BERLIN Feb. 4.-Chancellor Won CapriVrs
Parliamentary dinner to morrow evening viii
be q grand function. attended not only BY all
the Cabinet Ministers. but also by an unusual
number OF imperial deputies. Members OF the
Opposition say that the dinner will mark the
climax OF the Chancellors career as within q
month Gen. Freiherr Won Loe. strong Bis
MARKHAM with an ARrarian policy. will replace
him. without doubt Loe enjoys the friendship
OF the Emperor although not concealinR his
bias toward the old Chancellor but In desie-
mating him as the immediate successor TO the
Chancellorship the Conservatives simply show
the party's utter lack OF capable men whom
they could select to lead the i'm perial Govern

reputation as a statesman. He has the En-
pcror's esteem. but that esteem concerns
chiefly his abilities as n soldier Nothing
seems to open tho eyes OF the Conservatives to
tho fact that their violent attacks upon Caprivi
tend to strengthe his official position.

commercial treaty in the Reichstag. The En-
peror who feels that his personal policy has
been censured through the asperslons cast on
the Chancellor. has intimated his intention 10

to dispel the Conservative delusion that he
cares less for the fate Of the treaty than does

that the Conservatives. II once thoroughly
convinced OF the Emperor's approval OF the
treaty. would moderate their opposition.
Apart from any results likely to arise from
the Emperor's personal influence the Govern
ment can recko on on obtaining thirty majority
for the treaty.

between Russia and Germany will be restored
