Emperor William will open the reich
stag in person November 22d. While
the imperial parliament is wrestling
over the army bill, the Prussian land
tag, which is summoned to meet No
yember 9th, will be involved in party
fight on the fiscal reforms proposed by
Dr. MIGUEL, minister of finance. Both
sessions will strain the energies of the
ministers and produce crisis periods, yet
the official circle is confident the army
bill will be approved, as they are also
confident that the proposed budget will
meet with acceptance.
Prince Bismarck will not reappear in
the reichstag. If the success OF the
coalition against the government was
absolutely secure, with himself master OF
the situation, he would not hesitate to
again take his seat, but the person
who latest tried to interview him
could not even extort eide light on the
princes attitude toward the impending
struggle. His criticism was chiefly per-
sonalities. The present ministers, he
said, are 80 Insignificant, and the cover
ing to the shield they present is 80 trans
parent that the emperor himself always
shines through them. 1t is dangerous
to the future of the monarchial era, he
added, for a ruler, even with the best
intentions, to appear 90 frequently in
the political field without decent minis
terial covering.
Continuing, Prince Bismarck said !:
"To fight with ministers who are made
of straw has no charms for me. Some
of them cling through personal necessi-
ties to the posts that feed them; they
have large families or there are other
things that demand that they retain
their Offices"
This Is interpreted as a spiteful allu-
sion to DIR. Won Boetticher, head OF the
imperial home office and representative
of the chancellor.
\ "The sort of men," said Prince Bis
marck, ''are represented in the govern
ment, that Frederick the Great once
said were amusing at table, but whom
Frederick kicked out. Now they are
not kicked out. The situation has no
sword for me. NY son is much less re-
signed to be out of Office than 1 am,
but he has long seen that competition
with certain ministers is only possible
provided one previously wears livery for
some years."
Negotiations for commercial treaty
with Russia are about to be resumed.
The programme of the Independent

They should rather enfeeble it and com

try to capture the means of production
and abolish capitalistic society through

leading Institutes of modern society,
such as church, state schools, the army,
bureaucracy and parliamentarism, and
reconstruct society on basis of perfect
equality, without distinction as to sex.

A representative of the Associated
Press is informed that the German
steamship companies have agreed not
to forward Russians or Hungarians to
the United States as long as cholera ex.
lists in Russia and Hungary. The re-
ports current from New York that Bo
hemians, also, will be excluded, are un
true.

Experiments have recently been made
