Future Turns on strength OF the
Centrum -kaiser's sulphuric DictiOn.
Special co6is Despatch TO THE SUN.
BFRLIN, Dec. H.-Public interest is con-
centrated on the question Of the compost
ton Of the Reiohstag which will be elected
at the end OF January. The Governments
action in dissolving the House 10 generally
supported, not because the people favor
SIS colonial policy, but because they arc
tired Of the long tyranny Of the Centrum.
Il Is seen that the real duel between the
Government and the Centrum will only
occur when the new Reichstsg meets. II.
as anticipated, the Centrum, which COM
mands three out Of the eleven million votes
composing the imperial electorate, returns
with undiminished number and becomes
allied with the Social Democrats It will be
strong enough at any time to upset the plans
Of the Government.
II. on the other hand II returns weakened,
IL is expected that a period Of reaction
against the autocracy will set In. which
win only accentuate the feeling Of pcs
sinism in the empire, arising chiefly from
discomfort with the heavy pressure Of
taxation and the agrarian tariff policy.
Consequently, whatever the result OF the
elections, grave dangers and a new and
much more serious crisis threaten the en-
pire's domestic peace.
Tho political parties are holding special
meetings to determine plans Of campaign
and to draft election msnifestos.
A passage in the Emperor's second tele-
gram to Chancellor Won Buelow, In which,
according TO the accepted though naturally
u~nprovable report, he said:
4 am resolved TO drvs the whole gang
20 HE'LL Is commented upon in general
terms by the newspapers, which for obvious
reasons do not produce the text. The
BerIiner Zsitunp remarks that the text
IL 30 drastic that It cannot possibly be pub
lished. The Socialist party Is delighted to
make use Of the text as another example
Of the Kaiser's disrespect for Parliament.
The Ceutrist organ, the Germdnid, ex-
presses the opinion to-day that the party
of the Centre is able 20 bear he re-
s~ponsibility for it's action in the Reichstag
yesterday. The Centrists do not desire
that the Government shall give up the
colony in southwest Africa but only insist
that It shall earnestly exert itself to stop
the waste Of money and men.
The Rundschdu says that the Govern

now il does not matter how the electoral
dice may fall.
Our victory" IL says. over the sneak
ing domination Of the Centre n the secret
collateral government is certain.
The Post says; AT last the confusion,
that like a frightful incubus has burdened
the spirits Of truly patriotic Germans, has
| come to an end, through manly and de-
termined action. The hour Of release is
striking
The Kreutx Zeituno concludes an article as
| follows: JOY! At last clear issues are
possible. Let all go to work. All sacrifices
| will be easy. Good luck to the fight"
The Vortrdrts says: I'VE do not fear
the consequences OF our policy. The Social
Democracy is perfectly ready to enter
the lists with the Government and all the
! reactionary parties. Among the latter
the Centre will be taught q much needed
lesson"
The National Zeituno congratulstes Chan
! cellor Won BueIow on his firm attitude and
says: 1T is necessary to follow the Chan
! ~cellor's lead, for liberty, the Imperial Gov
eminent, honor and the future Of the en-
| pire are at stake"
The Deutsche Tdosseituno says that the
Government at least has shown that it can
display energy IL the national interests
depend upon IL.
The TdgebIdn says: After years OF timid
vacillation the Chancellor displayed reso-
luton yesterday. He knew what was
wanted. There is now no turning back"
LONDON Dec. 1.-THE English CORE
s~pondents in Berlin do not profess to have
the ability to forecast the result OF the
| January elections or the immediate political
future Of Germany, but they generally
agree that the Government, 80 far as can
be calculated, has now little ground for
| optimism.
II is argued that the Centre Is not 80
much a political as a religious party, draw
ing It's strength from all the larger aggre-
rates OF population, from the land owners
| of Bavaria TO the proletariat Of the great
manufacturing towns OF the Rhine II
has hitherto, however, presented a solid
front. so it ia probable that the electors
voting Catholic before will vote Catholic
again. For the present they have accepted
oheerfully Chancellor o Buelow's chal-
lenge in declaring that clerical ism is the
enemy.
The Kaiser, says one correspondent, il
known to be almost beside himself with
disgust at the Reichstag's ~-effrontery" and
he is determined to emerge a victor from
the struggle which party obstinacy has
forced upon him. He returned TO Berlin
to-day and is attending to his usual socia
and official round of duty.
He dined this evening at the Italian En-,
bassy. Tomorrow at Potsdam he viii
welcome King Haakon and Queen Mauc
of Norway.
