BERLIN, November 1s.-The reas-
scmbling 81 the Reichstag Tuesday
caused hardly ripple on the surface
o! political life. II seems that neither
the Reichstag nor the Government is
anxious for conflict over the pending
measures concerning which there Is
much heated difference of opinion.
The movement to increase the navy
has not lost its vigor. The agitation
started by the Emperor is being skill
fully managed. Captain Won Heeringen
Of the Berlin Ministry. who has done
most of the literary work connected
with the matter. has. by the Emper
ors orders, published pamphlet argu-
ing powerfully for the necessity for a
large navy. BY liberal Use OF parallel
columns he shows that the navy should
at least be doubled in order 80 accom-
plish its proper work. The Emperor's
affection for this naval officer was
shown when. speaking to a naval at
rache of a foreign power, he said
"Heeringen is my Captain Mahan."
Captain Heeringen has gone TO Mu
mich to explain to the Prince Regent Of
Bavaria, the features Of the naval plan
and it's necessity. He also goes on the
same mission to Stuttgart, Carlsruhe
and Dresden. In the meanwhile the
sentiment of the nation in favor Of the
plan is steadily growing and the bulk
of the press is apparently being con-
WINGED. A number of popular move
ments in support Of the plan are being
arranged including one for lectures in
al, the important cities under the
auspices OF a score of the most promi-
nent persons. Among the lecturers who
have offered their services are Admiral
Werner and Professors Wagner and
Schneider. the papers are filed with
communications from all sorts and con-
ditions of people advocating the in
crease. In one of these in the kreuse
Zeitung. Count Won Riechenbach says:
1t is only necessary to vote as he bids"
As a matter OF fact, the movement
may be said to have won even before
the Reichstag has anything to do with
1t. This Is shown by the fact that all
the navy yards are working to the ut
most and that new shipyards are being
started at BakeemQen. The Vulcan
works have established a branch al
Gesstemund 1t is said in naval circles
that the consent of the Reichstag has
not been waited for, as 1t Is assumed
the Emperor's plan will pass. The Vor-
waerts decisively says: "The Krupps
while protesting great patriotism, have
not scrupled to make enormous con
tracts for the construction of new navy
yards in Russia, being assured of an
annual profit OF 81 600, 900 rubles by the
Russian Government. The same firm
also sold the United States, through the
Carnegies, the latest and best stee
plates, which have been found better
than the HarveyiZed. This" the Vor-
waerts remarks, shows a wonderful
combination of business and patriot
ism"
The Officeuse Post reproduces from
American papers statements that the
strengthening of the United States
naval resources at Manila Is intended
for the purpose OF supporting Great
Britain in the Far East. The Post as
serts that the statements are trust
worthy, and says that the recent de-
malls of Administration speakers in the
West are not worthy of consideration.
The papers here assert that the re-
suits OF the Philadelphia congress are
nil. The correspondence OF the Cologne
Gazette TO this effect is widely pro-
duced. The papers also claim that Ger
many must have more colonies, and say
IL Is nonsense to maintain that the
earth Is divided up, as new division
is impending In colonial possessions.
The Netherlands colonies are pointed
10 as among those that cannot mucn
longer be kept from a new division,
saying that the candidates for
these rich colonies are Great Britain
and Germany. adding that the latter
has the better chance
