Show KAISEITS PET BILL WLS. ; Navy Measure is Passed by the Bun- desrath. Berlin, June 13. The bundesrath today to-day approved the navy bill, and the measures providing means to carry out the projected plans of the measure already al-ready passed by the reichstag. Emperor William, who is said to be delishted at the result, will tomororw sign the bill, and the Reichsanzeiger will immediately thereafter publish it, thus making it law. It is said the kaiser, when news that the bill had passed was wired him, exclaimed: ex-claimed: "Now we know where we stand. At last there is solid bottom under one's feet." The government press prints articles eulogizing the patriotism of the reichstag reich-stag and rejoicing over the large majority ma-jority for the measure. The Vossiche Zeitung says: t "The real victor was the centrist party, whose demands will now be formulated for-mulated and pressed." The last reichstag session was one of the longest and most important in the history of the empire. Two hundred hun-dred and twelve plenary and 492 committee com-mittee meetings were he'd. The chamber cham-ber disposed of 55,000 petitions, of which several thousand have gone to the imperial im-perial chancellor for consideration. More money was involved in the action of the session than in that of any predecessor. |
