Berli Jan. 10. The Landtag resumed business vesterdav. without a sisrn of anv alleviation of the conflict between the Con- . eervative majority and the government, and practically legislation is ir. a state of suspense. The communal reform bill is stillin the hands of the commission. Discussion of the measure in plenary sitting has been postponed until it has had a second reading. Chaucellor Von Canrivi has personally attempted to lessen the tension between the commission and Herr Herrfnrth, Minister of the Interior. In the course of a conversation on Thursday with several members of the Kight the Chancellor appealed to their sentiment of fidelity to the throne and promised concessions in favor of the agricultural interests of the couutry in other pending Kuveruuicub measures in return lor their acquiescence in local reforms, lie warned them that persistent opposition would create serious diQiculties for the monarchy. After the interview several papers predicted that a compromise would be effected which would avert a dissolution of the Landtag. Nothing semi-ofhcial or definite, however, is known regarding the matter. Herr Miguel, the Minister of Finance, was privately asked his opinion of the chances of an agreement being arrived at, but be declined to say more than that a dissolution was improbable. A number of members of the old Cartel party recently held a meeting to arrange for the formation of a liismarck group in the Kcichstag and Landtag. The Cartellers tent a communication to Friedrichsrne, asking the formal sanction of Prince liismarck for the movemeut. To this the l'rince sent verbal reply through a Conservative member of the Iteichstag to the effect that he wonld not prevent members from following his known policy or from claim ing the authority of his name so long an they upheld his opinions. This qualified sanction of the Cartellers movement Is interpreted as meaning that the Prince will not at present seek publicly to lead the party although he is willing to direct their parliamentary operations. The Volks Zeitung, FreUiuige Zeitung and Liberal organs generally we in the Conservatives' acceptance of Hismarck's leadership the certainty of an early dissolution of Parliament. The court talk turns upon the Fmperoia remarks to high dignitaries of tho court

concerning Prince Bismarck. Tho Emperor said: "It is desirable that he be ma do to understand that his time lor politics has passed, lie ought not to attempt to play any. role, and especially that of opposition. Everybody knowing him intimately can Bee that he does not comprehend the needs of our time." Tho Emperor's words referred directly to the encouragement that is being given by Prince Bismarck to the Conservative opposition. Tho latest interview accorded by Bismarck, which was given Vto tho journalist Max Bewer, exhibits him as absorbed in the enjoyment of domestio life and farming and foresting projects. Bewer, after getting the Prince's opinion on the best smoking tobacco and the cultivation of trees, succeeded in turning the conversation to France. On this subject the Prince's most incisive utterance was as follows: "It is impossible to exterminate the French. Germany will never wage a merely prophylactic war. The chemist is the man who will answer the war question. Whatever enemy of, ours gets the best powder first will give the signal for the attack. As to the notion that after the next war eternal peace will reign in Europe I can't think it" Sugar Trust Reorganized. New York, Jan. 10. The negotiations on foot to bring together the opposing interests in Sugar trust affairs have resulted favorably to the Trust. The only opposition to the reorganization come from Dnncan Cameron, who, with J. B. Gleason, was instrumental in having H. O. liavemeyer, S. Y. Wyleand 11. V. Slocum appointed receivers. Then the situation was explained to the opposing interests and last night they agreed to withdrawal! obstacles to the immediate reorganization of the trnst. As a result the Central Trust Company to-day appeared in Brooklyn before Judge Pratt, who appointed the receivers, and, on behalf of themselves, the certificate-holders who had already deposited their certificates under the plan of reorganization, and of the certificateholders who have not yet deposited their certificates, applied to have the order appointing the receivers vacated. The counsel for the receivers and all other interests consented and Judge Pratt granted the motion. The receivers, then, being discharged, went to the People's Trust Company in Brooklyn, which was appointed the custodian of the property of the trust, and there they turned all the assets received by them over to tho trustees. The property, which consisted

