SOCIAL-DEMOCRATS VERY JUBILANT They Look Upon the Defeat of the Bill as a Great Victory, INDIGNATION OF THE CHANCELLOR He Accuses the Centrists of Recelving Their Inspiration to Oppose the Measure from the Vatican Attempts to Compromise Fail. BERLIN, Muy 6.~ Tne army bill was re- jected today in the Reichstag by a vote of 210 to 162, A rescript signed by the kaiser dissolving the Reichstag was immediately promulgated und the body was dissolved, The social democratic members disy the wildest enthusiasm over the result, giv- ing cheer after cheer. Great confusion and uproar pre :d. Public excitement is at the highest pitch in Berlin. The new elec- tions are set for June 15. The new scssion will open within ninety days. The result of the vote on the army bill caused no surprise to the government. Chancellor von Caprivi hopea yesterday evening to rally the wavering members to the support of the measure by offering to re- duce the peace effective even below the num- ber proposed in the amendment offered by Freiherer von Huene, The offer, however, did not gain a single vot The house had made up its mind to reject the bill and the specches made on the subject were addressed rather to the electors than to the Reichstag. The most trying feature of the closing debate was the resurgence of anti-Pru sentiment, especially from the speake the center party Lieber, who is a leader in the councils of his party, after at- tacking Chancellor von Caprivi for having, as he puts it, resorted to the worst form of Bismarck is to secure the passage of the bill, s : 'he center rty fights against the ambitions of a centraliz- ing Cwserism. We protest against the mili- tarism which translates itself in persistent endeavors to extend the principles of the Prussian state into the domain of imperial legi: ure, In the interests of the empire we demand that the Prussian policy be con- fined to the Prussian Diet, while Germany prevails in the Reichstag.” Caprivi's Indignation, Neither Chancellor vou Caprivi nor Baron von Manteuffel, the Pruseian conservative leader, attempted to respond to Dr. Lieber's attack. All the speakers on the government side simply ignored the expressions of anti- Prussian sentiment. The chancellor com- mented vaguely upon the democratic tendency that has recently been ae- veloping among the centrists and sug- gested that the policy now pursued by that party had its iuspiration in the Vatican, which he said was now the friend of repub- lican France and was trying to draw the whole Catholic world in the same direction, The German government, the chancellor added, had hitherto based the support of the center party on social questions, but it had now learned a lesson. The center party was Catholic first and German afterward. The party stood ready to commit itself to what- ever democratic evolution foreign influences might choose to dictate, Vain Appeal to Putriotism. Mr. von Bennigsen, the leader of the na- tional liberals, gave a moderate tone to the debaie in a long speech, urging the house to accept the concessions offered by the gov- ernment. He deplored the inability of the Reichstag to sink party differences in the way of questions involving the external safety of the empire and its pres- tige abroad. The dificulty of success- fully conducting the affairs of the country had always been enhanced by the absence of a stable parliamentary ma- jority. A government driven to rely upon a fortuitous majority could never present to the country a really consistent national pol- What the Reichstag ought totry to obtain was a strong moderate party, estab- lished on a broad national basi: It seemed to him pitiful that no majority should be forthcoming in response to the government's appeal in behalf of the national honor and It wus painful y life of other y England, where the most violent party antagonism never militated against the continuity of the imperial policy promise Futile, The last attempts ata compromise, how- . Chancellor Caprivi refusing to sunction a proposition to make the two years active service permanent, the kaiser became impatient of further delay and pressed for a decision by the Reichstag today, hence the vote was taken at once, in stead of being postponed until Monday. The failure of the bill makes it necessary for the kaiser to defer for the present his projected reform of higher military commands and posts in the war office—a project which Chancellor Caprivi is said to dread, even more than he dreaded the struggle over the army bill, knowing that it is very likely that there will be a conflict over the changes which will invelve the kaiser, Caprivi him self, and others whom the chancellor has no desire to antagonize. Caprivi Will Reaig Chancellor Caprivi has gone to rotsdam to offer his resignation to the kaiser. The kaiser has summoned Count Botho von Eulenberg, the Prussian premier, to Pots- dam. Count Botho von Eulenberg took the place of Chancellor vou Caprivi, as Prussian premier about a year ago, when Caprivi re- signed that office, owing to the decision of the kaiser to withdraw the educational bill from the Prussian Laudtag.

