AN IMPfItSSIVE REVIEW. A WORKERS' MANIFESTO. (Received Last Night, 10.50 o'clock). BERLIN, September 6. The Bourse has a better tone to-day. The Navy League organised many excursions to Kiel. Tho warships were effectively grouped and anchored in single file, extending over nine miles. As the royal yacht, Hohenzollern, with the Kaiser aboard, followed by the battleship Deutschland, and many excursion steamers, steamed down tho line, each, warship fired a salute of thirty-three guns. The spectaclo was a magnificent one. The crews, in white jumpers, stood at attention, presenting a smart and workmanlike appearance. Crowds of spectators were impressed with Germany's strength. At the conclusion the Kaiser boarded the Deutschland, and watched the tactical manoeuvres of the big crafts. WORKMEN'S CONGRESS. (Received Last Night, 10.50 o'clock). ' BERLIN, September 6. ] A manifesto has been issued by the Committee of the Workmen's Congress, representing 1,250,000 members of the Christian and Patriotic Unions, expressing the hope that peace would be preserved. It denounces the antipatriotic attempts of the social democracy to seize Germany's critical position to prepare for social evolution. Tho manifesto declares that the social ] democracy's advocacy of a political general strike in the event of warlike \ complications is calculated to arouse the impression that Germany's resistance in that case would be enfeebled, and this would incite foreign counies to forcibly prevent the peaceful de-1 velopments of Germany and her world ; trade.

GERMAN PRESS OPINIONS. (Received Last Night, Midnight.) BERLIN, September 6. The North German Gazette says the Franco-German negotiations may now be expected to proceed more smoothly. Tho "Lokaknzeiger" decleares that l the Morocco business is purely plutocratic. France, it says, is being pushed on by greedy speculators and capitalists. The pacification of Morocco ,js,,similar to the Boer war waged by England. It must be regarded purely as a commercial and capitalistic undertaking. The paper urged that if France obtained full satisfaction, politically, German statesmen must minutely examine safeguards for the commercial interests of the future, ensuring Germany complete freedom of trade. The ''Cologne Gazette" holds that there will bo no war. France, it says, realises that a march to Fez through Berlin Avould be too dangerous. Nobody in Germany thinks ili of France wanting to pocket Morocco, as Tunis, in Egypt, has been pocketed. The German feeling toward Britain is different. Few believe the assurances pi the British that Britain does not intend injuring _ Germany. The inten'tions of Birkl-sh diplomacy are too obvious. FEELING IN PARIS. (Received Last .Night, Midnight.)
