BERLIN, Oct. Z5.-The commission of the
reichstag to which were referred the labor bills
will resume its sittings November4. Time will
thus be given for a complete discussion of the
measures before the re-assembliag OF the reich
stag.
The Center party continues to make
the abolition of the Il prescription Of
religious orders an absolute condition
of its support. The old Cartellists resist the
abolition. A section Of the Pfogressives and all
the Socialists, considering the prescription con-
traTy 10 the principles of free people, will vote
with the Centrists. Herr " indthorst reckons
that thus there will be $40 votes cast for the re-
peal OF the Law. If the government accepts the
gage of peace offered by the Cenirsts a strong
majority will be assured foi the labor and other
SOCIAL MEASURES
Several official movements point to the prohi-
tion of the reichstRg, rendering all the more
necessary careful nursing of the ministerial ma
o5ity In ngn.- commission baon comprising
under the minister of the interior to INQUIRE
into the Austro- German commercial relations
with view TO reciprocity. Experts appointed by
the Fedora government will assist in q revision
OF the Austro-ti erman treaty. Commu cations
from the m inistry of the interior have been sent
10 the leauing firms in Hamburg, Bremen, Bres-
lsu and other places to report on the effects of
the Mckinley bill in thei- lines of trade They
are also .sked what prospect there is for finding
new channels for the merchandise affected by
THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
The commission on foreign tariff further has to
consider the new Russian tariff. tariff COM
mission drawn from the public department of
the chief commercial interest of Russia aud pre-
sided over by the finance minister will beg n its
sittings next week for the purpose of deciding
upon the details of the new tariff.
While the government recognized the neces-
sity of considering these questions, officials
continue to doubt that any important al
teratio1s will be made in the existing
treaty with Austria and are equally sceptical as
to any German reprisals upon American trade
The reports thus far received at the ministry of
the interior tend to dispel the feeling of alarm
created by the augmented American tariff. The
leading export houses appear to be
DOING A NORMAL TRADE.
American orders for the leading commercial
certers no not appreciably diminish. However
the future may effect exports. the government
has time to pause and will not be driven
into concerted reprisals with Austria
BY a sudden collapse in the American trade.
The reports emznating from PARIS sand Vienna
attributing the imitation OF the proposed CON,
certed action against the Mckinley bill to the
Berlin government are utterly untrue. The tariff
negotiations with Austria originated solely with
Count Kalnosky, the Austrc- Hungarian prime
minister and are being continued without san
guine expectations on the part Of German Of
hcers.
