less seen by the public all tend to consoli-
date Chancellor Won Caprivi's position and
assure the passage of the army bil The
Freissinnige and the other Bismarckian
papers all pretend to believe that the Chan
cellOr'S position is untenable. and every day
the opposition produces fresh rumors as TO
who his successor will be. The fact is,
nevertheless, that the Chancellor's position
daily becomes strengthened by the open ad-
hesion of some Of the party leaders and the
private adhesion of others. DR.. Bull Ma
uona-LlberaD has won the Chancellor s
thanks by promising that his party Will
support all military demands necessary for
the support of the empire. and Herr Kos

announced that they would vote 10 grant

interference is persisted in. The Vatican,
consequently, has sssented, leaving the
Center party to follow whatever course it
pleases.

police supervision and the disclosure Of
their private affairs demanded under the