The interest is much more considerable than one would have believed. If the Reichstag had voted today for an increase of, the effective mili- tary force, all the great states of Europ would have- been obliged to follow Ger many's example, becguse the whole of Europe is now managed from a military point of view. The prompt dissolution of the Reichstag, therefore, produced in Paris a profound political imoression. According to early reports, it was thought that the army bill would be rejected. and the dissolution of the Reichs dicted.

Here are some details of the trip of Emperor William to Rome: They Didn't Enjoy Themselves. Therelations of thé two monarchs, which were very good during th first days of the kaiser's sojourn, ended My becoming bad. On account of the chardcter of Emperor William's commandant, Queen Margherita made a complaint to King Humbert, and the imperial train was stopped in the open coun- try during the trip from Naples to Genoa in order to permit the royal train to pa ahead. At the place-where the trains over- took each other the two soverecigns had a secret interview, and the consequence was that the royal train arrived at Genoa before the imperial train, and the two par- ties entered the city separately. Itis also said that during his stay Emperor William wished to call out the garrison on an alarm in the middle of the night, and it was only on the protest of Quéen Margherita that the alarm was not given under pretext of not awakening the pope. These little incident commented on and repeated, produce a b effect on Europe, because they show that the character of the irascible young sovereign has not been changed. JAcQUES ST. CERE. LEDOCHOWSKI I8 PURGED, Polish Cardina', Ouce Exiled, Now in High Favor at Berlin, |Copyrizhted 1891 by James Gordon Bennstt.] Benuiy, Mav 6. —[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tie BER])—If you wait long enough, news generally sifts through Ber- lin. Now that the Koman visitors have re- turned, 1 have heard the true story of the much-talked-about attentions paid by the Jaiser to Cardinal Ledochowski. According to authentic details given me the cardinal changed his attitude when Baron Schloser ceased o be ambassador to the Vatican. Schloser, during the cultur- kampf, in conjunction with his master Bismarck, considered Ledochowski as his implacable encmy. He knew that Ledochowski, who then lived at the Vatican under the rooms occupied by the pope, made a point of being in the Vatican gardens av morning in orderto meet the pope during his habitual walk. On those oc from Poland, darkest colors. obt which painted events in the Schloser finally managed to n the displacement of this cardinal Leo, however, made him prefect of the propoganda. Since then has ed the rapprochement with the court at Berliu, Gettlng Even with Bismarck. Ledochowski, seeing Bismarck fallen, for got everything, and placed himselfat the dis- position of the same Prassia which fifteen ars previously had imprisoned, exiled and pursued him like a vulgar eriminal. In sup- porting Caprivi and his policy, he gratified his intenso hatred fgainst Bismarck. and for the last two yeats ‘he has been in con- fidential relations with the court at Berlin, where formerly he had been so unpopular. To have lived thus he was able to propose the choice of his desoted friend, Mg Stablewski, as archbishop of Posen, and he became the true regulptor of the Polish party, which from that moment became de voted to Wililam II. He intervened to sup- port all the personal desires and projects of the emperor and at the palace there is mo lack of gratitude. His confiden services went further. He used his influence with the pope to prevent him conceding to Frunce the protectorate of Catholics in Ching, which is here looked upon as a service of the first order. This had the effect of forming the resolution at the palace that Lodochowski should be ofii- cially rehabilitated.

United States District Attorney Kd- ward Mitehell, who appeared for the govern- ment, confirmed this statement and asked that Wong Quan be deported from the country. Judge Brown, aftersatisfying him- self that Wong Quan was a laborer, issued an order directing the marshal to deport the Chinaman. Lee Joe was *hen brought to the bar. He apparently did not understand the pro- ceedings. He extended his right hand toward the sky and mumbled a few unin- tellizible words., Some slight change was made in the complaint against Lee, and then Judge Brown signed an order for Lee's de portation. Fong Yue Ting was not brought before Judge Brown. Dismissed the Writs, ‘When Marshal Jacobus placed him under arrest Mr. Evarts went before Judge La- combe, sitting in the United States circuit court, and swore out a writ of habeas corpus in his case. When Judge Brown had fin- ished with the other Mongolians Mr. Evarts took out writs in their cases. Then the three Chinamen were taken before Judge Lacombe. After examining Judge Brown's orders Judge Lacombe dismissed the writs and ordered Marshal Jacobus to take the three men in custody again. This was done and Mr, Evarts asked that the three Chinamen be admitted to bail pending an appeal in their case. Judge Lacombe granted the applica- tion and fixed the bail of each at §00.

