BERLIN, March 30--A rupture in tho
government groups arising from their dis
agreement on the press penal law is certain
unless the bill is materially modified, The
national liberals declare against the bill.
The conservatives and free conservatives
are ready to submit to any repression,
though tGere are symptoms of a reaction
even among them. The semi-official press,
the Cologne Gazette, the Madgebourg Ga
sette and others who venture to criticlse,
admit that under the law there can be- no
freedom of discussion, and say that tho lib
erals are justified in coalescing to resist tho
bill. These comments have gwen rise to
reports that the commission of the
t SS1d'''S S has It IS greatly likely m0di shst
proposals are being inspired by the en-
peror, with whom absolute regulation of
tho press is a pet project His departure
from the usual etiquette Of the court to at
end the parliamentary dinner at Prince
Bismarck's was due to desire to conciliate
the deputies. He had long conversation
with Messrs. Bennisigen, Misequel and
Franfstein and was graciously familiar.
Even If the leaders are seduced the hulk of
the nationalist would not assent to the bill.
1t is probable that the government will rely
on the center party, thus causing an evulu-
ton in party grouping. The Vossische
Zeitung predicts a clerical-conservativ
coalition, majority of the nationalists
joining the progressists, and thus forming
IA liberal opposition strong enough TO inn
peril the passage Of the bill
VISIT OF THE KAISER TO ENGLAND.
Count Herbert Bismarck returns from
his English mission GA Monday, his ia hers
birthday. He says he has made arrange
ments for grand public demonstrations on
the occasion Of Emperor Williams visit to
England. An English squadron will meet
The German squadron accompanying
o emperor, and festive receptions
will be given at London aud Windsor.
Doubts as to Engli,h popular feeling toward
the emperor inspire semi-otflcial declara-
tions to the effect that the emperors sup
posed dislike OF England is an entire mis-
take. A ter Germany he loves England
most. His visit is definitely fixed for July.
Emperor Francis Joseph Of Austria will
visit Berlin about the middle of August,
after six m nths' mourning for Crown
Prince Rudolph.
LABoR's OUTBREAK.
The strike outbreak is so general that it
would appear to be an organized co-opera-
ton of the trades centers. In Hamburg
the masons, plumbers and carpenters are
out on the efusal OF their employers to in
crease wages. The workmans syndicate
approve of the strike, and men accepting
the employers terms will be excluded from
the privileges of the unions. At Ell
benfeld and Bremen manufacturing works
are closed, and the men are out. At Gre
field the workmen will strike Monday uu-
less the demands are granted. AT Nurem-
burg the carverS and toy makers are out.
The Berlin masons, at meeting on We'd
nesday, decided to inaugurate general
strike in the building trades.
A SOCIALIST SPLIT.
The German socialists had disagreement
with the French socialists over the pro
gramme Of the Paris congress The French
committee insisted upon having exclusive
right to control the order of the proceed
ings and 10 fix the subjects for discussion.
The Germans declined to attend unless the
arranging Of the order Of business be left to
the cong ess.
The commission Of the Rechstag has de-
cided to prosecute Herr Grillingberger for
offensive press comments concerning mem
bers OF the Reichstag.
Admiral Housner has been appointed sec
rotary Of the imperial naval Office.
