BERLIN, November 5.-Durlng the
coming week several important meet
ings of party leaders will be held IN
Berlin, preliminary to the opening Of
the Reichstag. The general drift OF
political developments points 10 the
government securing majority Tor the
army bill through coalition of Con-
servatives, Centrists ana members OF
the Reichsparti.
Prince Bismarck's denunciatlon Of
the bill as being utterly useless have
failed TO influence even the National
Liberals, whose organs deprecate pop
ular agitation against the government
proposals aud urge q cautious line OF
opposition.
A meeting OF National Liberals at
Wurtemberg took the strongest line OF
attack against the bill in declaring that
Germany was unable to bear the In
creased taxation proposed.
Referring to Prince Gortschakof,
whom Prince Bismarck described as a
malicious personal enemy, Prince Bis
marck says he was allowed lump sum
Of money from the Russian treasury for
official kilograms. Instead OF deyotlng
the money TO this purpose he put II In
his own pocket and used the German
Ambassador and other officials as his
telegraphic media with the Car.
The Gear, he added, told him that van
ity had made Prince Gortschakotf silly.
Prince Bismarck says that another old
colleague OF his, Count Won Radowitz,
proved that he could not be trusted be-
ca ase he drank. After his third glass
of zine he gave his tongue rein and
blabbed all he knew.
Refdrring to the Conservatives anti
Semitic agitation, the Prince applies
coarse phrase TO the Hebrews, saying
that the conservatives, In setting out TO
get State legislation against the jews,
Got hold OF the wrong vermin-kIller
9Wanzenpulv&). Some OF the Princes
Statements are denounced as fiction.
The Yossisehe Zenln0 calls them I'm
ported mistakes. Serr Ricb~-'s Fret
sinnge ZettUIlg says his ieusar@-
void OF historic truth.
Abiding to his aversion 10 reappear-
ing In the Reichstag the Prince says
that many OF the members would treat
him as though he was pest-stricken,
adding that Hamburg cholera patient
would be better received than he. Tho
newspapers concur In their expressions
OF regres at the undlgnifled character OF
his utterances. Even the papers friend
ly to hlm agree that his language Is un-
worthy OF his past career.
A pamphlet by the military writer,
Major Keim, and an article In the Nut
tar Wochenbldt, inspired by the War
Office, responded TO the attacks that
have been made upon the army DILL.
The lfiIltdr WOcheIlbldtt frankly states
that I'm the event OF war the Russian
army is so superiar to the Austrian that
Germany would be obliged 70 help Ans-
trla on the eastern frontier while tight
ing Frnnce on the western frontier.
She would be but feebly assisted by
Italy. who would be unable 70 Invade
France. and who would have great DIFF
ficuity in defending her own coasts from
the French feet. Major keim contends
that war is inevitable.
The Empress In thanking the Beriir
municipal authorities for their congrat-
ulations on the occasion OF the annIyer-
sary OF her birthday Expressed conh->
dence that proper measures would be
taken to relieve the distress OF the poor.
Reports attributes the failure OF a
large firm OF customers here 20 embar-
rassments that have arisen 70 large bill
that the Empress has long left unpaid.
Her expenditures for dress and jewelry
are i'm mense, she seldom wearing the
same dress twice. With the approach
OF winter the distress among the poor
becomes more clamorous.
A mob which collected In one OF the
poorer quarters threatened 70 pillsge
the shops. They threw a police agent
into the canal. whereupon a body OF
mounted police charged them and
cleared the streets. Boatmeu saved
the agent. A large number OF arrests
were made.
