BERLIN, April 20.-The wheel of parlia-
mentary politics will resume active work
on Tuesday next, when the reichstag re-
assemblies with big programme before
IL, including amendments to and changes
in the tariff law, the socialist bill. defining
and enlaraing the rights OF association
and coalition, and pleuary discussion of
the anti-revolutionist bill. The measure
last alluded to is the bugbear of the liber-
ais, radicals and socialists, and has
been rendered even more stringent in
committee, at the instance OF the mem-
bers of the center party, who are angling
for the repeal of the anti-Jesuit laws.
The clerical proposals, however. IN some
respects, are very radical, and the govern
ment hesitates to accept them, fearing to
ovorstep the mark and further intensity
popular resentment. Tue national lib
erals, who at first favored the bill, are now
disgusted with the reactionary character
i IL il assuming and have deserted to the
side of its opponents.
Thus it's adoption depends entirely upon
| the support of the center party, the men,
/ bers of which demand that the bill be
passed as they shaped 1t, or not ut oil.
| Conservatives declare they will not con-
sent to place German Professionalism un-
der the heel of its hereditary enemies. Tho
government is thus in n dilemma, for
| il Il refuses the demands of the center
party the anti-revolution bill Is certain to
be rejected, while IL it consents to the de-
mands OF the centrist the government
will ALLEVIATE its conservato supporters.
As n solution OF the situation those who
fear both clerical reaction and socialist
encroachments, appeal to the emperor to
intervene as he did in the case OF the
withdrawal Of the Scediitz education bill
in 1892 and bring about the withdrawal oi
the anti-reyolution bill. Such interposi.
ton, however, would be unconstitutional
as in the case of an imperial measure the
bundesrath alone has power.
The dispute between Great Britain and
Nicaragua is being watched here and
tho opinion of those competent
to pronounce an opinion upon the
matter is decidedly against allowing
Nicaragua to get off too cheaply. More
over the idea of Intervention - the
part of the United States is not
received here with enthusiasm. The
Vossische Zsitung. commenting on the
situation, says: England represents no
only British but European interests. The
Central American republics have been
guilty of repeated acts of lawlessness
against foreigners and they deserve TO be
taught n lesson. IL the United States
claims to extend the application OF the
Monroe doctrine to these unruly neigh
, bors, they must also undertake to beal
: the responsibility of the fulhilment o.
) their international obligations"
The treaty of peace between Japan ant
; China is favorably criticized in leading
political circles, and the sending of tw
additional German warships to the IA
East is generally approved.
