BERLIN, July :S.-Thes speeches that
were made for..andz against the army
bill i'll the reiehstag yesterday and to
day were of purely partisan cbarac-
ter, indicating nothing of the under cur
rents which may. ultimately guide the
votes of several parties. Each speaker
Indicated his programme and avoided
any reference to a compromise. Herr
Boeckel, who leads the democratic fac
ton of the Anti-Senites, for that small
party has not escaped division, in a
speech delivered today, suggested the
terms on which his half-dozen followers
would support Chancellor Won Caprivi.
The suggestions contained the idea that
If the terms were not granted the faction
would maintain its opposition and set
itsSface againstthe biT
The best speech made today was that
of DR.. Won Bennigsen, the National
Liberal leader, who. attacked the Cen
trists and Richterists. declaring that
they were defeating their own purposes
by the intensity of their hostility to the
government. These parties. ne said,
were rejecting
ConciIiatory, Proposals
and forsaking their best traditions by
demanding their own terms or nothing.
1t was this attitude that had led to The
political destruction of the Freisinnige
party, for which Eugene Richter was
responsible. The voters. DR.. Won Ben
Dlgsen added, had deserted Herr Rich
ter at the polls. Herr Richter was yery
angry at this allusion to the defeat of
the movement which he had led to al
most complete extinction. and made a
furious reply to DR.. Won BennIgsen.
He said. among other things, that moral
principles formed the sole standing
ground of the radical Peoples party.
and that the ultimate triumph of these
principles was assured, The defeat OF,
his party was, he claimed, but mo-
mentary.
Then Herr PRESS, an Alsatian. had
an inning of the old Style of denouncing
an increase OF the army. The increase
asked for by the government, he said,
was needless, and would place all. op-
presslve burden upon the people. His
speech was simply a repetition OF the
threadbare arguments
Against the Measure.
The obvious determination of a large
number of the members to be heard OH
the bill implies that the discussion will
last until the end of next week.
Wednesday next is the day for private
members motions. The Centrists will
then raise the question of the readmis-
sion of the Jesuits into Germany. The
Freisonnige papers persist in stating
that the governments support OF
or refraining from opposing this
ultra-montaine proposal will be
the price paid the Centrists
for their support of the BILL Both the
leaders and the government adherents
deny ha there is any compact. The
chancellor undoubtedly las majority
in favor of the bill without the Cen
trists. In the Hobbies today it was not
the JeSuits, but the taxation question
upon which the CentriSts declared an
arrangement for their support was pos
siole. While Herr Broeber proclaimed
mo compromise in the house, mem
berS of the Lieber wing of the party
stated in the lobby that If the chaneel-
lor pledged the government to cover the
Increase in the expenditures by prog
reSSlve imperial tax on incomes of over

for the BILL. Privately, they are angling
for deal, which is likely to be ar
ranged, giving the government large
majority. DIR. Lieber means to insist
that the bill 90 to committee, and this

ried Oh.
Length of the Session.
The session is certain to last longer
than was fret Tho No
tional Liberals have given notice of a
motion in regard to the distress caused
by the drought and also in regard to the
lack OF fodder wanted for the army
maneuvers. and to its limited supply in
the districts outside of those where the
maneuvers are to be held. The Rich
terists, with the members of the Volks-
partei, will propose the entire suspen-
sion of the import duties on fodder I'M
til May, 1894. The Socialists will sup
port this measure.
For the first time in the history of the
re elStag the Socialists have obtained the
Craftsmanship of. one of the permanent
| committees, Herr Auer being elected to
the position. Herr Singer, another So
cialiSt, has the vice craftsmanship of
! another committee. The Conservatives
have reelected Freiherr Won Manteuf-
fel; the Poles, Prince Ferdinand RadZi-
will, and the Centrists, Count HON.
pesch. presidents of their respective
groups. Liebermann Won 1Sonnemann
leads the Conservative section of the
anti-Semites.
The elections for members of the Ba-
varian landtag are proceeding. For the
first time the Socialists have captured
seats, two of their candidates having
been elected in Munich. They have
also won seats in Nuremberg, Augs-
berg and Bamberg, much to the amaze
Eent OF the opposing Glericals.
