REPRESSION OF THE REDS.
RumOTS Of a New Row Between the
Kaiser and Chancellor.

AoA AhH Oh bhe DOuIbe
Berlin, Sept. 30.-The opposition press
were never more active than now in IN
venting stories representing a rupture be-
tween the emperor and Chancellor Won
Caprivi. This time it is alleged that the
kaiser has had a difference with the
chancellor over the measures Of repres-
sion which it is proposed by his
majesty 10 have introduced in
the reichstag during the coming
session of the body According to the
Hamburger Nachrichten, the government
will passively resist the desires of the
kaiser in this matter, hoping that reac-
tion will occur which will bear them out
in their opposition, both as regards the
renewal of the exceptional laws and in
the framing of a Polish policy
The Schlesiche Zeitung, in an article
under the caption, "The Kaiser and Bis
marck Head the Opposition, endeavors
to demonstrate that the kaiser's speech at
Thorn, and Prince Bismarclt's remarks
at Varzin partook of the nature Of an en-
tente cordiale between the two as against
the policy of Chancellor Won Caprivi in re-
gard to Poland, and his resistance to the
renewal Of the auti-socialist laws.
TWO REPLIES.
These attacks, which are obviously de-
signed TO force definite declaration from
the government in regard TO its future
policy, remain unnOticed, except in two
brief semi-ofiicial communications from
Hamburg correspondent The first of these.
dated last Thursdy, said: "The enemies
of the chancellor, who are trying to con
strue the emperors recent utterances as
having been directed against him, will
soon find themselves mistaken The
chancellor has never on principle rejected
measure against agitation which en-
dangered the public welfare He has
only first desired that any measure pro-
posed to this end should be practicable
and effective. The second communica-
tiOn, dated Saturday, is in the nature of
an official telegram, which says:
mo antl-anarchist bill will be
submitted to the reichstag, having the
effect Of amending the common law, with
out the most careful consideration as to
whether it is still necessary" AS the
views of the authorities as to what steps
will be most effective continue to be di-
vergent, the communication suggests that
some differences exist in high quarters,
though e nav be said that nothing ap-
preaching the gravity of the Kanzler
crisis is possible.
THE CHANCELLOR IN THE COUNTRY.
Chancellor Won Caprivi left Berlin last
Wednesday evening on his way to the
country seat of a relative in Branden-
burg where he will pass the last three
weeks Of his Official leave of absence. No
decision on the part of the government on
the question of the amendment of the
laws is possible until his return Then
all authoritative opinion points to pro
pOsal looking TO a revision by the reich
stag of certain articles of the penal CODE
leaving the federal governments free to
introduce in the interest of their respec-
tive states what notifications of the laws
regulating associations they think proper
10 submit.
At the meeting of the Prussian cabinet,
over which Count Won Eulenburg pre-
sided. last Wednesday, it is understood
that a majority of the members present
insisted upon the adoption of severe
methods of repression, which can be sup
piled through amendments to the code.
REFORMS ON THE BoURsE.
The kaiser is interesting himself in the
expeditions furtherance of his long-pro-
jected measure dealing with illegal tran
sactions on the Bourse, usurious loans
and fraudulent acts on the part of build
ing and loan associations. AS an incentive
rumor has IL that lady prominent in the
highest of aristocratic circles went per
sonally to the emperor and presented to
him a statement showing that she
had been duped and ruined by certain
operators on the bourse through whom
she had invested and lost her entire for
tune. The kaiser gave the matter his
personal attention, and after having
pointed out TO the ministry the justice of
the case, ordered the preparation of a bill
enlarging the scope Of the powers Of the
public prosecutor in the matter of dealing
with similar fraudulent transactions.
A PARTY's NEW POLICY.
Among the many political congresses
that have pet during the past week was
a meeting Of the kreisinnige Nolkspartei,
which convened at Eisenael, with 400 dele
gates present. The meeting was unusually
harmonious and unanimously adopted the
Richter programme without a single
alteration or modification. Resolutions
were also passed which committed the
faction TO legislative interference in favor
of the principle of state insurance of
workingmen and other notifications OF
the doctrine of individualism which the
EreisinniRe Nolkespartei a few years ago
bitterly opposed The Volks Zeitung
commenting on the proceedings Of the
meeting. expressed the opinion that the
party has been weakened Dy ttS departure
from its former standards In the mean
time Herr Richter has secured apparent
harmony in the party on popular lines,
which is likely 10 add 10 its strength.
THE SOCIAL DEMocRATIcs.
The social democratics held a meeting
at Aschaffenburg, at which they passed
resolutions declaring against the enact
ment Of special repressive laws. The es-
tablishment and fostering OF free institu-
tions, they affirmed, were the best means
Of subduing revolutionary parties.
The Vorwaerts in an excessively fervsd
article on Friday announced the celebra-
tion Of the Both anniversary Of the found
ing Of the International Guild Of Social
ism by Karl Marx, and boasted of the
fact, which II declared was undeniable,
that the spirit OF socialism in Germany
was giving genuine inspiration TO the
brotherhood Of all the workingmen In the
world

terday SCOTS at the idea Of socialist mo-
rality, and contends that socialism is
essentially revolutionary and has no rela-
tion 10 sound natl nal ethics. Az the
same time the paper declares it is a source
Of danger 20 the state and 10 society.
