ning your work it Is n peed thing to tnko a
rest. The Kclchstag is preparing for its hard
work by an night clays rest. Its program is
an Important one. The next thing It will
take up will be the commercial treaties with
Spain , Scrvia nnd Koumanh , which are
minor matters , and then will como the more
important Kussian treaty which has been
lagging nlontr. Thn final result is still , of
course , indcllnltc. The smaller treaties will
fro through without a doubt. But with re
gard to the other matter , the conservatives
and the ngragrian party will make them
selves heard , and will oppose the Russian
treaty on the ground that It 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 is expected that the budget
will have precedence over everything else.
The debate will turn on the i ways and means
to make m > wh.it h necessary to meet the
Increased expenditures necessitated by the
new army bill , nnd how much is to bo placed
on tobacco , wlno and stamps. All those where
ro interested In the articles mentioned will
naturally strongly 'oppose all attempts at
ndlrect taxation. The most favorable
proposition Is to pat a tax on the bourse
ransactions , although thcio Is much objec-
lon on the ground that the Just will have to
.utter . with the unjust.
The proposed tax on wine hits southern
Germany , and , therefore , there is opposition
rom that quarter. The quantity produced
s relatively small and this item is not likely
o pass.

The opposition to the tax on tobacco is not
so great since It will be the most productive.
But tlio complaints of the tobacco growers
are to bo heard anu it is their opinion that
ho tax would kill a flourishing Industry and
throw thousands of worklngmcn out of em
ployment. Outside of the circle of these
who arc affected by the taxes It is not
denied that tobacco would bo the best article
to tax and a great many people have como
around to this opinion. PAUL LI.NUC.

Bcnus , Nov. 23. The Keichstag , after
three days vacation , began its dellbsration
of the commercial treaties proposed between
Germany and Houmania , Servia and Spain.
The fate of these measures wai regarded as
doubtful until Chancellor von Caprlvl made
his firm speech In support of them yester
day evening. It Is recognized on nil sides
that the chancellor mido a decided hit
when he remarked , referring to the attacks
made upon him on the ground that , ho did
not posspss an acre of land , and , therefore ,
was not an interested party , would the
agrarians have considered that tie would
have been a chancellor more to their taste
if he had been a landed proprietor and up to
the "lips in debt , " since when ho asked
' Had Germany sunk so low that self-interest
was to be regarded as the chief motive of
the servants of the stutci"
Chlor Ailment nf ttio runners.
The chancellor then assured the acrarians
that ho had brought the whole strength of
his mind to the study of the aricultural
question and said that ho had arrived at the
conclusion that the chief ailment of hus
bandry was the excessive burdening of land
with debt , nnd the conversion of Germany
from an exporter of grain into an Importer
of grain 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 bafety in spite of
any opposition which may bo broughtto
bear against them.
Secretary of State von M-arschnll's open
ing speech also made a deep impression
upon the Reichstag. He succeeded in showIng -
Ing that while a refusal to vote the treaties
would not osneflt the landed proprietors In
anytway it would hurt all other interests.
But , at the best , the majority in favor of
the treaties will not be largo , and the same
uncertainty prevails in regard to uvery other
public question. Never before have the
affairs of the country' bsen stirred up to
such a degree as at present. Nearly every
party , with the exception of the socialists
and Herr liichter's wing of ( the frelsinnigo
party , Is united upon every proposition
made by the government , and an equally
disturbed state of affairs seems to prevail
upon every proposition made by the differ
ent parties. *
Opposed by All Parties.
The now proposed taxes upon tobacco ,
wine and receipts continue to meet with a
growing and formidable opposition from all
parties.
At Thursday's -meeting of the bankers ,
who asscmoled in order to enter a vigorous
irotest against the proposed stamp tax ,
very strong words were uttered , and It was
ieclded to do everything possible to prevent
this taxation. The meeting was of special
mportance , in view of the fact that ovary
banking Institution , including these whose
connections with the government were well
mown , were represented. Their resolutions
declared that not only tlio exchange 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 marks.
Attacked the Chancellor' * Speech.
Upon the resumption of the debate in the
Reichstag today , Ilerr Hammerstoln , con
servative , warmly attacked Chancellor
von Capri vl's speech of yesterday , saying
that if the chancellor's remark , that ho
could no longer agree with the conscrva-
lives , Implied his bcparation from them ,
they must adapt theaiselvcs to tlio new
situation , but the speaker doubted whether
the government was possible in Germany or
Prussia without the aid of the conserva
tives. Formerly they had looked to the
government for help In critical moments ;
now , while admitting the prevalent agrlcul
tural distress , the chancellor was unable to
hit upon a plan of relief. The present
government was thus reduced , according to
Herr Hannnerstein , to a 'ovcl qulto out of
keeping with old Prussian traditions. In
closing Ilerr Hummerstoln strongly opposed
the now treaties.
Secretary of State Herr yon Marschall ,
replying , said ho was still waltin ? to hoar
evidence adduced that the treaties were in-
Juriojs to agricultural interests , The gov
ernment , ho added , was not lighting the con
servatives as such , but only opposed them
when they did not pursue a moderate course.
Continuing , Herr von Marschall said that
when , fifteen years ago , ho himself advo
cated n moderate 'duty on cereals he was re
garded a3 an extreme agrarian ; for a state
like Germany an extreme tariff was abso
lutely necessary , for without It it was im
possible to adequately protect all branches
of national industry.
Agriculture , Secrotar.v von Marshall said ,
could gain nothing by a rejection of the
treaty with Houmania , while , on the othoi
hand , German industries would suffer , ant
with them the working classes , and , there
fore , agriculture , would also bo affected in
directly. Ultimately the treaties were re
ferrcd to a committee. In spite of botl
frclslnnigc parties , the people's party um
the boclalist party , the Reichstag adjournet
until Mondaywhen the subject will bo again
discussed.

