Bkki.in, Dec. - The political situa
tion continues grave. There is a lull
for tho moment, but the prospect ie,
at the reconvening of the reichstag,
the difference between the government
and parliament, which only began to be
defined when the Socialists and Radi
cals, by the clever maneuvering of Herr
Singer, precipitated an adjournment,
will assume the chaiacter of a real con
flict.
Yon Levetzow. president of the reich
rtag, has wholly antagonized himself,
with the government. Thus the abelv
ing of tbe anti-revolution bills was also
a rebuff to him and he showed his die
pleasure in rather a childish way by
not observing tne usual custom of wish
ing the members of tbe reicbntug a
merry Gbristmaß and a happy New
Year, replacing those wishes by an ex
pression of tbe hope that the nation and
the reichstag would be spared in the
New Year tbe discreditable spectacle of
such a miserable attendance. In fact,
Yon Levetzow felt the matter co keenly
that be *ac duly prepared to
resign last Monday and he was
, with difficulty restrained from carrying
out hia intention by the Conservatives,
who pointed out to him that by resign
ing he would but further embarrass the
government. Un the top of these re
buffs on the part of the government
comes the premature announcement of
Uohenlohe's salary affair.
A KICK ABOUT SALARY
It is known in spite of the half
hearted denials of the official press that
Hobeniohe mentioned to ths emperor
the great discrepancy between hie pre
vious salary as governor of Alsace-Lor
raine and hia present salary as chancel
lor of the German empire. The em
peror thereupon offered to make good
the deficiency from the co-called dis
position fund. This projected arrange
ment was little less than a ecauda), as
the fund referred to is granted to tbe
emperor by the reichstag for a
very dissimilar purpose, namely, to
assist veterans of the wars who are not
otherwise provided for. The fund
amounts to 3,000,000 marks annually.
Prince Hohenlohe accepted tbe offer, as
admitted by his own organ, the Post, but
he was induced to withdraw bis accept
ance of tbe addition to his salary by the
violent agitation which was started by
tne oppoaition preas immediately after
ths facte leaked oat. The matter, how*
ever, will not be allowed to drop alto
gether, for the Socialists declare their
intention to question the government on
this subject in the reichstag.
Emperon William naturally is very
angry about the affair, which be deems
HUNTINGTON'S MENAGERIE.
_to lie n apccial interference of his pre
rogative arid the manner in which the
reichetag is treating hie pet, measure is
i" t cilchlnted to diminish his ire.
Things, in brief, hingo on tbe fate ol
the anli-rovolntionary bill. Withont
counting' the Centrista, the government
can only rely on about 175 votes, wbich
ia 24 leas than a majority. Thus, in
order to pass the bill, the government
needs to gain the snpport of the (Jentre
party, and the iatter. knowing the value
ol ita position, is little disposed to show
lamb-like obedience to thegovernment's
wishes. On the contrary, the members
of the Centre party have already formu
lated their demands nnd unless thene
I are conceded their support is extremely
doubtful.
Tin; ANTI-RKVOI.UTIONARY bill.
According to tbe Centrißt organs, the
Gerinania and Kolnieche Yolks Xei
tung. paragraphs ];J0 and 181 of the
cuti-revolutionary bill require to be re
j vised, and what is more important to
j the Centrists, the recall of the Jesuits
ito Germany mast be granted. As al
ready stated, the anti-revolutionary bill
ie re'illy an amendment of tbe existing
criminal coda of tlie empire.
Section 130 of the criminal code retde :
"Whoever publicly and in a manner
dangerous to the public peace incites
different classes of the population to
acts of violence against each otiier is
punishable by a fine not eiceeding 600
murks, or with imprisonment not ex
ceeding two years."
To this the anti-revolutionary bill
would add: "The same punishment
m»y be inilicted on any one who in a
manner dangerous to the public peace,
publiciv attacks religion, the monarchy,
the marriage, tho iarnily or property
Witb expressions of abuse."
Section 131 iv the criminal code now
reads: "Whoever publicly disseminates
invented or distorted facte, knowing
they "are iuvented or distorted, having
in view to render contemptible institu
tions of the Btate or decrees of authori
ties, ia punishable with a fine not ex
ceeding 000 marks or with imprison
ment not exceeding two years."
The anti-revoliitionary bill would
make section 131 read: "Whoeverpub
licly asserts or dieeenainatee invented or
distorted facte of which he knows or ac
cording to tbe circumstances must con
clude, that they are invented or dis
torted, iiaving in view to render con
temptible institutions of trie state or de
crees of tbe authorities ia punishable
with a fine not exceeding 600 marks
($150) or with imprisonment not ex
ceeding two years."