mainly to stocks of the various refineries was taken of Jersey city, mere tne suc cessor company, under the title of the "American Suirar Refining Company," had already been formed. Just previous to this the reor ganization committee had declared the reorganization complete, and all the assets. property and franchise of the Sugar Trust were turned over to the American Sugar Helming Company in accordance with the terms of reorsanization. The new corporation at once issued 23,000.000 preferred stock. S25.000.000 in common stock and $10,000,000 in bonds. The preferred stock is entitled to cumu lative dividends at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum. On Mon day the new company will begin business. The holders of the Central Trust Company's receipts will receive share for share, one-ball in preferred stock and onehalf in common stock and a bonus of 5 per cent, in cash. The exchange will he made on and after Monday. The bonds will be retained in the treasury of the company for future action. The Central Trnst Company now has the cash in its possession to pay the 5 per cent, bonus. The Attorney-general's representatives state that he has not been consulted in re gard to these developments. Sensation In the Rozell Harder Case. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Castle, Ind., Jan. 10.' A big sensa tion was created in the Kozell murder trial to-day, when. the defense put John P. Smith, one of the accused parties, on the stand. A shooting-match was to have occurred near Blonntsville on the day of the shooting of Ladd, at which a shotgun, belonging to Smith, was to be contested for, and in the evening before the day of the difficulty Smith (who lived in the country), went to town to see what the prospects were for a crowd at the match. lie went - to "William Kozeli's druz store, and in a conversation had with the defendant Ladd's name came np. Kozell told Smith that Ladd had been raising b 1 around town; that he thought he was in town that nisht: that' if someone would kill Ladd they would be paid for it, and proposed that he and Smith do tbe job. Smith said ho would have noth ing to do with it. Kozell then went into the back room of the store and beckoned for Smith to follow, which he did. . Kozell gave him two or three drinka of whisky, and the two went to Henry Kozeli's shop, where they had a short conversation, and then returned. On the way back Smith told Kozell that 'if his gun went oft at a good price he would buy a re volver of Kozell, and Kozell replied "I have got two good ones in my pocket now." Smith asked if he could not set 'em utj and Kozell cave him one of them. They went back to Kozeli's storo and "bowled up" some more, by which time Smith began to feel "pretty rich' and when Kozell proposed that they sotoahouBe in town where he supposed L.addwas braith assented. 1 hey went to the house, but found nobody there and re turned to Kozelrs store again. Then, amid a stillness which was oppres sive, Judge Mellett, who was examining Smith, arose and said: "May it please the court, I talked to this man last night, and asked him what he would testify to. and he told me. bo far his evidence has been in direct contradiction of what he then said. 1 therefore decline to question him further." Further hearing of testimony was then postponed until Monday on account of tho absence of an important witness, Cassius M. Lake, who is sick. Henry Kozell. the defendant's brother, who is nnder indictment for participation in the killing, and who was out on bail, was surrendered by bis bondsmen immediately after Smith testified, and is now in jail. Palmer Not Their Choice. Sprixgeield. Ill, Jan. 10. Tho standing of the three farmer members of the Houso of the Genoral Assembly in the coming senatorial tight isno longer one of uncertainty. While it is not yet known who their candidate will be it is certain that it will not be John M. Palmer. Kepresentative Cockrell. in an interview this evening, said that under no circumstances would he or his colleagues support Palmer. They had no objection to Palmer except that he stands on the old Democratic doctrine that the government can make nothing legal tender but gold and silver. "Wo say," added Cockrell, "that gold and silver, as a circulating medium for the development of our country, are inadequate. What we desire is a ner capita circulation, and we want an American system of finance. We have come to jhe conclusion that money is neither silver, nor gold, nor any. other mateiial. If Palmer was elected he wonld spend his six years in Washington fighting tariff measures, while the money trust is squeezing our values and profits into their incomes and robbing us all of our homes. We will elect our man