The frcisinnigo bill , which has been sub
milled to the Reichstag , demanding uui

and Its effect would be to incrcaso the mem
bersnip of the Reichstag to 500 and to
largely Increase tho' representation of al
largo cities , giving Berlin eighteen seats
The bill has not the slightest cuancoo

ing to make everybody above the ago of 0

regarded as nn untimclyjoke. The woman's

different direction , fro/ri ihat of the American

of Governor von Soden in Africa was for-
liddcn to remain In German Africa and who
vas recently received by Chancellor von
aprivi , is now at liberty to resume his ex-
ilorattons should he desire to do so. It ap
pears that the conversation which theex-
[ ilorer had with the chancellor tended to
prove to the latter that Herr Wolff'scrllicjsm
of Von Sodon's policy iu the German-African
colony was based upon the fact that the
ovcrnor was undoubtedly mistaken In his
treatment of the natives , a ? well as in the
manner iu which lie 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 Imperial service

Among the emblems proposed by Rclnhold
Bcgas , the sculptor , to adorn the nationa
monument to bo erected In accordance with
the vote of the Reichstag to Emperor Wil
Ham I in Berlin , wore a ballot box , the
tables of law , the laurel wreath and a cross ,
representing in the first two emblems the
participation of the people In the shaping of
public affairs. But the emperor has ordered
Begas to remove these emblems , saying that
the monument is not to bo a people's monument
ment , but a dynastic monument. It will be
remembered soon after ihodcath'of William
I , that the Reichstag , acting under high
patriotic pressure , voted unanimously ( the
socialists leaving the ] iall ) the sum of 10,000
marksifor this monument.
A now uolltlcal departure has boon taken
by the government as to the way of treating

years before during which ho lias fought
the great battle for home rule. It is no
secret among his friends that ho was
urgently in favor of Iho immediate dissolu

the bill in September. Ho could
then throw himself vigorously into the
conflict , and if ho carried the country his
place would bo supreme among the English
statesmen of the century. Even if defeated
he believed that defeat would only be tem
porary. Ho is absolutely sure that England
will bo forced ultimately , at latest before
the end of the century , to errant tbo measure
of justice to Ireland. Wbathcrlt was vic
tory or defeat , therefore , ho was anxious to
nbido by an immediate anneal on the sole

members of the cabinet overbore him and
it was decided to delay dissolution until ,