AN ELASTIC SECTION.
The addition to eeotion 130, given
above, forma one of tbe cardinal points
of the bill and one over which it ia ex
pected the controversy will rage with
the greatest fury. It is termed an "in
dia rubber paragraph" and ia ao elastic
that it can be stretched at will by the
executive. The amendment to eection
181 ia directed against the press and haa
therefore attracted a greater stiare of at
tention from tbe Garman newapapera '
than the rest of the law. It is claimed
tbat under its provisions the newspa
pers, organs of all parties alike, would
be conatantly expoßed to prosecutions if
the amendment is enacted-. Comment
ing on this subject, the Voßßische Zai
tong briefly called attention to an in
stance in which an editor was con
demned to two years' imprisonment for
publishing bis belief that the
policy of the government wonld
involve an increase of 200 marks
imperial taxation. The newspaper
reierred to claima that before the
editor had been mauy inonthß in
prison hia prediction was far more than
realized; but tbe government never
TWENTY PAGES. PRICE FIVE CENTS.
dreamed of milking reparation. Nego
tiations with tbe Centrists with the
view of revising these two sections ol
the bill are proceeding and will con
tinue through the holidays, and the
government hopes to effect an entente
on that question, as well as on that
recalling tha Jesuits to Germany.
THE TOBACCO TAX BILL.
The nosition of the government re
garding the tobacco tax bill, the second
important government measure, is pre
cisely similar to it in regard to the anti
revolutionary bill. The Centrists hold
ing the balance of power may be able to
dictate tnrtber terms for themselves. In
the meantime signs of estrangement be
tween the emperor and the South Ger
man oocrts are not missing.
This week, for instance, an article
appeared in the influential Nenste
Nachrichten of Munich, declaring that
the South Germans had been em
bittered by many thiogß, but especially
because of the artitioal chasm created
between ths emperor and the people.
Through, again. Prince Arnulph of Ba
varia, lieutenant general of the first di
vision of infantry of the Bavarian army
and tbe son of the regent of Bavaria,
I'rince I.uitpold Ims dccl ired that he was
not willing to congratulate Kmperor
William on New Year's day, as has been
tii9 wont. It is also noticed that the
newspapersof Wurtembcrg openly com
ment on the iriction between the line of
Wurteinburg and the emperor, and the
newspapers of Baden conttiu guarded re
msrka upon the same subject.
All this tends to show that the ap
pointment of special envoys to the
courts of Munich, 8 uttgart and Oarls
ruhe make more than tbe oflicial press
was willing to admit, aud also that
Prince Hohenlohe's mission to these
courts completely failed.

—If the judgment of the most intelligent
and broad-minded people of tbe Japa
nese community eontd be openly ex
pressed, it would be found already fa
vorable to negotiations for peace. The
majority of the ministers of state are
thoroughly persuaded tbat no time is
likely to be more propitious than tbe
present for a .'settlement tbat shall ae
cive tha greater material advantages to
their country, and at-the same time
guarantee entire security for tbe future.
They believe that additional victories
may have the effect of wringing exten
sive territorial concessions from their
conquered adversary, but tbey doubt
the wisdom of assuming respon
sibilities of continental odminiatration
which may prove more burdensome
than Japan can bear. Their conviction
is more than shared by the leaders of
intellectual and educational progreee.
But the military and naval elements,
supported by the mass oi the people,
are for the moment too powerful to ba
resisted.
JOURNALS WITHOUT COURAGE.
No newspaper has yet the courage to
bint at a suspension of hostilities, bat
the government is not prepared to
stand against euch a storm of opposi
tion as would be provoked by a direct
declaration of opinion that the punish
ment and humiliation of China have
gone far enough. In fact, tne govern
ment is not united on this point. The
militant ministers, although in tbe
minority, are vehement in their protes
tations that the invasion moat be
pushed far beyond the present lines
aud the terror of the Japanese arms be
extended throughout the Chinese do
minions. Many of those who nrge the
necessity of prolonging the conteat do
co with a sincere belief tbat the results
which Japan rightly and juetly aims at
cannot be oiherwiae attained; but there
are also many who are animated solely
hy personal ambition—whose jealousy
is excitei by tbe successes achieved by
land and sea and who long for oppor
tunities of making their names famous.
Ihey are not without influence, having
rendered eminent service in former pe
rmits of national trouble, and to have
means of eecuring attention to their
claims in the very highest quarters.
I'EACE DESIRED.
All theae things conaidered, the gov
ernment does not think that affairs have
arrived at a stage when it would be «x»
pedtent to manifest a willingness to lis
ten to snch proposals ac China ia dis
posed to offer. But it ia something, to
