BERLIN. Nav 6-The army bill was re-
iected today in the reichstag by a vote OF
2lO agains. the bill TO 1872 in favor OF the
bill. The rescript signed by the kaiser
dissolving the reichstag was immediately
promulgated and the reichstag is now dis
solved.
Immediately upon the result of tho vote
being announced in the reichstag Chan
cellor Caprivi read the imperial message
decreeing the dissolution of the reichstag.
The social democratic members OF the
reichsteg displayed the widest enthusiasm
over the result. They hurrahed repeat
edlv. following cheer with cheer. Great
confusion and uproar prevailed in the
house, and the public excitement is at the
highest pitch in Berlin.
The last attempts at compromise having
failed, Chancellor Capriyi refused to sane
ton proposition to make the two years
active service permanent. The kaiser be-
came impatient Of further de,aY and
pressed for decision by the reichstag to-
day. Hence the vote was taken at once
instead of being postponed until Monday.
Thr failure of the army bill makes 1t ne
present his projected reform OF the higher
! military commands and OF the posts in the
war office, a project which Caprivi is said
| 10 drea d even more than he dreaded the
struggle over the army bill, knowing
that it ia very likely that there will
! be conflict over the changes which will
| involve the kaiser Caprivi himself and
! others whom the chancellor has no desire
| to antegOnl5e.
! Chancellor Caprivi has gone to Potsdam
| TO offer his resignation to the kaiser. The
kaiser has summoned Count Bolhovon
| Gutenberg. the Prussian premier. to Pots
dam. Count Bothovon Eu enberg took
| tho place OF Chaneel or Won Caprivi "a
| Prussian premier over d year ago whom
! Chancellor Caprivi resigned that Office,
owing TO the decision OF the kaiser 70 with
draw the educational bill from the Prus-
sian landtag.
No Surprise to the Kaiser.
The result Of the vote on the army bill
caused no surprise to the government.
| Chancellor Won Capriyi attempted yester-
day evening 20 "a y the wavering men,
bers 10 the support OF the measure by
Offering TO reduce The peace elective
even below the number proposed in tbs
amendment offered by FTeiherr Won
| Hueme The offer. however did not gain
a single vote. The house had made uD
its mind to reject the bill and the speeches
made on the subject were addressed
rather to the electors than the relchstag.
| The most striking feature o. the closing
/ debate wss tho resurgence OF Gnti-Prussian
sentiments, especially fs0m the speakers
] OF the cen er party.
Or iieber who is a leader in the coun-
! els OF his patty, after attacking Chan

| Neither Chancellor voa Caprivi nor Bar
on Won Manteuliel. the Prussian conserva-

| government size simply ignored this ex-
| pressions OF anti-Prussian sentiment
The chancellor commented vaguely
upon the democratic tendency that has
recently been developing among the
centrists. and suggested that the policy
now pursued by thst party had its in
SEPARATION in the vatican, which ne said
was now the friend oil republican France
and trying to draw the whole catholic
world in the same direction. The
German government, the chancel-

ciated the support OF the center
party on social questions. but it had now
| learned lesson. The center party was
catholic frs. and German afterward. The
party stood ready to commit itself TO

Won Bennigsen. the leader OF the national
! liberals, gave q moderate tone to the de-
bate in long speech. urging the house to
accept the concessions offered by the gov
