sen NoE bleSlau congress debated lne aliti-
socialist bill. There We're occasional al
lusions TO the governments repressive
programme, but no attempt to consider it
seriously.
The Norwaerts says that the social
democratic deputies are receiving from
all counties letters and kilograms Of
sympathy and encouragement. They are
urged TO stand firm against the anti
socialisuc bill and the emperor's attempt
to muzzle them in the Reichstag. VIII
liam Liebnecht, the social democratic
leader, said in an interview on Friday
that while unwilling to predict the i'm
mediate future. he was confident the an
u-socialist campaign would eventually
help his party. What a giant like Prince
Bismack failed to accomplish "Lilipu-
tians like Hohenlohe. MIGUEL and Koel-
Ter will find utterly impossible. 1 cannot
believe the emperor will risk such a coup
as the dissolution of the Reichstag and
the abolition of universal suffrage. but
the social democrats are prepared for
anything. / feel confident that the anti
socialistic bill will not pass in its present
form"
Herr Leibnecht spoke also Of the gov
ernment's proposal TO prosecute the so
cial democratic deputies who refused to
cheer for the emperor. The defeat of
this proposal. he said, was hard blow
to the government md the blow would
be repeated If the chancellor should try
the same thing again. To persist in such
a course would bring the government into
direct and bitter conflict with the Reich
stag. Whatever the government did now,
whether it advanced or retreated, the
situation was bound to be of great ad-
vantage TO the social democracy.
All social democratic prejudice aside,
it is felt that the present in nature of
the South German states has become a
potent factor with which the emperor
must reckon at once. While they view
with jealousy and fear the new at
tempts at Prussian domination, the emf
peror will not dare to exert much pres
sure on the Reichstag or resort to a
dissolution. 1t is Understood that the
King of SaXony gave the emperor some
very strong advice 10 this effect during
the recent hunt at koenigs- -Wusterhau-
sen.
Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe expects
to go to Friedrichsruhe on next Wednes-
day. The appointment of his son, Alex
eXander, to be councillor of legation has
worried the radicals who say the coun-
cillor is honor bound to resign his seat
in the Reichstag. The Kreuz Zeitung eX-
plains that the appointment is merely
honorary, brings with Il no salary and,
therefore conflicts In no way the coun-
cillor's legislative duties.
With the adjournment of the French
Chamber the excitement over the Drey-
fus scandal has been allayed temporar-
lily, although more friction is expected
after the re-assembling of the deputies.
Princess Gisele of Bavaria has gone to
Troppau to see her daughter the Prin-
cess Elizabeth, who ran away 10 marry
Lieut.. Baron Zefriend. The Princess Eliz-
abeth is on her first ohildbed, and has been
watched for days by her husband
mother. In Munich the meeting of the
mothers is expected TO result In recon
ciliation. 1t is hoped that Prince Leopold
can be persuaded now TO forgive his rum
away daughter and let her return TO the
Bavarian court, where she always has
been q favorite. Baron zefriend, who is
a lieutenant in the Austrian army. has
lived since his marriage in seclusion in
Troppau.
Ex-Deputy Leuss, sentenced to hard
labor for perjuring himself in a divorce
case, is working limestone near Lmburg
for the governments benefit. A Berlin
publisher offered him a big price for a
story of his experience in prison, but Leuss
was forbidden to accept it, as such an Nm
dertaking would be contrary to the terms
of his sentence.
Lorenz, an anarchist and four accom-
plices, were arrested yesterday for coining
mark pieces.
Thiemicke, treasurer of the Hildhelm
association of social democratic metal
workers, has abseonded with the money
deposited with him.
Among the tariff amendments contem-
plated by the government Is an increase
of the tax on cotton seed oil from to 10
marks. The papers admit that the Uni
ted States will feel this increase most
keenly.
