tag and the diet adjourned for the
Whitsuntide holidays. In the diet the
court reform bill will be again dis
instated the much discussed assessor
paragram after the unterhaus had re-
jected it. The latter, however, will
again refuse to accept should it again
come back. Regarding the reichstag,
the government desires the adoption of
the civil code before the adjournment,
even if the session is thereby prolonged
to the summer
One of the first matters for discus
sion in the reichstag after the vaca-
ton will be the question introduced by
the socialists and radicals regarding
the advisability of thoroughly chang
ing the law of association which dated
from 1851 and is utterly antiquated
Herren Rebel and Auer have secured
mass of evidence showing that every
political party represented in the reich
stag, including the Conservatives, has
been guilty of breaches of the law un-
der the provisions OF which the social
list leaders
WERE CONVICTED ON MONDAY
and thus hope to force the reichstag
to aid in abolishing the existing law.
It is generally admitted that the gov
eminent made serious blunder in
prosecuting the socialist leaders for
doing precisely what all socialists have
done without interference. The Vor-
warets says: 'All parties must now
have their eyes opened to the fact that
it is ITO their interest to wipe out this
obnoxious lcw"
The Vossische Zeitung remarks:
This trial began with so much noise
ENDS with filming the socialists 800
marks. 1t was we'll worth this sum to
the socialists to have the trial brought
into discussion in the reichstag."
Herr Rebels opinion. expressed af-
ter the trial was: When the anti
socialist laws We're in force 1 attended
A GREAT MANY TRIALS.
sometimes as the accused and some
times as a witness. But never in my
experience has the political policy
suffered such a crushing moral de-
feat
Prince Hohenlohe's statement in the
reichstag on Monday pledging himself
TO reform the military courts procedure
based on modern, legal principles was
made with the consent of the emperor
A high court official says: His majes-
~ has now become firmly convinced
that reform is urgently needed, though
He insists upon framing the new law
so as not to impair the army discipline.
The emperor intends to make the
fourth battalion as effective as the
three battalions without placing addi-
vional burdens upon the nation"
Z ministerial decree has been issued
abridging the constitutional right of
petitioning the government. so far as
the entire army of government officials
is concerned, and making it
A PUNISHABLE OFFENSE
TO petition the government on public
measures unless the petitioning Off
Gals take the same view as the gov
eminent AS a result intense indigna-
tion prevails among the whole BODY
OF government officials as the decree
curtails their political privileges and
protests are being made on all sides.
Colonel Won Liebst of Frankfort-on-
the-Eder was offered months ago the
position of reorganizer of the Chinese
army. The negotiations then COLLAPSED.
as Colonel Liebst wanted greater free
dom in the choice of his assistants
but 1t is now learned that after the
Moscow fetes Lii Hung Chang will per
sonally discuss the matter with Colo
mel ven Liebst. who is a great author
ity upon military technique. If the
colonel then accepts he will be an
pointed general-issimo of the Chinese
army.
While in Germany Ii Hung Chang
intends TO visit the Krupp works at
Essen, where he will place orders for
guns, etc. The Chinese statesman will
also visit Prince Bismarck.
THERE IS MUCH COMMENT
on the fact that the representatives
of the Cologne Gazette, hitherto the
most influential of the semi-official pa
Ders, have been forbidden access to
the royal castles and court by order
of the emperor, who is incensed at
certain attacks on his personal entour-
age. The Cologne Gazette is now in
the curious position of being directly
and indirectly inspired by the Hohen-
Lobe cabinet, and yet placed upon the |
blacklist by the emperor.
