BERLIN, May 10.-The Reichstag, begin
ming the active labors of the session on
Monday with debate on the East Africa
credits has only six weeks work before pro-
rogation, which has been fixed for June 20.
Consideration of the military bill will
precede measures for benefting work.
ingmen. Not much will be heard of
the much mentioned measures before
adjournment. Since the labor bill was is
sued Wednesday, scrutiny reveals num-
Der of riders to the main proposals tending
to make illusory some of the best provisions
Of the measure by giving employers means
of escaping them. Thus, under special cir
cumstances employers can he authorized TO
break the rule limiting the work of children
under 13 years to six hours and of youths
spinning factories and similar occupations
where exceptions may be granted, Of which
employers may readily avail themselves
PUTTING UP MEN OF STRAW
Another clause transfers the responsibility
for any breach of the law to the managers
or foreman, thus opening the way for eva
sions and making men of straw answerable
instead of the principals. The proposals re-
lating to breaches of contract are held by the
Freisininge party and socialists to be dis
guised attacks upon the right of coalition
and gives further powers for the suppression
of strikes. The opposition gathers force,
the socialists declaring that the supposed
new era Of labor reforms differs little from
the Bismarckian era, and the bill will be a
deception unless modified. This spirit of
opposition promises irritating debates be-
fore the House can dispose of the labor bill.
A PERMANENT LABOR COUNCIL.
Another labor conference having influ-
ence in moulding the final form of the bill
will be held here. The emperor intends to
summon delegates from every trade in Ger
many to discuss trade questions, and he
proposes to establish a special permanent
operatives council under the presidency Of
Baron Won Burlapsch minister of commerce,
each member having 10000 marks yearly
with the title of arbitzF ath. The members
of the council will be selected
from delegates to the conference. The
project is obviously in the same line as the
labor schemes aiming to give imperial con-
troll of workingmen with purchased power
over salaried leaders. Socialists like Vol
mar, Liebknecht and Bebel, who are inn
pregnable TO money considerations, will re-
sent the emperor's offer.
THE MILITARY BILL.
The military bill will be the first to lead
to some definition of the party groups. The
solicialisS section, the freislnuige section
and the center section are expected to op-
pose the bill. Still the government will
have a large majority. The Freisinnige
party continues to be ,weake eled
through internal dissensions, largely of a
personal character. Rickert, Barth and
Schroeder are still aiming to get rid Of
Richter's leadership.
Prince Schoenach Karolath, whose
humanitarian grafton at the last session
created so much attention, has seeded from
the Reichsparti and gone over to the ma
tional liberals He has just become grand
master of the Grand Orient Of Prussia, He
will infuse a stronger spirit of liberalism
among the national liberals.
WHITE BOOK ON EAST AFRICA.
a white book on East Africa was issued
to-day preparatory to Mondays debate. 1t
gives dispatch from Maj. Wissmann stat
ing that Emin Pasha strongly desired to
place his experience at the disposition of
the Germ service, and begged that his
offer might be placed before the emperor
and Prince Bismarck. Prince Bismarck
replies: "Emin's offer is welcome. Inform
me exactly Of his wishes" Maj. Wissmann
thereupon arranged the existing engage
tact with Maj. Wissmann had been eager
to escape from English influences. The
white book describes the promise of con-
solidation Of German powers till the
capture of Kilwa Chancellor
Won Caprivi is to inform the house as to
the condition of the negotiat tions with
England on the delimitatlon of the bound
aries in Africa. The English envoy, Sir
Anderson, declines to admit Germauy's
oil axtandifor har frOf7fiat- fo bo
Free State. He claims that the English in
fuencs extends from Victoria Nyanza to
Albert NyanZa, including the whole basin
of the White Nile. 1t is obviously the aim
of Lord Salisbury's government to grasp
the territorial line from South Africa to
Soudan.
THE KAISER AND BISMARCK.
Prince Bismarck, during the week, re-
ceived several communications from the
emperor, couched in friendly terms, but
practically suggesting that retirement from
office should involve political inactivity.
Herren Boucher and Poshenger stayed two
days at Freiderichsruhe, and left i'm
pressed with the conviction that the ex-
chancellor considered himself still the most
potent influence in the empire, believing
that the emperor, before long, will be OBJ
liged to recall him to extricate the govern
ment from the difficulties in which he will
have plunged it. He freely expressed dis
content because the emperor in the speech
from the throne omitted reference
to his dismissal. The emperor denies that
dismissal" is the phrase. If the prince had
not several times offered to resign the en-
peror would not have taken advantage of
the last threat to part with him. The
threat was first made verbally, then re-
quest for permission to resign was made In
writing aud was granted.
BIsMARcK's INDULGENcEs.
The Fresinnige Zeitung is gaining bad
notorfety through its publication Of scandals
in regard to Prince Bismarck. 1t declares
that medical specialist knows that the ex-
chancellor is suffering from alcoholism and
not the morphine habit. Prince Bismarck's
friends do not heed the remarks and his
enemies are disgusted by them.
The emperor will go to 81 esia Tomorrow
to shoot on the estates Of Count Hochberg.
A queer issue has arisen with the czar
over his meeting with Emperor William at
the coming maneuwres at Krasnoesclo. Last
year at the imperial meeting their majesties
spoke French. Emperor William recently
instructed Gen. Won Schweinitz, the Ger
man minister to Russia, to ask the czar to
use the German language. Gen.
Schweinitz referred the request to
M. de Giers, Russia's prime min
lister, in the Russian language.
promising that at the next visit Of the czar
to Germany Emperor William would speak
the Russian language and would cause
everybody around the czar to use the same
