Berlin, May Fittings are once
more in a chaotic condition in Ger
many. The two chief government bills,
the anti-reyolution bill and the tobacco
tax measure. have been crushingly de-
feated and there is no talk OF substi-
tute measures. 1t is an open secret
that the views of the chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe, and the Prussian minister
OF the interior, Herr Won Koeller, clash
on most subjects Of Importance and
the existing situation cannot endure.
The latter's position Is so shaken
that his term of Office may end at any
moment. Prince HohenIohe, who has
been much worried for months past,
offered his resignation Immediately at
ter the defeat OF the anti-revoiution
bill, but he was persuaded 10 remain
the emperor and his own family Herr
Won Koeller's handling of the anti
revolution bill is condemned on all
sides, but he has displayed a total dis
regard of the dissatisfaction. and in
fact strongly urged before the council
of state the Introduction of another
anti-revolution bill directed particular
ly at socialists. Prince Hohenlohe
quietly disproved his arguments and
showed the futility of continuing the
fight in the present reichstaS.
WON'T TRY IT AGAIN.
The chancellor was supported in this
contention by DR.. MIGUEL, the minister
OF finance, Baron Marshall Won Bieber-
stein, the minister for foreign affairs
and Dr. Won Boetticher, the imperial
secretary of state for the interior,
while DR.. Schoenstedt. the minister OF
justice, sided with Herr Won Koeller.
Prince Hohenlohe's views also met with
favor in the Bundesrath, with the re-
suit that no new anti-revolution bin or
labor-tobacco-tax bill Will be introduc-
ed and an early close OF the relchstag
session is therefore expected Accord
ing to anticipations the reichstag Will
adjourn at the end of the month.
Members of the Center party today
introduced a motion in the lower house
of the Prussian diet forthe restoration
OF the clause of the constitution in re-
lation to the Christian church which
was repealed in 1868; but only the Poles
supported il. The speakers of the re-
mainGer Of the parties declared them
selves in opposition TO the motion and
declined 10 enter into it's discussion.
Thereupon the bill was put TO vote
and was rejected.
BIMETALISTS PERSEVERE
The bimetallists have laid a motion
similar TO that adopted IN theupper
house of the Prussian diet, before the
lower house of the diet. Ii has been
signed by over 200 members, chiefly
Conservatives and CentristS.
-Four dredges and seven tugs have
been engaged day and night dredging
the earth which slipped into the Baltic
and North Sea canal on Wednesday
last, and large quantities of gravel are
being brought to the spot in order TO
strengthen the damaged parts of the
banks. 1t is now recognized that 1t is
impossible to obtain, in time for the
opening of the fetes which are to be
celebrate the completion of the canal
works, the stipulated depth Of nine
metres and so the contractors have been
ordered 20 get uniform depth of eight
metres throughout. The imperial mar
quee at Holtenau, in which the gala
banquet will be given on the evening of
June n, Will be a gigantic affair. 1t
Will measure 40 yards in length and
viii be 20 yards wide. This magnifi-
cent tent viii accommodate a thousand
guests who viii be seated also at tables
/ Will be an exact reproduction of the
German frigate Niobe and the masts
and rigging of that vessel viii be util-
lied in its construction.
BUSY INVENTING LAMPS.
Owing to the increase in the price of
petroleum, inventors are busy through
Il 1I,.-ff
tutes for petroleum and one new lamp.
in which raw alcohol is used to feed
an incandescent Temp, is being tested
with the view of replacing the petro-
leum. Emperor William personally
witnessed a series of experiments with
this lamp a the new palace at Potsdam
and pronounced the apparatus TO be
calculated to achieve the desired re-
suit. He also expressed the hope that
it would become the lamp Of the poor,
being both cheap and better than the
petroleum lamp.
Count Won KotZ, on the personal order
Of the emperor, has called off the re-
naming duels he intended TO fight
against his alleged traducers. Won
Kotz viii be remembered as the mas
ter Of ceremonies who was arrested and
subsequently released after having
been suspected of being the author of
anonymous letters which caused such
trouble in high court circles for years.
