BERLIN, March by the results Of
the second ballot reported to-day the
disastrous defeat of the Cartel coalition
is confirmed. and the same figures put
in stronger light this triumph OF the
German liberals and sociaiists Four
districts In the city, in which the first
canvass was undecided, have been car
rlod by the German liberals. The re-.
turns from the provinces, received up to
$3.50 j. NJ, con tinuo TO disclose in every
direction the defeat of the national lib
erals and the success OF the popular can
didates of various stripes. l'urhnps the
most surprising feature of this activity
OF the popular element is the lively re-
appearance ofthe walks party, or demo-
Gratis, In all the districts where the so
cialists did not put mp candidates.
BisMAECK's NEW SCHEME.
Bismarck Is already actively planning
and negotiating for the reconstruction
of tie government majority by u
manipulation of the parties. In the
scheme the center party will replace the
national liberals that stood in the Cartel
group.
rllE PREMiER's CONTROL REsroRED.
The elections have resulted in the full
restoration oftle princes control over
the emperor. lie never seriously in.
tended to retire, but would have retired
rather than have played the part OF
tgurohead. His giving out of his pur.
pose To resign called the emperor's at
tention to the fact that this would be the
logical conseq uence of his separating
himself entirely from the chancellor,
and this doubtless led him. to reflect
upon what he was to do without him.
As soon as the adverse result OF the
al.
must have lo0med up as one of serious
moment, and tlll this led to the emper-
ors unqualified adhesion to the princes
projected parli an. entary tactics.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE VATICAN.
The first measure showing the drift Of
the scheme IL the revival of the active
relations with the vatican. In an i'm
portant dispatch Bisn. drck requests the
Popes opinions and recommendations
as to tue details ot the restitution to the
Catholic clergy of the sums sequestrated
during the KulturkampE The report
also credits the emperor with having
written personally To the pope in cou-
necton with his purposed alliance of
state socialism with the Christian social
ism endowed In the papal ailocutions,
sENr-orFiCtAL PREss COMMENT.
Another significant fact Is that the
North German Gazette throws over the
national liberals, with tn declaration
that the two great parties. the conscrya.
tiyes and the centrists, have come
through the electoral conflict intact, and
are pledged to maintain the progress
already made in social reforms, and to
initiate and carry out new rforms.

dilatc upon he theme thu, 4 the Cath
Ollie aspiration for reg,il ,osd social re-
organization, the party Is working upon
common ground with the govern m ent,
as the governments policy Is shown in
the emperor recent utterlnces.
THt EMPERoE's PURPOSE.
In addressing the council of state at
the close of to-day's session, the eni-
poror declared that his aim on
the social problem was not ideal,
lie did not hope to discover some
grand remedy for the cure of all social
q ills, lie desired rather and simply
that "a determined effort be made TO find
the means OF satisfying the legal de-
mauds and just wishes of the working
people.
THE LABOR CoSPkRENCE.
II Is not thought that the coming in
ternational labor congress will amount
to much although the emperor is SAN
guine. England and France having OBJ
jccted to the consideration OF the miner
troubles, this part of the programme h as
been amended and practically with
drawn. Thus the conference already
assumed the character of an academic
meeting, IN which many theoretical su A.
gestions will be made.
