MAY FORCE HIM FORWARD
PROBABLE THAT BISlLARCK WILL
AGAIN COME TO THE FRONT.


bill could not have excited Germany
more than the reichstag's refusal tocon-
gratulate Bismarck. The moment the
result of the vote was known DR.. Won
Boetticher hurried to the telephone and
told the emperor who was waiting, the
news inl the old castle. Herr Won Luca-
nus, 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 pic
ture, for when the emperor drove out
Unter den Linden between 8 and 4
o'clock he looked unusually sullen.
All officials likely to know the emper-
or's feelings agree that he was intensely
disturbed by the reichstag's exhibition
of itself. He is understood to have ex-
claimed at the end of Lucanus' nlarra-
tive:
ut is scandalous. The vote is a re-
fection on me, the government and all
the authorities and societies who will
unite in honoring Bismarck"
A peculiar feature of the whole affair
is the apparent Indifference or ignor-
ance with which the emperor and the
ministers, despite all unmistakable
warnings, again steered straight into
defeat. The emperor could hardly have
been igmorant of what everybody else
knew. He must have been informed
that on Thursday the socialists, Catho-
lies, Richter radicals and Poles had
formed a coalition to respect the Le-
vetzow motion. On the same day the
representatives of all parliamentary
parties had met and after the stormiesh
of debates had separated with mutual
declarations of defiance and reproach.
Herr Won Levetzow's finail efforts to
save l1ds motion were made ON Friday
He then tried to induce DR.. Lieber, the
clerical leader, to keep his party from
voting, but he failed to get any pledge,
although Lieber himself opposed the
extreme action of the rest of the Cath
olics.
The relations of the parties have been
more enabittered by yesterdays vote
than by any purely political differences
since the close of the kulturkampf Sew
eral deputies who favored the motion
regard the reichstag's decision as
personal affair and have approached
the ministers privately to urge tenn
porary suspension of the session looking
to dissolution in the near future. AL
readythe BismarckianS have been Joined
by other deputies, who apparently re-
gret their course in yesterdays proceed
ings and are anxious to efface the stig-
ma by taking part in demonstration
at F7riedrichsruhe.
The government attitude toward
demands for dissolution is distinct
Iy passive. A general election with
Bismarck for the rallying crowd would
commit the government body and soul
to the agrarian program and several
other points Of Bismarcl1ian policy for
which the emperor and his minister
have little liking.
Among the passionate appeals and de- |
with which the newspapers
have been loaded since yesterday there |
is ONE calm and carefully reasoned |
article which warns the admirers of the |
old chancellor not to go too far in
their indignation. 1t is in the Tage-
u,
hostile to the prince has been fair
with him and his friends in the last
years.
'It is timely to remind the German
says the writer, "that the
storm now let loose may bring to the
front again Prince Bismarcks power
full personality, working to the ends
which most of the parties cannot APP
l. At1.,r5 /
stand, the prince would now be more
Of disturbing than regulative influ-
ence in active politics."
The article quoted above appeared last
evening This morning the Tageblatt
returns to the subject thus:
eve admit that the confusion can be
ended only by the dissolution of the
reichstag. If the government decide
to appeal to the country it will have a
strong basis on which to make the
and win success"
The Kreuz zeitung says: "If har-
nony existed within the government the
ministers would answer this affront
With decree of dissolution We are
yure that the nation would give fitting |
The Vossische Zeitung QiberaD SAYS:
NO party ever can revert with pleas
ire to Saturdays proceedings. The
went probably will lead to a revolution
If the parties. Since the emperor has
spoken with sue deep indignation of |
he reichstag's action we should not be
urprised to learn that the federal coun-
Ill had been asked to agree to disso-
ution."
The Vorwarts( social democratic) says
nder the caption Nemesis" The vote
,gainst the Levetzow motion was the
,eoples judgment on the refractory
,ody of a politically dead man. 1t was
n act of justice. The people thereby
pronounced guilty before the world a s
nan who brought more misery upon the r
alton than anybody since Napoleon I. t
{ Prince Bismarck's friends venture r
o appeal to the nation they will get a '
onfirmation of the reichstag's verdict. L
he emperor had no right to speak as
e did in his dispatch to Friedrichsruhe,

After the emperor attended service to-
ay he had a long consultation with the j
rand duke of Baden and Chancellor S
