(Copyriqht 1892. by the N. y. Aesocfatsz Press)
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-Emperor William win
open the Rechstag Ia person On Nov. 22.
While the Imperial parliament is wrestling
over the army bill the Prusslan Landtag,
which has been summoned 20 meet on Nov.
3, will be involved in an eager party fight
on the fiscal reforms proposed by DR..
MIGUEL minister Of finance. Jth sessions
will strain the energies OF the ministers and
produce crisis periods. ye: the Off ,ial circle
is as confident that the army bill will be
approved as they are also confident that
the proposed budget will meet with
acceptance. The members OF this circle do
not hesitate to declare that the government
will win all along the line. Tue storm OF
abuse with which the government rOl0sals
were assaled when they were first published
is suhsiding. The government appears
likely TO benefit greatly by the so-called
premature disclosure Of the army bill. 1t
is certain that II the measure bad been
thro Rn into the Relohstag in full session,
surprising the members. 10 would have
scattered the parties like a bonb-shelI,
breaking groups in sections that 10 would
have been impossible TO regulate. Never
has government project received such a
glacial reception from its expected support
ers or aroused greater clamor among its
natural opponents. Paperd OF such diverse
opinions as the Germ0NiU tcentrist, the
RetchSb0te conservative, and Das F0{k,
Dr.. Won Stoecker's organ, have couourred
| with the oppoaltiCn press in declaring that
| the measure was impossible. Early dssolu-
| tion OF the Reichstag was sverYwhaTe pre-
! dlct9d. d it was said that this would
| result in the return OF house hostile 20 the
! government. Now the tone of the ooatrist
organs has been nodded. The Ternlunia
suggests that the bill will be possible il the
| government reduces its demands The con-
| servatiye press felcitatos the country on

l21 voes-being cast for the measure
In order 70 obtain the necessary 1919 votes
10 carry the bill, Chancellor Won Caprivi
can rely on the ceutrists stopping into line
under Inducements that are already on the
verge Of acceptance.
DIvULGENCE OF THE BILL.
The official fuss over tho Cologne Gazette's
dlvuigng the details OK the bll! aud the in
qIiry ordered to ascertain that PAPERS
source Of information mean nothing. The
ministers know that a copy of the bill was
seat TO the Cologne GoGettp through "A min
iser Of the federal state, who was desirous
Of it's publication. Neither the Emperor
William nor Chancellor Won CeDrivi really
regret The disclosure, which, IL is now
clearly seen, lies been TO the governments
advantage.
Prince Bismarck will not reappear in the
Reichstag. Ii the success OF the coalition
against the government was absolutely
secure, with himself master OF the situation, ,
| he would not hesitate e. again take his ssat ;
but person who lately tried to interview
| him could not extort even a side-light On
| the princes attitude toward the imuendiny
| struggle. His criticisms were chiefly per
sonaites. The present ministers. he said
! were so Insignificant and the covering to the
! shield they present is 30 Transparent that
the emperor, himself. always shines through
then. It is dangerous to the future Of
! monarchicl Il ideas, he said. for q ruler, even
with the best Intentions, TO appear SO fire.
! quentlv IN the political field without a
denent ministerial covering. Continuing,
! Prince Bismarck said: ITO fight with minls
ters who are men OF straw has no charms
! for me. Some of the cling through per-
sonal necessities TO the posts that feed them.
They have large families or there are other
things that demand that they retain their
otlices.n
This is interpreted as spiteful alluson to
I
home Office and representative OF the chan
| cellor. That sort Of man." Prince bis-
marck said, ''is represented In the gOvern-
ment, Of which Frederick the Great once
sail they we're amusing at the table, but
whom Frederick klcked out Now they
| are not Kicked out. The situation has no
sword for me. Ny son is much less resigned
| TO be out OF Office than am, but ue has long
seen that competition with certain ministers
| is only possible, provided one previously
| wears the livery for some years"
| Prince Bismarck Is enjoying good health,
! though h3 is Of all Gcid temper.
A TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
Negotiations for a commercial treaty
| with Russia are about TO be resumed. A
dispatch received to-day from st. Peters,
| burg announces tho appointment of pleni-
potentiaries headed by Minister Burge.
! Russia has asssnted 10 a reduction Of her
tariff on German C al, and the minister Of
| marine hes joined the commission In order
! TO assist IN regulating tbs coal question.
| The commission also includes the ministers
| of finance interior ana imperial domains
| Russia means business and Germany is
ready TO respond.
THE SOCIALIST PARTY.
The proRr mme Of the independent social
ist party has finally bee drafted. and IL
marks their dehnitiye secession from the
main body OF social democratic. The pro-
gramme declares that the workmon ought
10 reject state socialism in every form.
They should rather aim TO enfeeble il and
completely abolish the state. The should
try to capture the means OF production and
abolish Aptalistio society through
strikes, boycotts, refusal TO en-
ter into legal obhgati1ns, etc.
Thoy should oppose all the leading insti-
tutes Of modern society such as the church,
state schools, army. bureaucracy aud par
lameutarism d reconstruct society on the
basis Of perfect equality without distinction
as Co sex. The manifesto is the embodi-
mont Of sheer aBavchism. The pity is that
the party has a growing number of I'D
herents in Germany. The socialist mern-
bers Of the ReichsJsg, Rerren Singer, Bsbel,
Liebknecht and Auer, will seize the occa-
sion OF the great congress OF the socialislc
party, which will be held Ia Berlin on Nov.
IA to denouncs the manifesto as anti-social-
istic.
The emperor Is hunting on the estate OF
Count Won Gutenberg. BE will return to
Berlin to night aud will leave for Witten-
burg tomorrow 70 take part In the recon-
secration Of the Luther Memorial church on
Monday.
