BERLIN, April 9.-When the Laudtag re-
assemblies April 2S an important regroup-
ing of the parties will be effected. The
negotiations for a Encouragement that are
now proceeding point to a coalition of the
moderate cons srvstive faction led by Herren
Heldorf and Rauchupt with the national
liberals, which will result in the formation
of a cartel party having some of the
best elements of the old cartelles. The split
between the ultra-conservatives and mod
crates has practically destroyed the con-
sentative majority in the Landtag and also
places the party at the tremendous dis
advantage of having disorgsnized ranks
at the approaching general election.
There is no hope of mending the
breach. the declared divergence of principles
being too pronounced. Partisan virulence

In promising strength the government
throwing its influence on its side, will fol-
low its policy on distinct national liberal
bias. The + elsianige party rejoice at
seeing the powerful resctionary party dis
integrated. The moderates who support
Herr Heldorf are numerically weak. The
bulk of the conservatives continue in con-
sonance with the centerists on the primary
education bill and await a chance to avenge
themselves on the government for abandon
ing that measure. After the Easter holi-
days the leaders will announce the new pro-
gramme which is now being elaborated, the
spirit OF which is shown in an address TO
Minister Won Zedlitz, signed by eighty-fve
members of the right IN the
upper house OF the Prussian diet,
expressing their gratitude for his defense of
conservative principles. The public take
the political uncertainty quietly, though
the situation is pregnant with eventful
issues. Even reports OF Chancellor Won
Caprivi's retiring after Easter in favor of
Count Won Gutenberg do not stir the gen
eral public.
PLANS FOR MAY DAY.
The preparations of the socialists for the
May day celebration are keenly watched by
the authorities. At q council of the min
listers Chancellor Won Caprivi proposed to
influence the employers to refuse the men a
holiday, as the celebrations are organized
for Monday, May 2, instead of Sunday.
The Austrian socialists who have decided
to hold their demonstration May 2, desired
the Germans to hold a simultaneous cele-
bration on that day. DR.. Miguel advised
his colleagues TO treat the dRy as a recoR-
nized labor holiday and If a celebration was
held on Monday to close the government
factories. DR., MIGUEL even suggested that
prices at theaters subsidized by the govern
ment be reduced and that the military
bands be ordered to play in the public gar
dens. The other ministers dad not 20 as far
as DIR. Miqueld wanted them to, but they
agreed not to oppose the demonstrations
The socialist leaders have incurred the
i'll will Of the Austrian socialists
by refusing to make Sunday and Monday
holidays. MAY day proper alone will be
celebrated in Germany. In Berlin a num-
Der of meetings have been arranged and the
public gardens and suburban resorts Will be
| filed with great crowds of workingmen
and their families celebrating the day.
There will be no big party procession. If
the small anarchist sections attempt to
create disorder they will meet with instant
and severe repression.
RALLY ON SUNDAY.
In Vienna Sunday will be celebrated by
an assemblage in the Prater to discuss the
eight-hour day question. Another section
proposes to hold a procession, the partici~
pants to be attired in blue blouses Through
out Austria, with the exception of Vienna,
celebrations will be held Monday. The
want of cohesion among Austrian socialists
will weaken the effect of the demonstration.
In Pesth the police have been ordered to
prevent all meetings and professions. The
socialists will therefore be compelled TO hold
their demonstration ontslde the city bound
aries.
MOVEMENTS OF TUE CZAR.
A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette from
st. Petersburg says that the car and
czarina and their family will sail for Co
penhagen on board the imperial yacht Polar
Star, April %. to attend the golden wedding
of the King and Queen of Denmark No

tives OF the king and queen win, he. invited

A report that the emperor and King OF

The consular reports for the first quarter
OF 1892 show q decrease in trade compared
the decrease is 100000 marks, and from
Hamburg it is 100000 marks In sugar
exports alone. This is alleged to
be due to reciprocity treaties of the United
States affecting the German sugar trade to
the West Indies and South America. About
1,0O0, 900 marks Of the Berlin decrease is in
the cheapest kinds of fancy goods which
have hitherto been sent to tue southern
states. The negroes now have no money to