or forco the Kepublican or Democratic party to adopt our policy. If the Democrats are able to get a Kepublican vote and elect a Senator without the three farmers that will simply be a Kepublican funeral." Kepresentative Tanbeneck indorsed Mr. Cockrell's views. He said several men bad been discussed as candidates and they were neither Palmer, Lindley, Farwell nor Oglesby. It has been rumored David Hunter will be their candidate. Commander Reller Asks Trial, Washington, Jan. 10. The following letter has been addressed to the Secretary of the Navy by Commander Keiter. U. S. N., who was severely censured by the Secretary for his conduct in the Barrundia attain Pittsburo, Ta., Jan. 8. . Sir I have to acknowledge the receipt .of the department letter of the 31st of December, 181)0. The letter was mailed in Washington, I). Con the Cth day of January and was received by me on the 7th. It was foreshadowed bv the ureas of the United Slates on Jan. 1 and 2, and an extract rrom it containing the most severe censure of the department appears in the press of the country to-day. The letter then became to the general public, unfamiliar with the true facts of the cae, a severe "public reprimand" to me. a punishment which can only be lecally infilled by a sentence of . a naval general court-martial. I was detached from the command of th? Hanger by the department order of Sept. 1S90, and the letter U the first written statement of the department's grounds of action. Extract from It having been given to the presa for publication before I could possibly reidy to it, I now content myself by dimply declarug that when In command of the Hanger on the

occasion in question I was in no way culpable, hut discharged my whole duty; that I had no doIre. nor did I endeavor to escape any responsibility attaching to my position, and 1 do not now

acuuu. As I regard your letter as unjust, undeserved inl nn wnrrntitfkil T hum tn rounpnt fnllc dpmiind what is clearly my right, namely, a trial before a naval court. Respectfully, Geo. C. Klixek, Commander, U. 8. i. - Held for Murder and Klot. Pittsburg. Pa.. Jan. 10. The hearing of the Hungarians arrested for encaging in iot an d assaulting workmen at the Edgar Thompsons steel-works at Braddock, took place before Squire lloltzmann in the Braddock lockup this afternoon.

Beelix, Jan. 10.Under the influence of the unfavorable opinion of Professor Virchow and other prominent physicians regarding the Koch remedy, the government has come to a pause over the proposed bill making the lymph tne Eroperty or tne state. Minister v on Gossler, w no as tho supervision of medical affairs, has the bill ready and intends to in troduce it in the Landtag Monday, but has postponed its introduction. This action has led to rumors that tho Ministers desire to reconsider the arrangement made between Dr. Von Gossler and Prof. Koch. The Klein Journal affirms that It is doubtful if the Ministry will now adhere to the agreement. Tne Koch circle of the contrary 6tate that the relations between Prof. Koch and Minister Von Gossler are unchanged, and that tho Introduction of the bill is delayed because the aDDaratus for the state pro duction of the lymph is still incomplete, a num ber or the hatching ovens not being ready. rroressor Kocn round necessary this veeic some hundred additional breeding chambers for the bacteria preparation, which, including the growth of the bacilli, takes much time. prolonged watching and constant testing belore Professor Koch or bis assistants will pronounce the lymph reliable. Dr. fcercetter, at a clinio at Vienna, declared that there was no improvement in cases of tuberculosis of the larynx which were being treated there by the Koch method, and that the results of such treatment in cases of phthisis were very wonderful. Professor Croco, of Belgium, denies that there is any curative action in the Koch remedy. He asserts that he has seen an in tense reaction after injections of the lymph in the case of patients sutleriug from phthisis and a similar reaction in the case of others sutfering. from pleurisy who were without a trace of tuber culosis affection, lint notwithstanding tnese hostile crltioisms tbe confidence of the medical profession in the efficacy of the Koch treatment Is unabated. The Koch; Institute which the government is! now erecting will consist of an immense laboratory. with a clinio having 150 beds. The department of education has already taken over ; Koch's house, in which the lymph is manu factured, and Drs. Pf uhl and Llbberta have be-. come cmclals of the department. The clinio of - the institute will be under tha direction of Prof. Brleger. Information Wanted About the Tool. ; Washington, Deo. 10. In tho Ilouse to-day?

