[New York World to Tue Bee.] —~If any further proof was required than that pointed out in this correspondence that thers was not only no reconciliation between Emperor William and Bismarck last October, but that the latter's reply was an abrupt refusal of the kaiser's kindly worded invitation, the publi- cation this week by Historian Bium of an account of tho rupture between the emperor and Bismarck makes the fact entirely ob- vious. That this pubhication was undoubt- edly made with Bismarck’s consent, 1f not with his actual instigation, is apparent The hostile tone of the disclosures is ac- cepted in Germany as indicating the present and final disposition of the great exile at Friedrichsruhe toward his titular master.

For this he was to have been tried by court martial, but before the day appointed he was found dead in the forest, having shot himselr.

New York Herald Cable ~Special to Tue Bee.]—Before begin- ning work it is a good thing to take a rest. The Reichstag is preparing for its hard work by an eight days rest. Its program is an important one. The next thing it will take up will be the commercial treaties with Spain, rvia and Roumaniy, which are minor matters, and then will come the more important Russian treaty which has been lagging along. The final result is still, of course, indefinite. Tho smaller treaties will #o through without a doubt. But with re- gard to the other matter, tho conservatives and the agragrian party will make them- selves heard, and will oppose tho Russian treaty on the ground that iv would be in- jurious to the agricultural interests of Ger- many. On the other hand, the government takes a very calm view of this threatened opposition, After the commercial treaties have been disposed of it 1s expected that the budget will have precedence over everything else. The debate will turn on theways and means to make up what is necessary to meet the increased expenditures necessitated by the new army bill, and how much is to be placea on tobaceo, wine and stamps. Al those who aroe interested in the articles mentioned will naturally strongly “oppose all attempts at indirect taxation. The most favorable proposition is to put a tax on the bourse transactions, although there is much objec- tion on the ground that the just will have to suffer with the unjust. e proposed tax on wine hits southern Germany, and, therefore, there is opposition from that quarter. The quantity produced is 1 ively small und this item is not likely to pass. "Lhie opposition to the tax on tobacco is not s0 great since it will be the most productive. But the complaints of the tobacco growers are to be heard ana it is their opinion that the tax would kill a flourishing inaustry and throw thousands of workingmen out of em- ployment.

