BERLIN, Jan. 3O.-The debate on the Sec
tartan Education Bill to-day closed by
agreeing to refer the bill to committee Of
twenty-eight. Since yesterday private nego-
tiations have given rise to the hope that the
Government VIII assent to so remodel some
Of the clauses rs TO diyest tie meas
ure Of its most obnoxious features.
This departure is due TO the Govern
ment realizing the strength Of the coal-
ton Of moderate Conservatives, National
Liberals and Freisinnige, so to-day Chan
cellOT Won Capriyi altered his tone of defiant
hostility toward the National Liberals.
After declaring that religion and education
were inseparable he denied desiring to
domineer over the Liberals. II was the
Liberal coalition, he said. that aimed to
domineer over the Government. The Ma
tonal Liberals designed 10 use the b.ll as a
lever in forming great Liberal party, but
he added, Il accept the conciliatory attitude
Of tO-day's party organs and now think the
menace to create an opposing coalition only
a soap bubble that has already burst"
OPPOSING A COMPROMISE.
Herr Bckert, the Freisinnige leader, de-
clared himself opposed to any compromise.
1t was impossible to alter the measure so as
to make 1t acceptable. Chancellor Won
CapTlvl again arose and commented upon
the opposition OF the National Liberals as
implying only three possible conditions.
These were: Either tile Government musten-
ter into a lasting compact with the National
Liberals, an lmpOssibIllty in Prussia, where
the actions Of the Government depended on
the King; or the party must take the Gov
ernment in tow, condition that the Gov
ernment would oppose 30 the last; or the
party must allow Itself 10 be tOWed by the
Government, an arrangement he would not
suggest TO the National Liberals.
AVOIDING A RUPTURE.
The whole tenor Of the Chancellor's re-
marks indicated a desire 10 avoid final
rupture with the National Liberals. The
House adjourned until Wednesday. In the
meantime the situation is one Of a sus-
pended crisis Ministers BOettcher and
Furth viii resign with MIGUEL if the En-
peTOT does not allow the Chancellor to as
sent to crucial amendments. Won ZeditZ is
the only one in the Cabinet who urges
that concessions be made. AS a Minis
ter after the Kings own heart Won
ZedlltZ has been decorated with the Order
of the Red Eagle Of the first class. 1t is
probable that the issue Of the struggle will
be to preciptate a general election, which is
due in the autumn. The Liberals are con
fdent that the bulk Of PIussia's electorate

declines 10 commit himself either for or
against the bill.

inspired by Bismarck it is evident that he is
likely TO insure disaster to the Government
and render the Emperor unpopular. re-

Duke Of Baden has written the Emperor on
the grave consequences OF popular upris-

EMIN PAsHA's MARCH.
The VOsssche Zeitung publishes East
African advices. under date Of January 9th,
showing that Emin Pasha is making a veto

sence Of details throws doubt on the re-
ports.
