ALL GERMANY RAISES A HOWL.
THE REICHsTAG COMING IN FOR
WIDESPREAD CENsURE,

Vote Among the POssibiIities-Tbe
Emperor Incensed at the Reich
stays ActiOn-The Government.
However, on Its Guard Against Be-
ing Dragged Into a BismarcLiaD
Hurrah.
Berlin, March 24.-The loss of an army
bill could not have excited Germany
more than the Reichstag's refusal to
congratulate Prince Bismarck. The mo-
ment the result of the vote was known
DR.. Won Boetticher hurried to the tele-
phone and told the emperor, who was
waiting the news in the old castle. Herr
Won Lucanus, chief of his majesty's civil
cabinet, went directly from the imperial
box to the castle and described to the
emperor the scenes of tumult in the
Reichstag. He must have given a very
vivid picture, for when the emperor drove
out Inter den Linden. between 3 and 4
o'clock he looked unusually sullen.
All of those likely to know the emperor S
feelings agree that he was intensely dis
turbed by the Reichstag's exhibition of
itself. He is understood to have exclaimed
at the end of Herr Won Lucanus' narra-
tive: ut is scandalous. The vote is a re-
hecuon on me, the government and all
the authorities and sociues will unite in
honoring Prince Bismarck"
A peculiar feature of the whole affair
is the apparent Indifference or ignorance
with which the emperor and the minis
ters, despite all the unmistalzable warn
ings, again steered straight into defeat.
The emperor could hardly have been ig-
norant Of what everybody else knew. He
must have been informed that on Thurs
day the socialists. Catholics, Richter radi-
calls and Poles had formed a coalition to
reject the Levetzow motion. On the same
day the representatives of all the parlia-
mentary parties had met and after the
stormiest of debates had separated with
mutual declarations Of defiance and re-
proach. Herr Won Levetzow's final ef-
forts to save his motion were made on
Friday. He then tried to Induce DR.. Lie
ber the clerical leader. to keep his party
from voting, but he failed to get any
pledge, although Herr Lieber himself op-
posed the extreme action of the rest of
the Catholics.
The relations of the parties have been
more embittered by yesterdays than by
any purely political differences since the
close of the Kulturkampf. Several dep
uties who favored the motion regard the
kelchstag's decision as personal affair,
and have approached the ministers pri-
Vately to urge a temporary suspension
OF the session looking to a dissolution
in the near future. Already the Bis
marcEdans have been Joined by other
deputies who apparently regret their
course in yesterdays proceedings and are
anxious to efface the stigma by taking
part in demonstration at Freidrichs-
ruhe.
The governments attitude toward the
demands for a dissolution is distinctly
passive, A general election with Prince
Bismarck for the rallying cry would COM
nit the government body and soul to
the agrarian programme and several other
points OF Bismarckian policy for which
the emperor and his ministers have little
liking. Among the passionate appeals
ana denunciadons with which the news
papers have been loaded since yester-
day noon there is one calm and care
fully reasoned article which warns the
admirers of the old chancellor not to
go too far in their Indignation 1t is
IN the Tageblatt, which, although once
bitterly hostile to the prince, has been
lair with him and his friends in the
last year 1T is timely to remind Ger
man politicians" says the writer that
the storm now let loose may bring to
the front again Prince Bismarcks pow
ertuI personality, working to ends which
most of the parties cannot approve We
believe that as matters stand, the prince
would now be more of a disturbing than
regulative influence in active politics"
The article quoted above appeared last
evening. This morning the Tageblatt re-
turns to the subject thus: I'VE admit that
the confusion can be ended only by the dis
solution of the Reichstag. If the govern
nent decided to appeal to the country it
VIII nave a strong basis to make the
campaign and win success
The Feudal Kreuz Zeitung says to-day:
II harmony existed within the govern
ment, the ministers would answer this
aHront with decree of dissolution. We
are sure that the nation would give a
hitting response"
The Vossische Zeftung, liberal. SAYS:
NO party ever can revert with pleasure
70 Saturdays proceedings. The event
PROBABLY will lead TO a revolution of the
parties. Since the emperor has spoken
win such deep indignation of the Reich
slag action, we should not be surprised
20 learn that the federal council had been
asked to agree to a dissolution"
me Norwaerts, social democratic, says
under the caption, Nemesis" '@The vote
against the Levetzow motion was the
people S judgment on the refractory body
ol politically dead man. 1t was an act
Justice. The people thereby pronounced
guilty before the world man who brought
more misery upon the nation than any
Dody since Napoleon !. II Prince Bis
marck' s friends venture to appeal to the
ndtlon, they viii get confirmation of the
Relchstag's verdict. The emperor had
no right to speak. as he did in his dis
patch to Freidrichsruhe, in the name Of
me German people"
Herr Won Levetzow's resignation pre-
sents another partisan problem which
ian hardly be settled without bad blood
mere will be a warm struggle for his
pace, as well as for that of DR.. Buer-
Kun, the retiring second vice president.
Dlerleals fill both places temporarily
Irelherr Won Buol-Bernburg, as first vice
president, is the acting president ahd
COUNCILLOR SPAIN was chosen ten
uays ago to serve temporarily in the
pace Of DR.. Buerklin, who had the in
