/ BERLIN, April 9-When tie lantag reas
semblrs on April 2S an important regroup
ing of parties will be effected The nego
! tlatlonS for Encouragement nov
proceeding point to a coalition between
/ the moderate Conservative faction, headec
! by Herren Helldorf and Pauchopt, will
the Liberals, which will result in the
formation of a cartel party, having some
| of the best elements of the old cartelers
| The split between the ultra Conservative:
and the moderates has practically destroy
ed the Conservative majority in the lantas
and also places the parry at tremendous
| disadvantage, having disorganized ranks
at the approach of general election
| There is no hope of mendipg the breach,
the declared divergence in principles being
too pronounced. Partisan virulence is
already keen. If coalition be effected OF
promising strength, the government
throwing its influence on its side, will
follow its policy on distinct
National Liberal bias. The Freisinui2e
party rejoices at seeing the powerful re-
dictionary party disntegrated The mod
crates who support Helldorf are numer-
ically weak The bulk of the Conserva-
tives continue in consonance with the
Centrists on the primary education bill,
and await a chance TO avenge themselves
on the government for abandoning that
measure. After the Easter holidays the
leaders will announce the new program
which is now being elaborated, the spirit
OF which IS shown in an address TO Miu-
lister Won SedlltZ, signed by eighty-fiye
members of the right in the upper house
OF the Prussian diet, expressing gratitude
for his defense of Conservative principles.
The public take the political uncertain
tude quietly, though the situation is preg-
nant with eventful issues. Even the re-
ports of Chancellor Won Caprivi's retiring
after Easter in favor of Count Won Eulen-
berg do not stir the general pulse.
The preparations of the Socialists for
the May day celebration are keenly watch
ed by the authorities. At council of the
ministers Chancellor Won Caprivi proposed
to influence employers to refuse their men
holiday if the celebration is organized
for Monday, May 2. instead of Sunday
The Austrian Socialists, who have de-
clded to hold their demonstration o. the
second, desired the Germans to hold SIM
infamous celebration on that day. H-rr
Miguel advised his colleagues to treat the
day as a recognized labor holiday, and if
the celebration be held on Monday 20 close
the government factories. Herr Miguel
even suggested that the prices at
the theaters subsidized by the
government be reduced and that the mill
tary bands be ordered 10 play in the public
gardens. The other ministers did not go
SO far as Herr Miguel wanted them to go,
but they agreed not to oppose the demon
strations.
The Socialist leaders have incurred the
ill-will of the Austrian Socialists by re-
fusiug to make Sunday and Monday holi-
days. May day proper will be celebrated
in Germany. In Berlin a number of
meetings have been held, and the public
gardens and suburban resorts will be filled
with great crowds of working men and
their families celebrating the day. If there
be the smallest Anarchist attempt to
create disorder it will meet with instant
and severe repression. Iu Vienna Sunday
will be- celebrated by au assemblage in the
Prater to disc ss the eight-hour
question. Throughout Austria, with the
exception of Vienna, the celebrations will
be held on Monday. The want of cohesion
among the Austrian Socialists will
weaken the effect of the demonstrations.