[Copyri;hted 1893 by the Associated Press. Beruis, Nov. 25.—The Reichstag, after three days vacation, began its deliberation of the commercial treaties proposed between Germany and Roumania, Servia and Spain. The fate of these measures was regarded as doubtful until Chancellor von Caprivi made his firm speech in support of them yester- day evening. It is recognized on all sides that the chancellor made a decided hit when he remarked, referring to the attacks made upon him on the ground that he did not possess an acre of land, and, therefore, was not an interested party, would the agrarians have considered that ne would have been a chancellor more to their taste if he had been a lunded proprietor and up to the ‘“lips in debt,” since when he asked “Had Germany sunk so low that self-interest was to be regarded as the chief motive of the servants of the state?” Chief Atlment of the Farmers. The chancellor then assured the agrarians that he had brought the whole strength of his mind to the study of the aricultural question and said t he had arrived at the conclusion that the chief ailment of hus- bandry was the excessive burdening of land with debt, and the conversion of Germany from an exporter of grain into an importer ofgrain and the scarcity of laborers was due to the attraction exercised upon the farming communities by the great industrial centers. It is generally believed by the best informed politicians today that the admira- ble defense of the treaties made by the chancellor assures their safety in spite of any opposition which may be brought-to bear against them. Secretary of State von Marschall's open- ing speech also made a deep impression upon the Reichs! He succeeded in show ing that while a refusal to vote the treaties would not penefit the landed proprietors in any.way it would hurt all other interests. But, at the best, the majority in favor of the treaties will not be large, and the same uncertainty prevails in regard to every other public question. Never before have the affairs of the country been stirced up to such a degree as at prescat. Nearly every party, with the exception of the socialists and Herr Richter's wing of «the freisinnige party, is umted upon every proposition ade by the govern: , and an equall disturbed state of affairs seems to prevail upon every proposition made by the differ- ent parties. Opposed by Al Parties. The new proposed taxes upon tobacco, wine and veceipts continue to meet with a and formidable opposition from all ing of the bankers, who assempled in order to enter a vigorous protest against the proposed stamp tax, very strong words were uttered, and it was y ible to prevent this taxation. The meeting of special importance, in view of the fact that every banking institution, including those whose connections with the government were well known, were revresented. Their resolutions declaved that not only the ex ge busi- ness, but the whole trade of Germany would suffer immensely from the tax. The capital represented at the meeting was about 1,000,- 000,000 warks, Attacked the Chancellor's Speech. Upon the resumption of the debate in the Reichstag today, Herr Hammerstein, con- servative, warmly attacked Chancellor von Caprivi's specch of yesterday, saying that if the chancellor’s remark, that he could no longer agree with the conserva- tives, implied his separation from them, they must adapt themselves to the new situation, but the speaker doubted whether the government was possible in Germany or Prussia without the aid of the conserva- 2s. Formerly they had looked to the meut for help in critical moments; v, while admitting the prevalent agricul- tural distress, the chancellor was unable to hit upon a plan of relief. The present government was thus reduced, according to Herr Hammerstein, to a ievel quite out of keeping with old Prussian traditions. In closing Herr Hammerstein strongly opposed the new treaties. Secretary of State Herr von Marschall, replying, said he was still waiting to hear evidence aaduced that the treaties were in- jurious to agricultural interests. The gov- ernment, ke added, was not fighting the con- servatives as such, but ounly opposed them when they did not pursue a moderate course. Continuing, Herr yvon Marschall said that when, fiftecen years ago, he himself advo- cated a moderato ‘duty on cereals he was re- garded as an extreme agravian; for a state lhke Germany an extreme tariff was abso- lutely necessary, for without it 1t was im- possible to adoquately protect all brauches of national indostry, Agriculture, Secretary von Marshall said, could gain nothing by a rejection of tue treaty with Roumania, while, on the other hand, German industries would suffer, and with them the working classes, and, there- fore, agriculture, would also be affected in- directly, Ultimately the treaties were re- ferred to a committee. In spite of both freisinnige parties, the people's party and the socialist party, the Reichstag adjourned until Monday,when tue subject will be again discussed. Unlversal Sutfrage 81, The freisinnige bill, which has been sub- mitted to the Reichstag, demaunding u versal, equal and direct suffrage, proposes to give representation to every 100,900 persons, and its effect would be to increase the mem- bersnip of the Reichstag to 500 and to largely increase the' representation of all large cities, giving Berlin eighteen seats. The bill has not the slightest chance of beiug passed, and the socialist bill, propos- ing to make everybody above the age of 20 -ment, but a dynastic monument. eligible to vote, without distinction to sex, is regarded as an untimely joke., Tho woman's movement in Germany moves entirely in a different divection from that of the Amerl- can woman, and has nevér included female suffrage among its aspirations.

Distributing Soclalist Literature. Another mode of promoting the socialist propaganda was recently adoptel in the rural districts, Members of the party dis: guised as hawkers visit the houses of peas- ants under the pretext of selling wares, but really in order to aistribute socialist prints. The socialists are holding numerous meet- ings to protest against the pioposed increase of the tobacco duty. Emperor Willlam's speech to the naval re- cruits at Kiel is rencwed evidence of the deep personal interest he takes in such services. After exhorting the recruits to behave in an exemplary manner toward for- cigners, the emperor concluded with the re- mark: “My cyes watch over everything and those who do their duty may be certain of my gratitude.” The Hamburger chrichten, dealing with the Cologne Gazeute's article on Blum's book, denies that Prince Bismarck's retire- ment from office was brought about by his own initiative, and declares that Blum's chrenology details the pertod 1n question in an incorrect manner. The Hamburger Nach- richten further denies the statement of the Braunschweiger Landes Zeitunz to the effect that Blum submitted proofs of his book to Prince Bismarck for revision pre- vious to its being published. The Hamburg-American Steamship com- pany intends to extend all its service to Copenhagen after the opening of Copenhagen as & free port.

