Anglophobia in Germany.

BULOW'S SPEECH.

United Prate Association—By EleoUia Telegraph—Copyright London, Jan 12

Count yon Bulow's reference to the Triple Alliance Is regarded in Paris, Rome and Vienna as bravado intended to warm Hungary and Italy that their menaces h»ve not changed Germany's commercial policy.

TONE OF THE GERMAN PRESS

London, January 13 The German newspapers are as tonished »t Great Britain's outburst of indignation. They imagined she was too fettered its South Africa to notice Iba insults. The tone of their articles toas suddenly modified.

THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR AND MR CHAMBERLAIN

Mr Chamberlain's masterful retort to Count yon Bulow, and also the grow ing recognition of the colonies, is warmly re-echoed by all but the pro* Boer newspapers. There is a consensus of opinion that Count yon Bulow's utterances have heightened Mr Oham» berlain'e popularity and power. The German Chancellor thought to allay irritation, but bia friends say he ex pressed himself badly and misled bis aim. „ —-

"THE TIMES" ON THE SITU ATION

Ihe Times Bays that the emphasis laid by Mr Balfour and Mr Chamber bin on the fact that Great Britain is lastly proud of her Army, and their comparison of other armies with ours, is the highest compliment we could bestow, and the only reply a nation which hag not lost its self respect could make to attacks upon the honour of its loldiera, and to the insinuation that the Government*had apologised for com paring its eoldiers with those of another gtate,

INDIGNATION IN AUSTRALIA.

Melboubnk, January 14

The Federal Parliament re-assemblee today, and there is a likelihood of it being invited to express sympathy with Britain with regard to the attacks mad© by European politicians. The feeling here is growing very strong, particularly in view of the fact that; they'follow-bo closely on the gratuitous imputations of the German newspapers against thfe bravery and loyalty of the Australian soldiers. Mr Reid expressed bis willingness to support the Govern ment if it submits a resolution on tho lobject. The Affe, commenting on German Anglophobia, says :—" The voice of the German Press must be remembered h the voice cl the German Government, the Press being muzzled or unmuzzled at the will of the Chancery in Beilin. The real sentiments of the Government ate interpreted in Count Yon Bulow's studiously, offensive aud drlibsrately tittered language, that one of the effects wp imagine will be a fresh impulse to the current In public opinion in Britain, which is setting towards a friendly understanding with Russia. The time appears peculiarly opportune for; a rapprochement between Britain, Russia and France.

San Fbancisco, Dec 27

Oa December 22nd, by <ihe collapse of the city markeo house, in Zacabesas, Mexico, forty lives have been lost, and more than a score of persons seriously injured, some of them so badly that) they cannot recover. Among those entombed were several officers charged with the management of building tha market house, one of the largest build ings in Zaoatesas, which was owned by the city: Ita lower poebiou waa composed chiefly of cold storage cellars^ in which local merchants stored thair perishable goods, fetid Its waa in ihe basemen! section that' the fir<s started. The flames! had gained such*' a headway that thd entire building was' seen to be doomed, and the efforts of the firemen and oitizics were directed to saving goods in the atorage oompartmentß. In the basement and on the |if«t floor hundreds of men were formed into gangs, and were busily engaged In the work of s»vlag the goods, when the entire superstructure, weakened by the rapidly spreading Hsmeu, collapsed, crushing acd bqrying drp<ms of men engaged in the work of salvage* Those who escaped Injury from, the blazing ruins were so terror stricken ib waa "difficult to organise any effort at rescue, and those who had not been fellled outright could hear the cries of the victims in the ruins, There was no hope lof rescue* The fire department is poorly equipped, and the supply of water made* quate, so an effective resistance could not be offered to prevent tha spreading of the fire* The Qre Qa&lly burned itself out', leaving many unfortunates buried beneath tons of wreckage.
