issued on " edHeSday scrutiny reveals
Il number of orders I'd the main pro-
pOsals tending to make ilIuSory some of
the best provisions of the measure by
giving employers means of escaping
them. Thus under special circum-
stances employers can be authorized
to break the rule limiting the work of
children under thirteen years to six
hours, and of youths under sixteen TO
ten hours. The bill mentions spinning
factories and similar occupations when
exceptions may be granted, of which
the employers NAV avail themselves.
Another clause transfers direct reSpon-
sibility for breach of the laws from
the employers to the managers or fore
man, thus opening a way for eyasi0ns
and

answerable instead of the principals.
The proposals relating to breach of
contracts are held by the FreiSinnige
party and the socialists to be disguised
attacks upon the rightof coalition, lead
ing to further powers for the suppress
sion of strikes. The opposition
gathers force, the socialists de-
claring that the supposed new era of
labor reforms differs little from the Bis
MARKHAM era, and that the bill will be
deception unless much modified. This
spirit of the opposition promiS Sc
Huence of irritating debates before the
house can dispose OF the labor bill.
Another labor conference having inhu-
ence in moulding the final form of the
bill will be held here. The emperor
intends to summon delegates from cyl
cry trade in Germany to discuss trade
questions and he proposes to establish
"A special peTmanentO operatives council,
under the presidency Of Baron Won Ber-
lepsch, minister Of commerce, each
member having salary of 1000 marks
yearly, with the title of arbitsrath. The
members of the council will be selected
from the delegates to the conference.
THE project is obviously in the same
line as the labor schemes aiming to
give imperial control OF the working
men, with purchase power over the
6alaried leaders. Socialists like Voll-
mar, Lieblnecht and Bebel, who are
fmpregnablc to money considerations,
will resent the emperors offers.
The military bill will be the first to
lead to some definition of the party
groups. The Socialist section, the
Freisinnige section and the Center see
lion are expected to oppose the bill.
Still the government Will have a large
majority. The FreiSinnigt party con-
tinues to be weakened through internal
IlissenSiOn, largely of a personal charac-
ter. Rickert, Barth and Sehrader are
still aiming to get
Rid of tichter's Leadership.
Prince SchOenach- KarOlath, whose
humanitarian Grafton at the last session
attracted so much attention, has reeeded |
from the rechpartei and gone over to
the National Liberals. He had just be-
come grand master of the Grand
Orient of Prussia. He will in
fuse q stronger spirit of liberal
ism among the National Liberals.
A white book on East Africa was issued
to-day preparatory to Mondays debate.

begged that his offer might be placed
before the emperor and Prince Bis

"'Emin'S offer is welcome. Inform me
exactly of his wishes" Maj. Wissmann

from the emperor cOuched in friendly

plunged it. He freely expressed his
discomfort because the emperor in his
speech from the throne omitted refer
ence to his dismissal. The emperor
says that dismissal" is the right
phrase. If the prince had not

emperor would not have taken adj

is suffering from alcoholism and not

do not heed the attacks. and even his
enemies are disguised by them. The
emperor will go to Silesia tomorrow
TO shoot on the estates of Count

with the ear over the meeting
with Emperor William at the coming
maneuevers at KrasnoeselO. Last year
