The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-04-02

BERLIN, April To-day is the 18th an
niversary of the birth OF Prince Bismarck,
and number of the Berlin newspapers
are taking advantage of the occasion to
publish congratulatory articles. The Ma
tional Zeitung says that the widest circles
of the German people remember with
gratitude and reverence the founder Of the
empire. They all unite in the wish that
he may be long preserved to the nation.
A band OF the princes admirers in North
Germany assembled in kiel early this
morning and thence proceeded to Freid-
erichsruhe to tender their congratulations
to the prince. Count Herbert Bismarck
and his wife arrived at FREDERICKSBURG on
Wednesday last to take part in the cele-
bration. Among the many presents re-
ceived by the great states man was splen
did album sent by number of Germans
in America. This album contains 100
photographs of beautiful scenery of little
Central American republic. The Bis
marck fountaine in SAKE Weimar- -Eisenach
WAS inaugurated today.
On Wednesday Chancellor Won Caprivi
had conference with the war minister of
Saxony in regard amending the army bill.
On Thursday the war minister and the
chancellor had another conference; but the
result of their deliberations is not known.
Herr Won Bennigsen, the National Liberal
leader, has resumed his negotiations, aim
ing to get the government to accept in a
modified form the proposals he has already
IN ade relative to the bill in the rechstag
These simultaneous movements induce a
belief in political circles that dissolution
of the reichstag will yet be avoided. The
bill will not again appear in the reichstag
until the return of Emperor William from
Italy, whittier he proceeds to take part in
the celebration of King Humbert's silver
wedding He will probably return on
May f.
During the short interval of the Easter
recess already passed both the government
and the party leaders have more keenly
realized the grave eventualty arising from
the struggle, which may imperil some Of
the fundamental institutions Of the en-
pre. The opposition organs, instead OF
breathing daily defiance against the gov
ernment, now admit that compromise IS
possible, while Chancellor Won Caprivi's
organs confess that the ministers view the
prospect of dissolution OF the reichstag
with great reluctance. The Boersen lei
tuBg affirms, upon what it claims to be
high authority that if the army bill be
finally rel ected by the reichstag, Emperor
William will assent to the chancellor's
replacing the measure by moderate pro-
posals, and that only in the event of the
Center party's continuing to oppose these
latter proposals will the reichstag be dis
solved
The conservatives have definitely thrown
over Rector Ahlwardt, the Jew-baiter and
libeler. But, irrepressible as ever, he per-
vades the country, ventilating old scandals
with his accustomed Zest. At Stettin at a
conference on German Thought in Con-
fiict with Jewish Thought" Ahlwardt de-
veloped to the satisfaction of his audience
the thesis that all the moral and social
evils now affecting Germany arose from
the jews. He concluded his address by
declaring that soon as the reichstag met
he would produce proof of corruption
under Prince Bismarck's regime and since
Prince Bismarck has held Office.
