Demonstration.
A XOIE OF WARX1KG SEST TO BUSSU
Emperor "William is likely to find some
opposition in the German Legislature to his
many pet schemes. Both the Reichstag
and the Bnndesrath are opposed to an exten
sion of the imperial power, and the oppo
sition is only awaiting the announcement of
the Emperor's policy to form in battle
array against it.
COPTB1GHT, IS90; BY TB E NEW TOBK ASSOCIATED
PRESS. 1
Berlin, April 12. Immediately on his
return lrom "VYeisbaden Emperor "William
will hold a prolonged conference with the
heads of the various departments, Chancel
lor von Caprivi, Baron von Berlepsch and
Baron von Bieberstein successively. It is
reported to be the determination of the Em
peror to exercise a rigid personal scrutiny
over every measure. Besides overloading
himself with work he in the meantime
threatens to paralyze Ministerial work.
None of the bills based on the decisions of
the labor conference, as reported by
Baron von Berlepshe, has received the final
imperial sanction. Tne assent of the
Bnndesrath to the measures is doubtful.
The Federal Governments do not share the '
Emperor's eager haste for reforms. The
prospect is, therefore, that when the Em
peror opens the Reichstag, in his speech
lrom the throne announcing the labor meas
ures he will speak without the quality of
definiteness which characterized the an
nouncements UNDER THE BISMARCK REGIME.
Beyond the pregnant fact that the Reichs
tag will be asked to grant a militarv credit
ot probably 80,000,000 marks, nothing is
known ot "the Government's programme.
The Progressist press indulges in visions of
a change in the tariff policy, a reduction of
the duties on cereals and progressive modi
, fjcations of the customs as to abolish the
taxation of the articles that are absolutely
necessary for the use of the people and an
adaptation of the tariffs to develop the
industries of the country
It is not believed in official circles that
tie Emperor will be rash enough to entangle
himself iu the difficulties entailed by a re
vision of the tariffs which would involve
complete reforms in the whole financial and
fiscal system of the empire. Equally dis
credited are the rumors that the Emperor
intends to propose a revision of the constitu
tion in the direction of a reduction of the
powers of the Bnndesrath, while centralizing
power in the hands of a ministry controlled
by the Emperor.
TRTING TO CLIP HIS "WINGS.
Neither the Beicnstag northe Bnndesrath
will ever assent to an extension of the Im
perial powers toward absolutism. Already
the leading Federal princes of the empire,
incredulous-of the Emperor's capacity and
scared by his methods of governing, are try
ing to tone down his self confidence. It
is an open secret that the Governments
of Bavaria, AVurtemburg and Saxonv,
which hold 14 votes in the Bnndesrath, will
not co-operate in Imperial measures unless
the Emperor consults them more on the gen
eral lines of his policv.
To-night the JJeicfcsanzetffer has a curt
significant declaimer ot the reported reor
ganization of the Central Ministerial de
partments. It is denied that the Govern
ment contemplated increasing the responsi
bility of the Ministers. The temper of the
leading Federal Governments, the article
says, would not brook anv discussion of the
subject. This made an official denial of the
.report necessary.
BATTLE LINES NOT YET FOBMED.
The Reichstag will meet with the various
parties undetermined, awaiting the efiect of
the Government programme before group
ing themselves. The official record of the
composition of the Reichstag after the
second ballots is as follows: Conservatives,
72; Imperialists, 19; National Liberals, 43;
Freissinnige, 67; CenterisU, 107; Socialist,
55; Volksparte, 10; Poles, 16; Gnelphs, 11;
Reichslanders, 10; Anti-Semitics, 5; Dane,
1; No partv. L
One of the chief features of the moment j
is the disunion among the Freissinnige
party since Freissinnige members ol the
Landtag cenured the leadership of Herr
Richtrr as dictatorial and inelastic The
quarrel has wideped. Herr Bichter now
leads a section of the party in a basic policy
of pure opposition to the Conservative Gov
ernment Herren Laenl and Bickert,
backed by an important faction, would
coalesce with the advanced Nationals or
even co-operate with the Government on
liberal proposals. In the face of the ex
pected coalition with the Conservatives the
Imperialists and the right wing of the
National Liberals are forming a reactionary
group against a liberal policy by the Gov
ernment. The Freissinuge party will be
compelled to close their ranks.
A SOCIALISTIC SQUABBLE.
The Socialist leaders have a momentary
fend over the workmen's proposed celebra
tion on May 1. Herr Liebknerht anil Herr
Bebel will attend a reunion of the delegates
to-morrow to urge the unwisdom of making
a manifestation. Herren Gnllberger, Voll
marand Schippel support the celebration.
Herr Liebknecht is backed by the police,
who have given warning that they will not
tolerate street demonstrations.
The Post announces that the military bill
will provide for a large increase in the
number of troops. The announcement
agrees with opinion held in official circles
that the Emperor will abide by a strong
foreign policy. The chief subject of the
recent conferences of commanding renerals,
which were presided over by the Emperor,
was the reorganization of the reserves and
Landwehr with a view to strengthening
them.
The Peslher Lloyd, in an official com
munication alluding to the concentration of
150.000 (Russian troops on the Austrian
frontier, says it rejoices in the formal re
newal of the triple alliance, and warns
Bussia that the allied powers will not
much longer submit to continued provoca
tion. A NOTE OF -WARNING.
According to the same paper Chancellor
ton" Caprivi's note to Prime Minister
Kalnoky reaffirming the alliance, did not
admit an identity of interests in Eastern
Europe. Austria will have a free hand in
the Balkans, and act on her own responsi
bility. The accord with Italy is equally
perfect, although the alliance has been
weakened through the uncertain position of
Bignor Crispi.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Phelps,
the United States Minister, SirF. B. Malet,
the British Ambassador, and Marshal Yon
Bieberstein, German Imperial Foreign Sec
retary, met at the ForeignOSce and each
deposited a lormal ratification ot the Samoan
treaty and signed the final protocol.
Court advices from St Petersburg are
that a movement inlavorofa constitution
finds adherents in the Czar's circlet The
Grand Duke Vladimir, the Czar's brother,
induced less by Liberalism than by lean of
a revolution, heads a ministerial .section
that is urging the Czar to create a parlia
ment consisting ot representatives of the
nobility, elected by the Zeemitvos, with a
limited" number of delegates elected by
towns,

