BERLIN, Jan. 3.-Prof. Koch is in III
humor over the increasing severity OF

Is understood he asked Minister Won
Gossler to relieve him from his pledge to
surrender TO the state his right 10 the dig

In the meantime, the anger OF the medi-
cal circles arising from the privileged
traffic in the lymph is growing in warmth.
The relations between the conservative
majority in the landtag and the govern
ment increase in hostility. The
Cologne Gdsette, the Hamburg
Ndch,ichten and other organs of
the opposition attack the emperor's
policy all around. The review of the year
became pretext for bitter criticism, con-
trasting the emperor's promises of re-
forms with negative results. The Cologne
Gazette warns Chancellor Caprivi that
nothing is more dangerous than unreal
lied promises. The government, 1t says,
since Prince Bismarck's retirement has
achieved nothing. The project for labor
reform, the alteration of the system of
taxation, the new school system, the new
customs system, and the new COM
mmunal legislation has opened up
prospective internal conflict, OF
which il is quite impossible TO
foresee the consequences. The Munich
semi-official papers refer openly TO The

Austria is threatening an influx of Hun

Hearst Very Low.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-The news that
Senator Ingalls, has started eastward in
response to urgent kilograms from Ed
munds and Hoar, was received with some
enthusiasm by the friends Of the elections
bill in the senate. The announceme mt
had been made that Ingalls, intended TO
remain at Topeka until the legislator had
elected his successor and the republican
managers were very much afraid that they
would not have quorum OF republican
senators here next week.
Paddock says he cannot be here next
week and Squire also announced his in.
tention TO remain west for week or
more. Urgent kilograms have been sent
TO them and they may be pursuaded TO re-
turn. Every republican vote will be
needed in the senate next week, as il is
not unlikely an effort will be
made to "set out' the elections bill, and
the democratic senators can be counted
on 10 break the quorum il possible by alb.
senting themselves from the chamber.
As stated by Hale and Teller during the
recent debate in the senate, nothing has
been done publicly by the democrats to
indicate that they intend TO fillibuster
against the bill. As bearing on that point
the assertion Of leading democratic SEN
ator evidently may be quoted, TO the of.
feet that his party would "use every fair
and honorable means TO beat the bill, v
with the supplementary statement that
the democratic leaders had not put for
ward their heaviest speakers yet.
The colleagues and friends Of Senator
Hearst are much alarmed at his con
tinued illness. He has now been i'll fol
several weeks. and though he has had
occasional rallies, his condition is not i'm
proved. He remains very weak, and the
complaint, which is an affection Of the
stomach and bowels, does not yield read
lily 10 treatment. Moreover, he is subject
10 spells Of depression that diminish his
strength.
