Berlin Dec. s.-The unti-reyolutlon-
ary bill Is now published textually and
is almost everywhere subjected to very
severe criticism. Although the national
liberals alone give the bill their un-
qualified approval. the general opinion
IL gaining ground that The measure, II
modified, will become law. For this re-
suit the socialists have TO great ex-
tent 10 thank themselves, their action
In the reichstag on Thursday having
produced very bad effect upon the
country.
Paragraph 100 is the one which Is
most likely 10 be- rejected. IL runs thus:
ANY person who shall, In manner cal
cuiated to endnnger public peace, pub
ilcly incite the different classes Of popu-
lhtion Ia acts OF violence. shall be fined
up 10 600 marks, or be Imprisoned for
period not exceeding two years. The
same punishment will be dealt 10 any
one VINO, IN manner endangering the
public peace, shall publicly attack re-
ligion, monarchy. marriage, family, or
property by Insulting utterances.
lhe night viii rage around the above
paragraph. which Will be opposed not
only by socialists and liberals. but by
other parties. For instance, the anti
Semites and Catholics oppose Il. The
orthodox Catholics do not recognize the
validity OF civil or mixed marriages, yet
both are perfectly legal. and any at
tack upon them, even by priest from
the pulpit, would be violation OF the
law. The antl-Semites are also liable
to punishment for antl-Jewish agita-
tion. The Norwaerts. the socialist or
gan, to-day says this paragraph is mod
elled on an act Of the state OF Illionis.

scenes of disorder.
Prince Hohenlohe is 10 make his first
speech In the capacity OF chancellor OF

According TO announcement made to-
day, the emperor's song ITO Aegir'
mas produced 1000 marks, which will
be handed over to the building fund
OF the William /. memorial cathedral.
An interesting fact In connection with
this song has just transpired. The
Maennergesang Verein, I'm accordance
with their statutes. recently sent the
emperor diploma of membership and
gold ducat ON account of their per-
formance of this song. ''To Aegir." The
emperor has just replied expressing
thanks for the honor done him and say
ing that the golden ducat will ever re-
mind him OF the beautiful city on the

the methods obtaining there with re-
gard TO the Importation OF American
cattle. They have returned with their
report that no hlndrance is placed in
the importation OF American cattle on
account OF Texas fever, and English
authorities regard II as quite innocuous.
IL remains 10 be seen whether this re-
port will lead to the withdrawal of the
restrictions placed upon the importa-
| ton of American cattle and meat into
Germany.
II. Knille, representing r. q. Dun &
Co, has returned here from a circular
trip through Germany. In an inter
view to-day with correspondent OF the
Associated Press, Knille said: THE
most palpable revival of export trade
TO America Is noticeable In the textile
industries of SaXony, and especially in
the cities of Glauchau, Gera, ChemnltZ,
Geritz, Pluaen and GrimmItschau. This
is due to the fact that the tariff law
lowered the duties on textiles about 30
or 40 per cent, To take effect after Jan.

apparent. The American exports, which
are sure To- increase, are furniture, ear
