gramme admits the discussion ana regu-
lation OF the hours of labor of adults.
Under q clause relating to work done in
the mines, the conference is to decide on
the limitation and duration of shifts in
the mines, on the precautions to be taken
in regard to unhealthy mines, and also
on restrictions in the output by conf ina-
tions to affect prices, and all this by IN
ternationei agreement. M. Spuller COM
munIcated his views on these points TO
the marquis of Salisbury aud to Prince
Bismarck, aud advised that the points
certain TO raise the question OF miners
hours be
WITHDRAWN FROM THE PROGRAMME.
The Marquis 81 Salisbury approved Of
NJ. Spulier's suggestions. Both proba-
bly, feared some diversions of the confer
ence affecting miners aud the eight-hour
movement. The clause VIII be modified
so as to prevent any debate on the limita-
tions or the length of the miners day,
aud the conference thus begins to as
sumo the character OF an academic
reunion, in which many more or
less competent men will suggest solutions
of social and economic problems. The
United States will certainly lose nothing
practical or of Importance through the
absence of a representative. The chan
cellor will not attend the conference,
neither Will Count Herbert Bismarck nor
any foreign diplomats. An official
stenographic report will give TO the
world whatever benefit can arise from
the expression OF ideas of economic
specialists.
The emperor still expresses himself to
be excessively saneuine of some practi-
cal result. Conversing with members of
the council of state at q dinner after
business, he referred TO the project of
creating, through the conference, per-
manent international
BOARD OF CONTROL,
empowered to convene International
congresses, to report how the condition
of each country is affected by the
international agreement to which
the con ference may tend up. It is alto
gethPr improbable that the powers will
consent to this merely to crafty the en-
Deror's wishes. There was a reception
after the dinner, and all the delegates
were presented TO the empress. The en-
perer talked much with Freese, Qtum
and SchwartzboDf. Prince Bismarck

In the imperial arsenal the working
day was formerly twelve hours long. II
has now been reduced 70 ten hours.
Workingmen' committees have been
formed among the employees in the gov
eminent coal mines.
The Boersen Zeitung affirms that
Prince Bismarck g recent interviews with
the emperor resulted in a decision TO take
measures to prevent the injury to the
state menaced by the ill-directed current
OF public opinion. If any clear mean
ing can be put upon this phrase 1t must
have been that the emperor has
asserted that fresh attempts shall
be made for the suppression
the social propaganda as conducted
by others. The Dutch Socialists, NIeu-
wnhuis and Van Bevereu, returned here
with passports and were permitted to re-
main and assist their friends during the
elections.
The Kreuz Zeitung declares that uni
versal suffrage is a political monstroSity,
and il should be abolished.
The Hamburg MachriChsen argues that
the elections have proved the necessity
of the earliest expulsion from Germany
of
ALL SOCIALIST AGITATORs.
