Debate on the Army BilI

Debate on the Army Bill.
 BERLIN March 1.-In the debate now go- ing on in the Reichstag on the army bill, Gen. eral Von Konicke justified the proposed in crease of the army provided for in the bill on the ground that Germany could not afford to be outstripped by her neighbors in her miii- itary organization, although he would not af firm that such increase was an absolute neces- sity at the present time, as growing out of any purpose on the part of the Government to enter upon an offensive campaign to provoke in any way aggressions from any other power. General Von Konicke further stated that in desiring the passage of this bill the Govern ment was doing more than to follow it's pre- oedents and in times of peace making an at tempt to fill gaps already created by war, and concerning which no steps up to the present time had been taken. He also said that the measures would chiefly affect the reserves of the first class that it contained nothing un- usual or experimental and that it would be capable of bearing the closest practical exam ination.
 Herr Richber followed General Won Konicke giving the bill his general support and plead ing for two years service. Count Won Moltke made an impressive speech and said that all governments would keep at peace as long as they were strong enough to do so. A tune for every country, peril to it's neighbors as it's hankerings after revenge was g discomfort on account of internal circumstances and an ambition to re- gain kindred people who were compelled to live under other political conditions. All these he said can form new complications France, he continued, had more than doubled her army since 1875, while Russias peace force was double that of Germany. Yet Ger many was expected to magnanimously show the good example of disarming Germany, he said, would maintain peace as she could, and in doing so would perhaps find allies.

 Opinion in Judge Coles Case.
 WASHINGTON, March I'm the matter of Judge Coles and the Commo nwealth of Vir- ginia, petition for writ of habeas corpus, Justice Field dissents from the ruling of the court. J. D. Coles is judge of the PennsyI- vania County Court, and was arrested on warrant issued by the District Court on an indictment founded on the fourth section of the act of Congress, March 1st, 1875, which declares that no citizen shall be disqualified in any court of the United States, or any State, on account of race, color or previous condi- ton of servitude, and any officer charged with the duty of selecting or summoning jurors, who shall exclude or fail to summon any cit izen for the cause aforesaid, shall, on convic- tion thereof, be termed guilty of misde- meanor, etc.. etc. Coles is now held in cus- tody and his petition is for certiorari to said court, to send up the record of it's proceed ings, and for writ of habeas corpus, alleg ing that it's action was without jurisdiction, and hls imprisonment hereunder is unlawful, and he prays to be released therefrom. The commonwealth of Virginia presents similar petition, declaring that she is deprived of the services of her judicial officer. Judge Field, after stating the law of Virginia relative to summoning juries. holds that the United States District Court exceeded it's jurisdic- ton, that the act in the section referred to, so far as it relates to State courts, is unconstitu- tional and void Justice Clifford concurs in this dissenting opinion.

out would throw about six thousand piano makers into enforced idleness, and the unions would be unable to supply so many with funds. At first it was thought by the men that other trades would come to their assis- tance, but there is so much restlessness among all crafts, strikes being spoken of among all, that each trade will have enough to do should their demands for increased pay be refused For this reason the calmer minded men are in favor of accepting Steinway's proposals.
 The furniture factory strikers still hold out The tailors, cutters, pressers and machine op- orators of this city and Brooklyn have ap- ployers and demand an increase, and Ii not granted may strike. The boiler makers have also caught the fever, and will demand a ff- teen per cent. increase.
 About five hundred of the six hundred Steinway $ Sons strikers met tonight for the purpose of transacting routine business and to perfect their plans. They claim there was no foundation for the report published in sev- eral of yesterdays papers to the effect that a meeting was held and committee appointed to effect compromise with Steinway & Sons. They say that the action of the Steinways in placarding their building with posters threat enfng to close their shops will not scare them in the least. They will remain on strike for three months if it is necessary. As far as the action of the piano manfacturers' society is concerned, they are ready and willing that all the shops should be closed March 13. It will be the means of driving piano making to other cities and the men are ready and will ing to proceed to Boston. Philadelphia or Chicago so long as they will procure wages sufficient to support themselves and families. At the conclusion of the meeting the secreta- ry called the name of each member and he re- ceived $5, which amount will be paid each man per week during the strike.
