The beet speech made yesterday vas
that q DIR. Bennigssn. the national lib
eral leader. who attacked the ceutrists
and Richterista declaring that they
were defeating their OWL purposes by
the intensity al their hostility 10 tho
government. Thess parties. he said.
were rejecting conciliatory proposals.
and forsaking their best traditlonsl by
demanding their own terms or nothing.
IL wac this attitude that had led TO ths
political destruction OF the frelssinn ICE
party. for which Eugene Richter was
responsible.

herr Richter was very angry at this a.

which he had led 10 altnost complete ex-
tinction. and made y furious reply 10
DR.. Won BeInigsen- He said. among
other things. that moral principles
formed the sole standing ground OF the
radical peoples party and that the ulti-
mate triumph OF these principles were
assured. The defeat IL hia party Was.
he claimed. but momentary.
Then Herr Ahriss had an inning az
the ola style " denouncing an increase
of the army. The increase asked for by
the government. he said. was needless
and would place an oppressive burden
upon the people. tbs speech was
simply repetition OF the threadbare
arguments against the measure.
The obvious determination Of a large
number Of the members 10 he heard on
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 tine Jesuites into Germany. The
fressinnige papers presist In stating
that the governments support OF or re-
I framing from opposing this proposal
will be the price paid by the centrists
I for the support OF the bill. Both the
centrist leaders and the government
adherents deny that there is any com
pact
Won Caprivi Has n Majority.
The chancellor undoubtedly has a
majority ia favor of the bill without the
ccntrists. In the lobby yesterday il was
not the Jesuit. but the taxation ques-
ton upon which the centrists declared
an arrangement for their support was
possible.
While Herr Groeber proclaimed mo

the Liebsr wing II the psrty stated in
tho lobby that If the chancellor pledged
the government 10 cover the increase an
the expenditures by progressive i'm

bill. Privately they are angling for a
