BERLIN. Anril 1S.-Prince Bismarck has
tacStly consented to stand for the reballot
in Geestem nde, but has also consented to
become candidate for the Lehe district,
where he is certain of being returned. With
the exception of the Socialists, who are
radiant over the poll in favor of their man.
no party is without feeling of humiliation
reSu nng from the election. Reports state
that the ProgreSsists on the rebalio. will
vote for Bismarck or abstain from voting.
Half the repentant expressions from the OPP
pOnents of Bismarck are accompanied in
several papers with the suggestion that
now he has got lesson to tone down his
pride the electorate ought to recognize
his services to the nation by giving him an
overwhelming majority. The satisfaction
in court circles over the check of the Prin e
has been alloyed BY the revelation of the
strength of the Socialists.
INTERFERENCE OF STATE OFFICIALS.
II is known that State officials actively In
terfered in the contest especially in the
rural parts OF the constituency, using the
severest pressure against Bismarck II this
d not been done, Geestemunde would
have been dishOnored by IN event which is
regretted throughout the country.
The Emperor is cred ted with the inten-
tIon of dissolYing the Reichstag should Bis
marck succeed in forming Conservative
National Liberal coalition against the Gov
eTnment. As general election, however,
would ce ertainly imperil the seats of a num-
Der of BIsmarckians and gTeItly re- enforce
the Socialistc part Of the House, the En-
peror may pause.
TRADES REGULATION BILL.
The Reiehstag continues the debate on
the trades regulation bill. Minister Won
Berlepsch opposed the Socialist motion fix
Ing the maximum day for women at ten
hours. Finally the bill was amended by
securing for women prolonged rest hours
during working days and a shorter day for
adult males. The Progressive and Socialist
organs, however, vigorously denounce the
amendment that workmen breaking their
contracts by leaving work without due
notice, etc, must pay indemnity based on
the ratio of their salary. There Is no
reciprocal clause clause providing for the
ment by employers. The papers say this
accentuates the antagonism between capital
and labor.
FLAG PRESENTATIONS.
The ceremony of mailing the new colors
of several regiments TO the stats occurred
to-day before the Royal SchlOss. All the
imperial family and many other notableS
were present. The Emperor handed over
the ColUrs to the various divisions. The
men were afterward massed in front of the
Emperor and he expressed confidence that
the honor Of the German ii hlg would always
be upheld, securing the safety of the father
land and the glory Of the army.
AN OLD SCHEME.
According to Vienna advces the old
scheme Of a European zoIlverein-having
among It's leading aims retaliation upon the
American, French and Russian tariffS-wll
shortly be the subject Of conference at
Vienna to which Germany, Italy, Austria
Hungary, Switzerland and Belgium will
send delegates. Officials here deny all
knowledge Of any such negotiations, and il
Is stated that the Frankfort treaty, which
secures to France any tariff conceded to
Austria, Belgium or Switzerland, blocks
Germany from entering such union.
ADVISED TO APOLOGIZE.
Emperor William interf, red in the quarrel
between Prince Henry of Rouss, the Ger
man Embassador to Austria, and II. Vacar-
eSco. late ROumanian Minister al Vienna.
His Majesty expressed his disapproval OF
the affrOnt offered by the wife Of the Prince
to the son of VacaTe7co ard adYi ed the
Prince to make reparatiOn for tie insult.
Young VacarescO will marry On the 23th
inst. a rich heiress. The King of Roumania
will attend the wedding. The Austrian
Archdukes leading diplOmates and other
persons of note have made demonstration
