BERLIN, May 3d.-The first prominent
result of the Mayday agitation has been a
formidable movement among the manu.
facturers, merchants, mine owners and
others employing large numbers of hands
to promote the formation of German
union against strikes.
The idea had its origin in communica-
tons that passed between the mercnauts'
and manufacturers associations here and
kindred orgab zstoDs in other places re.
garding the Maydsy demonstrations. at

hailed the May-day tiasco as victory OF
the masters over the men.
Most of the newspapers similarly draw

The Hamburger Nachtrichter gives a new
and startling phase to the secret history of
Bismarck's retirement by stating as posi-
tive fact that the Emperor's mind is preiu-

believe the Prince took such large doses of
morphine that he often lost the power of

Bismarck resented the inquiries put to
his doctor, although the answers received
by the Emperor convinced him that the
reports were groundless. At the same
time interested persons busted themselves

solved to resign. The article indicated
desire on the part of Bismarck to renew
close relations with the Emperor.
