BERLIN, Feb. 13.-The committee to
| which was referred the sectarisn (primary)
education bill submitted by the govern.
ment to the reichstag has, during the past
week, dealt with thirteen of the clauses OF
that measure, but has reserved the con-
sideratiOn of the sections relating to the
question of religion. These clauses. with
the postponed sections, which form the
kernel of the measure, will be taken up
next week, when it will be seen whether
the government has the courage to defy
the popular opposition which is led by
the most eminent men in Germany. The
Liberal coalition appears to have gained
III the committee, by securing the passage
of the proposal submitted by Herr
Rickert, reafirming the principle of
state control of schools. Minister
Zedlitz considered that the declaration
did not affect the concessions of the state
and he offered no resistance to the amend
ment, which was only opposed by the
Centrist or church party. Herr Rickert
next tried to get the committee TO fix five
hours weekly as the maximum time to be
devoted to religious instruction. On this
practical question the Conservatives aud
Contrists were all alive, and they united
to bring about its rejection This is re-
garded as bad omen for the success of
any of the other proposed notifications
of the religious clauses. The clericals
gave notice of several amendments, giving
the clergy even greater control than now
provided for in the bill.
In the meanwhile the protests against
the measure grow in number and in i'm
portance. The Frankfort-on-the- Main
teachers have been disseminating fierce
attacks on the bill, quoting Professor
Nirchow's phrase that it is "a disgraceful
alteration of the human intellect" Pub
meetings have been held in many of the
populous centers of Prussia to protest
against the bill.
The joint movements of the dreibund' s
squadrons in the Levant are due to the
diplomatic warfare over the sultan's
iuvesture of the khedlve. France and
Russia are urging the sultan TO refuse the
inyesture unless the khedive proceed to
Constantinople. Although the khedive's 5
predecessors were invested at Cairo he is
inclined to go TO Constantinople. The
khedive also shows other symptoms of be-
ing inclined TO kick against the English
regime. The foreign Office here is of the
opinion that English diplomacy will win
and that the khedive will be Invested at
Cairo.
A number of German papers join a sec
tion OF the English press in rancOrous
abuse of the United States for the latter
powers treatment of Chill. The cause is
not hard to see. The cause is jealousy Of
the extension of American influence in
South America, which is leading to the
loss of German trade. This trade is already
dimishing wherever it has met with
American competition.

THE HILL BOOM.
FIX Senator Brown of Georgia FavOrs Tam
many's Candidate.

ATLANTA Ga, Feb 13.-Ex-Senator
Brown faYors Senator Hill for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination. He has
addressed letter TO the Constitution, re-
GREETING the unfortunate division between
eX-President Cleveland and Senator Hill
as rival candidates for the nomination. In
the letter he says:
The Democratic party has victory with
in its grasp, if it makes no objectionable
mistakes; but to make victory certain II
Is necessary that we have united Democ-
raCy. 1t will be necessary to nominate a
c lndidate who can carry all the southern
democratic states and who can carry New
York. Connecticut, New Jersey and lndl-
ana We should take the earliest steps
possible to ascertain the sentiment of the
states just mentioned. If there is more
certainty that Cleveland can carry them,
than Hill can, he should receive the nom
inatiOn. If, OH the other hand, the de-
velOpments showed, or may show, that
Hill will be certain to carry those states,
then the party should not hesitate to make
him the standard-bearer
you, or some of your readers, may re-
member a case that does not occur to me
at present, but | do not remember one
where the same person has been nomi-
mated by either of the great political par
ties to run three consecutive times for the
office of president, whether successful or
unsuccessful in the second election. If
this had been Democratic usage, then
usage is unfavorable to the claims
of eXPresident Cleveland. He had
been elected president and served one
term. He was nominated for a second
term, and, with all the machinery, patron
age and power of the administration, has
been defeated for a second term. Ii Demo
cratic usage amounts to anything, or Dem
Ocratic precedent is to be considered, this
inevitably disposes of Cleveland for an
other term, and it would be more in con
formity with the usage of the party to
nominate Hill or some other good man as
the Democratic candidate.
Cleveland being out of the way as a
candidate for the nomination, by the I'M
broken usage of the Democratic party,
Hill looms up head and shoulders above
any other aspirant. His nomination will
be followed by success at the ballot box,
which will cause all branches of the
federal government TO pass again under
the control of the Democrats.

AMERICAN MEAT INSPECTION.

CHICAGO. Feb 12-Three officials of the
French governmeut-Maurice Ducios, OF
the department of commerce; A. Richie.
member Of the Academy of Medicine and
professor of chemistry in the High School
of Pharmacy at Paris, and T. Roum, an
attache of the foreign department-visited
the stock yards and Investigated the
method Of inspecting the meat Chicago
sends to Europe. NJ. Duclos pronounced
the system of inspection perfect. In fact,
there had been no complaint in Paris, but
since hog products had been admitted in
many continental countries there had
naturally been some curiosity to know
how the meat for export is examined.
From what he had seen he was much
pleased, aud lie had no doubt that the
French government would adopt the
American system.