It Is Very Costly to Foreigners, and There Is a Call for Its Abolition. Paris Letter in Boston Journal. What American traveling abroad, and especially iu France, does not hate the custom of constant fee-giving! The "pourhoire" is an European institution so firmly rooted in the customs of the peonle that it will he dilhcult to eradicate it. Every one has to submit to this species of servitude, natives as well as foreigners. It is a voluntary servitude, to he sure, created hy grat itude and perpetuated by habit; but it now has all the force of an act of tho Legislature. One is not legally obliged to give fees, but custom has made the practice as obligatory as any law. Frenchmen wero ablo to overthrow the llastile one hundred aud one years ago, hut they are powerless against the "pourboire" of to-day. If natives cannot change the custom, how little can foreigners avail I have often heard independent Americans exclaim, on their arrival in Faris for the first time, that they would not give fees everywhere, that they were Americans, that they would not conform to such customs, etc., etc. Life was soon made a burden to them, and they found that they would either have to give fees or return home. They were opposed to it onprinciple more than from a desire to save money. The custom is all wrong, but, in the memorable words of Bill Tweed, "what are yon going to do about itt" Let us see how this custom of constant fee-giving ailects the traveler. We will suppose that he arrives from America by the French line of steamers. Before he lands at Havre he is obliged to give at ieast 10 francs each to his state-room steward, waiter, ; "boots" and smoking-room attendant, in all about $8. Then he must give 10 'cents-to the porter who carries his luggage 'to tb train and from the train on arrival in Fans, and 2 cents to a dirtv individual who opens the door of his cab. The "cabby" expects a "pourboire" of at least 10 cents. The hotel porters assistant (a man found 'on the street) expects 12 cents for assist ing'' to carry np the travelers trunk to his room, and the porter also as much. By tbe time the tourist has reached his room in the Faris hotel he has -spent $8.72 in fees alone. Now while he rexnainstin tho gay trench capital the amount ;of feea that he must give depend upon his -mode of life. If he rides in cabs and takes his meals at restaurants his expenses for 'fees will be considerable. Stingy natives -only give to their cabby a ponrboiro of 3 or 4 cents, but most foreigners give half a f f an0'(10 cents) each time; and the minimum jrfCvJtif restaurants is 1 sous (or cent) iu the franc.' That is, if the dinner costs 10 francs at least 10 cents must be given to the waiter as a fee. Let ns suppose the traveler takes his noonday breakfast at a restaurant, and if . be 'is not stingy he will leave the small change for the waiter, say 23 cents. iFeetf given at diiierent galleries and free exhibitions will amount to at least SO cents; Tee to Waiter who served a glass of beer, 2 IcentsfJfee to barber (for they expect it), 5 Toentscabby," 10 cents; waiter at dinner, -small change left, IS cents: "cabby," to theater, 10 cents; fee to inevitable cab-door opener; twice. 4 cents; to the odious tf'ouvreuse" (who does the duty of usher at the theater), 10 cents; programme, never free, S cents; fee at cafe, between tho acts, 10 cents; "cabby," to hotel, 10 cents; total, jl.35 for fees alone for one person, one day, jn Paris, to which must be added at least 0cen,ts as the average daily proportion o -fefs he must pay the servants at his liOtel when he leaves, although "service" is xharged for in tbe bill separately. The above, is. not exaggerated, it is what the 'average tourist would pay in fees; he might 'give less, but he might also give more. It represents about 25 per cent, on the amount of his ordinary expenses for meals, cabs, theater, etc. iThere is a league being formed against the "pourboire" at restaurants, and by whom do you thinkf By the waiters themselves. Yes, that is true, and they have lately been holding a conference in Faris with the avowed object of suppressing fees at. cafes. The proprietors of such establishments not only do not pay the waiters any salary, but they take for themselves a portion of the fees paid to the waiters by th consumers. Now the waiters wish to abolish the fee system and have fixed salaries established for them. It would be much better for them, and for tbe publio as well. This tax of a sons in the franc is a heavy one, and amouuts to a large sum daring the year. The price of a glass of beer in Fans is usually 7 cents, but the 'customer has to pay 1 cent, at least, to the waiter who serves it.- If he neglects to do so he does not dare enter that particular cafe again. But this "pourboire" does not obtain any extra service, and it is tbe business of the proprietors of restaurants and cafes to have their customers served, and this should be without any extra expense. Let the proprietors pay the waiters a salary and all will be well. If tbe waiters sue ceed in abolishing the pernicious custom of feeing, they will bo doing a good thing. , m . The Same Old Story. TerreTIaute News(Dem.) The old extravagant ways of the preceding Legislature characterized the present organization. Senator Griilith led the raid on the tieasury by moving that the Secretary and assistant secretary each be authorized to employ two additional assistantsand that the Door-keeper be authorized to appoint eleven additional assistants. The number of employes of the Senate is fixed by law. but that matters little to such Senators as Griffith, and fifteen employes wero unlawfully added to tbe pay-roll of the Senate by a strict party vote. This is not a very encouraging outlook for an economical session. A humorous fact ahout Hood's Sarsarilla it expels had hnmor and creates good humor. Bo sure to pet Hood's.
