Berlin. May 1S.-[Special Berlin Ca
BILE Letter, copyrighted. 1895, by the
Associated Press. Things are once
more in a chaotic condition in Ger
many. The two chief government
bills, the anti-revolution bill and to-
bacco tax measure, have been crush
ingly defeated, and there is no talk
of substitute 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 sub
jects of Importance and the existing
situation cannot endure. The iatters
position is so shaken that his term of
office may end at any moment. Prince
Hohenlohe, who has been much Wor-
ried for months past, offered his resig-
nation Immediately after the defeat of
the anti-revOlution bill but he was
persuaded to remain in office on the
urgent solicitations of the emperor and
his own family. Herr Won Koeller's
handling of the anti-revolution bill is
condemned on all sides, but he has dis
played a total disregard of their dis
satisfaction and, in fact, strongly
urged before the council of state the
Introduction of another anti-revolution
bill, directed particularly at Socialists.
Fight IL Futile.
Prince Hohenlohe quietly disproved
his arguments and showed the fulfil
1ty of continuing the fight in the
present reichstag. The chancellor was
supported in this contention by DR..
MIGUEL, the minister of finance, Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein, the min
lister for foreign affairs, and DR.. Won
Boettischer, 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 result that
no new anti-revolution bill or labor
tobacco tax bill will be introduced,
and an early close of the reichstag
session is therefore expected. Accord
ing to the anticipations the reichstag
will adjourn at the end Of the month.
Members of the Centre party today
a. motion in the lower house
of the Prussian diet for the restora-
ton of the clause in relation to the
Christian church, repealed in 1868, but
only the Poles supported If. The
speakers of the remainder of the par
ties declared themselves in opposition
to the motion and declined to enter
into its discussion. Therefore the bill
was put to a vote aud was rejected.
Petroleum is Dear.
Owing to the increased price of pc |
troleum inventors are busy through
put Germany trying to discover substi- /
tutes for petroleum, and one new lamp |
N which raw alcohol is used to feed an |
lamp is being tested with |
he view of replacing the petroleum.
Emperor William personally witnessed /
series of experiments with this lamp /
1t the new palace at Potsdam, and /
pronounced the apparatus to be calcu-
ated to achieve the desired result. He
ilso expressed the hope that it would /
become the lamp Of the poor, being
both cheap and better than the petro-
cum lamp.
