Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE socialist conven-
ton at Bresiau has been followed by
the general public with a great deal
more interest than was the case at the
convention OF 1894 at Frankfort. The
warring elements within the socialist
party have been sharply arrayed against
each other. The younger. more prac-
tical and moderate wing OF the party,
though two OF It's ablest leaders. Her
ren voimar and Grillenberger. were
absent through I'll health, displayed
great strength. The convention was
In accordance with the special instruc-
t!ons issued by Herr Won Koeller. the
Pruss.an minister OF the Interior. and
was under severe police supervision.
Consequently the noisy party demon
strations which had been planned
could not be carried out. A number Of
foreign delegates. especially the Aus
TRAN delegate. DR.. Ellenberg. were ex-
PEELED by the police on the ground that
they were obnoxious foreigners. A
sensational feature OF the convention
was the presence Of the Duchess Paul
Inc Msthilda OF Wurtemburg. now the
wife OF wealthy physician OF Bres-
lau. named willlm. This lady. who is
decidedly eccentric. was attlred In a
flaming red blouse and she manifested
her intense socialism by frequently ap-
plauding the most excited utterances
OF the speakers. to demonstrate. ap-
parently. that she was In hearty sym
pathy with the most radical remarks
and propositions made.

The Prusslan cabinet held a meeting
which lasted four hours on Wednesday
last and discussed the Intended modl-
flea ation Of the Prussian association law
which Herr Won Koeller has been
working at for some time past. II is
understood thar the ministers came to
the decision that he should submit his
project for approval at a meeting Of
the cabinet to be held next week. en-

to hinder the further growth and spread
OF socialism In Prussia. It will be the
only attempt at anhi-socialist legisla-
ton which WIN be made during the
coming winter, and It Is confidently ex-
pected that the bin will pass the Prus-
sian diet.
The question of sugar bounties Is
again under discussion. international
negotiations for the abolition Of the
export premium on beet sugar are be-
Ing vigorously pushed and II Is hoped
that France and Austria will agree 10
this proposition. II the negotiations
fail. a reorganization OF German sugar
legislation Is contemplated.
