CARLISLE TALKS.
e ia Opposed f Federal Begulu
tloa of Elections.
Washington, March 22. The
Sunday Gatette of this city to-morrow
publishes an interview with
Mr. Carlisle upon the attitude
of the democratic representatives
tow rd several important measures
pending before the house. In an
interview Carlisle first attacked the
Dodge bill, providing for federal
regulation of elections of represen
tatives. He says : "The democrats
in the bouse are a unit in opposi
tion to the first clause, which in
practice would make the bill oper
ate only in certain sections of the
country. The intention is.in other
words, to control the machinery of
elections for representatives in
Congress from the southern con
gressional districts and from a few
northern districts. Tbia we shall
oppoee." Continuing Carlisle es
timated that to carry out the provi
sions of the bill would require the
employment of 30,000 officers of
election at an expense of from $10,
000.000 te $15,000,000 every two
years, which would have to be met
by the United States treasury. If
the Australian system is adopted
as proposed it would necessitate a
vast increaee in the number of
polls.
In conclusion Carlisle said that
while the extravagant expenses of
the party in power and the propos
ed partisan laws were important
questions they would not be the
overtopping issues of the fall cam
paign, but the great question would
continue to be the freeing of the peo
pie irom unnecessary taxation bv
tariff laws.

Oi.vmi'Ia, March 22. There was
a wrangle in the house to-day over
the Swart bill, fixing the compen
sation of county officers through
out the state. A special commit
tee had labored on tee bill for
three months and their conclusion
was far from satisfactory. Many
attempts were made to raise the
salaries and nearly all succeeded.
The lowest was $50 for county at
torney in the lowest class to $3300
for county auditor in the highest
class. The penate passed two uni
versity bills, one allowing the sale
of a site in Seattle and the other
for an appropriation of $10,000 for
the support of the institution.
Next Friday is the date of the final
adjournment, but the legislature
has yet 150 bills te be acted on.
If adjournment occurs then much

Berlin. March 22. The North
ierman Gazette to-night supplies
some light on the i-aue !.-a.!ing to
Bismarck's resignation. It says:
The chancellor did not wi-h to tie
part from the cabinet order of ."S,
relating to the intercourse between j
the Prussian ministry und the j
sovereign, nut, ue iesireu vt retain
his cniitiol and rilit ! co-operation
The oppi-sitiisn he encour
aged in the matter lin iiiy brought
clearly to him th necessity for hi
his resignation.
The negotiations lcteen Bis
marck and Windtnorst, with refer
ence to the Guelph fund and tho
attitude of the clerical party, are
only connected with the crisis so
far as that the chancellor refused
to subject his intercourse with the
deputies to any control. No steps
havo been taken by tho emperor
personally, or by th-5 sovereign of
any of the federal states to induce
Bismarck te remain at the head of
the ministry of foreign affairs.
The tone of the Gazette only feebly
indicates the anger which exists in
Bismarckian circles.
The complacency with which
Bismarck's retirement is now gen
erally regarded may soon be re
placed with a regret that the coun
try is left at the mercy of a self
willed autocrat. The cabinet er
dcr of 52 has always been held by
Bismarck as interpreting the
Prussian constitution to mean that
the president o'. the ministry ought
to appoint his own cabinet, choos
ing men having opinion and princi
ples in harmony with his own. The
emperor refused to assent and
maintained the right of a monarch
to appoint ministers having direct
responsibil ty, not tothc president,
but to tue crown.
The committee 'of labor confer
ence have agreed upon the follow
ing: I hat onlv lads over 14 veers
of ago be employed in the mines
and that female labor underground
he prohibited. Children s labor in
factories should be dependent upon
their completion of the prescribed
school course. The employment
at night of persons under 14 years
of age b prohibited. The em
ployment of children in unhealthy
or dangerous trades le prohibited.
That Sunday be a day of rest iu
all employments except in cases of
necessity or where, woik can only
proceed in certain seasons.
