cERMANY'S GAG LAWS DEFEAT
GREAT REJOICING OVER THE ANTI.
SOCIALIST BILL.

The Ministry Not to Retire From Of
fec on Account of the Defeat of the
Measure-The Reichstag Not 20 BE
dissolved Until the Emperor Feels
That He Can Count on Securing "a
Majority in sympathy With His
Views.
Berlin. May 12.-Reports from the va
rious provinces. especially those in South
Germany, show the national joy over the
rejection by the Reichstag Of the anti
revolution bill. Inquiries made by the
representatives of the United Press show
that the government does not intend to
retire from office because of the rejection
of the measure. The ministry considers
that it has done its duty in showing the
emperor what the representatives Of the
people think of his Invitation to unite in
defense of religion, order and the mon
archy against revolution. D issolution Of
the Reichstag is not likely, owing to the
hostile feeling of the electors. Neverthe-
less. the Augusburger Post-Zeitung the
chief organ of the southern centrsts
saws that a favorable occasion will be
seized TO dissolve the house and get a
new Reichstag with a conservative and
national liberal majority, which will re-
wise the manhood and secret suffrage
laws. 1t adds that if a Carter majority
shall not be returned a suspension of the
constitution will be sure to follow and
combined attempt will be made to level
all those standing in the way of easier
official ruling.
Or. Miguel, the Prussian minister of
finance, had ordered the customs authori-
ties to fine all importers OF American lard
who falsely declare that their imports
are intended to be used in the manufac-
ture of sausages. thus attempting to save
duty the duty on lard for this purpose
being lower than on that intended for
other uses. The government is greatly
satisfied with the success which the pres
sure brought to bear on Japan to prevent
the annexation Of the Lao Tung PENN
sula.
The official press is eloquent on the re-
moyal Of the serious anXieties that would
nave arisen IN regard to the peaceful de-
Nelopment OF the east with the ultimate
scramble OF the powers 10 divide China
among themselves, but it Is no secret
that the chief joy is in having, as it is
believed, materially improved the relations
OF Germany with Russia while at the
same time neutralizing the effect that
FRANCES support might have had in
Strengthening her bonds with Russia.
The Post jubilantly eXclaims that il is
entirely satisfied with this first sample
OF Germany action as a world power in
East Asia. Whether this optimism will
prove to be justified by any immediate
solid advantage to Germany, the hope that

however, that the next loan that will oc-

10 negotiate in order to pay the indemnity
TO Japan and for other purposes. 1t Is