The great leader was disappointed and
these close to him say it has bad n serious
effect. Moreover , the death of his faithful
friend and physician , Sir Andrew Clark , oc
curred simultaneously with the beginning ot
the present session of Parliament. Glad
stone seemed to have Implicit confidence in
him. Hogavo , at least , implicit obedience
to the physician's commands , and Sir
Andrew maintained a very sharp watch over
his patient's habits of lfo ! nnd work. Gladstone -
stone has now no ono except his wife
to 'excrciso this control and' the
fact has baen prejudicial to his *
health. While not directly responsible
for the conduct through Commons of either
of the two bills before thai body , he has re
mained in place day ana night and spoken
from ono to thrco times at every sitting.
The Opposition , while pretending not to bo
hostile to the principle of cither bill , is op
posing both with all the tactics so familiar
in the homo rule contest , and it is now ap
parent that adjournment cannot bo reached
before Christmas nnd the government has
threatened to hold an adjourned session in
January if necessary to dispose of both bills.
This would deprive Gladstone of his usual
winter visit to the south of Franco , unless
pressure ny wife or iriends could prevail
over his obstinacy.

a largo measure abandoned him and I have
it from an intimate associate that he has
himself expressed the fear that ho will not
survive another birthday after the one which
completes his 84th year next mo'nth.
It Is definitely determined that the homo
rule bill will not bo again introduced in this
Parliament ; that dissolution and appeal to
the country must bo first had. Unless , there
fore , Mr. Gladstone can bo persuaded to take
immediate rest his friends fear with him
that ho will not bo with them to lead the on
coming contest , but ho has been so far deaf
to all appeals.
Who Will Succeed Him.
With Gladstone's death , who would suc
ceed to the leadership ! It Is nn easy answer
that the succession Is between Sir William
Vcrnon Harcourt and Lord Kosebery. Up
to last week all probabilities pointed to the
former's succession because of his long ex
perience and many distinguished services to
tlio party , nnd the fact that ho has already
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 the
splendid success of Hoscbcry's chair
manship of the coal confcrenco commit
tee changed all this in a day. Whether
this happy result was duo 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.
Moit Popular Since. I'tlt.
All newspapers and sneakers glvo the
credit to him and he Is nt this moment far
and away the most popular Englishman since
tbo day of Pitt , "God bless Kosebery" was
so constant u saying in the mouths of the
strikers nnd their wives and in the news
paper reports after the issue of the conference
ence- that the words would have been the
hcadlino In every English paper the morn
ing after if they over indulged In plctur
csquo headlines ,
In fact Kosobery has every clement tend
ing to popularity. He Is not , only urbane ,
lor his speeches show that ho has a com
mand of satlro equal to Iiarcourt's ; ho is a
tremendous worker and a great sportsman ,
A colt in his stable is now favorite for the
Derby in 1893 , and If the year "J3 limls him
the winner of .tno Derby and at the game
time prime minister , the imaginative Eng
lishman can conceive of no possible bliss to
any man beyond the double honor.
Wealthy and Generoiif.
As is well known he caino Into an linmcnio
fortune by his marriage with MIssHotbs-
chlld. She was an heiress to not less tban
$00,000,000. When she dlod two years ago
she loft to thrco children only fl'.OOO.OOO.
Iho re it ho hr.d transferred to her husband
during her life. While not solf-indulgent in
any way , he is very hospitable and Indeed
fulfills everything expected of a nobleman.

