Soon after tho army bill was put on It's
passage to-day. and after tho speaking
had commenced, II became certain that
the leaders OF tho opponents Of the gov.
ernment meant business and did not in
tend to let the measure be adopted In
pcrfunctory manner. Speaker after
speaker paid less attention TO attacking
or supporting the bill thcn TO railing at
his political opponents. The chancellor.

veins In his legs. listened to the discussion
FOR an hour and half and then disap-
pearcd from the house. II was learned
subsequently, that he left the house to SEQ
the emperor. Tho kaiser had become i'm

Tho chancellor returned 10 the house
and spoke privately to Won Levitxow, the
president and several members, with .

could got nothing but indefinite state
ments from this source, the emperor left
the building before the division was
taken.
The opposition organs contend this
evening that the majority OF Is in favor
of tho bill, 10 not large enough to cause
the government to exuit especially, as il
was won by the chancellor giving pledges
TO the agrarians and anti .emites. that
will certainly give him trouble To fulflll.
But the government. with reason, does
exult. while its opponents fail to conceal
their chagrin. vexation and disappoint'
ment was plainly manifested throughout
to-day's hostile speeches.
Tho emperor 10 delighted at the passage
OF the bill and rumor has Il that he will
