SIX YEAR TERMS.
Mr.. MilIard's Presidential Reform Bill
Not to Pass This Session

Mr.. MilIard's Presidential Reform Bill
Not to Pass This Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l7.-Whlle the prospects
are not very bright for the adoption of Repre-
sentative Mlllard's resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution extending the
Presidential term to six years, and providing
that the incumbent shall be forever Ineligible
for e-election, there is a surprising sentiment
in its favor in the House. Thus far of nearly
fifty members seen but one has expressed op-
position to the amendment. He opposes it on
the ground that there can not be too frequent
political discussions. In the event of failure
to adopt the resolution at this session Mr.. Mil
lard. who has been reelected, will offer it
again early in the first session Of the Forty
ninth Congress. and will do all that can be
done to bring it before the House next winter.

AN ANARCHISTS DEFIANCE.
ReinsdOrf Shows no TrepidatiOu Before
the German Judges at Leipsic.

LRIPsIc, Dec. 17.-In the Anarchist trial to-
day Reinsdorf confessed that he was connected
with the plot to assassinate the Emperor Of
Germany at Neiderwald and referred in a
most vehement manner to the condition of the
working classes. The judges were frequently
compelled to interfere and rebuke the prisoner
during his remarks. Reinsdorf continued,
saying that the task of obtaining freedom de-
vOlved upon the workmen themselves, and
contests at the polls, so beloved by Social
Democrats, were absurd and irrational The
Anarchist programme of action would alone
do any good. The end sanctided the
means. There was no good in
being sentimental and he had
done his duty as an Anarchist. He admitted
that he had persuaded Rupsch and Kuechler
to join him, and that he gave them the neces-
sary instructions as to the handling and plac-
ing of dynamite, and added boldly that if he
had not been i'll he would probably have COM
mitted assassination at Niederwald.

tapce to the amendment of the gentleman

apy apprehension on the part Of the gentle
man from Maine by assuring him that con-
ductors did not make any discrimination on
account Of a mans personal appearance. The
amendment of the gentleman from North
