DANGEROUS TURMOIL
Emperor Williams Leaning
to Absolutism Has a Bad
Effect.
Plans for a Coalition to Re-
sent and Check His Pre-
tensions.
The Kaiser's Mood Indicates
a Readiness to Proceed
to Extremes.
Chancellor Caprivi Willing
to Go the Gait Set by the
Young Ruler.

BERLIN, March 5.-The leaders of the
National-Liberala and Fresinnige parties
are exchanging condolences with view
to concerted action against the en-
peror's absolutism. The parties have
100 widely divergent programmes to
permit of fusion, but in the face of dan
ger from common enemy who would
destroy them both, a temporary cOali-
ton is recognized as being inevitable.
The question now discussed in the lob
bies of the reichstag is what plan of
campaign ought to be adopted against
the government.
The leaders of the Fresinnige party
want to challenge openly the preten-
sions of the emperor by raising debate
in regard to the pending press prosecu
ton. The more cautious National Lib
eral tacticians, however, advocate the
adoption of policy of obstruction in
the reichstag and landtag in the cOnsid-
Grafton OF the estimates, using whatever
constitutional checks the deputies have
on the government in granting or with
holding money. The emperor has felt
the check during the week in the re-
fusal of the deputies to vote an appro-
priation for the construction of cruisers
and corvetteS.
The proposed coalition would not be
sufficient to overthrow the emperor's
pet legislative projects unless an alli-
alce were effected with the Free Con-
sdrvatives. If the advice of Prof. Del
bEuck. one of the most prominent of the
Free Conservatives, be followed, this
alliance will soon be accomplished, and
the government, no longer able to rely
on a compact Clerical Conservative
majority,

policy. But nobody expects this fort
solve the reIchstag and landtag, trust
ing to obtain a majority through the
labor vote and a union or the CIer
icRls and steadfaSt Conservatives, or
might go further towards abSoluteism
by governing on the strength Of his pre-
negatives and despite the parliamentary
maioritjes. Everything known regard
ing Emperor Williams mood points to
his maiesty's readiness to act as an IRE
gponsible ruler if allowed to do so.
The press prosecutions are under
taken in accordance with his expressed
Instructions. Those who seek to apollo
gize for and excuse his majesty assert
that the prosecutions were initiated in
consequence of the course adopted by
the public prosecutor, and that they
were not prompted by the emperor,
and were contrary to his wishes. 1t
is a well-known fact that the en-
peror has been greatly enraged by
the press comments and the criticisms
of his Brandenburg speech, and is de-
terrmined to control the generally
recognized rights which have hitherto
protected the press from prosecution.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1892-03-06

The Brandenburg speech of his majesty
continues to be the universal topic of
conversation here. The phrase which
ELECTS the most comment, and which is
becoming familiar as a proverb, is the
one in which he advises the discon-
tented "Norgler den DeutSchen staub
von lhren pantoffelen Schuttelten." 1t
is asked at whom he aimed as
ssSlippered Grumblers."
1t certainly could not have been the
socialists; nor could it have been the
ProgreSsiStS, as neither of these parties
is Identified with q life of slippered
ease. 1t is surmised that the phrase
had reference to the National Liberals,
perhaps to Prince Bismarck and Herr
Won Bennigsen, the leader of the Ma
tional Liberals, and DR.. MIGUEL, the
finance minister.
Another surmiSe is that the emperor
hit the phrase i'll moment of vlnous
exhilaration. His majesty drinks less
than most. wine drinkers, but he can
stand less. After taking two glasses OF
champagne he becomes talkative, and
after the third becomes indiScreet and
pugnacious. His after-dinner speeches
usually require tonng down, but the
Brandenburg utteTances were pub
lished without having been edited. The
prosecutions of the press imply that the
emperor has decided to abide by his re-
cent declarations, which are offensive
to most educated Germans.
The revival of the brandy monopoly
scheme. OH which Prince Bismarck, the
chancellor Of the empire. was defeated
in 1886, means that Emperor William
and Chancellor Won Caprivl are daunt-
less in the face of existing difficulties
and will deliberately raise more. To
sum up the position. Germany is on the
verge of period of internal turmoil
which may afford the monarchy's ex-
ternal enemies long hoped-fOr chance
of attack.

Boston, Mass. March 5.-Gov. Rus
sell has sent reply to Gov. Buckley, of
Connecticut, in response to communi-
cation from the latter refusing to grant
the extradition for Preston B. Sibley
now under indictment insMassachuSetts
charged with forcibly taking prisoner
across the line into Connecticut. Gov.
Buckley based his refusal upon the
three groudS that practice has made a
usage by which officers of another state
can without legal warrant cross the
state line and seize escaped cOnvictS;
that Sibley has committed no crime
against the laws of Massachusetts,. and
that Sibley is not fugitive from JUS
tice. Gov. Russell replies on the first
point that, ''if any practice of interstate
kidnapping has existed, it is utterly con-
trary to the constitution of the United
States and the laws hereunder, and it
hardly merits the open sanction of any
responsible executive" Upon the sec
ond ground Gov. Russell says the queS-
committed an Offense against the
laws of Massachusetts is not a
question for the conclusive determi-
nation of either the governor of Connec-
ticut or the governor of Massachusetts,.
The governor of Massachusetts asks for

Sensational Developments Ex-

- MARINE CITY, Mich, March 5.-There
is great excitement here over the arrest
of smugglers, and the possibility that
twenty or thirty prominent citizens may
be implicated. r. A. Garrison, GUS
toms house officer here, assisted
by S. w. Day, United States official.
and Mr.. Petit, of Port Huron. this
morning arrested George f. Logan, a
merchant tailor, and Frank May, both
of Sombre, Ont, while they were in the
act of smuggling clothing across the
river. 1t Is claimed these men have
been in business between the coun-
tries for long time, and that they
have worked up large and growing
trade, having for customers some of the
leading business and professional men.
Between twenty and thirty citizens are
said to possess clothing purchased of
Canadian merchants, and it Is also
charged that the purchasers we'll knew
they were dealing with smugglers. The
government officials claim they have
worked the case up thoroughly and the
developments will cause sensation.

FIENDIsHNEss FOOLED.
DastardIy Attempt to Destroy a
Church

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, March s.
A lady presented to one of the churches
here a huge candle weighing sixty
pounds, to be burned during
Lent. 1t was explained that
the candle was intended to
furnish light throughout the exact
'Lenten period. The gift was suitably
acknowledged in the presence of an i'm
mense congregation, and the sacrstan
proceeded to light the candle, but there
seemed to be some fault in its construc-
ton, as the wick failed to remain
lighted.
After three futile attempts had been
made, the officiating priest, becoming
suspicious that something was wrong,
ordered that the candle be removed and
examined. This being done, the start
ling discovery was made that the
interior of the candle was
filled with powerful explosives.
Had the sacriStan succeeded III
making it burn, terrible explosion
must have resulted, with consequences
awful to contemplate in view of the
crowded condition of the church. The
lady who donated the candle had disap
peared before the deadly character Of
the gift was discovered.
