Berlin, Dec. I'm contrast with yesterdays s
exciting debate on the motion for the return Of
the Jesuits, the proceedings in the Reichstag to-
day were rather quiet Only minor measures
were discussed. The House was almost empty
up to the time of adjournment. Interest in the
mixed voting on the motion for the return or
the Jesuits is still alive. An analysis shows
that the majority vote consisted of ninety-hVe
Centrists. almost the entire party; seventeen
Poles. six Alsatians, twenty-nine Socialists,
eight South German Democrats three men,
bers of the Bavaran deputation. two Radi-
cal Unionists, ten members of the Radical
Peoples party. Prince Won Hohenlohe, Conserv-
ative; IIirsche Anti-Semte ard Johansen'
Dane. The minority cannot be grouped so
statisticay being drawn from the Free Con-
servatives, the National Liberals. the Conserva-
tives, of whom thirty left the house when the
voting began. and the Anti-Semites Werner
and Bindewat, Anti-Semites declined to vote
when their names called. Among proni-
nent members voting with the minority were
Eugen Richter Heinrich Rickert and Count
Herbert Bismarck
The division on the motion for the return OF
the Jesuits cannot be described strictly
party lines During the regime Of Prince Bis
marck the tenacity with which he opposed the
revocation of the law Of expulsion, even after the
abatement of the Kulturkampf, prevented the
splitting Of the party groups on this question
When the proposal was last before the Reichs-
tag two years ago. Chancellor Won Caprivi un-
mstakably declared against the Centres mo-
ton Yesterday the Government held entirely
aioof from the debate Among the Government s
old supporters. the National Liberals. almost to
a man. voted against the motion, following their
traditions.
The sum Of the position is this: That the
Reichstag, having free play, shows changed
convictions, and that the Government. having
still TO negotiate for majorities on the COM
mercial treaties and financial reforms. may
find it reasonable no longer to oppose the repeal
of the law of expulsion In negotiating for
ma ajorities and also in dealing with the Vati-
can. Chancellor Won Caprivi obtains through
yesterdays vote a powerful advantage. 1t
rests with the Government whether the vote
shall be made effective by the Bundesrath
Dr. Theodor Barth writing in the "Wochen-
blatt" congratulates Germans upon winning
golden opinions in America by their exhibits at
the Worlds Fair He thinks that Germany's
exhibit made Emperor Williams name popular
throughout the United States.
The negotiations with France as to the
boundaries Of the CAMERON hinterand ana the
Anglo German agreement will begin on Monday.
The Foreign O1lce desires 10 HdiiOW tHt Vu'H-
ton to an examination to determine whether
the Anglo-German convention agrees in geo
graphical details with the international treaty
of December 1885,. The German representa-
tives will be Dr. Keyser. of the Colonial Office;
Professor Dauchmann. a student Of the country
round Lake Tchad. and Herr Kiepert, the car
tographer. France wishes to give matters a
diplomatic twist, and desires foreign arbitra-
ton of the dispute. The trouble Is complicated
by the demand of the Belgian Congo state
which claims territory bordering on Lake Tchad
France processes to have regarded her own
claims beyond dispute.
