to help oienr away the wreck made away
with several kegs of beer from the debris
and cached them in the brush near by.

BERLIN, March 18.-Before the final vote
on the army bill in committee left the GOV.
ernment face to face with definitely hos
tile majority, Won Caprivi had conferences
with Huehne Ricksrt. BsnniQssen and
Lieber. chiefs of the parties represented on
the committee. The negotiations left the
government and committee more hostile
than ever toward each other. Only the
conservative and free conservative mem-
bers of the committee supported the bill.

they largely conceded the governments de-
mands. az he did tho propasal OF Lieber.
which conced nothing. The report of the
committee will bo submitted to the reich
stag after Easter. Every indication now
points to the reichstag supporting tho oom-
mittee. The determined attitude OF the
chancellor proves that Emperor William
has resolved to take an extra step. II is
now expected the reichstag will be dis
solved at the end of April.
The closing speeches in tho COMMITTEES
had pronounced election character. The
national liberals would be in opposition al
the general election, and Bsnningssen, who
is now provisional preaident of Hanover,
would have to resign his rost. But the
question is, Is dissolution inevitable2 The
emperor must fl,st obtain the assent of the
bundssrath, or federal council, the Bavar-
ian and Saxon membsrs of which are known
to be absolutely hostile to an appeal to the
country, preferrinR the withdrawal of the

empsror's demand for dissolution of the
reichstag, Won Caprivi must resign. II dis

ing of the committee promised the govern
mont the united support of the conserya-
tives, but Mirbaoh Manteuffel, and other
prominent conservatives are already threat
eninQ to desert the government unless the
chancellor's commercial treaty policy ia
abandoned. Amid the complications of the
electoral contest some nationals would op-
pose, while othern would support the gov
ernment. Some conservatives, in the event
of IN appeal to the country. will ask for the
support OF electors mainly on an anti
