BANQUET following the review Of the Garde du Corps
on Thursday, that the Government did not n'chd 10
adopt the proposal for two years military service IN
stead of three years. at present is not conoeed III
the official circle involve the immediate retirement
~ Chancellor Won Capiivi, who supports and, In fac
brought forward the proposal. The Prosrcssist and
National Liberal press insist that the Chancellor ought
20 and must resign in view of the Emperors decision
but il has been open secret That, before the EN-
peror started on his recent whaling voyage In the Nort
Sea- he set his face against The main proposals OF inc
Chancellor's military bill The estimates prepared on
the projected two years service bill showed that 1t
you'd be necessary to demand at the outset reforming
~ the army expenditures. amounting TO 1oo'OOOOOO
marks with annual addition 10 the war budget OF
90 600 900 marks. General Count Won Wa!dcrsee heid
with the Emperor while most Of the other higa military
authorities sided with the Chancellor In favor Of snort
service. The Reichstag might have granted large
norton Of the proposed additional war budget II IL was
named with shorter service but II would never
accede TO the extraordinary grants without IT. NO
great army bill will, therefore, be placed before the
Reichstag at the coming session.
REGRoUPING OF PARTIES LIKELY
Another result Of the Imperial declaration will be

adopted the two years principle. The National
Liberals the Frcisinnige and Free conservatives

question on which the next elections Will turn' IL
the present Government survives an earlier cohnic'
will occur on the question with the present Recn-
stag. Chancellor Won Caprivi, though submissive
servant of the Emperor, will never face the Reich
stag with an Army bill asking money without con-
cedng a shorter term Of service. Count Won Euen-
berg president of the Prussian Ministerial Couich
and Prussian Minister of the Interior, would DO So
consequently when the Emperor deems the time op

be replaced BY Chancellor ready TO carry out The
Imperial Will. Tile immediate consolation attending
tho abandonment Of the Army bill is the withdrawal
of the threatened increase In taxation
THE LAW TO SUPPRESS DRUNKENNESS
II ,s reported that the Government will withhold
from the Reichsag the law for the suppression OF
drunkenness. The which has been in opera
ton since July l. rela ing to sunday repose though
excellent in its intention, is causing universal dis
content and It's repeal will be agated in the Reich
stag. The probable failure Of this paernal law
makes the Ministers pause with Other measures In
the same line.
