Berlin, Dec. S.-The anti-revolutionary
ollI Is now published teXtually, and is
everywhere subjected to the most severe
criticism. Although the national liberals
alone give the bill their UNQUALIFIED an.
proVal, the general opinion is gaining
ground that if modified it will become n
law. For this reason the socialists have to
a great extent to thank themselves for
their action in the reichstag on Thursday,
having produced very bad effect upon
the country. Paragraph 100 is the one
most likely to be rejected. 1t runs thus:
ANY person who shall in q manner cal
culated to endanger the public peace, pub.
ley lnclte different classes of the popula-
tlon TO acts of violence, shall be fined 600
marks, or be imprisoned for a period not
exceeding two years. The same punish
ment will be dealt to any one in any man.
ner endangering the public peace, or shall
publicly attack religion, the monarch, his
family, or property by insulting utter
ances."
The fight will wage around the above
paragraph, which will be opposed, not
only by the socialists and Liberals, but by
other parties. For instance, the anti
Semites and Catholics oppose it. Ortho-
doX Catholics do not recognize the valid
ity of civil or mixed marriages, vet both
are performed legally, and any attack
upon them, even by priest from the pull.
pit, would be violation of the law. The
anti-Semite is also liable to punishment
for anti-Jewish agitation.
The Vorwaerts, the socialists organ,
today says that this paragraph is modelled
on an act of the state of Illinois, under
which the anarchists were hanged in 1887.
The debate on the bill will be opened by
Chancellor Hohenlohe after the Christ
mas recess.
According to the Cologne Gazette, ow-
ing to Thursdays scene in the reichstag,
bill will be introduced giving the reich
stag power to repress similar scenes of
disorder.
Prince Hohenlohe is to make his first
speech in the capacity as chancellor of the
German empire next Tuesday.
Emperor William, after attending num-
erous public functions at the beginning of
the week, has started out for Hummer
shain to participate in hunting party on
the estate of Duke SAKE Allenberg. His
majesty will return to Berlin tomorrow,
that he may attend the celebration in
honor of the Booth anniversary of the
birth of Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.
According to an announcement made to-
day the emperor's song to Aeger has pro-
duced 5000 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 Vienna Maennerge Sang
verein, in accordance with their statutes,
recently sent the emperor diploma of
membership and gold ducat on account
of heir performances of his song to Ae-
ger. The emperor has just replied, eX-
pressing thanks for the honor done him,
and saying that the golden ducat will ever
