BEELIx, JAM H. Associated Press,
copyrighted, 1891. THE landtag resumed
sitfings yesterday, but legislation is in
state of suspense owing 10 . continuance
Of the conservative majority, and the gov
eminent communal reform bill Is still IN
the hands Of commission. In converse
ton with the commission, the chancellor
appealed 10 their sentiment of fidelity TO
the throne. and promised concessions in
favor Of the agricultural interests of the
country IN other government measures. in
return for acquiescence IN local reforms.
He warned them that persistent opposition
would create serious difficulties for the
monarchy. In spite OF this, however.
there are no apparent signs Of compro-
mise yet
4 number of the members Of the old
Cartel party are endeavoTing to arrange
the formation of Bismarck group IN the
reichstag or Iandtag. They asked Bis
marcks formal sanction. In reply he
sent word that he would not prevent the
members from following lis known policy
Or from claiming the authority of his
name SO long as they upheld his opinions.
This oualined sanction is interpreted as
meaning that he viii not seek a. present
publicly TO lead the party. although he IS
willing 10 direct their parliamentary oper-
atoms. The Liberal organs generally see
in this an early dissolution OF parliament.
Under the influence OF the unfayorable
opinion Of Professor Vjrchow and other
prom nent physicians regarding the Koch
remedy, the government has come 70
pause over the bill making the lymph the
property Of the state. Minister Won Goss-
Ter has postponed the Introduction of the
bill, and this leads to minors that the min
listers desire 10 reconsider the arrangement
made with Koch. The K7sine Journal az
firms that it is doubtful If the ministry
viii now adhere 10 the agreement. The
Koch circle. on the other hand. state that
the relations between Koch and Minister
Won Gossler are unchanged, and that the
bin has been delayed because the appa-
ratus FOR the production OF lymph is still
incomplete.
The Bering sea question is discussed in
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, however.
are unconarmed, credit the govern nent
with taking the initiative in suggesting
that the governments at London and
Washington City appoint an arbitration
tribunal. composed Of eminent jurists Sc
lected from neutral powers. The idea is
secuted that the difference can possibly
result IN an armed condict.
Court talk turns upon the empe-cr's
remarks to high dignitaries of the court
concerning Bismarck. The emperor said
it was desirable that he be made to under
stand that his time for politics has passed.
He ought not to attempt to play any role,
especially that of opposition. Everybody
knowing him intimately can see that he
does not comprehend the needs of our
time. The emperor's words referred
directly to the announcement being given
by Bismarck to the conservative party.
The latest interview accorded to Bis
narck, which was given to Journalist
Max Brewer, exhibits him as absorbed in
the enjoyment of domestic life. On the
subject OF France, Bisma-ck's most Incl
sive utterance was as follows:
II is impossible TO exterrinate the French.
Germany viii never wage merely prophylactic
war. Whatever enemy Of ours gets the best
powder first viii give the signal for attack As
