Berlin, Sept. 23.-Apparenty with a desire to
associate the opening Of the Rechstag In the
new and splendid Parliament Building in Leip-
ziger-strasse with the Imperial House. the
Kaiser has ordered that the session begin on
November q. the anniversary Of the birth or
his mother-ex- Empress Frederick. The build
! of the edfce declare that II will be irnpos-
slbe to complete the nsid' decoration and other
work by the date mentioned. Part OF the work
is being done by contra t. and the men are work
ing night and day
1t is the expectation Of a majority OF the high
officials Of the Empire that the coming session
of the Rechstag will be dull. and that the Gov
ernment's proposals in reasing the naval esti-
mates will be accepted by the Chamber without
much opposition. The bills for this purpose are
the only which have yet been submitted
to the Bundesrath. There will be great deal
Of insurance legislation. and bills VIII be intro
duced regulating emigration reforming the code
Of criminal procedure. and dealing with the
question Of the taxation Of tobacco. The last is
the only measure over which there is likely 10
be any party contention.
The King Of Saxony. Prince Regent Luitpold
of Bavaria the King Of Wurtemberg and all the
heads OF the Federal Government will attend the
opening of the session in the new building: but
the urgent invitations OF the Emperor to Emperor
Francis Joseph. King Humber,. the Prince OF
Wales and several others have been declined Tor
various reasons.
The resolutions which will be submitted to the
coming Socialist Congress will show that the at
tontion of that party Is again occupied with the
question OF religion next in Importance To
that Of property. one OF the resolutions already
prepared af.irms that the Socialists have nothing
at all to do with religion. and an amendment
has been prepared declaring that Socialism means
the negatiOn OF all religion. In regard 10 property
a resolution will be introduced declaring that the
ownership Of property is theft and an amendment
this resolution will be Offered demanding
the abolition Of private ownership in land. This
demand, however, IS aimee only at the big land
owners. a clause in the amendment declaring
that the small landholders ought not to be dis
turbed.
Prince Bismarcks speech at Varzin last sun
day has called attention 10 the movements ot
leaders in Prusslan and Austrian Poland. dis
tincty pointing out the fact that there Is in cX-
istence concerted agitation with the object OF
keeping the Poles as united race before the
world. The Empercr's faVorite, Baron Won
koscieski. whom TIE Kaiser recently promoted
to the Herrenhaus. in a speech on the occasion
Of the Lemberg fttes declared that Poland could
not be divided. no matter how she was made to
appear on the maps Separation, he said'
'.pains our hearts. lrit It does not destroy fo-
lish organism. We VIII always be nation o,
one blood our hearts beating In unison. = This
utterance taken together with the friendly re-
copton recently gwen TO deputation OF Poles
by Emperor Francis Joseph and the declaration
made few days ago 10y Dr. Wekerle. the
Hungarian Premier, in regard 10 the historic
career OF the hungarian end Polish cavalier
causes the question TO be asked; what does ~
ali mean?
The ''Freisnnge Zeitune" recalls the fac; that

lish language and religious teaching in the Po
