Copyrighted. 1899 by the Associated Press.


BERLIN. Dec. 9.-Next Tuesday will be
great day in the Reichstag. The budget
debate will open and Count Won Bulow
Will make full presentation of the pres
ent status of Germany's foreign policy.
He will dwell particularly on Samoa and
the Transvaal and will frankly acknowI-
edge the high value he attaches to the
fully established cordial understanding
between Germany, the United States and
Great Britain. He will also show the alb
solute need OF powerful navy. The
Reichstag will give Count Won Bulow fiat
terinS evidence of its confidence. The en-
suing debate will be most interesting.
Information which is considered conclu-
slVe shows that the abolition OF the anti
coalition paragraph of the political asso-
Citations law has produced a serious rup-
ture between the Emperor and the Gov
ernment and the Right anoConservative
parties, which IL is acknowledged were
foiled in an attempt to GUST Prince Hohen-
lohe.
Another interesting result is that DR..
MIGUEL, who until a few months ago
welded the greatest influence within the
Cabinet over the Emperor Is now def
nltely disgraced 10 the extent that the
Emperor declines to confer personally
with him, but uses DR. Lucanus. chief OF
the civil Cabinet, as a go-between; DR..
Miguel has not yet lost all hope, and as a
last remedy to gain favor he proposes to
create a new working majority In the
Prussian Diet, which convenes on jan
and Center and winning the latter by
motion To restore the paragraphs in the
Prussian constitution which were oblit-
Grated during the Kulturk kampu, giving
the Catholic and Evangelical churches in
Prussia full control of church property.
II DR.. Miqueis statement is true. he in
tends TO pass the canal bill, but the En-
peror just now has lost interest in this
measure his Majesty's thoughts being en-
tirely engrossed with his naval project,
toward which all his energies are directed
Prince Hohenlohe has persuaded the EN-
peror that he can pass the most important
measures in the near future without the
stubborn Right.
IL is not too much TO say that President
McKinley's message will have a lasting
effect in cementing American-German
friendship. a pronounced cordial and
amicable tone toward the United States
has become general in the German press.
Count Won Bulow's frank words TO the As
sociated Press on the subject have been
since supplemented by similar words he
has made to German papers, the most re-
markabe being in the Neuste Nachrich-
ten, in which he reviewed the traditional
friendly relations since Frederick the
Great; mentioned the blood affinity and
the reciprocity of culture: spoke in praise
of the United States attitude in settling
the Samoan troubles. in permitting cable
laying and in the conclusion of the parcels
tries on the removal of the friction grow
ing out Of the trouble with the insurance
companies and expressed the hope that
the remaining commercial differences
would be settled through mutual good
