The morning call., 1891-01-11

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-'Ihe Landtag resumed
its sitting yesterday, but legislation is in a
state of suspense, owing to the continuance
OF the conflict between the Conservative
majority and the Government The Com.
munal Reform Bill is still in the hands OF
the commission. In conversation with the
commission the Chancellor appealed to their
sentiment Of fidelity and promised conces-
slons in favor of the agricultural interests
Of the country in Government measures in
return for their acquiescence in local re-
forms. He warned them that persistent op-
position wc'lld create serious difficulties for
the monarchy. In spite of this, however,
there are no apparent signs of a COM
promise yet a number of members of the
old Cartel party are endeavoring to ar
range the formation of a Bismarck group
in the Reichstag or Landtag.
They have asked Bismarck's formal sane
ton, and in reply lie sent word that he
would not prevent member from follow
ing his known policy, or from claiming
authority Of his name so long as his opin-
ions were observed. This qualified sane
ton is interpreted as meaning that he will
not seek at present publicity to lead the
party, although he is willing to direct their
parliamentary operations. The Liberal
organs generally see in this an early disso-
luton OF Parliament.
KOCH's LYMPH.
Under the influence OF unfavorabe opin-
ion of Professor VirchOw and other pr0mi-
nent physicians regarding the Koch remedy,
the Government has come to a pause over
the proposed bill making lymph the prop
erty of the State Minister Won Gossler has
postponed the introduction Of the bill, and
this leads to rumors that the Minister de-
sires to reconsider the arrangement made
with Koch. The kleine journal affirms that
it is doubtful If the Ministry will now ad-
here TO the agreement. The Koch circular
on the other hand states that the relations
between Koch and Minister Won Gussler
are unchanged, and that the introduc ton of
the bill IS delayed because the apparatus
for the State production of lymph is still
incomplete.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS STATEMENT.
Court talk now turns upon the Emperor 5
remarks 10 high dignitaries of the court con-
cerning Bismarck. The Emperor said: 1T
Is desirable that he be made 10 understand
that his time for politics has passed. He
ought not to attempt TO play any role
especially that of opposition. Everybody
who knows him intimately can see that he
does not conn rehend the needs Of our time"
The Emperor's words referred directly to
the encouragement being given by Bismarck

BIsMARCK's LATEST.
The latest interview accorded to Bis
marck, which was given to the journalist
Max Bewer, exhibits him as absorbed il
the enjoyment of domestic life. On the
subject of France, Bismarck's s most incisive
utterance was as follows: ut is impossible
TO eXterminate the French. Germany will
never wage merely prOphylactic war.
Whatever enemy of ours gets the best pow-
der first Will give the signal for an attack.
As to the notion that after the next war
eternal peace will reign in Europe, l can
not think it."
BEHRING SEA CONTROVERSY.
The Behring Sea question is discussed by
the press of the country as having no special
relation 10 German interests. The tendency
Of opinion is distinctly in favor of arbitra-
ton. Reports which, however, are uncon-
frmed credit the Government with taking
the initiative in suggesting that the Govern
ments at London and Washington appoint
an arbitration tribunal, composed of eminent
lurlsts selected from neutral powers. The
idea is secuted that the difference can pos
sibly result i'll an armed conflict.