LixcoLy, Neb., May 6.—[Spectal to Tum Bee. |—The principal question that has been under discussion today, upon the street cor- ners, around the hotel corrtdors and in the public oftices has been: “What course will the managers of the impeachment pursue when the supreme court reconvenes uext Monday " While there are but few persons who will venture an ovinion, there is a strong under- current leading to the belief that several surpr in store for tieaccused officials and the s by whom thoy are repre- sented. This fecling extends throughout the entire city, and even the most intl- mate friends of the men on trial admit thatthings do not look as hopeful as they did before the introduction of damaging testimony, which threw saspicion around the celi-hiouse construc: and the insane asylum hospital coal deal. ‘The testimony that the state has adduced has opened the eyes of the people, and many persons who one week ago were were declar- ing that the men were above reproach ana that they were boing uted, now press themselves in a different manner, ad- mitting an indication that there is something crooked. Still the cry of persecution is kept up. but it comes principally from the officials themselves and their hived strikers, and is rezarded as the last effort to divert public attention from the issue und work up svmpathy. The accused ofivials have opened head- rters in the Lincoln hotel, where they huve renteda suiteof rooms just off the court and located on the second floor. There they remuin during the whole of the day and greater portion of the night, advising with their legal representatives. All of the hired workers are on the outside hunting witnesses who may be approached and trying to stem thetide that is rapidly setting inagainst their principals, the respondents, though in this latter enterprise they are not, meeting with any marked degree of success. How Their Work Was Done. Oneof the great crics now being raised s that if there have been any irregularities they h been due to the fact that the members of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings have been over worked in devot- ing their time ani attention to look- ing after the welfare of the pub- lic institutions of the state and that they have given the institutions such close attention und inspection that the ofiice work has been ueglected, Regarding this question, information comes from the most reliable authority that the Board of Public Lands and Buildings did not visit the Institute for the Deaf dur- ing the years 1801 and 1802, though J. I, Hill visited the school once last summer and re- mained for a short time. Whenever Super- intendent Gillespie has had anything that needed the attention of the board he has been compelled to go to Lincoln, get the members together and lay the matter before them, During the year 1801 torne reliable information reveals the fact that once the members of the board, or at least Messrs. Hastings, Humphr and Allen visited the Hospital for the Insane, locatea at Norfolk, but dur- ing the year 1802 none of them ever showed their faces upon the grounds. The 1891 visit was at tho request of the superin- tendent in charge, he stating that Supervisor Lee, who was afterwards discharged, was creating dissatisfaction umong the employes of the institution. At the Beatrice Instiwute for the Feeble Minded, Mr. Hill, who lives in that town was at the institution three times alone and once with A. R. Humphrey and J. C. Allen. During the year 1592 the board never visited the institution, though Hill was there twice and Humphrey once. More attention was given to the Hospital for the Insane, located at Has- tings, as the record shows that Hastings » there four times each and Humphrey t They are said to have visited the asylum during 1891, but the record fails to disclose the fact Out at the Industrial School for Girls, lo- cated at Geneva, it is evident that the board had but little interest, as during the year 1803 Humphrey visited the place twice and the other members once, ning o half day atecach visit. If visits were paid to the other state institutions no record has ever been keptto show why, when or how often they were made, Facts Are Agalnst Them. The factis that instead of the officluls having been overworked in looking after the interests of the state, they have paid but little attention to any of the institutions and have neglected some altogether. That the need of sympathy is the stock in trade of the respondents is made apparent by the fact thut during the past twenty-four hours they ha been claiming that the work of the legislative committee was done behind locked doors and that the entire in- vestigation, which resulted in the bringing of impeachment charges, was a star chamber affair, at which they not allowed to vindicate themselves. They are loud in de- nouncing the action of the committee in re- porting the charges and the action of a ma- Jority in adopting that report, urging that if they had been given an opportunity of ex- plaining, the supreme court of the state would not now be sitting as a court of impeach- ment. Going farther into the matter, they claim that if they had been given a hearing instead of having their characters black-" ened for all time Lo come, they could have proven themselves as innocent as new-born bi bes. I'his wail s accepted for the truth by s few, but & majority of the people right here in Lincoln, where the respondents and theix hired men are devoting the most of their time to waking capital, refuse to swallow Incurable
