BERLIN. Jan. 10.-The Landtag resumed
business yesterday without sign Of any
Rlleviation Of the conflict between the CON
servative majority and the government,
and, practically, legislation is IN state Of
suspense. The communal reform bill is
still In the hands Of the commission. Dis
cussion Of the measure in plenary sitting
has been postponed until it shall have had
second reading. Chancellor Won Caprivi
has personally attempted to lessen
the tension between the commission and
Herr Herrfurth, minister of the interior.
In the course OF a conversation on Thursday
with several members OF the right the
chancellor appealed to their sentiment Of
fidelity to the throne, and promised con-
cessions In favor of the agricultural interests
of the country in other pending govern
ment measures In return for their acQuies-
enee in local reforms. He warned them
that PERSISTENT opposition would create
serious difficulties for the monarch.
COMPROMISE PREDICTED
After the interview several papers pre-
dicted that O compromise would be effected
which would avert che dissolution of ths
Landtag. Nothing semi-official or definite,
however. is known regarding the matter.
Herr Miguel, minister Of finance, was pri-
vately asked his opinion Of the chances cf
an agreement being arrived at. but he de-
clined TO say more than that dissolution
asimprobable.
RALLY FOR BISMARCK.
A number of members of the old Cartel
party recently held a meeting TO arrange
| for the formation Of q Bismarck group In
the Reichstag and Landtag. The cartellers
send q communication to Friedrichsruhe,
asking the formal sanction OF
Prince Bismarck for the move
ment. To this Prince Bismarck
sent verbal reply, through a conservative
member Of the Reichstag, to the effect that
be would not prevent the members from
| following his known policy, or from claim
ing the authority of his name so long as
they upheld his opinions. This
qualified sanction Of the car
tellers' movement is interpreted
as meaning that Prince Bismarck viii not
! at present seek publicly to lead the party,
although he is willing to direct their parlia-
| FTetsinnige Zettung and liberal organs
generally see in the conservatives accept
ance of Prince Bismarck's leadership the
certainty Of an early dissolution of parlia-
| ment
IL KoCH's REMEDY.
Under the influence of the unfavorable
| opinion of Herr Virchow and other promi-
nent physicians regarding the Koch remedy,
the government has come to a pause over
the proposed bill making the lymph the
property Of the state Minister Won Goss-
Ter, who has supervision of medical affairs.
has bill ready, and intended to introduce
it in the LdndtdG on Monday, but has post
| poned its Introduction. This action has led
| to rumor sthat the ministers desire to re-
consider the arrangements made between
| Herr Won Gossler and Prof. Koch. The
| KLet1le journal affirms that it is doubtful IL
the ministry will now adhere to the agree
ment The Koch circle, on the contrary,
state that tho relations between Prof. Koch
and Herr Won Gossler are unchanged, and
that the introduction Of the blu
is delayed because the apparatus
for state production of the lymph
is still incomplete, q number of Matching
ovens not being ready. Prof. Koch found
pecessary this week the preparation Of some
huDdred additional breeding chambers for
bacteria preparation, which, including the
growth OF the bacilli, takes much time, pro-
longed watching aud constant testing be-
fore Prof. Koch or his assistants will pro-
nounce the lymph reliable.
FAVORABLE REPORTS.
Reports received from the German hos-
pitals are favorable to the remedy. DR..
| Konigshafer Of Stuttgart has applied the
| lymph with success in the treatment OF dis
eases Of the eyeids and cornea. Prof. Ziems-
sen Of Munich declares that by the
| use Of the lymph he has effected complete
cure of three patients in tho early stages of
Of phthisis, and that thirty patients suffer
ing from phthisis In Rome hospitals, who
were undergoing the Koch treatment, are
reported to be progressing favorably.
CONTRADICTORY TESTIMONY.
On the ether hand DIR. Schroetter, at q
clinic at Vienna, declared that there was no
improvement in cases OF tuberculosis of
larynx which were being treated there by
the Koch method, and that the results OF
such treatment in cases Of phthisis were
very doubtful. Prof. Crocu of Bel
GUM denies that there is any
| curative action in the Koch remedy. He
asserts that he has seen an intense reaction
| after injections Of the lymph in the case Of
patients suffering from phthisis, and
similar reaction in case Of others suffering
from pleurisY who were without a trace OF
tuberculosis affection.
CONFIDENCE OF THE PROFESSION.
But Notwithstanding these hostile critiS
cisms the confidence of the medical profess
ion In the efficacy of the Koch treatment Is
unabated. Iho Koch Institute, which
the governmen is now erecting, will con-
sist OF an immense la boratory with clinic
having $50 beds The department Of edu-
cation has already taken over Koch's house,
in which the lymph is maufactu red. Drs.
PfuhI and Libbertz have become officials Of
the department. The clinic Of the institute
will be under the direction of Prof. Brieger
THE BEHRINo SEA DISPUTE.
The Behring sea question is discussed by
the press Of the country as having no special
relation TO German interests. The tendency
of opinion is distinctly in favor
of arbitration. Reports, which, how
ever, are unconfrmed, credit tue gov
ernment with taxing the initiative
in suggesting that the governments
at London and Washington appoint an ar
bitration tribunal composed of eminent
jurists selected from neutral powers. The
idea is secuted that the differences can pos
sibly result In an armed conflict.
THE KAISER AND BIsMARcF.
The court talk turns upon the emperor's
remarks to high dignitaries Of the court
concerning Prince Bismarck. The emperor
said: "It is desirable that be be made to
understand that his time for politics is
passed. He ought not to attempt to
play any role, especially that of
opposition. Everybody knowing him in
timately can see that be does not compre-
hend the needs of our time" The emp eror's
words referred directly to the encourage
