on the army bill was presented to tho
Relchs,ag "A few days ago, Won Lovet.
cow, president, proposed that the de.
bate open on Tuesday. The leaders OF
the different groups concurfed that
four'days would suffice for the discui-
sion, 10 week hence the fate of tho
bill Will be settled. Today Won Caprivi
caused to perGulate into the Hobbies
Information TO this effect that the gov
erument would cause the second read
Ing Of this bill TO be- postponed, presume
ably because the emperor desires TO he
present In Berlin on the eve VI the dis-
solution VI this Reichstag.
Even Mt tho last hour Chancellor
Won Capriyl has, with no apparent
chance OF success, mnde fresh over
lures for the support IL the centrist
leader, Count Won Balestrem. through
Major Hininger HuGnce, another
Prominent member OF that party. IL n
reported that the law IL reinforced by
letters from Cardinal LedochOwlsk
project Of this propaganda, urging tho
center party TO try to come TO terms
with the government on the bill.
TneIe is no doubt, however, that the

the history Of the reichstag. The CONF
miltee appointed to examine the docu-
mcnis submitted by Ahlwardt In

ton he made held IA plenary meeting
today to discusa the report. NOtwith-
htarding the disclosures tf the forgery
OF the documents introduced, ALL
wardt remained callous anu unabasbed
anu declined TO withdraw the
charges. The committee delegated
DR.. Portscb and Herr Bebel
TO confer with Ahlwnrdt privately,
but the conference did not result In
anything, Ahlwardt declining TO with
draw from thu attitude he had taken.
DR.. Lieber urged the committee 10

the committee yesterday with rent In
his clothing. Lieboi's allusion TO this
circumstance was Infamous. The
chairman OF the committee called
Ahlwardt to order. The latter re-
peated the expression, whereupon the
whole committee arose. AhlwaIdt
hurled abusive epithets at them coll

not remain TO be insulted. DR.. Miguel
proposes to bring criminal action
against Ahlwarut, anu the Reichstag
