BERLIN, STILT 15.

To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the Minis-
ter of War laid a bill on the table for an extra-
ordinary credit for the Marine Department. The
Minister said :

" For several years the project for establishing
a fleet has been discussed by the Government.
On account of recent inventions nothing has
yet been decided upon, but the necessity of pre-
paratory resolutions for the extension of the naval
force of Prussia is evident. The loss of a whole
year would be very serious. A credit is therefore
requested, without the plan for the establishment
of a fleet being at the same time communicated to
the Chamber. The Government hopes to be ena-
bled to communicate this plan during the next
winter session."

A special committee of 19 members has been
elected to report upon the demand of the Minister
of War.

EVENING.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Minister
of Justice gave explanations in reply to questions
as to the tribunals exclusively reserved for the mili-

tary.

He stated that a feeling of unity has hitherto
prevailed between the people and the army, not-
withstanding this exceptional military jurisdiction,
and was therefore not endangered by its existence.
The Government would, on that account, not intro-
duce the desired bill changing the existing law
upon this subject.
The Minister of War admitted that the gulf be-
tween the people and the army was a lamentable
truth, but declared that it was still further enlarged
by the insults directed against the army by the
press. The army sympathised with the people but
not with its abusers.
