BERLIN, Jan 10.-The landtag resumed
business yesterday without sign OF any
alleviation of the conflict between the
Conservative majority and the govern
ment, and practically legislation Is IN a
state of suspense. The communal reform
hi ] is still in the hands of the commits
sion. Discussion of the measure In plen-
ary sitting has been postponed until ii
snail have had a second reading.
Chancellor Won Caprivi has personally
attempted to lessen the tension between
the commission and Herr Herfurth, min
lister of the interior. In the course OF a
conversation on Thursday with several
members of the right the chancellor APP
pealed to their sentiment of fidelity TO the
throne, and promised concessions IN faYor
Of tie agricultural interests of the country
on other pending government measures in
return for their acquiescence in reforms
He warned them that persistent opposi-
tion would create serious difficulties for
the monarchy
After the interview several papers pre-
dicted that a compromise would be eff
fected which would prevent a dissolution
Of the landtag. Nothing semi-official or
definite, however is known regarding the
matter
A number of members of the old Cartel
party recently held meeting TO arrange
for the formation of a Bismarck group in
the reichstag and landtag. The Cartels
sent communication to Bismarck asking
his formal sanction for the movement.
To this be sent favorable reply. He
sanctioned the movement if il should Rd-
here to his known policy. This is inter
preted to mean that the prince will not at
present seek publicly to lead the party,
although he is willing to direct their
parliamentary actions.
The liberal newspapers generally see in
Blsmarck's acceptance OF the qualified
leadership of the conservative forces the
certainty of an early dissolution OF parlla-
ment.
The reports received from the German
hospitals are favorable to the Koch
remedy. On the other hand, DR. Crocq, of
Belgium, denies that there is any curative
action in the remedy He says he has
seen the same reaction in cases Of pleurisy
where injections of the lymph have been
made that be has seen in cases of phthisis.
Notwithstanding hostile criticisms the
confidence of the general medical profess
sion in the efficacy of the remedy is un-
abated
The Bering sea question is discussed by
The press of the country as having no
special relation to German interests. The
Sendency of opinion is decidedly in favor
of arbitration. Reports, which however
are unconfrmed, credit the government
with taking the initiative in suggesting

Washington appoint an arbitration trl-
ounal composed of eminent jurists selected
from neutral powers. The idea is secuted
that the difference can possibly result III
in armed conflict.
The court talk turns npon the emperor's
remarks to high dignitaries of the court
concerning Prince Bismarck. The en-
peror said: "It is desirable that he be
made to understand that his time for
politics has passed. He ought not to at
tempt TO play any role, and especially that
of opposition. Everybody knowing him
intimately can see that he does not COM
pr-hend the needs of our time" The en-
perors words referred directly to the en-
couragement that is being given by Prince
Bismark to the Conservative opposition.
In a recent interview with the eX-chan-
cellor, Max Brewer. journalist, reports
him as having said, in reference to France:
1T is impossible to eXterminate the
French. Germany will never wage a
merely prophylactic war. The chemist is
the man who will answer the war ques-
tion. Whatever enemy of ours gets the
best gunpowder first will give the signal
for the attack As to the notion that after
the next war eternal peace will reign in
Europe, I cannot think it,"
