Foreign.

It is reported that Baron Marschall yon fieberstein, Secretary for Foreign Affaire, tried to induce the Emperor to discard Count von Capri vi, the Chancellor, owing to a personal feud, The Kaiaer indignantly declined, and it is expected that the Baron will resign. It 13 reported in Germany that M. Turpin has sold his patent for £160,---000. In the Chamber of Deputies, General Mercier, Minister for War, said it was impossible to negotiate with M. Turpin, who had already been declared a traitor. The Minister further stated that he did not believe that the invention was of value. Several members of the Chamber of Deputies urged that it was a mistake to refuse to purchase the secret of the gun, which had now become the property of the Germans. M. Dupuy asserts that he is willing in future to negotiate for any invention. A heated debate has taken place in the Chamber of Deputies on M. T urpin's case. A vote of confidence in the Government was carried by a large majority. A waterspout flooded the town of Pueblo in Colorado. Bridges were washed away in all directions, and a large number of house were undermined and collapsed. Many people lost their lives. The Emperor of Germany has had to submit to an operation for tumour. The operation was conducted by Dr Berginann, who removed an encysted tumour from the Emperor's cheek. Tha patient is progressing favourably.
