BERLIN. July AT to-day's session Of
the rsichstag. Crober spoke against the
army bill In the name OF the central
party. Tho centerists, he declared. are
firmly opposed to the bill. All newly
elected representatives Of the party are
pledged against il. From military point
OF view the bill is needless; from an eco-
nomical standpoint IL 10 ruinous. II
would he better for tho government to
enter into an organic federation with
Austria than to increase the army super.
huously. Tho present governments
game to secure a mousetrap ina ajority was
undignified.
Boeckel, anti-se semite, said that the
members of that party would only vote for
the bill on condition that the costs be COW
cred by taxos cxacted only from the rich.
To secure the anti-Semite support, Caprivi
must declare that the government would
not increa Sc the indirect food tax. Boeckel
declared that the antiSemites would
strive to abolish the possibility OF the
heaping up of enormous fortunes like
those possessed by the Rothchilds and
Bleichroedcrs. He added that the bill
must be the absolute conclusion Of tho
increase of arms. II it were not, emigrs-
grafton from Germany would increase.
Caprivi reiterated the statement he
made yesterday that nj present II 10

Boeckel to trust the governments hon.

The speeches made for and against the
army bill in the reichstag yesterday and
to-day were Of . purely partisan charac-
ter. indicating nothing of the undercur-
rents which may ultimately guide the
votes Of the several parties. Each speaker
indicated n known programme and
avoided any reference to . compromise.
The obvious determination Of q large
number Of members TO he heard on the
bill, implies that the discussion will Last
until the end Of next week.
Wednesday is the next day for private
members motions. The eentrists will
then raise the question Of the re-admis-
sion Of Jesuits into Germany. The Freis-
innige papers persist in stating the gov
| .rpment's concession for tho centrist sup-
port and In rsfraining from opposing the
plan that this proposal b the price paid
the csntrists for their support OF the bill.
Both the centrist leaders aud the govern
mont adherents deny that there is . com
pact.
Chaueelt, csntrist. declared In the lob
bies to-day that u WAS not tho Jesuit but
the taxation question upon which the cen
trists had declared an arrangement for
this support to bs possible. While Herr
Croeber proclaimed no comprornise In the
house, members Of the Lieber wing OF the
party. stated IN the lobby that. IL the chan.
csilor pledged the government to cover
the increase in expenditures by . pro-
gressive imperial tax on incomes Of over
l2.0O marks, the centrists would vote for
the bill. Privately, they arc angling for .
deal which is likely TO be arranged, giving
| the government . large majority. Dr..
Lieber means to insist that the bill GO to
the committee and this will give time for
the negot tiations to bs carried on.