crop of the present season are much better
than those of last year. A 12 to 14 anna
crop may be expected from the whole

outturn will be larger, the requirements for
local consumption will, owing to a good
rice harvest, be less than those of the

to Agree on a Measure
THAT WILL PLEASE EVERYBODY.
Their Efforts Have Kot Met With
Great Success as let.
Terj
WISDOM'S IDEAS UPON THE SUBJECT
Are Badiexlly Opposed to Those ef the Western
Enthusiasts.
The Bepublican Congressional Caucus
Committee is endeavoring to decide upon a
silver bill. Secretary "Windom has been
consulted and has agreed to accept a com
promise. The free roinage adherents, how
ever, are by no means satisfied with the pro
posed measure.
"Washington, April 12. The Bepubli
can Caucus Committee having under con
sideration the question of legislation on the
silver question, had another meeting to-day
and is still in session. The whole subject
is being thoroughly discussed by the mem
bers, with a view of arriving at some com
mon ground upon which all can stand.
It is not expected that a vote will be taken
on any proposition to-day, but that another
meeting will be held some time during Sun
day or Monday before the meeting of the Be
publican caucus on Monday night. Secretary
Windom was before the committee to-day
by invitation, and his views sought on the
subject
windom as an adviser
Secretary "Windom remained, with the
committee about two hours and engaged in
the discussion. He was not disposed to in
sist upon the terms of his original bill, but
expressed himself as willing to accept the
terms ot the measure reported by the. House
committee.
No vote was taken on any proposition
and no conclusion has been reached. The
entire time was consumed in discussion.
The delay in arriving at an agreement ap
pears to tie caused by the insistence of the
extreme silver men upon absolute free
coinage. The conservative element favors
the House bill, and there is a leaven of
restrictive feeling at work.
A Bection of the House bill which is par
ticularly attacked by the silver men is that
making the treasury notes issued in pay
ment for bullion redeemable in bullion.
They argued that the effect of this, section
would be to pile up bullion in the treasury
and to give some warrant for the demand of
a radical farmers' element for great govern
ment warehouses in which their agricul
tural products may be stored and Govern
ment notes issued thereon.
THE SECRETARY FIRM.
On this point Secretary "Windom content
ed himself with reiterating his preference for
the House committee provision. And he also
expressed regret tbat the committee had
stricken out of his bill the provision giving
him discretionary authority to suspend
bullion purchases.
The members of the Senate Bepublican
Silver Committee have not had a meeting
since Thursday night, and the indications
are they will not until the House caucus
announces its conclusion unon the subject.
The committee consists of Senators Morrill,
Allison, Aldrich, Sherman, Jones and
Hiscock, the six Bepublican members of
the Committee on Finance, and Senators
Davis, Mitchell, McMillan, Manderson,
Piatt, Peirce and Teller.
The silver men on this committee are con
tending for free coinage of bullion produced
in the United States and of Mexican ores
smelted in United States refineries. They
say the silver produced in United States
and Mexico ns shown by the statistics of the
Treasury Department is 57,000,000 ounces
annually, all but 7,000,000 ounces being
native production.
THE SILVER CLAIM.
This entire amount, they claim, is not as
great at present values as the Secretary of
the Treasury is required to purchase by the
terms of the Jones bill. That bill requires
the purchase monthly of silver bullion of
the value of 4,500,000. But they admit
that the efiect of the passage of the bill
would be to increase the value of silver.
In case they are unable to secure any
thing from the committee more favorable to
tbem than the terms of the Jones bill, the
silver men will insist on a substantial in
crease of the paper currency of the country.
There are several suggestions before the
committee respecting this point.
INDIANS IN THE AEJII.
Secretary Proctor Wants a Thousand of
Tbem In a Separate Keglment.
"WASHpGTOir, April 12. Secretary
Proctor has submitted to the Interior De
partment officials a proposition to enlist
1,000 Indians into the regular army. It is
proposed to officer the regiment with gradu
ates from "West Point, the subordinate grades
to be filled by pupils who have been edu
cated at Eastern military schools.
The details of the plan have not as vet
been fully matured, but it is the opinion of
Secretary Proctor that the Indians can be re
ceived into the regular army in a separate
regiment both to their own advantage and
that of the Government.

