is fast frieRd, politically, Of the Conserv-
ative leaders, and who holds
kindred religious views with them,
10 ascertain what concessions IL
would be necessary 10 make 10 effect q
reconciliation with them. Count Won
Waldersee, by negotiations carried on
partly through Ex-Court Chaplain Stor-
ecker, and partly directly found on all
sides that the Conservatives would accept
nothing less than return 10 the policy Of
which clerical control Of education was the
leading feature
The influence OF Pastor Stoecker with
the Conservatives is stronger than ever
He has induced the party 20 give promi-
nent place on their programme 10 their
anti-Jewsh policy, which had been kept
far in the background since Emperor VIII
liam's dismissal OF the pastor.
This revival OF anti -Semitism has reoeiv-
ed q strong additional impulse from the
evidence in libel action during the course
Of which the President Of Berlin Municipal
school board was called upon 10 testify.
His evidence disclosed the fact that out OF
~ members composing the board, l3, or n
majority, were Jews and the rest agnostics
and that all OF them co-operated against
religious teaching in the schools.
The whole drift OF the movements in tho
political regrouping now going on tends 10
solidify the Conservative and Centrst
coalition. The projected new Cartel party
composed OF moderate and free COnserya.

not appear 10 be organized. Herren Rauch-
audi and other OF the chiefs who ought 10
know best what chances OF success such n
combidation has, retrained from promoting

branches that q coalition would meet with
his approval.

Mr.. Charles johnson, tho United States
Consul az Hamburg, was in this city yea
terday He asserts that the decrease In
the exports OF sugar from Hamburg ara
largely due 10 the fact that German manu-
facturers are combining 10 raise prices, and

Charles J. Murphy. special representative
in Europe Of the United States Agricul-
tural Department, the GerpAn Govern
ment has not yet declared itS Intention OF
adopting corn for army use. Tho time
seems 10 have gone by when there was
the best chance OF the acceptance OF corn
meal by the Government. A year ago tho
scarcity of grain here appeared 70 open the
market 20 corn meal; now, however, the
crop prospects being good and the supplies
Of waeat and rye more plentiful, the neces-
sity Of corn meal as q substitute for wheat
is less apparent. Colonel Murphy holds
the Government Is still bound 70 induce
the meal into the army
