BERLIN, November 26.-When the
debate on the imperial budget opens In
the Reichstag, Wednesday next. some
indication will be given as to the man
ner in which the parties are likely TO
range themselves on the army bill.
There Is an almost unanimous feel
ing among the members of the Reich
stag against proceeding with the army
bill until the governments financial
projects compel Chancellor Won Caprlvi
10 make an explicit statement during
the discussion of the general estimates.
Until full official declaration is made
OF the government plans for new taxa
tion, covering the extra expenditures,
the leading members OF the ReIchstag
are reticent regarding the lines Of at
tack or defense. In the meantime, II
the tone OF the Centrist and National
Liberal organs are an infallible guide,
the fate OF the Army bill would be set
tied. According TO these organs the
measure will be defeated on its first
reading. Chancellor Won Caprivi will
resign within a fortnight and tho
Reichstag will be dissolved soon after
he leaves office. The elections for new
memb mbers will end I'm January aud will
result In stronger opposition than Is
In the present House.
Government officials are confident
that none OF these predictions will be
fulfilled. They say the bill will be de-
bated on December 9Th, and II will pass
the first reading by fair majority.
Then IL will be referred TO committee.
II the Centre 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 bargain will
be struck. This would bring the gov
ernment seven votes. Chancellor Won
CaprlvI as recently as the last ses-
sion opposed the Centrist's proposal
TO repeal the law against the Jesults,
but the party have chosen the right
moment 10 bring pressure on the gov
ernment, which will surrender and will
neither oppose nor support tho bill, brt-
will let the Centrists pas tho uneasur,
with the assistance OF -rn0, ,f'reissinnige
party, the Socialists aud the Poles, oil
OF whom would vote for the repeal OF
the present anti-Jesult law. The Ger.
man people as whole are indifferent
about the Jesuits, the presence OF few
hundred OF whom would not be folt by
tho country. About forty Centrists
who do not support the plans OF the
remainder Of the party will oppose tho
bill. The government has also TO take
into consideration the wrath that will
be aroused among the Conservatives by
the return OF the Jesuits aud will coun-
terbalance the other considerations.
The ministerial circle continues conf
dent that the government Will come
victorious out OF the crisis.
Among the leading measures that
will be submitted 10 the Relchstag is
the emigration bill, which was first pub
lished last spring as restrictive. This
bill will aid the efforts OF the American
government TO check undesirable emil
grafton. The Emperor's social purity
bill, which is called tha LEX Heinze'
from the notorious IIelnze case, which
exposed the vices OF Berlin, will now be
expedited towards lts passage. The
Emperor Is greatly interested In this
measure, aud he wants no delay In It's
being made a law. Minister MiqnePs
proposals, with some minor amendments
were to-day referred 10 committee.
The diet then adjourned sine die.
Diplomatic circles here are excited
over q report that the CzarewItch, during
his recent visit TO Vienna, paid marked
attention 10 Princess Marie Annuncl-
ade, daughter OF krchduke Carl Lud-
wig, brother Of Empefar Francis Jo-
seph. Princess Marie wilibe only sew

OF Austria, who had abstained from
taking part in every official function

Rudolph, was present at the two din
ners given In honor OF the CzarewItch.
The reluctance OF the Russian heir ap-
parent TO marry, which was greatly
troubling the Car. Is now believed 20
