sideration or resources of a capable states
man, in view of the menacing situation
Such an attempt would be an ordeal for
the nation. and would be estimated,
doubtless, according to its ultimate sue
cess"
The Vossische Zeitung and Frelsinnige
Zeitung agree that DR.. Roessler has been
made the mouth-piece of Prince Bis
marck's most secret thoughts and wishes.
They remark that nobody need wonder
now If the social democrats use DR..
Roossler's line of argument to Justify
revolution from below to prevent the
proposed revolution from above.
The BaYarian social democrats have
thrown down the gauntlet to the party
congress, which will meet in Frankfort
two weeks from to-day. They have voted
confidence in Herren Nollmar and Grill
lenberger, who, in the Bavarian diet, ap-
proved grants to the government. The
course of Herren Vollmar and Grillen-
berger is condemned severely by the Be
bel-Lieknecht Club of North German par
tisans, and will be denounced by them as
betrayal of party principles This will
be the subject of one dispute in the con-
gress A still more violent scene will be
caused by the Independent social demo-
Gratis when they assail Heron
Bebel, Liebknecht and Singer The
central committee will defend these
North German comrades as vigorously
as it win attack the South German
leaders. In view of the common dan
ger threatened by the imperial govern
ment, no permanent rupture Of the party
is expected, however much the rival
groups may hate one another Neverthe-
less, the supremacy of the Berlin leaders
is likely to be imperiled.
The agrarian unions of Stopp, Schlawe
and Rummelsburg have requested Prince
Bismarck to receive them before his de-
parture from Varzin, Prince Bismarck 9
answer is that his health and the weather
permitting he viii welcome them and ad-
dress them. He expresses the hope that
they win not expect a political speech at
the present juncture of affairs. The
unions are now talking of making a
grand demonstration at Friederichsruhe
on the princes S0th birthday.
The Volks Zeitung publishes to-day EN-
peror Williams order amending the pow
ers of superior officers to control the
marriage OF their men. Hereafter an Of
hcer's consent may not be made depen-
dent on the location of the place where
the ceremony is to be solemnized. The
emperor thus abolishes the practice OF
discriminating in favor of protestants as
against Catholics. He wishes to see the
| fewest possible Obstacles in the way OF
soldiers marrying.
4 story now abroad is to the effect that
| at a recent naval ball the emperor asked
group of young women jokingly: What
would you all say If / should forbid my
officers to marry?"
There was a dead silence for a moment;
then a young woman replied: Your
majesty would not dare do il, for the
| army and navy would die out"
The report that the emperor expects to
| visit the Paris exhibition in 1900 is a fic-
| ton. He has not even considered such q
| trip.
The inquiry as to the soandalous letters
! once attributed 20 IAberecht Won Kotze
| will be continued. The court of honor
| gave judgment in the case.
The military authorities are dissatisfied
| with the work of the bicy-
| clist detachment in their recent
! Prussian maneuvers. The bicy-
! cllsts did good service in reconnoiterina
on dry high roads, but in cross country
| work and on wet roads they accomplished
| nothing. One arm of the corps had good
| luck with bicyclists, using them in @
| complete detachment against cavalry. II
| this case the ground was distinctly un
! favorable to horses and the bicyclsts
after advancing through a concentrated
| fire, drove them back.
| Five social democratic mass meetings
| were held here to-day to protest agains
| the tobacco tax which is to be proposed by
| the government. In their resolutions they
| protested against depriving $4,000 work
| ingmen Of employment by increasing tn,
taxes, and denounced the government fol
| violating its promise to put the burden o.
| the last army bill on the shoulders Of the
| rich. They appointed permanent commit
| tees to agitate and organize the peopl,
| of Berlin in opposition to the bill.
