THE SILVER MEN NOT II sUCH
HIGH SPIRITS NOW.

Nothing 90 satisfy the Agrarians

speech-The speech Gives Rise to-
Rumors Of Cabinet Disseusions.
How the Newspapers stand.
Berlin. $eb. 23.-The agrarlans and thelr
friends. the silver men. are not in such
high spirits as at the beginning Of the
week. At the mass-meeting on Monday.
when some 10000 members OF the Farners'
League acclaimed Herr Won Ploetzs pre-
dic,on OF speedy triumph, their hopes
were Unlimited. They prophesied freely
a new era OF high tariffs. free silver. and
grain monopoly. They expected an lmme.
diate response from the government, and
have been much chagrined by the appar-
ent indifference OF the ministers 10 theis
demonstration.
The government has not taken any steps
to realize the expectations of the BIZ
metallists regarding an International
money conference. Dr. Won Boettichera
speech to the general assembly of tha
German chambers of commerce yester-
day was the sole official utterance on the
subject and It contained nothing satis-
factory 20 the agrarians except the adj
mission that German agriculture was de.
pressed. Herr Boetticher in fact made q
strong defence OF Count Won Caprivis re-
ciproolty treaties, which are the special
abominatlon of the farmers league. Ha
said "let anybody who regards the com-
merelal treaties as a failure, think for q
moment what would have become Of our
industries without this reciprocity policy.
The treaties have not been the cause OF the
agricultural distress. II is a mistake to
hold them responsible for IT,"
This explicit utterance is In such bold
contrast to Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe's
formal declarations and Frelherr Won
Hammerstein-Loxten' speeches that 10
has given rise TO reports OF dlssensions in
the cabinet. These dssensions are said
20 have imperiled the positions Of Herr
Won Koeller and Freiherr Won Hammer
stein, and to have rendered both some
what more cautious IN their espousaI
OF the agrarian cause. Chancellor Prince
HOhenlohe Is understood 10 side with Herr
Boetticher, who with his usual pliancy is

opinions.
The newspapers which take their cue
from the chanceliery begin 10 condemn
the fervor Of the aBrarian agitation. The
N0rd Deutach Allgemeine Zeitung warns
! the leaders Of the farmers league 10
abate their demands and cease acting as
if their cause were already triumphant
| Otherwise, says the writer, the members
viii simply place weapons I'm the hands
Of their enemies while surrounding their
friends with new difficulties.
The Koelnischo Zcitung expresses conf
denee that Prince HOhenlohe Will not al
low few agrarian politicians, group
OF land owners whose every acre Is mort
gaged and the attendant crowd Of polit-
ical adventurers, to block the course of
German prosperity and disquiet the coun.
try. The writer then cuts TO the core OF
the present situation. when he asks: "WilI
the group led by Herr Won Koeller amt
DR.. Miguel now play against Prince Ho-
henlohe the same part that Count Botho
Zu Eulenburg and Or. Miguel played
against Count Won CapnI in the minis
terial clrcles?'
The query Is exciting the keenest in
terest. It is believed that the emperor, In
his conference with Prince Hohenlohe
yesterday, decided how Far he would go
TO satisfy the agrarians, and excluded from
the possibility OF acceptance of Count
Kanitzs proposals for state monopoly or
regulation Of the grain trade.

on the issue, local interest causing differ

the energy Of lifelong opponents The
Bavarians favor the new tax, while 9th
ers are so hostile to II that even the con-
sent OF the government to readmit ths
Jesults would not suffice to reconcile them
to IT, The unpopularity of the tax through
out the country Is beyond doubt. Pro-
tests against il are coming in from an
quarters of the empire.
The Westphalian manufactures say
that II the bill be passed they must dis
charge at once more than 5000 tobacco
workers.
The Prussian ministers decided. IN a
council held yesterday, to summon the
council OF state to meet about March II

peror. The sessions viii be open. The
main business will concern the agrlcul-
tural depression.

Large orders for the new United states

Cardinal Kopp has issued a pastoral let
ter concerning womans rights and the
agitation IN favor of equal political privi-
leges for all. He says: 1T is against the
order Of the world that the emancipation
OF woman should mean her absolute equal
ity with man. Gods will Is that woman
should be the help mate. She is bodily
unfit for mans work and her emanci-
patton, to the end that she might work
side by side with man. would mean the
deterioration of the Christinaity that freed
her from slavery and made her mans So
cial equal Unrestricted equality would
mean woman's ruin"
