BERLIN, Nov. 26.-When the debate
on the imperial budget opens in the
r6ichStag on Wednesday next some in
dIcation will be given as to the manner
in which the parties are likely
to range themselves on the
army bill. The army estimates
that were prepared independently
of the increased expenditures involved
through the new bill amount to $50. 0OO,-
900 marks. being 12,500,000 marks over
the amount contained in the last budget.
There is an almost unanimous feeling
among the members of the reichstag
against proceeding with the army bill
until the governments financial pro-
jects connected with the measure are
fully disclosed
The house will compel Chancellor
Won Caprivi 10 make an explicit state
ment during the discussion of the gen.
eral estimates. Until full official dec
laratIon is made of the government
plans for the new taxation covering the
extra expenditures, the leading mem
bers of the reichStag are reticent re-
garding the lines of attack or defense.
In the meantime, if the tone of the
Centrist and National Liberal organs
were an infallible guide, the
Fate of the Army Bill
would be settled. According to these
organs the measure will be defeated OIL
its first reading, Chancellor Won Caprivi
will resign within fortnight, the
reichStag will be dissolved soon after he
leaves Office, the elections for new mem
berS end in January, and will result in
a stronger opposition than In the pres
ent house.
Government officials are confident
that none OF these predictions will be
fulfilled They say the bill will he de-
bated on Dec. 5, and it will pass the
first reading by fair majority. Then it
will be RENTED to a committee. 1t
the center party require that their
support be bought by the chancellor
agreeing not to oppose the CentriSt
measure permitting the return OF the
Jesuits to Germany, then a bargain will
be struck. This would bring the gov
eminent seventy votes. Chancellor
Won Caprivi, as recently as the
last session, opposed the Cen
tristS' proposal to repeal the law
against the JesuitS, but the party has
chosen the right moment to bring pres
sure on the government, which Will sur
render and will neither oppose nor sup
port the bill, but will let the Centrsts
pass the measure with the assistance Of
the Fresisnnige party, the Socialists
and the Poles all Of Wn0m would vote
for the repeal OF the present anti-Jesuit
law.
The German People,
as a people, are Indifferent about the
Jesuits, the presence of few hundred
of whom would not be felt by the coun-
try. About forty CentriSts who do not
support the plans of the remainder of
the party will oppose the bill.
The government has also to take
into consideration the wrath that will
be aroused among the Conservatives by
the return of the JeSuits and which will
counterbalance the other considerations.
The ministerial circle continues con-
fideut thatthe government will come
VIGOROUSLY out of the crisis.
Among the leading measures that
will be submitted to the reichStag is the
immigration bill which was first pub
lished last spring as restrictive meas
ure. This bill, will aid the efforts of the
American government to check unde-
sirable immigration. Ibe emperor's
social purity bill, which is called
notorious HeinZe case, which
exposed the vices of Berlin, will now
be expedited toward its passage. The
emperor is greatly interested in this
measure and he wants no delay in its
being made a law.
The lower house of the Prussian diet
is absorbed in the discussion of Finance
Minister MiquePs fiscal reports. The
spectacle of ex-Minister Herr Furth de-
nouncing
His Former Colleagues
is almost an unknown event in the his
tory of the landtag. His speeches have
caused several rows. Count Linn
bourgsturm upbraided Herr Furth for
assuming an attitude that was unwor-
thy a statesman who had quilted office.
Herr Furth seemed to be stung
by this reproach. He replied that
he had been obliged to resign because,
while he was minister OF the
interior, he refused to submit to the de-
mands of the Bavarian party, claiming
that their interests were protected at
the expense of others.
Minister Miquel's proposals. with some
minor amendments, were today re-
ferred to a committee. The diet then
adjourned sine die.
Court and diplomatic circles here are
excited over report that the care
wichiduring his recent visit to Vienna
paid marked attention to Princess Maria
Annunciade, daughter of Archduke
Karl Ludwig, brother of Emperor Fran
els Joseph. Princess Maria will be only
seventeen years old on the next ami
nf rf Iun n
life OF seclusion, having been educated
at Castle Reichenau. Her mother,
Princess Maria Theresa of Braganza,
who is the third wife of the archduke,
is close
Friend of the Czarina.
By the consent of their parents the
fete given to the latter in Vienna. The
empress of Austria, who had abstained
from taking part in every official func-
ton since the tragic death of Crown
Prince Rudolph, was present at
two of the dinners given in
honor of the czarowitch. The reluct-
ance of the Russian heir apparent to
marry, which was greatly troubling the
car. is now believed to have been over
come. The question of difference of re-
ligion, according to court talk, would
be no obstacle to the marriage of the
princess and cZarowitch.
A secret struggle is proceeding be-
tween group of German fnanciers
and French syndicate over the con-
struction of a canal system to link the
Danube with the Oder and
the Moldau with the Elbe. An
Austrian syndicate employed French
engineers to survey route
and estimate the cost of ship canal to
connect the grain districts of Bohemia,
Moravia and Silesia with the Danube.
Such canal can be completed for &c.
OO0.O00 forms. If the French plans are
accepted German money
