BERLIN, April 20.-The wheel of
parliament politics will resume active
work on Tuesday next when the
reichStag re-assembles with a big
programme before it, including
amendments to and changes in the
tariff law, the socialist bill defining
and enlarging the rights of associa-
ton and coalition and plenary dis
cussien of the anti-revolution bill.
The measure last referred to is the
bugbear OF the liberals, radicals and
socialists, and has been rendered
even. more stringent in committee by
the members of the center party who
are jangiing for the repeal. of the
anti-Jesuit laws. The clerical pro-
poSals, however, in some respects,
out-Herod Herod and the government
hesitates to accept them, fearing to
over-step the mark and further in
tensify resentment. The national
liberals, who at first favored the bill,
are now disguised with the reaction
airy character it is assuming and have
deserted to the side of its opponents.
Thus, its adoption depends entirely
upon the support of the center party,
the members of which demand that
the bill be passed as they shaped it
or not at all. The conservatives,
however, declare they will not con-
sent to place German protestant
ism under the heel Of its hereditary
enemies. The government is thus
IN A DILEMMA
for if it refuses the demands of the
center party, the anti-revolution bill
is certain to be rejected, while, if it
consents to the demands Of the CEN
triStS, the government will ALLEVIATE
its conservative supports. AS solu-
tion of the situation those who fear
both clerical reaction and socialist
encroachments appeal to the emperor
to personally intervene as e did in
the case of the withdrawal of the Zed-
litz education bill in 1892 and bring
about the withdrawal of the anti
revolution bill Such Interpretation,
however, will be unconstitutional,
as in the case Of an imperial measure
the bundeSrath alone has this power.
The dispute between Great Brit
ain and Nicaragua is being watched
here and the opinion of those COM
petent to pronounce an opinion upon
the matter is decidedly against allow
ing. Nicaragua to get off too cheaply
Moreover. the idea OF Intervention
upon the part of the United States is
not received here with enthusiasm.
The Vossische Zeitung commenting
on the situation says: England rep
resents not only British but Eu-
ropean interests. The Central Amer
lean republics have been guilty of
repeated acts of :awlessness against
foreigners and they deserve to be
taught a salutary lesson. If the
United States claims to extend the
application of the Monroe doctrine
to these unruly neighbors, they must
also undertake to hear the response

national obligations"
THE TREATY OF PEACE
between China and Japan is unfa-
vorably criticised in leading politi-
cal circles, and the sending of two
additional war ships, the Kaiser
and the Prince Wilhelm, to the far
East, is generally approved. The
