BERLIN. Nav 1.-THE discord among
the Conservatives has become so accen-
tuated that the government can, for
some time to come, disregard that party
as an i'm portant factor in the opposition.
A committee was appointed to arrange
new conservative platform, but fol-
lowing the example of Herr Helldorff,
who withdrew a month ago, two other
prominent Conservatives, Count Otto
Manteuffel and Herr Kleist, have retir-
ed, refusing to serve on the committee.
Herr Kieist's influence is great, and
it is expected that he will draw after
him a number OF the party who are now
heSitatng, and who, Joining the mode
rates, will create two balanced divi-
sions, the right aud left Conservatives,
the latter closely allied with the Ma
tional Liberals. The committee repre-
senting the present majority has modi-
fed the party's anti-Semitc policy.
Ii the Freisinnige party succeed by
their agitation in arousing national
sentiment it will have potent influence
Ia the coming election.
The new army bill, proposing an in
crease of the effective is not likely to be
introduced in the Reichstag until
autumn. Herr Won Kaltenborne-
Strachau, Prussian Minister of War, is
certain to retire from Office before the
bill is presented.
Dr. Booze, Minister of Ecclesiastical
Affairs and Instruction, has given his
first decision regarding the confessional
schools at DantZsic, where the two
secular schools are overcrowded. The
Catholics petitioned against the erection
of an additional non-sectarian school,
demanding the establishment OF a
Catholic school instead. DR.. Booze re-
fused the Catholics petition.
Some of the papers print articles In
extenuation of the Emperor's approval
of the soldier Lnecke, for shooting a
civilian. They explain that Luecke was
subject to threats. The Emperor, they
say, only counteracted these anonymous
communications. The excuse, how
ever, does not tally with the latest act
of the Emperor towards Luecke, to
whom he sent his photograph with his
autograph and the words, "a recon-
pense for that faithful observance OF
the watch-word while on duty"

tance away, where Mr.. Johnston iden-
titled him. The mob grew in number
to an immense throng as IL then marched
IN procession 10 The corner Of Fifth and
Main streets, I'm the heart OF the city,
opposite the Masonic Temple. The
doomed man was given several minutes

arm OF a telegraph pole, and James was
soon swinging in mid-air. His body
was then riddled by hundreds of bullets.
