BERLIN, February 9.-[Copyright 1885
by the New York Associated Press =
| In the lower house of the PrHssian
Diet, to- day, the Rmperor's civil list
| passed its second reading, after de-
bate in which Progressists emphati-
cally protested against increasing the
imperial allowance by 600, 600 marks.
They had no difficulty in proving that
the wealth of the imperial family is al
ready enormous, the En- peror having
at his disposal not only his revenue of
100000, but also other resources
| from his family domains. The Hot
hammer, which administrators of the
domain are charged with, the care of
crown edifces, forests and lands, the
collection of rents and rents for lands,
are so extensive as to require their
division in seventy-seven steWardshlps,
each comprising number of farms.
The supporters of the bill could not
show any necessity for an increase In
the imperial income. They rested their
demand upon the argument that as
The Emperor's functions and work were
Increasing, his revenue ought to be en-
larged.
THE EhPERoR's HEALTH.
The state of the health OF the Emre-
TOR is again delicate. With the renewal
of severe weather his ear troubles have
been aggravated. DR.. Bergman has
been specially summoned three times
this week. The Emperor rises ut 5
O'Clock. He makes his children share
his own severe regime. The Princes
are reused at o'clock, and after break
fast with their father at 6. 80, their les
sons begin at 8 O'Clock. The Grown
Prince has jost obtained his first
grade in the army, having
been appointed to a gefreite
position, similar TO thatof the corporal.
He has now his own suit of rooms and
household. Twice daily he Is instructed
in military drill with his brothers. He
is allowed one and half hours daily
for play. This scheme of lessons and
drill for each hour is rig:diy executed.
DR.. wIEDrHoRsE
has given notice that he will offer ..
motion to insert in the acts regulating
the judicial condition of the countries
under German protection, guarantees
of liberty of conscience to natives and
foreigners, the free exercise of public
worship and the rights of the mission
sry propaganda. the motion has
semblance Of simple declaration in
favor OF religious liberation, but con-
cealeG under its recognition. This gen.
erai principle of the centre party aims
-, bfo f,,in he nf nhSfa
to Jesuit propaganda in the colonies.
BUMPINa BREsEPoRD.
Both the Emperor and Prince Bis
marck have held long conferences with
Lord Charles Breseford. During the
interview the conversations turned
upon England's state of preparation
for war against the combined native
forces of France and Russia. Prince
Bismarck, it is reDorted, advised Lord
Charles that an anglo-French war was
nearly as probable as one between
France and Germany, and if Boulan-
gers clique saw possibility of beatir 6
England by a sudden attack they
WoAld prefer the risk of taking chance,
of the terrible results of defeat by
Germany. Prince Bismarck decla, |
his readiness to concldde defensive
alliance with England. He told Beres-
ford to strongly represent to his gov
eminent the urgent necessity that
England should put her house IN order.
Snow has been falling necessarily
since Wednesday throughout Central
Germany. Railway traffic is inter-
rupted and several trains are embedded
in snow.