rSFECIAL TILIQBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Bedford, Pa., April 12. George Boor,
one of the leading farmers of Cumberland
Valley township, had an exciting encounter
with a horse thief last night. Mr. Boor.
was awakened by his dogs about 12 o'clock,

investigate the uproar. On nearing his
barn he heard the sound of horses traveling,
and opening the barn door found his best
horse was missing, Be at once jumped on
another horse and started in pursuit of the
thief.
After a mile of hard riding he came
within gunshot of the the thief and opened
fire, bnt still the thief kept on riding, as he
now was, for his life. The farmer kept up
pursuit until within 20 feet, when, he
opened fire again. As the thief was getting
in close quarters and his horse was winded,
he le.t his horse and brdke for the woods.
As he did so Mr. Boor fired for the third
time; this time he heard groans from the
thief as if he'bad wounded him. Being out
of ammunition the farmer did not follow
him into the woods, but captured his stolen
horses and returned home.
A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
Prof. Do Trevllle's Attnck Upon
Prof.
Cordozn. Strongly Condemned.
Boston. April 12. At the New England
conference this forenoon, Bev. "William B.
Clark, D. D., for the committee appointed
to report on the condition of affairs at
Claflin University, submitted a report which
in part says:
It is with regret tbat we feel obliged to notice
the recent murderous assault of Prof. W. J.
De Tieville, Jr., upon Prof. J. B. Cordnza, both
members of the faculty ot Claflin University,
Orangeburg, 8. C. While wo have no excuse to
offer for the offensive words nf Prof. Uordoza
and regard them as a breach of conrtesv for
which their author should have made a frank
apology, we have no words to express our
chagrin that there should be found a professor
in Claflin University who conld see no way to
resent an Insult except by the cowardly use of
the bludgebn. .For this brutal outrage Prof.
De Treville should be relieved of his professor
ship or tried in Court as a criminal. Nothing
lss than this will vindicate the honor of tbo
University and State and meet the demands of
a Christian civilization.
The report was accepted by a rising vote.

stratlon of Uay L
Twenty-three unions of New York City
have declared for an eight-hour working
day. It is not likely that many of them will
strike to enforce the demand, however. The
Socialists are taking an active part in the
agitation.
IEFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBI DISPATCn.J
New Tork, April 12. The unions which
have declared for a work day of eight hours
in this city are: The plasterers, the artificial
stone masons, the Amerizan stair builders,
the cabinet makers, the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners, the paper hang
ers, the millers and millwrights, the Pro
gressive painters, the hdusesmiths, the
eccentric engineers, the operative cement
workers, the mosaic and encaustic tile
layers, the wood machine workers, the
derrick men, the granite cutters, the iron
molders, the Belgian pavers, the cement
asphalt layers, the amalgamated carpenters,
the German painters, tne German pavers,
the slate and metal roofers, and the cigar-
matters.
NOT ALL ENTHUSIASTIC.
Of these 23 unions it is not likely tbat
more than half a dozen will make an em
phatic demand for eight hours. The eight
hour work day has been accorded to the
Plasterers' Union. The artificial stone ma
sons, the cement asphalt layers, and the
operative cement layers are now eugaged in
a fight for it It is believed by the major
ity of the workingmen that there will
not be a strong demand for eight hours on

met, the comedian, who failed to keen his
engagement at the Chestnut Street Opera
House last night, is'in the city in charge of
his son and 'other friends who are trying to
brace him up so that he can fill his engage
ments next week. Emmet had been drink
ing so hard all the week that a
man bad been sent to accompany him
all the timeand to restrain him from over
indulgence if possible. Yesterday morning
he managed by a clever pretext to elude the
watcher. Then he jumped into a hack and
drove out to the driving park, where he
spent the day and night driving about the
track and drinking at the bar. Meanwhile
every effort was being made to find him, bnt
without success. He returned to the Con
tinental at 3 o'clock this morning in a
very demoralized condition. Tne Opera
House was not opened at all to-day.
Some five years ago Mr. Emmet caused
the Opera House to remain dark for a whole
week and at the time Messrs. Zimmerman
and Nixon declared that he should never
enter the theater again. Time, however,
somewhat healed the breach and after five
years another contraet was entered into, bnt
with some very heavy money penalties iu
case Fritz should again render himself in
capable of keeping faith with the public.
Th: actor has behaved himself until the
present time.

tbe craft make a lurch, he got off, and in