Itap- pears that the conversation which the“ex- plorer had with the chancellor tended to prove to thelatter that Herr Wolff's criticjsm of Von Soden’s policy iu the German-African colony was based upon the fact that the governor was undoubtedly mistaken in his treatment of the natives, as well asin the manner in which he ruled the colonists. It has been stated that Herr Wolff was in- vited to resume his explorations in Africa, but it is now understood that Herr Wolff has not been asked to enter the impe i ana that he would not enter the ser- if he were asked, but the explorer's banish- ment has been ended.

But the emperor has ordered Begas 1o remove these emblems, saying that the monument is not to be a people’s monu- It will be remembpered soon after the death of William I, that the Reichstag, acting under high patriotic pressure, voted unanimously (the sociulists leaving the hall) the sum of 10,000 marksfor this monument. A new political departure has been taken by the government as to the way of treating vress statements aud attacks on the govern- ment, or on parties connected with it. Hith- erto such attacks have been allowed to re- main unuanswered for weeks. Eveninthe case of Herr Mohwagt's pamphlet the latter received no reply from the secretary of war for fully a month. Now hardly twent hours is allowed to pass before the fulse re- ports are corrected by the Reichanzer, the semi-official newspaper.

It is no secret among his friends that he urgently in favor of the immediate dissolu- tion of Parliament after the Lords rejected the bill in September. He conld then throw himself vigorously into the conflict, and if he carried the count his place would be supreme among the English statesmen of the centur, Even if defeated he believed that defeat would only be tem- porary. Heis absolutely sure that England will be forced ultimately, at latest before the end of the century, to grant the measure of justice to Ireland. Whather it was vie- tory or defeat, therefore, he was anxious to abide by an immediate appeal on the sole issue of home rule, butthemore cautious members of the cabinet overbore him and iv decidea to delay dissolution until, through various measures of English re- forms, the English constituency could be successtully appealed to. Misses His Physician-Friend. The great leader was disappointed and those close to him say it has had a serious cffect. Moreover, the death of h hful friend and physician, Sir Andrew Clark, oe- curred simultancously with the beginning ot the present session of Parliament. Glad- stone scemed to have implicit confidence in him. Hegave, at least, implicit obedicnce to the physician’s commands, and Sir Andrew maintainad a very sharp watch over his patient's habits of life and work. a- stone has now no one except his wife to “exercise this control and the fact has baen prejudiclal to health. While not directly responsiblie for the conducy through Commons of either of the two bills before that body, he has re- mained in place day anda night and spoken from one to three times at every sitting. The opposition, while pretending not to be hostile to the principle of either bill, is op- posing both with all the tactics so familiar in the home rule contest, and it is now ap- parent that adjournment cannot be reached pefore Christmas and the government has threatened to hold an adjourned session in Ji ary if necessary to dispose of both bills This would deprive Gladstone of his usual winter visit to the south of F pressure by swife or friends could p over his obstinacy. Mis Work is Telilng on Him. Already he is showing unusual, if not alarming, proofs of debility. His pallor is visibly accentuated, his usual “cat naps” on the trezsury bench are longer continued and more profound, his habitual buoyaney has in alarge measure abandoned himand I have itfrom an intimate associate that he has himself expressed the fear that he will not survive another birthday after the one which completes his 84th year next month, It is definitely determined that the home rule bill will not be again introduced in this Parliament; that dissolution and appeal to the country must be first had. Unless, there- fore, Mr. Gladstone can be persuaded to take immediate rest his friends fear with him that he will not be with them to lead the on- coming contest, but he has been so far deaf to all appeals, Who Will Succeea Hi With Gladstone's death, who would suc- ceed to the leadership? It is an easy answer that the succession is between Sir William Vernon Harcourt and Lord Rosebery. Up to last week all probabilities pointed to the former's succession because of his long ex- perience and many distinguisned s the party, and the fact that he has alveady held the responsible positions in several lib- eral governments, naturally tending to gen- eral acceptance that his place is next to the present leader, but tne splendid success of Roscbery's chair- mansnip of the coal conference commit- tee chauged all this in a da; Whether this happy result was due to his well-known tact, suavity of manner and real ability in the management of men, as shown in his equally successful chairmanship of the Lon- don county council matters, is not affecting popular opinion, Most Popular Since Pitt, All newspapers and sneakers give the credit to him and he s at this woment far and away the most popular Englishman since the day of Pitt. “God bless Rosebery’ was 80 coustunt a saying in the mouths of the strikers and their wives and in the news: paper reports after the issue of the confer- euce thatthe words would have been the headline in every Knglish paper the morn- ing after if they ever indulged in plctur esque headlines, In fact Rosobery has every element tend- 1ng to popularity. He is nop only urbane, for his speeches show that he has a com. mand of satire equal to Harcourt's; he is a tremendous worker aud a great sportsman.

