BERLIN, March S.-The government has
decided to open the business of the Reich
stag with projects prepared by the council
of state, foremost of which are bills regulat-
ing work on Sunday. and restricting the
hours of labor Of women and children. The
more complex measures relating to the
hours of male adults and the miners work
day will be reserved until the autumn ses-
sion. Simultaneously with the presentation
of social measures, increased army and
colonial credits will be demanded.
There will also be presented a bill
aiming to control strikes, and an
anti-anarchist measure designed to replace
the anti-socialist law. 1t is impossible to
foresee how the heterogeneous elements of
the Reichstag will group themselves upon
the governments proposal Official ex-
pectance is that the projects of the council
of state will be quietly discussed and ac-
cepted, but that the army credits and anti
anarchist law will test the position of the
government toward the majority.
DISSOLUTION POSSIBLE.
The freissinnige organs regard the credits
as put forward in order to force the center
TO declare its tactics, and they predict if
the centrists show their vote against the
government dissolution will be Immediately
pronounced, Prince Bismarck going TO the
country on the broad, simple platform of
the maintenance of the efficiency of the
army. The moderation Of the tone of the
centrist papers indicates an inten-
tion to form an alliance with
Prince Bismarck if the only remaining dis
abilities of Catholics are removed. The
Gernl0niG predicts the formation of
majority which will assist the government
in social reforms on a christian basis, the
maintenance Of protectionist duties, de-
fense of the rights of monarchy, and
strengthening Of the federal character of
the empire.
WANT TO HELP THE POPE.
If this were all the clerical party desired
a coalition of the conservatives and centrists
would be assured, but behind the smooth
home programme the Catholic leaders con-
ceal design to try to coerce the chancellor
into a startling change Of foreign policy
affecting the relations Of Italy and the vati-
can. Although the clerical press is reserved
on the subject suggestive illusions con-
stsntly recur to the resolutions adopted at
the Catholic congresses in favor of foreign
interv ention at Rome. The centrist leaders
are too sagacious to insist upon q change
of Prince Bismarck's policy to-
ward Italy as an immediate
condition of their support The first terms
asked will be educational concessions.
When these shall have been granted what
ever pressure the centrists can exercise
they will concentrate upon an effort to
effect rupture of the existing compact
with the quirinal.
THE ANTI-ANARCHIsT BILL.
The anti-anarchistic bill is the emperor's
inspiration. and was assentsd TO by Prince
Bismarck. 1t is the anti-socialist law under
new name. The exact provisions of the
measure are unknown, but it is understood
that the expulsion clause of the anti-social-
iSt law is omitted. and that the bill permits
wider freedom of discussion in the press
and on the platform, and enacts severer
penalties against assailants of the crown
and government
ABSoLUTISM RUN RIOT
The emperor's speech at Brandenburg
Wednesday continues to excite the greatest
public interest The Office version in the
North German Gazette, instead Of modify
ing, intelslties the emperor's declaration of
absolutism. Throughout the speech the
emperor asserted in the most emphatic Ian
guage his personal authority and his re-
sponSibility to God. In a most remarkable
passage, which will be forever memorable,
he said: II see in the people and land en-
trusted to me byEGod a.talent which, as ths
Bible says, it is my duty to increase.
mean with all my strength to so trade with
my talent that l will be enabled to add
many another thereto. Those who help
me, heartily welcome ;sthose who oppose
me, dash to pieces"
LIVELY COMMENT EXCITED.
The final phrase evoked the liveliest COM
ment. The semi-official press holds that it
is not to be regarded as threatening moral
opposition, but merely physical and violent
resistance to the law. The conservative

spirit that has always animated the kings

leading to a strong home and foreign policy,

The liberals value the speech as placing
under a white light the character of the
monarch who deems himself the sole arbiter

| that the various parties in the Reichstag
want to carry out their own ideas and not
his, and who is foolish enough to threaten
to dash people to pieces on the eve of the
meeting of parliament In which the gov

| a DICTATORSHIP URGED.
The PomerGnian Reichspost urges the
emperor to establish dictatorship. Other
papers advise the suppression Of universal
suffrage and suspension Of the sittings of
the Reichstag if the opposition becomes
| violent.
The Rheinische WestphdIische ZeitUng, a
Bismarckian organ, asserts on authority
that the chancellor, freely criticising the
result of the election, said: 1--WE shall leave
the new Reichstag to cook in its own
! juice"
The centrist WestphdLische Merhcur to-
| day asserts that the chancellorship crisis ia
renewed, and that the retirement of Prince
Bismarck is imminent. The article dis

onment at hard labor for committing per-
