Special to THE MORNING CALI.

BERLIN, April To-day was the
seyenty-eighth anniversary of ths btrth of
Prince Bismarck, and A number Of Rer,in
newspapers are taking advantage of the
occasion to publish cOngratulatorv articles,
In fact, the feeling OF kindliuess toward
Prince Bismarck is far more widespread
this year than last The cause of this is
his recent utterances concerning the army
bill, which Chancellor Won Caprivi. under
direction of the Kaiser, has been irving to
get through the R-ichstag. He still has his
ardent admirers and his popular feeling,
and this action has softeued the feeling of
the Government party toward him and
greatly relieved the tension which kent
many wel-wishers little aloof from him.
The National Zeituug says that the widest
circles of German people remember with
gratitude and with reverence the founder
OF the empire, and all unite to wish that
he be long preserved to the nation.
A band of the Princes admirers In North
Germany assembled in Kie early this
evening and then proceeded to Friedricbs-
ruhe TO tender congratulations. Count
Herbert Bismarck and wife arrived at
Friedrchsruhe on Wednesday, to take part
in the celebrations.
On Wednesday, Chancellor Won Caprivi
had conference with the War Minister of
Saxony in regard to amending the army
bill, and Thursday the War Minister and
the Chancellor had another conference. but
the result Of their deliberations is not
known. DR.. Won Benuingsen, the National
Liberal leader, has also resumed negotia-
tions with tile Chancellor, and stimuli
taneous movements induce the belief id
political circles that dissolution Of the
Reirhstsg will yet be avoided.
During the short interval Of the Easter
recess already passed both the Government
and the opposing party leaders have more
keenly realized the grave eventualities aris-
ing from the struggle, which may imperiI
some OF the fundamental institutions of the
empire. The opposition organs now admit
that the Ministers view the prospect of dis
solution with reat reluctance. The Boer-
sen Zeltung aftirms, upon what it claims TO
be high authority, that if the army bill Is
finally rejected by the Reichstag, Emperor
William will assent TO the Chancellor re-
placing the measure by moderate proposals,
and only in tile event of the Center party
continuing to oppose the latter proposals
will the Reichstag be dissolved.
The Conservatives have definitely thrown
over Rector Ahlwardt, the Jew-baitsr and
the country. venting old scandals with his
accustomed zest At Stettng, at confer
ence on German thought in conflict with
Jewish thought. Ahlwardt developed to the
satisfaction of his audience the thesis that
all moral and social evils now affecting Ger
many arose from the Jews. He concluded
his address by declaring that as soon as the
Reichstag met he would produce proofs of
corruption under the Bismarck regime and
since Bismarck held Office. A somewhat
similar conference that it was proposed to
hold in Dresden has been forbidden by the
police, and another meeting, which is ex-
peCted to be monster. has been convened
in Berlin.
Emperor William has advised the Govern
ment to consider exceptional measures for
repressing Ahlwardt, who is at present
protected by his membership in the Reich
stag. The Emperor has suggested that
action be taken against him on the ground
that he is danger to public morality. 1t
is understood, however, that the majority
of the Ministers are unwilling to interfere,
as his repression might convert him in the
eyes of the anti-Semites into a martyr.
Ahlwardts autographs or portraits are seen
in bookstores, cafes and beer cellars with
his head crowned with laurels.
The JudenhetZs is extending to the Ger
man cantons in Switzerland, and it has
already resulted in petition to the Bundles
rath, bearing $4,000 signatures, asking for
the prohibition of the Jewish mode of kill
ing cattle. The Bundesrath, by vote of
ffty-nine to forty, rejected the memorial
without discussing its claims to be heard
on sanitary and sentimental grounds
