WILL he PROSECUTE BIsMARcKF
II is difficult to believe that the Emperor
means to- 60 TO the length OF prosecuting tne
ex-Chancellor, yet his uncontrolled lnten-
sity of irritation supports the rumors that
he will do so. The Government OF Bavaria
has already warned the Munich AHieTmellne
that it will not be allowed to publish aruc
cles discrediting the European policy Oh
the imperial government. liz.
The tone of an inspired note IN to-nlgnts
North German Gdz6tte indicates that
milder form of repression will be trled
before Bismarck Is personally challenged
SHARP cBITIC1sMs.
The North German Gazette, replying TO
criticism published in the Co,oqne BdseiLte,
savs that its insinuatiOns concerning the
policy of the Government is backed by no
proof. Every Government must. be gov
erned by its acts. In noticing the nam
b,e.qey. NdclrichieH's repeated assertions that
the relations between Germany and Rus
sia have been imperilled since the retire
ment of Prince Bismarck. the North Ger
man GnzeRe declares that the accusation
levelled against the foreign policy OF the
Government IS go gravely opposed 70 the
truth that the papers making the charges
must be obliged TO produce PROOF OF
stand "a reporting any lie in order 10 as:
sail the Government. Developments OF
the feud are watched with the keenest IN
terest. The adherents Of Bismarck say
that the Prince does not fear prosecution
and that he Is ready to meet, and perhaps
wants TO stop, the accusations.
AN IMPERIAL AssTMBLAGE.
Chancellor Won Caprivi assembled last
NIGHT IN the grand hall of the Chancellor
up ut the palace representatives from
every political section in the Reichstag ex-
cepting the Socialist section. The EN-
peror sat between LeyetZOw and Boet-
tfcher. The scene reminded many of those
present Of a similar gathering IN the same
hall when Prince Bismarck presided, hard
w wear ago. After dinner the guestSad-
journed TO cigars and beer. Those present
grouped themselves around the Emperor
and received an almost unbroken food of
opinions regarding social topics, Prince
Bismarck, the press campaign, the recent
snow-storms, the civil authorities success
IN coping with the foundations, and the
workmen's protection bill, on which there
Tas animated conversation, Pickert, Wind
thorst, and others finishing bY expressing
their appreciation of the results Of the as
siduous work of the bills Of the committee.
THE EMPEROR BRIGHT AND UNMARRIED.
Although the Emperor had passed an
arduOus official day. beginning early, IN the
morning with q drill at POtsdam, he looked
bright and unwearied. A chance refer
ence to Won MOltke elected the remark
from the Emperor that he could still rely
on the active assistance of the great tactl-
clan. 1t transpired that in the interval
while the Emperor was deciding upon the
successor to WaldeTsee, the Emperor tele-
craphed to Won Molke asking him to place
his experience at his disposal in selecting
Naldersee's successor. The Count re-
sponded that whatever force remained IN
him belonged to his Emperor. Thereupon
Won Schleffen, before assuming the. po-
sition of chief Of staff, went TO Silesla TO
receive Won Molke's advice.
HIS GOLDEN SILENCE.
Schlieten is an ardent worker and had
for a long time proved an excellent head
of bureau, He Is not credited with much
skill as n tactician. He is noted chiefly
among his intimates for his capacity Tor
silence. He is muter even than Won Moltke.
TIE woRKsEN's BILL.
The Reichstag has commenced the de-
bate on the workmen's protection bill.
The House adopted an article according
twenty-fOur hours rest on Sunday. The
Socialists wanted tnlrty-six hours. Bebel,
the Socialist leader, in general criticism
of the bill, declared that the woTkmen's
party thoroughly distrust the bill, and
would increasingly oppose it unless essen
tial changes were made in it. In Its pres
ent form, he declared, it protected employ
ers and not wOTkmen.
STRINGENT REGULATIONS.
The Government of Alsace-Lorraine,
has issued new regulations regarding
foreigners. If they intend to stay in the
provinces longer than eight weeks they
must report within a fortnight Of their ar
rival in Alsace at the nearest policc-station
and establish their identity before they
will receive q permit to stay. Otherwise
they will be arrested and expelled.
