BERLIN, Dec. 12-The revelations Of the
Luetzow trial and the arrest of Baron vor
Tausch. the commissioner of detectives, are
having unmagined consequences, one OF
which 10 that the police system, as organ.
lied under Won Puttkamer and perfected
under Zu Gutenberg and Won Koeller, will
be either modified or abolished. The cabinet
has held daily sessions during the week
celebrating a plan for bringing about one oil
other of these results. The emperor, since
his return from Hanover and Buckenberg
has conferred with Count Zu Gutenberg
Police Chief Windheim, Prince Won Hohen-
lohe and Baron Marschal Won Berberstein
and it is reported in court circles that his
majesty is in no way satisfied with the
bold public way in which Hohenlohe and
Baron Marschal unearthed in court the police
espionage, whereof they have been the vic
Tins for years, believing the exposure will
prejudice the house authority and German
influence abroad. A scene between the en-
percr and Baron Marschal at the new palace
is reported to have been animated. 1t is
even claimed by some of the emperor's en-
tourage that the minister for foreign affairs
rendered his resignation. which the emperor
certain, however the court clique 10 hostile
to Baron Marschal, and Prince Hohenlohe,
with Count Zu Gutenberg is again in the as
cendant and unexpected developments may
be looked for at any moment. 1t Is signil-
cant that his majesty conferred with every
body on the recent events before he con-
suited with Prince Hohenlohe and Baron
Marschal. The emperor is convinced of the
necessity of overhauling the detective serv-
ice. 1t appears Won Tausch has powerful
and influential hackers. His trial has been
fixed for three weeks hence and it is not
doubted that it will develop new and sen
sational facts.
= 1t is interesting to note that Count Her
bert Bismarck visited his father this week
and the next day the Hamburger Nachrich-
ten came out with an urgent demand that
the hackers and patrons Of Won Tausch be
unearthed and punished.
BEBEL HAS A TALE TO TELL.
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader, has an
nounced that at mass meeting next Tues
day he is going to make interesting reyela-
tions regarding the supporters Of Won
Tausch. The socialists intend to move in
the Reichstag to eliminate from the criminal
code the so-called spy paragraphs. One OF
the most sensational articles of the week ap-
peared in the Vorwarts, the socialist organ.
II was entitled Signs of the Times" and
in it the rottenness Of German political life
was exposed and compared with ante-revo-
lutionary epochs in France. The Eulenbergs,
Count Won Waldersee and the Bismarcks are
openly charged with having prompted Won
Tausch in his past doings. Five hundred
thousand copies of the Vorwarts were sold
on Tuesday before Won Dorse, its editor,
was arrested in the streets The remaining
copies of the edition were confiscateI. The
Vorwarts will be prosecuted for slander.
Nearly all the German papers strongly
condemn the police system and agree that
further disclosures are imminent
President Clevelands proclamation restor-
ing tonnage dues has caused a great stir in
government circles, where 1t is violently con-
demned. 1t is believed that Germany's re-
monstrances will lead to their withdrawal,
The Kreuz Zetung says: "As matter of
fact we have many more grudges against
the Americans than they have against us,
for it is an established fact that German
sugar pays America more than the treaty
regulations fix. This Is not even denied by
the Americans and that alone would enable
us to retalate by some such measure. In
fact, It is indispensable If the United StateR
loads our ships with duties such as are not
imposed by European countries. Cereals,
cotton, butter, apples, and especially meats,
are all open to retalatory treatment on cur
side. Americans need US more than we need
them, though we do not deny they are good
customers Of our manufacturers. But II what
is slid Of McKinley's intentions proves true
the Yankees themselves will rid us Of any
remaining scruples. AS Mckinley is only
the tool of the great monopoists, we may
know what to expect" The other agrarian
and conservative newspapers, such as the
Tagllsche Rundschau and Deutsche Zeitung
print editorial articles OF like tenor.
AID FOR HAMBURG STRIKERS.
Big collections have been made here in be-
half Of the Hamburg strikers The sum Of
1863 900 marks was collected in one day here
for their use. The socialists hsve called six
huge mass meetings for Tuesday to express
their sympathy with the strikers. The meet
ings will be addressed by the socialist mem
bers of the Reichstag. There have been
number Of eXcesses during the strike at
Hamburg and numerous arrests have been
made. The strikers, however, are now weak
ening and at their meetings today there was
a strong feeling in favor of peace negotia-
tons They appear inclined to patch up
their Disputes as II is stated that In spite
Of the large sums Of money collected for
them, their funds are running out. The
meetings today adopted resolutions In favor
of coming to an agreement with the employ
ers and a conference is to be held to decide
upon the composition a a board of concia-
tion The strikers insist that they do not
desire supremacy and claim they only wish
to settle the question Of wages and the ends
Of labor They deny also that they intend, If
peace IL concluded to start new strike az
Doon as possible
The ice In the German north rivers IL
already very thick and navigation has been
entirely stopped except In cle Baltic canal,
which thus far has not been frozen.
