BERLIN, May 9.-The Reichstag to-day
finally passed the sugar bill by vote of
l59 to 1876, and approved the spirit taxation
amendment bill The house then ad journed
until Nov. IL, after giving three cheers for
the emperor.
The week was full of legislative work.
The trades regulation, which had been be-
fore the house for year, was passed by
large majority. The only opponents of the
measure were the socialists
The closing tussle over the sugar bin
arose from an amendment offered by a
member Of the center party, providing that
consumption tax Of Is marks
be levied and that bounties be
gradually abolished within five years, ~
marks being given during the first three
years, and 1 mark for the following
two years. The sugar members warmly
opposed the amendment. Chancellor Won
| Caprivi supported the proposal, and de-
clared that If the amendment was rejected,
the government would bring in bin next
| year, which would make no provision for
| the transition period for the abolition Of
bounty. Upon this declaration of the
| governments stand in the matter, the op-
| position gave way and the amendment was
accordingly adopted.
The act Of the Brussels anti-savery con-
| ference was also adopted.
| The proposals for reform in the telegraph
| service had TO be postponed until the
| November session, pending further report
OF the committee on the subject.
AFRAID OF BISMARCK.
| Talk in the lobbies attributed the expedi-
tion with which the Reichstag closed TO
| fears Of the government Of the sudden np-
partition Of Prince Bismarck in the house
! with a bombshell utternnca against the
| Austro-German CONNER ial treaty, the
| governments labor measure and it's general
| International policy. Deputies Stumm and
| kaudorf went to Friederichsruhe on
| Wednesday with the object of asking Prince
| Bismarck what his intentions are. Prince
| bismarck advised energetic opposition to
the sugar bill, and promised to lead au ac-
| tive aggression against the governments
| projects when he took his seat 10 the honse,
lie declined, however, to take his seat
| until the autumn, when measures
! imperilliug the interests OF the coun~
| try would make his presence necea-
sGry, He used the same language to
| q deputation Of the electors Of Geestemunde
| hAhilb JiAAu i6 was uuL Wiling TO return 10
Berlin. The prospect was paiaful, he said
| OF meeting former friends who had sepa-
| rated from him since his fall from power.
| he declared that the experience would be
like that of living under the same roof with
a divorced wife. lie would not appear as
the leader Of any party. His symo athy
| remained with the old cartellers, and IL
grieved him TO see the former coalition
broken and the factions attacking each other
with poisonous inveotive.
BIsMARCK's AIM.
The tenor OF the princes speech confirms
the predictions regarding his attitude in the
| Reichstag. The prince aims TO form a
| coalition of tho conservatives and national
liberals against the government. The
emperor's perception Of coming danger in
cited him to give expression to his stand in
his speech at Dusseldorf, which was an
outspOken menace against systematic oppo-
siti1n. The papers differ over the exact
| words used by the emperor on that occa-
| sion, The accepted version makes him say,
after referring to the opponents Of his labor
and commercial policy Zone alone is
master in this country. 1t is |. None other
| shall / suffer near men The official version
OF the speech was modified after days Of
ministerial deliberation on this autocratic
| trumpeting but the words remain, and
| they will abide branded in the memory OF
the nation. If Prince Bismarck were tho
leader in constitutional struggle against
"the right diyinen and militarism, the en-
peror's rash utterance would be made q
| strong weapon OF attack.
KoCH's METHOD OUT OF FAVOR.
The deprecated esteem in which the
| Koch method is held was plainly expressed
| during the course Of tO.day's debate in the
lower house OF the Prussian ct on the vote
for the Koch institute. The supper ters Of the
vote spoke in an apologetic manner Herr
| Graft, member OF the center party, said
that it had been widely acknowledged that
the lymph was Of value as an aid in dag
nosis, but the chief interest Of the public
lay in its curative power as remedy
for tuberculosis. In this Tespect there
had arisen general disappointment
Following the high hopes at first
entertained regarding the discovery, not
only disappointment, but fears also that the
use Of the lymph endangered life. Despite
the relative failure Of the remedy, the dis
covery Of Kochine wes a scientific accom-
plishment Of the first order, and the mem
bers were, therefore, bound in honor to
concur in the grant asked for. DR.. Broemel
| expressed an opinion regarding
the healing properties Of the
| lymph. He said it was necessary to pro-
nounce Judgment non liq1tet 1t was
questionable whether the government had
proceeded with caution in supporting Koch
/ lsu QUIZ. uODOuy COulu ldll 10 appreciate
the Importance of the remedy as a step in
advance Of the curative art After similar
criticisms from other members, the vote
was passed.
THE EMPEROR AT DARMsTADT.
The emperor arrived at Darmstadt to-
day from Karlsruhe. He is going to Schlitz
to visit Count Goertz. His recent remarks
to the students at Bonne seemed TO praise
both the beer drinking and dueling habits
of the students. He certainly commended
| dueliDg, but not drinking. He said he
hoped that as long as the German students
corps existed the spirit fostered
in the corps by trials Of strength
and courage would be preserved, at which
the students cheered. The imperial en-
couragement is a bitter disappointment to
the agitators against the dueling practice,
but the emperor's utterance is entirely in
sympathy with the feeling in German uni
| versities.
Princess Bismarck is seriously i'll with
asthma.
The strike Of the miners In Westphalia
has ended in the submission of the men.
