Progressists and Socialists will oppose the
measure, but as the government groups are
solid IN It's support the bill will become a
law.
A similar proposal was brought forward
to-day in the lower house of the Prussian
Landtag, where its passage by large ma
Jority will be secured.
The Haupt-Schroeuer incident has led the
government at Zurich to reprimand Chief
of Police Fischer for supplying Herr Bebel
with information TO the effect that these
men were spies in the employ of the Ger
man government. Chief Fischer will be re-
moved to some other section. The foreign
office has raised a moro important question
! as the result of this incident, in regard to
the refugeeing of Socialists in Switzerland.
Count Herbert Bismarck has opened com
munication with Italy and Austria on the
abuse of the asylum which Switzerland ac-
corded to revolutionists.
The Berlin National Zeitung says: "Her
Won Bennigsen, leader of the National
Liberal party, will have an interview with
Prince Bismarck next Tuesday, and they
will then probably make arrangements to
render as little public as possible the debate
on the bill providing for new loan on ac-
count of the increased military prepara-
tions."
Several of the Berlin papers dilate upon
treaty between Germany and Austria, the
publication of which they say must produce
a tranquilizing effect in Paris and st.
Petersburg, while admonishing and warn
ing disturbers of the peace, whoever they
may be.
OPINIONS OF AUSTRIAN EDITORS
VIENNA, Feb. 4.-The Fremdenbldtt says
that ''the publication of the treaty of al
lance between Austria and Germany will
produce everywhere a conviction that our
policy hasks a pacific and conservative
tendency, which will always be maintained.
1t will decisively show that the policy of
Austria and Germany and the grouping of
the powers is of nigh and unmis
taxable Importance, and that the
duration of the treaty is
absolutely secured 1t now forms, and
must form in the future, the exclusive basis
of our policy. Nobody can now fail to un-
derstand that Austria and Germany will en-
deavor above all TO clear up the situation,
refute baseless accusations and tranquilize
the public mind
The PresSe makes similar comments, con-
Guiding as follows: 'It will be necessary.
however, to wait the strong effect which
the publication of the treaty and the tend
ency of its clauses will undoubtedly exercise
upon Russian public opinion"
The Ertrdbldtt says: The publication
of the treaty is calculated to be eminentlv
effective for the preservation of peace. If
the publication fails to accomplish the OBJ
ject desired war viii be inevitable"
The Neue Frei PresSe says it fears that
no change in the present political situation
will be effected by the publication Of the
treaty.
The AHgemeine Zeitung says the
publication constitutes final admonition
to Russia to stop in the path whereon she
has entered.
WON'T SCARE THE GEAR.
PARIS, Feb 4-Almost all of the news
papers here, in discussing the Austro-Ger-
man treaty, predict that its publication will
not intimidate the Gar or induce him to
depart from the pacific reserve which he
has hitherto maintained.
The Temps expresses the hope that Prince
Bismarck's forthcoming speech i'll the Reich
stag will dispel all uneasness.
ITALY WON'T DIsARM
ROME, Feb. 4.-In the debate on the
budget in the Chamber of Deputies to-day,
Sig. Crispi, Prime Minister, said that in
the present condition of Europe it was i'm
possible for Italy to reduce her military ex-
pendtures The publication of the treaty
between Austria and Germany, he said,
was not intended as a menace to Russia,
but reminder that peace was desired. 1t
was impossible to maintain peace, he de
clared, if the army and navy were not
strong enough to persuade those who might
think otherwise that peace can be compelled
if necessary
