of the government in some important
internal concerns. The princes objec-
ton to the tone of the speech from the
throne has been commented on for some
days. The fact that the Objectionable
part was the reference to labor troubles,
and that Herr Won Berlepsch has been
appointed to q place in the ministry, Civ
ing him control of those things practi-
eally in place of Bismarck, seems to
imply that the emperor intends that
those things shall be put in the hands
of one in sympathy with the
ideas set forth in the speech.
Within these few days the
emperor has received success
lively all the leaders of the different
groups included in the Cartel coalition,
and he is in conference every day with
some prominent member of the govern
mPnt groups, having a free interchange
of views and communicating his own
ideas on the proper management of the
elections. There is very great con-
trast between his
APPARENT SELF-EFFACEMENT
and his actual activity: and yet
greater contrast between his demeanOr
and that of Prince Bismarck, who,
though he has accorded Interviews. on
request, TO Herr Won PenningSen. Prince
Schoetaich-Carola and Others, has,
nevertheless, maintained singular ret
icence as to the policy TO be pursued
in the elections. His silence en-
harnesses the government candidates
as to the ground they shall take
in their campaign Nominations,
and the prince has been asked to seize
the first occasion to make such state
ment as would give to the candidates
keynote for their programmes. He was
even specifically asked to take this lead
in the lower house of the Prussian diet.
He returned to this request an indeti-
mite response, which left the impression
that he would make declaration upon
the eve of adjournment at a conference
of the Cartellers. In the landtag to-day
it was announced that the chancellor
did not intend to address the house. All
this adds to the conviction that there is
a difference of opinion in high places
on internal policy, and suggests more
over, that the difference is of a seri-
Gus nature. In consequence of this
statement it was decided to adjourn
the diet on the 1lth inst. until
the 23d, when the elections will be over,
and in the meantime to make another
effort to induce the chancellor to give
u liOJC OllOJ OllOulu OOl w 90 q
ing cry to the supporters OF the govern
ment. The National Zeitung does not
give any insight into the intentions of
the government. 1t only continues to
proclaim the sOliditY of the Can tel COM
bination. and to predict that there will
ultimately be full agreement between
the government and the National iber-
ais on the
EXPULSION OF THE SOCIALISTS,
but it avoids formulating any electoral
platform. indicating apparently that its
inspiration is only the leftover thunder
supplied while the debate was going on
in the reichstag. and that it has made
the suggestions applicable to the actual
situation of things. Prince 3 smarck's
letter to Herr Won Schloezer, the Ger
man ambassador to the Vatican, is pub
lished obviously to influence the
opinions of Catholic voters. 1t declares
that the government sees with pleasure
the establishment of Catholic missions
in German colonies, promises that all
religious orders shall he admitted, in
Guiding the JeSuits, and that all may
rest assured of the protection of
Germany. Cardinal RampOlla has
responded. expressing the extreme
satisfaction of the pope at this
step. and making his congratulations
upon this further advance toward COM
plete concord. The appointment of Won
BerlepSch to be minister of commerce
and mines is regarded by many as an
electoral ruse intended to catch for gov
eminent candidates the votes of min
ers pleased with the fancy that the gov
eminent is ready TO do great things for
them-to make law that will reduce
the hours of labor, increase wages and
generally protect the workingmen.

government but little. and indicates
mainly an endeaVOr TO modify the Cath
Ollie opposition and draw workingmen
with hopes away from the magnetic
agitatOrS of the socialists. Forecasts
of the results of the elections are gener-
ally to the effect that the German Con-
servatives, the ReichSDartei and the
Center party will remain nearly intact;
that the German liberals will lose sew
eral seats, which will go to the Social
lists. The National Liberals.
ARE IN THE GREATEST DANGER,
as it is thought they will lose twenty
five seats. The socialists hope to in
crease their strength from eleven i'm the
last reichstag TO fOrty-twO in the next,
gaining six from the German Liberals
and twenty-five from the National Lib
erals. OvertureS were made by Herr
Eugene Richter and other leaders of the
German Liberals to the socialists upon
the proposition to act in concert and
agree that the National Liberals should
support a socialist where the combina-
ton might then defeat a government
candidate, and that the socialists should
other place where the scheme would
apply. This sound political theory
was not favored by the So
cialists. who preferred to work
by themselves everywhere with
out relation to doubtful allies.
The new reichstag is conyoked for the
middle of March. 1t is likely to present
formidable phalanX of socialists, who,
combining with the Center party and
the German Liberals, will easily out
vote the government groups. The fol-
efgn Office regards the agreement be-
tween the Germans and CZechs in Be-
hemia as a triumph for the diplomacy of
Prince Bismarck and the personal infiu-
ence of Emperor William. Incessant
efforts have been made by Prince Bis
marek, through the Prince de Reuss,
the German ambassador at Vienna, to
induce Emperor Francis Joseph to
adopt policy that should tend to re-
cover for the Germans the greater share
in the government of the Austrian en-
pire. The semi-official declaration of
Lu6 ldClo put lOl I'll liOtll l6lllld ADMITS
that the foreign policy of the empire
weighed with the emperor as the main
consideration in the case; that it was
NECESSARY TO END RACE QUARRELs
to enable Austria to stand on an
equality with her allies in the triple al
lance and be respected by Russia as
soundly-conStitute great power. In
consequence of the German triumph in
Bohemia a meeting of the emperOrs is
projected at Breslau. Emperor Francis
Joseph promises to be present at the
army maneuvers around LiegnitZ
when Emperor William has his head
quarters at Breslau. Among the press
comments on the Samoan treaty there
appears in the Frankfurt Zeitung no.
table criticism on the adverse reception
of the treaty by section of the Ameri
can press. The Zetung wonders that
any American paper could express dis
