BERLIN, May 2-The prospect of Bis
marek's early temperance in the Reich
stag has given an impetus to the Govern
ments plans for the Cancellation of the
various parties, so as to render them ready
to cualesce in the Governments interest.
The Center and FreisiDuge parties and the
Guelphs and Poles in turn receive Govern
ment inducements. The recently developed
tendencies of the Government toward the
Cancellation OF the Poles ought to be as
cribed in part to the quickened sense of jus.
tice in dealing with them. Whatever mixed
motives may animate the Government the
Poles of Western Prussia and Posen have
been favorably influenced by the freer use of
their national language in the schools. by
the greater facilities afforded them for the
requirement and sale of land and by the in
creased courtesy accorded by officers to
Polish families.
CoNCILIATING THE POLES.
To-day's debate in the Lower House of
the Diet on the budget commission for the
German col0nizing of Western Prussia occa-
stoned remarks touching the Governments
| policy in POSen, and provoked Chancellor
Won Caprivi to explain. He denied that the
| Government had conceded to the Poles any
thing beyond what came within the scope Of
the settlement law. 1t had met the wishes
! OF tine Poles as regards both school and
! church. The Poles, on their part, had mani
! tested a desire to bring themselves into
| closer accord with the Government. This,
| the Chancellor said, was indeed pleasant
| and surprising change. If the Poles wuuld
fuI-a Loo bg IF lTa-
| ton the Government and Germans were
ready to follow.
BISMARCK'S POLICY OUTLINED.
| Bismarck 5 victory is modified by the fact
| that he pOlled 2000 fewer votes than did his
/ National Liberal predecessor. The Social
! list ballot was REINFORCED by over 1000
! Guelphists and FrriSiBnige voters whose
| hatred of the Prince exeeeded their dislike
! of the Socialists. The Prince, in an inter-
| view OF the eve of the reball0t, declared
| that If he went to the Reiehstag he w0nld
never attack any policy directly initiated by
| the Emperor, and that his line of conduct
would be the same as that followed by him
since be left Berlin. lie was convinced
that tie greatest danger to the fatherand
was not from without but within. He
would not refrain from exposing it, but he
certainly would never say anything TO give
his opponents reason to charge him with
| attacking the Emperor from personal mo-
! tives. This sort of assurances promises
/ lively times in the Reichstag.
A DEMAND FOR THE PRINCE.
The hamburger NaChrichten holds that
J the death OF Won MOltke adds to the desire
of Germany to see Bismarck in the front
rank of politics. "A sentiment of disgust -
says the NachTchtcn, fills the empire. The
future is uncertain. The new men into
whose hands has been cOnfded the destinies
Of the fatherlaRd cannot TeaSsure the cOun-
try" The FreiSinnge and Centrist press
are indignant at this language.
AN AMERICAN OFFICER HoNORED.
The Austro-Germau plenipotentiaries will
sign a treaty Of commerce at Vienna to-
morrow.
The American Department of the Inter
national Art Exhibition is a thorough sue
cess.
The appointment of Lieutenant Clarke
of TIE United States Cavalry to serve with
the Dusseldorf Hussars has evoked approx
ing comments from the press. The Vos-
Siche Zrltung says it is the first case of the
kind and ought to be recognized by America
as proof and pledge OF the warm feelings
which those 10 the highest station in the
German Empire entertain toward that COM
mon wealth.
