POLITICS IN SPAIN.
A Lively Fight Over tho Proposed
Postponement of the Elections.

EOsbpOhSAu6nb OF INC IleCClOne.
Madrid, May 1.-THE republicans and
Carlists are making persistent and
strong fight against the government bill
providing for a postponement of the mu-
nicipal elections until November. Both
groups have followed course of unremit-
ting obstruction in the cortes. The deputies
have sat for thirty hours without inter
mission, and the opposition show no signs
of wavering. The reason given BY the
government for deferring the elections, is
that at the last municipal election the
republicans won by systematic and wide
spread forgery, and that to purge the cleo
toral lists and to guarantee an honest vote,
will require several months work. Each
side in the cOrtes say they are determined
to sit until their opponents give
in. There is every prospect
that the sitting will be continued
until midnight Saturday, when an ad-
journment over Sunday will be necessary.
The public prosecutor has ordered that
the two principal republican newspapers
in Madrid be suppressed.

Springfield, H., May 1.-THE prospects
of congressional and senatorial reap

paired this morning by the death of Rep
resentative Ernest Myers Of Calhoun
county. This leaves the democrats but
II votes, bare quorum in the House,
and the party is at the mercy of single
recalcitrant. Twenty days must elapse
before the Myers vacancy can be legally
filled and it is expected that the legisla-
ture will adjourn sine die before that
time. The democratic leaders are des-
perate over the situation and the talk of
seating Van Praag over Bish (colored) is

A TALK ABOUT POLITICS.

National Committeeman.

They Refuse to Divulge the Subject of

prvrick-The Judge May Enter the
Race for United States Senator.
Washington, May n.-An interesting
group of politicians who saw the Presi-
dent by special appointment to-day, was
composed of Chairman Harrity of the
national democratic committee, Assistant
Secretary of State Josiah Quincy, the
renresentative of Massachusetts on that
committee, and Mr.. Sewell, the Maine
member. These three politicians had a
long conference with the President, but
beyond admitting that they were discus
sing national politics they refused to di-
vuIge the subject of the conversation.
Judge Crisp may not be able to fix Editor
Bascom Myrick just where he wants to,
but that is no evidence that he lacks pull
ing power with this administration. He
is doing some very effective work here for
his district, and promises to plant some
representative in all of the departments.
He is keeping very quiet, and one rarely
sees him about his quarters at Selden's
hotel. The appointment of Mr.. Blount to
a foreign station would seem to invite
Mr.. Crisp to enter the senatorial race,
and the impression is that he will offer if
he is reelected speaker of the House next
fall.s

PRINCE BIsMARCK-Once o uler
never even below the second fiddler in
the estimation of his former followers
comes forth from his retreat at times to
embarrass the imperial policy and, il
possible, place the young emperor in
such predicament that he will be forced
to call upon the old man for help. How
ever, he is very wary in his movements
and very politio in his utterances, for
not many months ago he was given to
understand that Germany had but one
emperor and that his name was Will
helm. The swinging round the circle
which Bismarck thought would re-es-
tablish his supremacy with the people
was cut short by q curious alliance be-
tween the emperor and the very forces
which antagonlzed him. The emperor in
tended that Germany should not recog-
nize another power, while the liberals
knew very we'll that the iron chancellor's
record precluded any possibility Of real
sympathy from that quarter. Bismarck
now makes another tack. Foreseeing
the growth Of the states rights move
ment-which, indeed, is just now at
tracing the attention Of all Berlin cor
respondents-he recently expressed fear
that the autocracy Of the German gov
eminent might be broken by the forced
growth of Capitalization. His remarks
leave the inference that the emperor is
swinging the whip with altogether too
much vigor. In the meantime the lat
ter, for the purpose Of passing the army
bill, is making himself as agreeable to
the German people as his nature per-
mits, for he knows full we'll that defeat
e the further shaking, and perhaps
the topping of his throne. In the par
lance Of the race track, he may now be
played for a favorite, but the strength
of his staying qualities is yet to be de-
termined.