The vast measure of his popularity in the matter of the settlement of the coal strike may be estimated when it is remembered that not only had 80,000 miners been on a strike for sixteen waoeks, with the attend- ant consequences of heartrending miser and starvation, but hundreds of other indu tries, with hundreds of thousands of work- men compulsorily idle, were seriously affected if not actually paralyzed.

It is not difiicult to determine to which her prefer- ence would be inclined, nor to prophesy the actual result. If, however, Harcourt should make a contest o the point of danger of the party, then a compromise might be agreed on with the result of, say, Earl Spencer's premiership for the coming season only. After the dissolution and before the pcople there will be no contest of Roseberry's leadership.

Viette, minister of public works, and M. Tarrier, minister of commerce, had resigned. Later it was reported that Petrat, minister of finance, had also resigned and it soon became known that the resignation of all these three ministers had been tendered, After speeches from both sides M. Palle- tan counted the tribune and demanded tu know whether he had the entire cabinet or only a portion of the cabinet before him. To this Premier Dupuy veplied: “The whole cabinet is here. You can speak.” M. Dupuy’s remark was greeted with loud cheers and raised a violent tumult on the part of the extreme left, many members of the latter party declaring that Petrat had handed in his resignation. This caused M. Pelletan to exclaim in a loud tone, *“Not baving a united cabinet before me, 1 decline 10 speak.” M. Pelletan's remark caused the left to break out into renewed applause, which was intermixed with consilerable tumult, M. Brisson declared the ministry's conduct was unconstitutional, and that it was impos sible to keep up the debate. Tremendous cheering greeted this remark, and there was more tumult and considerable disorder on ull sides of the Chamber, after which M. Jaures withdrew his wterpolation, pending a reconstruction of the cabinet. This caused renewed excitement, during which it was announced that the cabinet had resigned, and then the Chamber of Deputies adjourned until Monday. M. Goblet urged that there was special necd for a revision of the constitution and for an income tax, and upon ending his specch was most enthusiastically cheered by the members of the extreme left, Promler Dupuy's lieply. Premier Dupuy followed. He maintained, ir spite of the protests of the opposition that the country wanted neithera revision of the constitution noran income tax,and he added that neither was there any popular demand for a separation of the church and state. [Strong marks of disapproval.] The mistry, he continued, remained faithful to the principles of tho revolution, but repudi- ated tue theories of the socialists, which substituted the state for the individual and aisposed of private property by confiscation and robbery. When the applause had subsided the speaker continued, saying that the winistry would steadfastly defend individual liberty and the freedom of labor,as well as the principle of property, and assured the Cham- ber that the government would by wise measures try 10 improve the lot of the work- ing classes. M. Dupuy, after reminding the Chamber of the legislative program, asked the depu- ties 1o say clearly whether or not the cabi- net possessed their confidence, After M. Dupuy had declared the cabinet intact, M. Pelletan exclaimed: “Every one understands that we ouly want straight for- cabi- de [CONTINCEAD ON smoomm koGl ') spatchies I have given the figures of .