last week , ho had made himself much liked
among the common people by his progressive
course over since ho entered public life , by
his steadfast support of Gladstone when
nearly all the liberal psers went over to the
enemy , and by his consistent efforts In behalf -
half of the masses of London when chair
man of the county council. Ho is recognized
as n safe man by the merchant class , ns
shown by the general gratification when he
was made foreign minister.
Ono of Ills Achievements.
The vast measure of his popularity In the ,
matter of the settlement of the coal strike
may bo estimated when It is remembered
that not only had 30,033 miners been on a
triko for sixteen weeks , with the attcnd-
nt consequences of heartrending misery
nd starvation , but hundreds of other Indus-
rics , with hundreds of thousands of work-
nencompulsorily idlewere seriously affected
f not actually paralyzed. Capital suf-
erc'4 almost equally with labor. In pro-
ious dispatches I have given the figures of- -
he immense losses to railroads alone.
Certain to llo Premier.
If Gladstone should die tomorrow Parlia
ment would not bo dissolved , and possibly
ho names of both Harcourt and Rosobery
\ould coma bcforo the queen. It Is not
ilfllcult to determine to which her profer-
nce would bo inclined , nor.to.prppljesy rtiq
.ctual result. If , hownvor , Harcourt slibuld"
nakc a contest to the point of danger of the
party , then a compromise might bo agreed
n with the result of , say , Earl Spencer's
ircmiership for the coming season only.
Alter Iho dissolution and before the people
hero will bo no contest of Roseberry's
eadership. Ho has , moreover , the hearty
: o-oueration of Herbert Asquith , the present
lome secretary , and if ho lives long enough
lie is now but 35) ) ho is sure to make a great
mark in EnglUh history. BALLAIIU SMITU.

net has rosigned.
As soon as the Chamber of Deputies was
ready for business this morning debate on
.ho . Jaurcs motion was resumed. After
Premier Dupuy and M. Gobel had spoken it
was stated in Iho lobbies that M. Viette ,
minister of public works , and M. Tsrrler ,
minister of commerce , had resigned. Later
t was reported that Petrat , minister of
finance , had also resigned and it soon oecame
known that the resignation of all these thrco
ministers had been tendered.
After speeches from both sides M , Palle-
tan counted the tribune and demanded to
know whether ha haa the entire cabinet or
only a portion of the cabinet before him.
To this Premier Dapuy replied : ' 'The
whole cabinet Is here. You can speak. "
M. Dupuy's remark was greeted with loud
cheers and raised n 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
having a united cabinet before mo , 1 decline
to speak. "
M. Pellctan's remark caused the left side
to break out into renewed applause , which
was intermixed with const lerablo tumult ,
M. lirlsson declared the ministry's conduct
was unconstitutional , and that it was impos
slble to keep un the debate. Tremendous
cheering greeted this remark , and there was
more tumult and considerable disorder on
nil sides of the Chamber , after which M.
Jaures withdrew his interpolation , 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
need for a revision of thn constitution and
for an income tax , and upon ending ills
speech was most enthusiastically cheered I
by the members of the extreme left , .
Premier Dunuy'n Itcply.
Premier Dupuy followed , Ho maintained ,
in spite of the protests of the opposition
that the country wanted neither a revision
of the constitution noran Income taxand ho
added that neither was there any popular
demand for a separation of the church and
state. [ Strong marks of disapproval , ] The
ministry , ho continued , remained faithful to
the principles of the revolution , but repudi
ated tlio theories of the socialists , which
substituted the state for the individual and
Disposed of private property by confiscation
and robbery.
When the applause had subsided the
speaker continued , saying that the ministry
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 to improve the lot of the work
ing classes.
M , Dupuy , after reminding the Chamber
of thc'.lcgUlatlvo . program , asked the depu
ties to say clearly whether or not the cabi
net possessed their confidence.
After M. Dupuy had declared the cabinet

