| Berlin Feb. s-OpnlOn incines to the view that
the Emperors socalistc propositions will never lead
to any practical result: and the more closely thc
rcscrpts examined. the more the scepticlSm grows
It is already recognized altogether improbable that
the European Powers, If invited Will assent to
take part in such international conference as that
upon which the Emperor addresses bismarck IN MS
first rescript England France, Belgium and Switzer'
land named by the Emperor as involved III MS
scheme but this Of the names of those states has
! been made without any understanding with any one
Of Them His Majesty, in fact, says that he desires
that the Ambassadors Of those nations be sounded on
the subject but he does not even direct the opening
OF negotiation, and. in fact none has been opened.
1t has been published that switzerland accepts the
project but this is apparently an inference DaSeo
upon the fact that switzerland herself formerly
cndcavored 10 initiate such a proceeding Inc
Marquis Of Salisbury declined the Swiss invitation
TO the labor conference 1t does not necessarily
follow, however. that he would refuse an invitation
from the Emperor Of Germany because he refused
one from the Helvctan Republic. The French press,
| as whole treats the idea Of the conference
an insult.
The obvious futillty Of the general propositions
touched in the rcscrpts has led TO the report that
the conference will ignore the subject Of minimum
| wages, limiting itself 10 the consideration OF the
Industrial employment Of women and children, the
!
eight hours for day movement There Is no author
ty for this report. which implies that the project Of
| the rcscrpts has reached point where a regular
| programme las been drawn mp. The semi-oiicill
| press admits that this agreement upon the agendl
u the conference upon the true basis Of negotiation
and the limitation Of inquiry viii, IN consequence OF
the difference Of system in various countries, be the
really difficult point, but the private opinion In all
Official circles i that conference Will ever meet
II any important fact is to fow from these
| DEGREES. is viii hc from that part OF them
which propose, Internal CHANGE new labor
! legislation and the reform Of the relations existing
/ between employer, and workers. The first fact will
be the special commission which Will be convened
| here 10 prepare bills for the next
! Rcichstae. This is 10 be composed In
| equal parts Of worlSingmen and employers.
| SUNNI who next to Krupp, Is the largest employer
Of labor in GERMANY likely 10 preside over this
| mission. Its projects will Doe examined by tho
Council Of State before they submitted to the
| Rcchstag. The Council Of state IS not body that
possesses in aiy great degree the confidence ard good
Will Of tho popula.. and worliugmcn mUrmur at the
notion that II is first 10 sit m Judgment uDon the laws
that 10 initiate their Utopia. II Is said, there

now composed OF eighty members. hfty Of whom are
officials or generals, and there are orlv eight mon in
