BERLIN. April 9 When the laDdtag
re.assembles, April 285h, an important re-
grouping of parties will be effected. Ne
90 iations point to d coalition of the mod
cratic conservative faction with the liberals
which will result In the formation of a
cartel party having some of the best ele-
ments of the old cart9lierS. The split be-
tween the ultra conservatives and the
moderates has practically destroyed the
conservative majority in the landtag
and has also placed the party at
a tremendous disadvantage for
general election. There is no hops Of
reconciliation, as the divergence is to0 pro-
nouuced. If strong coalition is effected,
the government will follow its policy on a

Easter holidays the leaders will announce

incertiude quietly; even the reports of
Won Caprivls retiring after Easter IN favor

Preparations of socialists for a May day
celebration are kaenly watched by the au-
thorities. Austrian socialists have de-
cided to hold demonstration Oh the I'd
OF May, and desire the Germans to hold
simultaneous celebration. Won CaprivI
proposed to influence employers to re
flu men a holiday May 2. Miguel
ADVISED his colleagues to treat the
day as a recognized labor holiday
and if celebration was held Monday to
close the government factories. 1t Is even
suggested that prices at theatres be re
duced and the military bands be ordered
to play in public gardens. Other minist
ers did not go so far as Miguel but agreed
not 10 oppose the demonstrations.
IN Berlin number of meetings have
been arranged, but there will be no big
professions. If the anarchists attempt to
create disorder they will meet with in
slant and severe repression. In Vienna
Sunday will be celebrated by discussion
of the hour question, and another sec
ton proposes to have a procession.
Throughout Austria, except Vienna,
celebrations will take place Monday. In

day closers who spoke at the hearing
which ended yesterday brought with
them so many large petitions as to in
duce the committee to believe that il

opinion is not held by the entire com

and unless there is a change III their
views the Sunday closing amendment
will be favorably reported.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Outlook Very Favorable for the Farmers
The Season a Week Later.

DIS MONIES, April 9.-The first bull
letin of the Iowa weather and crop
service for the season, issued to-
day, gives the following summary:
Compared with the average of the
past fifteen years this season is about
week late: but the general condi-
tions are more favorable than at the
corresponding date last year. The first
half of the week was warmer than the
average for the season, but freezing
temperature prevailed the last three
days. No especial damage, however,
is likely to result. There was general
excess of rainfall Throughout the State,
which has delayed seeding, but the soil
is now well saturated at a greater depth
than at any time within the past five
years and grass has made fine start.
The acreage of winter wheat in this
State, though increasing in recent
years, is still relatively small. The re-
ports indicate that in about two-thirds
OF the counties wherein it is grown its
condition is fair, and in the other sec
ton it is not promising. Winter rye is
generally in good condition. All kinds
Of live stock have come through tho

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The April re-

50; Indiana, 70; Illinois, 81; Missouri,
70, and Kansas, II.
TIE average of these six is II against

Report that vanderbiIts Have Control of
the Delaware & Hudson.
New YORK, April st was reported
on the stock exchange to-day that the
Vanderbilts had obtained control of the
Delaware & Hudson Canal company,
and that at the annual meeting May
Cornelius Vanderbilt, III. Mex.
Twombly and Chauncey M.
Depew would enter the Delaware &
hudson directory. The reports in de-
tail are that the Vanderbilts, Maxwell
& Graves and the First National Bank
PARTY have been buying the stock for sew
eral months, and have besides accumu-
lated large amounts of stock and made
arrangements with the heaviest hold
ers for joint action by which they re-
ceive the representation already re-
ferred to- The acquisition of this
property would give the Vanderbilts
complete control Of all the
railroads in tie northern part
of the State and would also give
them an important interest in the an
thracite fields. The theory in Wall
street is that if these reports are COR
rect, it is possible that the Vanderbilts
and the Reading syndicate have joined
hands indicating an almost complete
control of the production of anthracite
coal in this country.

priest to-day and threatened to do
damage if they are notrestored to their

when Peters failed year ago. The
company fears an outbreak of violence
and extra police have been provided to
protect the property and life of the
manager.
