BERLIN, Feb. 13.-[Copyright, 1892, AS
ISOLATED Press. The committee to which
was referred the sectarian primary educa-
ton bill submitted by the government to
the reichstag, has, during the past week,
which was the first week of the sitting,
dealt with thirteen clauses OF that meas
ure, but has reserved consideration of the
sections relating to questions of religion,
These clauses, with the postponed sec
tons which form the kernel of the meas
ure, will be taken up next week. when it
will be seen whether the government has
courage to defy the popular opposition,
which is led by the most eminent men in
Germany.
The liberal coalition appears to have
gained an advantage in committee by Sc
curing the passage of a proposal submitted
by Herr Rickert, reaffirming the princi.
pie of state control of schools. Minister
Zeidlitz considered that the declaration
did not affect the concessions of the state
IN the direction of clerical supervision.
and offered no resistance to the amend
ment, which was only opposed by the CEN
trist, or church party. Herr Rickert
next tried to get the committee to
TX hve hours weekly as the maximum
Tune 10 be devoted to religious instruc-
TONS. On this practical question the con-
servatives united to bring about q reiec-
ton. This Is regarded as a bad omen for
the success of any of the other proposed
modihcat'ons of religious clauses. The
ciericals gave notice of several amend
ments giving the clergy even greater con-
troll than provided for in the bill.
In the meanwhile protests against the
measure grow in number and importance
The municipal authorities of Berlin. a5 To
II, adopted petition to the landtag
against the bill, and the burgomasters of
the kheinish towns have decided to pro-
test against it. A great congress of pro-
lessons of Berlin, Halle, Bonn, Gottingen
ana other university towns has been con-
vened here to pass an appeal to the GOV
eminent to withdraw the measure. Pub.
lie meetings have been held in every ponu-
ious center in Prussia to protes, aeains,
the OIL, and even the conservative districts
are declaring in favor of notifications.

The Canadian Reciprocity Conference.

The Canadian Reciprocity Conference.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. BIT is understood
that Mckenzie, Bowel, Foster and
Thompson will return from Washington
City Monday or Tuesday. 1t is stated
that they made such arrangements that
satisfactory reciprocity treaty can be con-
cluded by Sir Julian Pauncefote.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 13.-The Cana
dian reciprocity commissioners. accom-
panied by Secretaries Blaine and Elkins
and Sir Julian Pauncefote, called at the
White House today and were formally
presented to the president. The visit was
merely for the purpose of paying their re-
spects. At the close of yesterdays meet
ing II was decided to hold the next session
on Monday if the negotiations should be
continued. There is no means of ascer-
tanning at present how much longer the
conference will be continued. 1t is under
stood that Secretary Blaine has ELECTED
the fact that the commissioners from
Canada have in reality no power to con-
clude reciprocal trade arrangement at
present. and on that basis he intimated
that further prolonging of the discussion
OF the question at this time would be use
less. as the ground that may be covered in
the preliminary discussions would have TO
be gone over again should Canada send a
commission empowered to bind the gov
eminent to q treaty. 1t is rumored that
the adjournment until Monday was taken
in order that the cables might be utilized
toward obtaining from the government at
London some official expression giving
the present negotiations the color OF au-
thoTity.

GENERAL BOOTHS RETURN.

thousands OF English Sa1vationists Fay
Homage to Their Leader.
LONDON, Feb. 13.-The Salvationists Of
London and. in fact, in all parts of the
kingdom, took occasion today to show
their love and loyalty to General Booth,
who has just arrived in England after a
long visit to Australia and India. For
several days past Salvationists have been
pouring into London for the purpose of
taking part in the procession to be given
in his honor. There was an immense
gathering in Hyde Park. Booth arrived
at the marble arch at O'Clock,
and was the recipient OF an
ovation that became almost riotous
in its demonstrativeness. Booth. accom-
panied by Mrs. Tucker, his daughter, and
her husband, was in an open carriage.
The carriage was surrounded by squad
of mounted police and followed by crowd
of hooting and yelling hoodlums. The
procession of Salvationists, which Booth
reviewed, was a mile long, and in it were
cars emblematic of his travels in foreign
lands. After the line had all passed in re-
view Booth was driven back to the head
quarters of the army. The route taken by
his carriage was lined by an enthusiastic
crowd.

English View of American Politics.

LONDON, Feb. BIN the course of
long article the Spectator says that the re-
tirement of Blaine from the position of
candidate for the nomination for president
of the United States has brought the
presidency into special prominence. The
Spectator thinks that Blaine's friends in
the Republican convention Will not allow
Mr.. Harrison to be renominated. The
Republicans, the paper says, have an idea
that dark horse. in the person Of Robert
T. Lincoln, American minister to Great
Britain, would prove the most for
mlabIe candidate they could choose.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-02-14

1t adds that this fact is ALREADY
widely recognized. The Spectator depreI
Gates the annoyance the Americans often
show because of England's interest in the
presidency, and says the English have no
desire to interfere, but in the case of 30
near relation they cannot help taking an
interest. The article concludes: Euro.
pean succession is not of half so much i'm.
portance to Us. The people of this coun-
try, despite their shyness and consequent
churlishness, are sincerity proud Of
America, and they are anxious that i.
should choose well. They do not desire,
as Americans imagine, president who will
knuckle down TO England.

DIPLOMATIC WAR OVER rcxpr
england Tightening Her Grip, Desnite
Opposition OF the Rest of Enrn.a

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-The joint movements
OF the dreibund's squadrons in the Levant
are due to diplomatic warfare over the
soltan's inyestiture as khedive. France
and Russia are urging the sultan to refuse
lnvestlture unless the khedive proceeds IN
Constantinople, which, if he does do all
the squadrons of guaranteeing powers will
accompany him from Alexandria 10 the
Dardanelies, thus giving a manifestation
that Egypt is vassal of the Porte. and
that ENGLAND has no preponderance in
Egypt. The khedive is inclined to 90 70
Constantinopie, although his predecessors
were invested at Cairo. The khedive
shows other symptoms of being inclined
to kick against the English regime.
The foreign office here is of the opinion
that English diplomacy will vim and that
the khedive will be invested at Cairo. He
Will then be permitted in a little time

Crowding Out German Commerce.

BERLIN, Feb. ia number of German
papers join a section of the English press
in rancorous abuse of the United States
for the latter powers treatment of Chile.
The cause is not far to seek. 1t is jealousy
of the extension of American influence in
South America, which is leading to loss
of German trade. This trade is already
diminishing wherever it has met Ameri-
can competition.
