BERLIN, Dec. S.--The anti-revolution'
ary bill is now published textually, and
is everywhere subjected to the most
severe criticism. Although the Ma
tional Liberals alone give the bill their
unqualified approval, the general opin-
ion is gaining ground that the measure,
if modified, will become . law. For
this reason = 10 Socialists have to great
extent to thank themselves, their action
in the reichstag on Thursday having
produced . very bad effect upon the
country.
Paragraph 100 is the one which Is
the most likely to be rejected. It rune
hus: "Any person who shall in .
manner calculated to endanger the pub
lie peace, publicly incite different
classes of the population to acts of
violence, shall be fined up to 800 marks.
or be imprisoned for q period not ex>
ceeding two years. The same punish-
msnt will be dealt to anyone who. in
manner endangering the public
peace, shall publicly attack religion,
the monarchy, marriage, family or pro-
perty, BY ineulting utterancee."
The debate on the bill will be opaned
by Chancellor Won Hohenl0hs, after the
Christmss reccss.
According to the Cologne Gazette, ow-
ing to Thursdays ecene in the reich
stag, bill will be introduced giving the
reichstsg power to repress similar
scenes OF disorder.
Princs HohenIohe is to make hisfirst
speech in his capacity as chanceil lor OF
the German empire next Tuesda y.
Emperor William, after attending
numerous public functions at the Begin
ming OF the week. has started for Hum
meishain, to participate in hunting
party Oh the estate of the duke of Sake
Altenburg. His majesty will return to
Berlin tomorrow, He may attend the
services in honor OF the 30Oth anni-
versary of the birth OF Gustavus

According to an announcement made
today. the empsror'ss Song to Egir has
produced sc. 900 marks, which will bs
handed over to the building fund of the
William l. memorial cathedral.
An interesting fact in connection with
this song has just transpired. Tho
Vienna MaenneTgsang Verein, IN &C
cordanee with their statutes, recently
sent the emperor diploma of mem ber-
ship and q gold ducat on account OF
their performance OF his Song to Nxir.
The emperor has just replied, express
ing thanks for the honor done him and
eaying that the golden ducat will ever
remind him that in the beautiful city
on the Danube, German song and music
have met remarkable Encouragement.
A pleasant surprise which she archi.
tect OF the new building, Herr Paul.
willot, arranged for she visitors, was
only discovered on the day of the open
ing OF the Reichstag palace. In the cor.
ridors around the reception hall are
arranged busts of noted German par.
liamentariana. Underneath each is q
golden letter and these letters read cue.
cessively for q motto: First the Faith.
erland, then the Party.
The Hamburg senate recently sent
two experts, Herren Boysen and Vol
ters, to England with Instructions to in
spect the methods obtaining there with
regard to the importation OF America n
cattle. They have returned with their
report that no restrictions are placed on
the importation of American cattle in.
fected with Texas fever, az the English
authorities regard it az quite innocuous.
1t remains to be seen whether this re-
port will lead to the withdrawal OF the
restrictions placed upon the importation
of American cattle and meat into Gers
many.
Reductions in railway tariff over the
German and Russian roads for Russian
petroleum have just been published.
These reductions will put American
petroleum At greater disadvantage in
competition for the German market.
r. Knille, representing R. G. Dun &
Co., has returned from q circuitoue trip
through Germany. In an interview to.
day, with the correspondent of tbs
Associated Press. Mr.. Knille said:
The most palpable revival of the ex.
port trade to America is notable in the
textile trade OF Saxony, especially in the
cities OF Glauchau. Gers. Chemnitz. Ger
itz, Piuaen and Cvimmitschau. This ia
due to the fact that the new tariff law
lowered the duty on textiles from 80 to 40
per cent to take effect after January 1.
1895. Large orders are now being placed.
The Crefeld elk industry is re-
viving eighty. The full effect oi
the law will be expected within q year.
Revival iu the export trade to America
is also occurring in woolens, chinswsre,
glassware, gloves, toys, tinware, druge,
chemicals, and very largely in electro
technical articles.
The tariff muddle has suspended the
effects of the worlds fair; but they are
now becoming apparent. The American
exports which are sure to increase are
furniture, drugs and plated goods.
The reports which Frank II. Mason,
the United States consul general at
Frankfort on the Main, has forwarded
to Secretary Gresham the reasons which
German tinanciers have for distrusting
American railroad bonds, are generally
commented upon by the German press.
The Berlin Tageblatt agrees with Mz.
Mason's views.
