BERLIN. Nov. 26.-When the debate on the |
imperial budget opens in the Reichstag on |
Wednesday next some indication 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 5s5.OO0.UO0 marks, beng
IL, 100000 marks over the amount contained
in the last budget There is an almost unan-
imous feeling among the members Of the
Rechstag against proceeding with the army
bill until the governments financial projects
connected with the measure are fully dis
closed. The house will compel Chancellor
Won Caprivl to make an ex plicit statement
during the discussion of the general esti-
mates.
Keeping Their Plans Secret.
Until full official declaration is made of
the government plans for new taxation, COW
ering the extra expenditures, the leading
mcmbers of the Rechstag are retcent re.
garding the lines of attack or defense. In
the meantime, if the tone of the centrist
and national liberal organs was an infalla-
BILE guide the fate Of the army bill would
be settled. According to these organs, tho
measure will be defeated on its first reading.
Chancellor Won Caprivi wilt resign within
a fortnight and the Reichstag will be
dissolved soon after he leaves Office.
The elections for new members will END in
January and will result in stronger opposi-
tion than in the present house. Government
officials are confident that none of these pre-
dictions will be fulfilled. They say the bill
will be debated on December 5, and that it
will pass the first reading by a fair maiority.
Then it will be remitted to a committee. II
tho centrist party require that their sup
port be bought by the chancellor agreeing
not to oppose the centrist measure per-
mitting the return OF Jesuits to Germany
then a bargain will be struck. This would
bring the government seventy votes.
Return of the Jesuits.
Chancellor Won Caprvi, as recently as the
last session, opposed the centrists proposal
to repeal the law against the Jcsults, but
the party has chosen the right moment TO
bring pressure on the government. which
will surrender, and will neither oppose nor
support the bill, but will let the centrists
pass the measure with the assistance OF
the freisinnige party, the socialists and
the Poles, all of whom would vote
for the repeal of tie present
anti.Jesult law. Tho German people.
as whole, are Indifferent about
| the Jesuits, the presence Of a few hundred Of
| whom would not be felt by the country.
| About fifty centrsts who do not support
| the plans OF the remainder of the party viii
oppose the bill. The government has also
taken this into consideration, and the wrath
which will oe aroused among tho conserva-
| tives by the return Of the Jesuts
| will counterbalance the other considerations.
| Tho ministerial circle continues confident
| that the government will come victorious out
| OF the crisis.
| Among the leading measures that will be
submitted to the Reichs.ag is tho emigration
| bill, which was first published last spring as
a restrictive measure. This bill will aid the
| efforts of the American government 10 check
| Undesirable emigration. The cmperor's
social purity bill, which is called the Lex
Heinse, from the notorious Helnse case
which exposed the VICES OF Berlin, will now
be expedited toward Its passage. The en-
peror is greatly Interested in this measure
and he wants no delay in its bang made a
law.
