over the formation of a cartel clerical ma
jority progress. The emperor accorded an
audience to Herr Wind b rst, the clerical
leader, Wednesday. and Prince Bismarck
and Herr Windthorst had prolonged inter-
view Thursday. The terms OF entente
urged by Herr Windthorst included
intervention in favor Of the pope against
the quirinal. The emperor is credited
with advising Herr Windthorst to use dis
cretion in his demands, saying that he was
steadfas' ally of Italy.
The North German Gazette favorably
discusses the prospects Of a conservative
centrist alliance.
TREATING WITH THE CZNTRISrs.
The Hamburger Nachrich en-, in semi
official article, alludes to overtures made
/ Y Prince Bismarck to Baron Schorlemer-
ast, leader of the conservative section OF
tie ceutrists, and says the move is directed
against Herr Windthorst if he persists in
refusing to agree to an ententeur unless he
obtains an alteration of Germanys policy
toward Italy. The baron attaches less ini-
mediate importance to the vatlcan-quiri-
nal question than to the restoration of the
privile res Of Ge man Catholics
The Kreuz Zeitung published a pretended
interview with socialist chief, in which it
was announced that the socialists would
support the emperor and the monarchy if
they obtained the reforms foreshadowed in
the imperial rescripts. The press generally
drew hattering conclusions from the an
nouncement of thy cessation Of the socialist
agitation.
BEBEL REPUDIATEs THE INTERVIEW.
The VolkSbldtt, Herr Bebel's organ, de-
nounceS the interview as false, and says
that the socialists do no. dream of abandon
ing the principles of their line of conduct.
They would support the emperor or any one
else promoting social reforms. A strong
section of the party recognizes the absolute
impossibIlity of arriving at any compromise
between monarchy and social democracy.
THE CONSERVATIVES ALARMED.
The debate in the lower house of the
Prussian Diet discloses the fact that the
conser rvatives are alarmed oyer the en-
peror's course in favoring the workiagmen.
To-day Herr Berger asked who had in
duced the emperor to receive q deputation
| from the Westphaian miners who sent
three noted socialists to represent them.
| The complaints of the strikers, according
| to Herr Berger, are unfounded, and have
affected the trade of the whole country.
| The emperor's countenance, he declared,
has assisted in strengthening the socialists.
! Herr Won Eynern followed in the same
! strain. He feared that the workmen's
| committee would produce permanent war
between employers and employed.
THE EMPEROR DEFENDED.
Count Limbury Shrum defended the en-
| peror's action. He said that the fact that a
strong minority had taken up the gu sti)n
was a arantee of practical and good
issue and was the only stable point of the
| whole movement.
The visit of the three united rife
corps from New York is an
no1nced. Capt Seburg has engaged ninety
rooms in tne Central hotel, and ten Others
| have been reserved i'll case OF need.
DON'T USE HUMAN RLooD.
The Mddgeburg IsrdeIitishe Worchen-
| bLdtt reports that petition is in circulation
| among the rabbs of Europa aud America
begging the pope TO end the calumny that
| the Jews use human blood in religious &C.
rltice by ordering a formal denial through
out the Catholic churches.
Premier Deitz in the Bavarian diet de-
clared that the government had informed
the Old Ca holics that they could no longer
