Herr Biokonil Invites a Bid for the
Six Votes BE Controls-Dr. Won Ben
nigsen Attacks the Centerists and
Richterists for Defeating Their own
Purposes by the Intensity Of Their
Hostility TO the Government.
Berlin, July S.-The speeches that were
made for and against the army bin in the
Reichstag yesterday and to-day, were of
very partisan character, indicating
nothing Of the undercurrents which ulti-
mately guide the votes of parties.
Each speaker indicated his known pro-
gramme and avoided any reference to
a compromise. Herr Becl1onil, who leads
the democratic faction of the anti-Se-
mites, for the small party has not es-
capped division, in a speech delivered to-
day suggested terms on which his half
dozen followers would support Chancellor
Won Caprlvl. EThe suggestion contained
the idea that If its terms were not
granted the faction would maintain its
opposition and set its face against the
bill.
THE PARTIES TOO EXACTING.
The best speech made to-day was that
of DR.. Won Bennigsen, the national
liberal leader, who attacked the centrsts
and Richterists, declaring that they were
defeating their own purpose by the in
tenslty of their hostility to the govern
ment. These parties, he said, were re-
Jectlng conciliatory proposals and forsak-
ing their best traditions by demanding
their terms or nothing. 1t was this atti-
tude that had led to political destruction
of the freisinnge party, for which
Eugene Richter was responsible. The
voters, Herr Won Bennigsen SAID, had de-
serted Herr Richter at the polls.
Herr Richter was angry at this allUsion
to the defeat of the movement which he
had led to almost complete extinction and
made furious reply to Herr Won Ben
nlgsen. He said, among other things,
that moral principles formed the sole
standing ground of the radical peoples
party, and that the ultimate triumph of
these principles was assured. The de-
feat of his party was, he claimed, but
mOmentary.
AN INCREASE OPPOSED.
Then Herr Apriss had an inning of the
old style of denouncing an increase of the
army. The increase asked for by the
government, he said, was needless and
would place an oppressive burden on the
people His speech was simply repeti-
tion of the threadbare arguments against
the measure.
The obvious determination of a large
number of members to be heard on the
bill implies that the discussion will last
until the end of next week.
READMIssIoN OF THE JEsUITs.
Wednesday next is the day for the
| private members meeting. The centerists
will then raise the question Of the read
mission of the Jesuits into Germany The
freisinnge papers persist in stating that
the governments support of or refrain
ing from opposing this ultramOntane pro-
poSal will be the price paid the centerists
| for support of the bill. Both the centerist
leaders and the government adherents
deny that there is any compact. The
chancellor undoubtedly has a majority in
favor of the bill withoufthe centerists. In
the lObbies to-day it was not the Jesuit
but the taxation question upon which
the centerists declared that an arrange
ment for their support was possible.
While Herr Groeber proclaimed mo
Compromise" in the house, the members
of the Lieber wing of the party stated in
the lobby that if the chancellor
pledged the government to cover
the increase in expenditures by a pro
gressiye imperial tax on incomes OF over
1900 marks the centrists would vote for
the bill. Privately they are angling for
a deal which is likely to be changed, Civ
ing the government large majority.

go to committee and this will give time
for the negotiations to be carried on.
LENGTH OF THE SESSION.
The session is certain to last longer than
was at first expected. The national lib
erals have given notice of a motion in re-
gard to the distress caused by the bill,
and also in regard TO the lack of fodder
wanted for the army maneuvers and
to its limited supply in districts outside
of those where maneuvcrS are to be
held The Richterlsts, with the members
of the Volkspartei, will propose the en-
tire suspension of import duties on fodder
until May 1894. The socialists will sup
port this measure.
The elections for members of the Ba-
varian landage are proceeding For the
first time the socialists have captured
seats, two of their candidates having
been elected in Munich. They have also
won seats in Nurnberg, Augsburg and
Hamburg, much to the amazement of the
oppOsiting clerlcals.
NOT GOING TO NORWAY.
The emperor has abandoned his pro-
posed trip to Norway. The conflict of the
Norwegian radicals against the govern
ment is approaching dangerous climax.
After 'decreeing the exclusion of the
Swedish cOlors from the natiOnalefag, a
majority of the stOrthing now refuses to
vote for a consular service unless their
demands for consular representation for
Norway be acceded to-
The Stockholm Allehandau, an official
paper, says that the refusal will provoke
a conflict between Norway and Sweden,
and recommends an Immediate discussion
of the position by an extraordinary Ses-
sion of the Swedish diet.
