! BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-There is little doubt
now that parliamentary conflict will oc-
cur during the session Of the Reichstag
over the naval budget. The government or
! gans have hitherto denied that large in
crease in the navy was intended and the
/ figures of the naval budget were so iuggled
! that it looked II the government demand
was not in excess OF those of former years.
| A searching analysis of the figures, how
ever, reveals the fact that the Reichstag
is really asked to sanction an increase OF
about 200. 900 marks. The bill asks that
this years expenditures be increased co.,
| 600 900 marks and the matter is so arranged
it is believed that the naval expenditures
of 10000 600 marks during each of the next
two years. These sums are not entirely
for the building OF new vessels, but are
also intended to provide for the expense
of manning them. In parliamentary circles
it is believed that the nava expenditures
of the next FIVE years will be largely in
creased If the Reichstag accedes to the pres
ent demands.
Emperor William, speaking recently OF
Admiral Won HOLMAN. secretary of the
navy. is reported to have said The ques-
tion Of bringing the German navy to
sufficient standard of efficiency not only
for defense but for aggression. is one Of
life or death for the nation, inasmuch as
| 1t involves grossachstellung OF Germany as
much as the state army does and whoever
| loves the fatherand will help to bring this
about, as the German navy is at present
wholly inadequate for its mission in the
| future" This imperial message is now
circulating in the Rechstag circles and is
much commented upon. 1t is certain no
majority will be found in the Reichstag
for these purposes, The centrists and the
entire radical wing are against 1t, which
gives an adverse majority Of about twenty.
During the week the government representa-
tves of the naval department have repeat
edly hinted in conversation with deputies
that the rejection OF the naval scheme
means the dissolving OF the Reichstag.
BISMARCK's EXPOSURES.
The revelations OF the hamburger Mach
richten will not after all be allowed to
pass without judicial inquiry. The Frank
fort Zeitung today carried out It's threat
and denounced the Hamburger Nachrichten
before the states attorney for high treason
and the Konigsberg Zeitung did the same.
Both actions are due to THESE two news
papers being prosecuted by the government
for ndiscretly publishing state news.
In the Diet the government, through DR..
MIGUEL the minister of finance, is asking
for a bill to enable it to use the yearly sur
plus, which this year is over 60,000,O00
marks in order to cover deficiencies in any
particular department. or to utilize 1t as a
contingent fund in the future. The liberals
and radicals are fighting this proposal as
a curtailment of parliamentary privilege
and as fraught with danger to the institu-
tlons OF the kingdom. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the government will get the bill
passed

childrens hospital, and Mr.. Willard was ap-
preached during his recent stay there. He

in its opinion of the results of the recent
American election. They are now express

ley's election means a furtacrance OF inter-
national bimetallism, and adding that they
are relying on the republican party to pro-
mote these ends, according to the pledges
in its platform.
