The international Labor Conference.

BERLIN, March b. Copyright 1890 by
the New York Associated Press. Shorty
before the time fixed for the international
visited Bismarck and had long interview
with the chancellor Baron Won Berlepsch,
Prussian minister of commerce, was sum-
moned to the conference and received in
structions before going to the congress hall.
His opening address to the delegates
had no distinctive character The views
of the Emperor, he said, on the labor ques-
ton demanded the attention of all civilized
nations, since peace between the different
classes of population appeared to be i'm
perilled by industrial competition. TO seek
a solution of this question was not only a
duty of humanity, but also the duty of
statesmen, upon whose sagacity a tax was
levied providing for the welfare of citizens
and preserving to them the inestimable
blessings arising from centuries OF
Christian civilization. All the ma
TONS of Europe were in a SINH
lar situation, hence the attempt was
justifable ton bring about an agree
ment between the governments, in order
to meet their common dangers by combined
preventive measures. He trusted that the
deliberations would not be without results.
In conclusion, he expressed the conviction
that the labors of the conference would
have a beneficial influence throughout Eu-
rope.
The Emperor will give grand dinner to
the delegates and the whole diplomatic
body. 1t is expected that five plenary sit
tings will suffice to register sectional deci-
sions, most of which will have an academic
character The conference will terminate
at latest by March 30.
Negotiations over the formation of a
Cartel clerical majority progresses.
The Emperor accorded an audience to
Windthorst, clerical leader, Wednesday,
and Bismarck and Windthorst had pro-
longed interview Thursday. The terms of
the entente urged by Windthorst included
an Intervention in favor of the Pope
against the Quirinal. The Emperor is
credited with advising Windthorst to
use discretion in his demands,
saying he must not forget he
was the steadfast ally of Italy.
The H,rmbHrq Ndchrichte4, in semi-of-
fetal article, alludes to the overtures made
by Bismarck to Baron Schorlemeralst,
leader of the conservative section of the
Centrists, and says the move is directed
against Windthorn, if he persists in refus-
ing to agree to an extent, unless he obtains
an alteration of Germauy's policy towards
Italy. The baron attaches no immediate
importance to the Vatican Quirinal ques
ton than to the restoration of the
privileges of German Catholics.
The debate in the lower house of the
Prussian diet disclosed the fact that the
Conservatives are alarmed over the En-
peror's course in favoring the working
men. The complaints of the strikers, ac-
cording to Bergen, are unfounded and have
affected the trade of the whole country.
The Emperor's countenance, he declares,
has assisted in strengthening the Social
lists The visit of three united rifle corps
from New York is announced.
The Madgeburg Isrdelttchcs WorchenbEat
reports that petition is in circulation
among the rabbis of Europe and America
begging the Pope to end the calumny that
the Jews use human blood in their sacri-
flee by ordering formal denial throughout
the Catholic churches.
Premier Leitz in the diet to day declared
the government had informed the Catholics
they could no longer be recognized as mem
bers of the Catholic church, in view of
their rejection of Vaticanism and other
doctrines of the church.
