BERLIN. Dec. .2-Ths vote in ths rsish-
stag In favor Of rssdmitting Jssuits ID the
sensation Of tho week. not only In Cor
many. bot throcghous the Catholic world.
In the kulturkampf struggle Bismssck
always poured his full vials OF wrath upon
the Jssuits. and 40 esrnel for himself tbs
opposition Of German Catholics. Since
that time the pope and emperor have be-
como rsconoiled, and the position 10 much
changed. Though according to the oalou-
lations Of newspapers the bill ought TO
have been rejected, their sntioipations wsro
falsi6sd by the votes OF indif erent mem-
bers who believe there 10 nothing more to
DO feared from tho interference Of the vat
lean In political affairs. II would seem
that majority Of representative Germans
have ooms to the conclusion that the poliov
OF tho vatican 10 no longer that
of Interference in the political strug-
giles Of different parties at homo and
abroad, and should ths vatican At any fu-
ture time use its inausnce In the POLITICAL
affairs Of Germany. By leaning towards the
Franco Russian entente for instance. II 10
believed representatives Of Co many IN the
reichstaR would remain Ioyal>to the father
land, and such action upon the part of the
vatioan would have no effect uron Catholic
Germany other than cause them to dis
countenancs the interference, of the church
i1 the political situation.
The governments has not yet given nny in
dioation of its intention In regard to the
Jesuit motion, and though it is almost GER
tain no immediate effect will be given to
the vote, the power TO dose will remain in
the hands OF Chancellor Won Caprivi as .
useful resolution should he desire to at
tempt to bring about more cordial relations
with the vatican. with the view possibly Of
allie tnatinc the pops's partiality for France.
Another inducsment which might cause
the government to accept tho bill would be
that it would do much to reduce tbs clcav-
age which manifested itself during the
army bill debates between north and south
Germany. asss as .,.sstsy rs
The reichstag committee to which tho
commercial treaties we're referred last Sat.
urday to-day approved the Spanish treaty
by a vote Of fifteen to six. Tho majority
was unexpectedly large and insures the
adoption Of the Servicn treaty. motion
by the agrarian party that the treaty be
concluded for three years only was mega.
sived by the committee having the treaties
under consideration.
The commercial trenty committee strongly
advised tho government to mako special
concessions to Cuba and Porto Rico on ac-
count OF the American reciprocity treaty
giving them advantages in iron and manu-
factured goods. and making German COM
petition almost impossible. 1t il stated
that the Polish party, departing from pre- :
vioua declnrations, has decided TO vote in
favor OF the treaties. and AS over one half
the centrists also support the treaties it is
believed tho Roumanian commercial treaty
will a SO b. adopted.
The agrarians do not abandon hope OF
being able TO undermine Won Caprivls
position and estran9e him from the EN-.
peror. The Krsuz ZsitunR mukes what is
olsssed ns moan attack VI on Caprivi for
having. as 1t alleges. made himself the
chief figure before the public in the infer
nal machine affair by only incidentally
mentioning the danger to which the en-
pero; was exposed. It 10 needless to say
the imputation is unfounded and will have
! no effect upon the emperor's mind. Rather
than dispense with Capriyi. the emperor
would again dissolve the reiohstag.