New York World Cable pecial to Tur he deposed impe- rial family of Brazil are keeping exceedingly quiet, Your correspondent visited them this week and sent a'brief interview stating that Prince iro is In Vienna. Tho comte and comtesse live at Bulogne-sur-Seine, a distant suburb of Paris, on the other sida of the Bois de Boulogne, on which the housa looks. It is a pretty but modest house, renting for not move than $1,000 a year. It is entirely detached and has neat stables on the ground. At the time the correspondent callea the comtesse’s second son came up on a safety bicycle. Both the comte and the comtesse declined to receive the corvespondent, who then sent a letter to the comte. In reply the corre- spondent received a note from the Baron de Muritiba, chamberlain of the comtesse, says ing that he had been instructed to receive the correspondent. The baron lives in the rue Bernard Palissy, Boulogne, in a housa still humbler than that of Lis mistress, Ha is a hanasome white haired gentlemar, bear« ing some resemblance to the late Dom Pedro. His house is decorated with photo- graphs of all the members of the imperial tamily, each signed by the original with an affectionate greeting. The baron had just veturned from a visit to his family in Brazil, but he lives permanently in Paris in exile with the ex-imperial family. In the coursa of conversation he said some®intcresting things, Not Allowed to Talk Politics, *“Do you know whether Admiral Mello is aiming at the restoration of monarchyi” asked the correspondent. “I eannot express any opinion of a political character on oehalf of the comte and comtesse,” he said. **They hawejiad no com- munication with the revolutignary party. For my own part, I should notthink it 1me probable that he is, but you have the same means of knowing that I have.” “Is there any truth in the report that a syndicate of capitalists in Burope is paying the expenses of the rebellion in the interests of the imperial family " “Idon’t know anything about it. TItis evident he is getting funds somewhere, whether from Iurope or Brazil does nos matter much, You had better find the cap- italists and ask them. Ido mnot believe the count or countess kuow of the existence of such a syndicate. They have made no confie dences to me concerning it." “Do you expect the restoration of the monarchy " “1 cannot answer that. I certainly hope for it, or Tshould noz be here in exile,” Advantages of an Empire, “As a monarchist, d7 you believe that Mello has proclaimed the empire?” 1 certainly do not, although my every means of knowing is from what I read in the newspapers.” Do you believe the majority of Brazilians desire the restoration of the monarchy?”? Lam hardly the best person to answer that question. Iam partisan and I have not lived in Brazil since the deposition, but I bex lieve that nine-tenths of the people werq sincerely attachedw to the monarchy when the emperor was deposed. Nothing, surely, has happened since to make tuem change theirminds, On the other hand, peace and prosperity have been replaced by war and bankruptey. For the seventy-five years during which the Brazilian mon- archy lasted, & sitate of sicgo was never once declared. A liberal republio under the form of a monarchy was displaced by a military despotism. The people of the northern provinces were perhaps more ate tached to the emperor's person than the southerners, but the whole country was monarchist en revolutionists shed tears when he went away.” “'Was the civil list of the imperial family maintained?” “No. Alarge sum of money was placed at the disposal of the emperor, but he died before touching it, and the cogte and come tesse have had nothing. We are all living on our private mcomes.” Foor Artillery Work, “What were the effects bombardment of Rio when you left Brazil?” *“Not very serious, but it was not wise to wander about too much, The government force of Nichteroy was firing on tne revolutionary fort of Villegaignon, which is in the center of the bay, and oceas sionally hit the town. The artillery work was very bad.” “Do you know whether Mello is firmly attached o either the repubs lican or monarchist principles?’ “I presume he is a republican, as he has formed a part of the republican ministry.” Before the correspondent left the baronm pointed out to him the eldest son of the comtesse. He wears a uniform of the mili- tary college of Wiener Neustadat, where he is now studyin Pedro de Alcantra is his name. He is a big strapping fellow of 18, with clear cut features, Press Publishing of the ARRIVED IN ENGLAND. Assistant Treasurer Jordan the Subject of Much Attention There.
