BERLIN, December 14th.-The success of
the Center party in the vote in the Reich
stag relieving all theological students of
the obligation to military service has stirred
up considerable of a breeze in the upper
world of politics, and Bismarck complains
in regard to it that the highest interests of
the Governments service are neglected for
personal interests.
The individual deputies of the Centerists
secured the victory by rushing through
vote in the absence OF many members of
the Cartel party who were home doing
what American politicians call taking care
of their fences"
The National Zeitung announces that the
Government will not accept this decision
on this very important subject. Bismarck
has hauled Herr Boetticher over the Goals
for not preventing the vote, and Boetticher
has promptly responded, throwing the
blame on the Cartel combination.
| Bismarck answers to the effect that the
| Imperial Government measures must be
settled in the Reichstag before the middle
of February, when he desires TO dissolve
| that body.
| Herr Boetticher's task is not an easy one.
| Caucuses and conventions innumerable are
| being held throughout the empire prepar-
| ing for the coming elections, and although
all parties are active, the Socialists are
pushing things more theoretically than
others, having already brought forward 205
candidates.
| The comments of the journals of the
| Cartel party upon all this discloses an ap-
prehension in the Government group that
81. III
will make them troublesome customers.
| The strikes of the miners will be mat
ter of great moment in the electoral game.
In spite of the supposition that the West
phalian strikers have been appeased, the
| strike is extending. In the Saar mines,
| 1000 men are out, and it is feared that the
strike of the remaining 80 000 is imminent.
| In Lower Silesia there will be general
strike on the first of the year, unless there
is an advance of 10 per cent in wages, and
a concession of eight hours per day. The
employers declare it impossible to concede
| these demands
| Herr Boetticher, in a conference with
| the employers, has referred to the import
ance of the speediest possible settlement, in
view of the pending elections. Many mass
meetings of miners are to be held to NOR
| row. and the general movement for strikes
| everywhere has aroused the discussion of
project to import Chinese labor, but the
economic societies generally look upon it
as thing of doubtful reliability.
| The Portuguese Government recently ap-
| piled to the Frankfort and Berlin banks TO
negotiate loan of five million milreis,
| ostensibly for the execution of various
| public works. Bankers have now refused
the loan, being alarmed by the advices
| from Lisbon touching negotiations there
| nat
declaration of Portuguese republic. The
monaIchist press in Lisbon continues to
deny that there is any danger in the agita-
ton.
| Dom Pedro is preparing manifesto to
| the Brazilians defending the acts of his
ministers and explaining the overthrow of
the Empire. He says he will await tran
| gully the expression of the will of the
people, hopeful that in the coming election
the people will pronounce favorably in
favor of his Government
| In all illusions to Dom Pedro the semi
| official press here continues to treat his re-
| turn to Brazil as improbable and undesir-
able.
ReichSbote maintains the right of Ger
| many to dominant influence in southern
Brazil. 1t says there are 100000 German
colonists III the three provinces, and
checked the provinces would long ere this
have fallen as ripe fruit into the hands of
the German Government.
Influenza has about run its course here.
at least third of the population have
suffered from it and several members of
the Imperial family had it.
Dr. Parke telegraphs that Emin Pasha
improves slowly, but that the bad symp-
toms are disappearing.
