Opposition to the Military BIZ! ForeshadOws
Dissolution of the Reichstag.
BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-The commission On the
Military bill yesterday concluded the debate
on the first reading Of the measure. On a
proposal being made that the commission
adjourn until after the holidays, General
Won Schellendorf, the Minister of War, de-
manded that the debate on the second read
ing be begun at once. The Conservatives
and National Liberals were opposed to,
while the members of the Center and the
Progressists favored, adjournment. During
the debate General Won Schellendorff de-
clared that it was impossible to accept tho
bill as modified by Thursdays votes A
motion to hold a sitting to-day was rejected
by a vote of 16 to II, and it was decided to
leave to the president of the commission
the summoning of the next meeting. This
decision is tantamount to an adjournment
until after the holidays. The language of
General Won Schellendorff was firm, dis
playing no shadow of a compromise, and
the belief is general that the Reichstag will
be dissolved at an early date. A minor
state Of siege has been declared at Frank
fort and Hanau and in the districts Xoes-
toch and the upper Taurus.

COMPLAINS Of Its Taxes.

ST. PAUL, MINI. Dec. 1S.-The Pullman Pal
ace Car Company, through its attorney, ap-
peared before Judge Brewer in the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, and applied
for an injunction to restrain the Iowa State
officers from collecting taxes levied On roll
ing stock in that State. The law of Iowa
on the subject of railway taxation per-
mits the State to impose tax on all
the property Of railroad companies in
sight. The fact that the Pullman sleep
srs in use are not the actual property
of railroad companies using them cuts
no figure in making up the tax levy, and
the State has imposed its taxes on the rail-
road companies on al rolling stock used BY
them.
