore, at the Congo conference, when both of them were representing their respective countries. It May Take Six Sittings. In Sir Edward’s library there lies on • spider table near the windows large folio of volumes containing, in all the glory of gilt edges and magnificent printing, toe minutes of tbe Congo oonferenoa. When your representative often asked Sir Edward about how toe Samoan conferenoe would sit he turned to this book, and after consulting it said he believed that now, as at toe Congo conference, all matters of de¬ tail would be referred to a sub-committee. Tbe Congo conference, he remarked, sat only ten tones daring those three months. Fits or six sittings, therefore, will, in all probability, suffice to settle the Samoan matter. 1 The Emperer Regret* Oar Iron Bale.
