The city is in perfect frenzy of excite
ment, now that the certain capitulation of
Paris is known.
A telegram from the Federal Chancellor
gave the first official confirmation of the
news, and was received at late hour last
night. To-day the church bells were rung
since day break, and the several services i'll
the churches were attended by crowds of
worshipers. The official dispatch was
read, sermons on peace were delivered, and
prayers and thanksgiving for if offered.
Before and after morning services in
the churches; immense crowds gathered in
front of the Palace, and the ladies of the
household appeared at the windows and
waved their acknowledgment to the
people, Every person, on his way to-
church, as he met his neighbor, stopped
and embraced, men and women congratu-
lating each other, with tears in their eyes.
News of the capitulation certainly Gre
ates, in the public mind here, charitable
feeling, and there is strong desire to act
generously towards the foe.

The Worlds special from Berlin says;
All Germany is in fever of rejoicing,
and to night bonfires, Examinations and
professions may be seen everywhere. I'm
mediately after the occupation of the forts
by the Germans, the Provisional Govern

will summon the National Assembly,
which body will decide the form of the
future government of France.
WARRINGTON, Jan. %.
Secretary Fish has just received the fol-
lowing telegram from Mr.. Morgan, Charge
de Affairs at London, dated London, Sun
day morning, Jan. goth:
"Tbe German ambassador here has been
officially informed that the capituation Of
all the Paris forts, and an armistic of three
weeks by land and sea, was signed about
10 o'clock last evening. The army of
Paris will remain prisoners of war in the
city, but it is not known whether they will
be disarmed or not. Details have not been
received. Count Beanstoff thinks it ali
important fact that the armistice extends
over sea, and that it should be made
known as widely as possible"
Great numbers of cattle have been col
lected by the Germans at Rouen, Guesse
and Longwy, to be driven into Paris as
soon as it capitulates.
New York, Jan. %.
Versailles special to the World, says
the capitalization of Paris has been signed.
The terms are, the surrender of the gar
rison, summoning of the National Assem-.
bly,; the cession of Alsace and German
Lorraine; part of the feet; money ndem
nifty to be guaranteed by the muncipali
ties; portion of the German army to re-
turn home, and the war to cease. The
terms provide for the possession of the
forts around Paris by the Germans, but no
occupation Of the city by them.
The Prince Imperial is to be the future
Emperor, with the Empress as Regent
1t is necessary that some territory be re-
tanned to secure the fulfilment Of the COM
pact; the Mobiles are to be sent home, and
the German army to enter Paris.
King William will not enter Paris, but
will return to Berlin on Tuesday, leaving
the Crown Prince in command of the Prus-
slams.
Provisions for Paris are being forward
ed by the way of Dieppe.
The capitulation and, armistice settles
nothing particularly nor do they ensure an
end of the war. All depends upon the
Assembly.
