The negotiations left the Government and the committee more hostile than ever towards each other. Only the Conservative and Free Conservative members of the com- mittee supported the bill.‘ The Chancellor gave as resolute a rejection to Herr Bennig- sen’s compromise proposals. though they largely conceded the Government’s de- mands, as he did to the proposal of Herr Lieber, which conceded nothing. Herr Lie- ber’s proposal, about which much mystery has been maintained, showed that the Cen- ter party had no desire to further treat with the Government. His proposal was practically the submission of a new bill pro- viding for the maintenance of the present peace effective with a reduced term of ser~ vice, the Government having the option in the event of emergencies to retain in active ‘ service the men who had served their term. The report of the committee will be sub- mitted to the Reichstag after Easter. Every indication now points to the Reichstag sup- porting the committee. The determine atti- tude of the Chancellor proves that Emperor William has resolved to take an extra step. It is now expected that the Reich- stag will be dissolved at the end of April. The 0103 ng speeches in the committee had a pronounced election character, being less directed to criticism of the hill than to at- tacks upon the Government. Herr Richter declared the rejection of Herr Bennigsan’s compromise was an event in the light of which the whole political situation was thrown into clear relief. It was proof that there was no possibility to deal with a Government behind which was an imperious will. All the parties, he said, might now combine in defence of constitu- tionalism against. absolutism. Herr von Bennigsen denounced the stand made by Chancellor von Caprivi as pre- cluding all hope of an arrangement. and as- suring the certainty of shipwreck to the bill. He declared that the obstinacy of the Government would precipitate a general election. \Vere the ministers aware, he asked, of what dissolution implied? It would bring about the wildest scenes of political confusion and would cause disor- ders hitherto unknown to the German electors Herr Bennigsen warned the Gov- ernment that they had no chance to rally the country to their side. They could rely upon no party except the Cons-en's. tives, and not even the Conservatives un- less they made terms with the agrarian faction. Then Freiherr von Buol-Berenberg, a. Centrist, posed as an advmate of financial retrenchment, repeating all the old argu- ments an that question. Chancellor von Caprivi rightly character- iZed the Centrist proposals as the negation of the object of the bill. Herr Bennigsen’s proposal he rejected on the ground that the Federal GOVernments must adhere to the complete scheme of reorganization sub- mitted to the Reichstag. The Chancellor held that the reiterated appeal to the Government to consider the buidens upon the Empire Was insulting, and he declined to reply to Herr Bennigsen‘s predictions about the results of the committee’s refusal l to pass the bill. Finally the Chan- ‘ cellor tried to defend the action of the Government as entirely constitutional. He resented Herr Richter’s remarks about ahsolutism and suggested that he might yet obtain the support of the National Liberals. Nothing, however, seems to justify this suggestion unless the (low-mment’s policy is modified. The National Liberals would be in opposition at a general election, and Herr Bennigsen, who is now Provisional Presxdent of Hanover, would have to re- sign his post. But the question is, is disso- lution inevitable? The Emperor must fiistob- tain the assent of the Bundesrath or Federal Councnl, the Bavarian and Saxan members 1 of which are known to be absolutely hos- tile to an appeal to the country, preferring the withdrawal of the Army bill. If the Bundesrath refuses the Emperor’s demand for the dissolution of the Re chstag, Chan- .1 cellor von Caprivi must resign. 1f dissolu- tion occurs the outlook for sll parties is perplexing. â€" . I e VIOLENT POLITICAL CONTEST SEEMS IMMINENT. Herr von Kleist-Retzow at. yesterday’s meeting of tho cpmmittee promised the Government. the united support. of the Con- servatives. He spoke with too much an- surance. Herren Mirbach, Mantoutfel and other prominent. Conservatives are already threatening to desert the Government un- less the Chancellor’s commercial treaty policy is abandoned. ‘ A:AÂ¥, ,b ‘_ -IAALA-g‘ 'IVIIVJ -. wvfiuv. Amid the complications of an electoral contest some of the Nationals would oppose while others would support the Gorernment. Some of the Conservatives in the event of an appeal to the country will ask for the support of the electors mainly on the anti-Jewish platform. Others will stand as purely Government candidates. The Freisinnige, Centre and Socialist parties with their clearly defined platforms would probably reappear in the Reichstag so reinforced as to com- pel the Emperor to yield or raise a. momentous contest between the monarch and Parliament. The last words of Heir Bunnigsen pointed to these issues. If the Government, he said, persisted, Germany ‘liad reason to drcnd that she would be l throwu into conflicts of such immeasurable consequences that it would be doubtful if the present generation would ever again see a settled condition of public life. The lâ€"‘teichstag Commission to which the measure was referred has passed the bill relating to spies and to high treason. It applies to spies upon fort works, arsenals, War ships, eta, and fixes the penalty upon conviction at from two to five years’ im- prisonment, to which may be added a. fine of from 1500 to 5000 marks.

Ll'v nu -._ -_ V ,, In oiliciul circles there is considerable tslk about the advxsability of the Emperor formally calling upon the masses to rally round him and return deputies who will ac- Cept his guidance without question. Such an unusual course undoubtedly would re- sult 'm the disillusiouiug of the Emperor as to the regard which people feel towards him. From William First a. personal appeal to the people, especially in view of Prince Bis- marck’s endorsement of it, would have had enormous influence. and its object would have been approved by the vast majority of the voters. Omniug from the present Em- peror, with his short and varied record, it would probably be treated with comparative indifference. lu‘Ilu‘v- v.- 7-. The large gains generally allowed to the social Democrats in discussions of the general election have caused much appre- hension among the old parties. The keen- est obserVers agree that. the present. growth of Socialism, despite the weakness of the social Deumcrzttic leadership, is due direct- ly to the disappointing resu.ts of the Em- peror‘s lahor policy. During the last week Gen. Von Kalten- born Stachnn was again upon the point. of retiring from the Ministiy of War, but his resignation Vo'ilS deferred in view of the general uncertainty in Cab- inet. and Parliament, and he pro- bably will remain in office until the general reorganization of the Cabinet, which will follow the final decision of the Chancellor’s fate. The admirers of Prince Bismarck are preparing to celebrate his birthday in grand style. It is aquestion, however, whether he Wlll be able l0 respond in person to the greetings of the pilgrims to Friedriohsruhe. He is still weak and condemned by Dr. Schweininger’a orders to idleness. He is subject to fits of despondency, which cause the family much anxiety. The United Press correspondent had an interview to-day with Dr. Johannes Miguel, Prussian Minister of Finance, con- cerning the critical situation created by the attitude of the parties towards the Army bill. Dr. Miquel’s opinions on the subject are regarded as exceptionally important, as he is being accused daily of intriguing to precipitatea Cabinet crisis in connection with the bill to oust Count von Caprin and to secure his own elevation to the Chancellorship. v..w..â€"---v In the event of a dissolution of the Reichemg, said Dr. Miquel, the majority of German electors, I believe, will support the Army bill. The South Germans and the Rhinelenders, who would sufier most from an invasion by the French army, would be especially anxious to return de- puties who would favor strengthening the army to the full extent demarded by the Government. In my opinion, however, the wisest course would he to effect a. compromise with the present Reichstag and thus avoid the dis- advantages suffered by the country from a. general election. A majority for the pre- sent measure in modified form could be secured by some diplomatic negotiation with the Clericals and the Radicals (Frei- sinnige). _ - .. a Dr. Miquel made no more direct. refer- ence to Count. Von Caprivi’s policy than that. contained in his recommendation of a compromise. Tfie Chancellor’s refusal to éompromfem however, is the cause of the present crlucai condition of nflhirs.
