Berlin, , Dec 14. The kaiser has
reached an open rupture with the cleri
cal majority In the relchstag. Because
of his quarrel with the clerical party,,
the kaiser haa invited a atruggle with
the Vatican, and Germany may become
the. scone of another Kuvurekanipf
against the Catholire, rivaling In bit
terness and determination the relentless
campaign Francs, is now waging against
pope, , , i' 1 '
Only one third of .Qerrnan'e (0.000,00
inhabitants are Catholics, . but this
minority, by . standing together In a
solid phalanx, it a fur years been able
to control parliament. In fact, it has
been the clerical party to which the
kaiser has looked for the support of
most of his policies. Aa a result, the
clericals hsd grown Into such intimate
relations wlia the government, that fre
quently th"y bad been characterised aa
the governing party..
Soclaliats opened the attack on the
kaiser's colonisl vpollnEeecnbl

colonial officials. . This was followed
on December ' I by- the report of the
committee on appropriations, rejecting
the government's request for tha sup
plementary item of $7,630,000 to be used
n defraying the expenses of the Afri
can campaign. - ....
A majority In the relchstag refused to
vote more money thsn neded to support
the force of ,100 men. The clericals
voted against the kaiser.
The new elections will be fought on
the issue of ths people against the au
tocrat. Although united Catholicism

dissatisfaction supposed to be current
