reichstag this week owing to the fierce
heat. less than thirty members being
present at Its opening, and there is lit
tie prospect, in spite of the emperors
expressed wish, that the civil code will
be adopted before the reichstag ad-
journs.
During the remainder of the session
the Centrists intend to introduce and
rush through a resolution to readmit
the Jesuits into Germany. But though
its adoption by the reichstag is certain,
the bundesrath will reject it. In the
Hesse diet similar bill was defeated on
Tuesday by four votes.
The bundesrath will also reject the
association reform bill which was passed
by the reichstag on Wednesday. al
though popular opinion throughout Ger
many Is in favor of the measure.
The large sum Of money spent upon
the governments representation at the
Moscow ceremonies and feteS was Sc
verely criticised in the reichstag on
Tuesday, even by the orthodox Centrist
leader Count Won Limburg- Stirum.
The bundesrath Is now considering a
measure providing for the transport Of
convicted and discharged criminals to
German colonies in Africa and especial
ly to the Southwest Africa, where the
former are to be employed in railroad
building and other public works. Prus-
sia alone spends 26,000 900 marks yearly
on prisons.

of the amnesty decree by the Socialist
organ, Vorwaerts. has induced the war
department to make provisions to estab-
lish it's own printing office.

to the field maneuvers of the Gard du
t,, H. yfo init of Cr,o md

up by the emperor himself. Night cav

His majesty has ordered the whole of
the Berlin garrison to visit the Berlin
exposition at his expense.
Fritz Friedman, the well known law
yer, whose absconding from Berlin
caused such a sensation at the time,
has since his arrival at Berlin jail, after
having been extradited from France,
sent orders to his Paris publisher, Ollen-
dorf. to eliminate certain passages from
his book on the Won Kotze scandals or
else to refrain from publishing the WORK
until after his trial.

the projected revision of the American

stance of the German government Is

Policeman Doehrman of Stegliez has
been promoted and rewarded with mon

There is much dissatisfaction in Off
cial circles as to the results of the Mos
COW celebrations and the lack of atten-
tion paid to Prince Henry Of Prussia
(who represented William at the czar's
coronation) and the facts given at the
German embassy, combined with the ap-
parently undisturbed Franco Russian
determination are cited in support Of
this feeling of discomfort. Emperor