PAIUS , Kov. 25. ( Now York World Cable
Special to Tin : Bee. ] The deposed impe
rial family of llrnzil are keeping exceedingly
quiet. Your correspondent visited them
this week and sent a1 brief Interview stating
that Pnnco Pedro is In Vienna. The comtu
nnd romtcsso d'Eu live at Dulocno-sur-Seine ; ,
a distant suburb of Paris , on the other slda
of the Hols do Boulogne , on which the housa
looks. It is a pretty but modest house ,
renting for not more than $1,000 a yoar. It
is entirely dctncliud and has neat stables oa
the ground. At tlio time the correspondent
called the comtcsse's second son came up on
a safety bicycle.
Both the comic and the cointcssc declined
to receive the correspondent , who then sent
a letter to the comic. In reply the corre
spondent received a note from the Baron do
Murltiba , chamberlain ot the comtessc , say
ing that ho had been instructed to receive
the correspondent. The baron lives in thu
rue Bernard Pallssy , Boulogne , In a housu
still humbler than that of his mistress. Ha
Is a hanasomo white haired gentleman , bear- i |
ing some resemblance to the late Dom A
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
returned from a visit to his family in Brazil ,
but ho lives permanently In Paris in exile
with the cx-lmperlal family. In the coursa
of conversation ho said sorao'intercstlng
things.
Not Allowed to Talk Politics.
"Do you know whether Admiral Mollo Is
aiming at tlio restoration of monarchy ! "
asked the correspondent.
"I cannot express any opinion of a political
character on oohalf of the comto and
comtesse " ho said. " havoihad
, "They no com
munication with the revolutionary party.
For my own part , I should notUhlnk-it iin-
probable that ho 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 Europe is paying
the expenses of the rebellion in the interests
of the Imperial family ? "
"I don't know anything about it. It la
evident ho is gettintr funds somewhere ,
whether from Europe or Brazil docs not
matter much. You had better find the cap
italists and ask them. I do not believe the
count or countess Know of the existence ot ,
such a syndicate. They have tnado no conQ *
deuces to me concctniug it. "
"Do you expect the restoration of tin
monarchy ? " '
" 1 cannot answer that. I certainly hops
for It , or I should no ; bo hero in exile. "
Advantage.- nn Umpire.
' As a monarchist , do j'ou bellevo that
Mcllo has proclaimed the empire ? "
"I certainly do not , although my every
moans of knowing is from what I read in' tha
newspapers. "
"Do you believe the majority of Brazilians
dcsirc'the restoration of the monarchy ! "
"Lain hardly the best person to answer
that question. I nm partisan and I have not
lived in Brazil since the deposition , but I be
lieve that nlno-tcntbs of the people
sincerely attached , the
to monarchy when j
the emperor was deposed. Nothing , surely ,
has happened since to make them change ) ?
their minds. On the other hand , peace and
prosperity have boon replaced by war and
bankruptcy. For the seventy-live ye'ars
during which the Brazilian , mon
archy lasted , n state of sicgo was
never once declared. A liberal republic
under the form of a monarchy was displaced
by a military despotism. The people of the
northern provinces wcro perhaps more at
tached to the emperor's person than the
southerners , but the whole country wai
monarchisiio. Even revolutionists shed
tears when ho went away. "
"Was the civil list of the Imperial family
maintained ? "
"No. A largo sura of money was placed
at the disposal of the emperor , but ho died
before touching it , and tlio cojyto and com-
tcsso have had nothing. Wo are all living
on our private incomes. "
I'oor Artillery Work.
"What wcro the effects of th
bombardment of Hlo when you lofl
Brazil ! " "Not very serious , but It was
not wise to wander about too much. The
government force of Nichtcroy was firing
on tno revolutionary fort of Yillcgaignon ,
which is in the center of the bay , and occa
sionally hit the town. The artillery work
was very bad. ' * "Do you know whether
Mcllo Is firmly attached to cither the repub
lican or monarchist principles ! "
"I presumeho is a republican , as ho has
formed a part of the republican ministry , "
Before the correspondent left the baron
pointed out to him the eldest son of the
comtesso. He wears a uniform of the mili
tary college of Wiener Ncustadt , where ho
is now studying , Pedro do Alcantra is his
name. Ho is a big strapping fellow of 18 ,
