GERMANY'S PARLIAMENT.
THE LEADING ISSUES NOW Nv
DER CONSIDERATION.

All the Parties Anxious Concerning ths
Emperor's Heaith-An Attack on tho
Chancellor over the Shoulders OF the
POles-Psyment for Members not Apt
TO be Secured.
BERLIN, Dec. 12.-The Reichstag villa
take a recess on Dec. Is, and viii re-
convene Jan. 10. The Prussian Landtag
viii also adjourn for the same period.
The session Of the Reichstag has so far
been almost barren OF results.
All the parties are in a state OF sus-
pense over the condition OF the health of
the Emperor.
There are reports that there will be
dissolution of the Imperial Parliament In
June after the passage OF a measure to
prolong the law against the Socialists,
and renewal or the military septenate.
Government circles rely on the Socialist
measure being carried by a majority Of
twenty. 1t will be presented IN the Reich~
stag about the end of January.
THE POLISH QUESTION.
Herrs Liebknecht and Bebel have laid
upon the table motion demanding that
the government revoke the order OF exc
pulsion OF Poles from Germany.
President Wedell Peisdorf refused 10
record the motion unless the words stthe
measures of the Prussian government
have dishonored the German people, were
elided. The Socialists consented to this.
IL Is probable that Prince Bismarck I'M
new imperial message will contest the
right OF the Reichstag 10 discuss the ex~
pulsion. II the Reichstag remains firm
immediate dissolution is inevitable.
PAYMENT OF MEMBERS.
A renewal of the Socialist proposal
a hnI fah Ia 2 IF 10 "a I
tion, forbldding the payment OF members
OF the Reichstag, obtains daily more sup
port from the Progressists, but the meas
uTe has no chance of adoption III presents
An excited debate took place Thursday,
frat on the proposal OF the Conservatives
making the duration OF the Reichstag FIVE
years instead Of three, as at present, and
the Progresslsts' condemnation that the
mandates of the deputies be limited TO
two years, and that the executive have
no power TO anticipate dissolution. Her.
rem Rickert, Windth0rst, Haert and Bebel
made speeches, which disclosed the fact
that the latter motion involved a question
OF no confidence in Prince Bismarck.
THE CATHOLIC ONSLAUGHT.
Herr Windthorst, leader Of the Catholic
party, declared that the proposal for fiye-
year Parliaments aimed at enfeebling the
national Will and assisting Prince Bis
mark to be absolute dictator. The MEM
bers Of the Right and National Liberals
supported the five years' scheme, while
the Progressist, Socialist, Catholic and
Centre parties oppose il, and are able 20
defeat the measure. Herr Windth0rst re-
fuses to supports the proposal for two-year
sessions. The result Of the adjourned de-
bate will be the maintenance Of the pres.
ent triennal session.
The latest complexion OF the political
parties In the Landtag, as reported by the
statistical bureaus, differs somewhat
from the previously published reports,
and 10 as follows: Conservatives 100,
Ultramontanes 100, National Liberals IS,
Conservative Liberals 50. Progressists "A,
Poles 10, Independents 10,

BELGRADE, Dec. IA telegram from
the front states that long and bloody en-
gagement took place to-day between the
Servians aud Bulgarians. The town of
Nelikiizoot was wrested from the possess
sion OF two battalions belonging to the
Prot division Of the Bulgarian army, who
attacked the Servians. Upon finding
themselves outnumbered, the Bulgarians
made signs that they wished to surrender.
The Seryians, who were mostly elderly men
belonging TO the second reserve, shouted
in reply: "YOu have already deluded our
children (meaning the youths OF the first
reserve) in that fashion, but you will not
delude u.s." Thereupon they charged the
Bulgarians with bayonets, scattering
them in every direction. The Bulgarians
left many dead and wounded on the field.
The Servians claim brilliant victory.
Much enthusiasm is manifested in Bel
grade over the success of the Servians.

sion of measures for mediation between

ling, saying that in calling out the reserves

Mr.. Depew handed to the probate clerk
two type written copies of the will, which
he said he had verified In person. Each
copy contains 10 pages of type written
matter.
NO CoDIcILs.
Mr.. Anderson stated that there was no
codicils upon the petition. The clerk
issued citations to the widow and daugh-
tiers the sons being petitioners were not
cited returnable on the Both inst, at IL
O'Clock The party then left the office.
subsequently Chauncey NJ. Depew IN
conversation said that the family were
well pleased with the disposition of the
property, and that there would be no con-
test of the will. Concerning the stock
devised to the children, Mr.. Depew said
there was an understanding among them
that none OF the stock should be disposed
OF by any one OF them without the con-
sent of all the others. In this way the
railroad property known as the Wander
bilt system will be preserved in its en-
tirety and Mr.. Vanderbilts roads Will
continue under control of the family.
THE FAMINE FUND.
Interesting facts are herewith made
known in connection with the famine fund
for Ireland raised by the New York
Herald, and the basis of which was $780,
600 given by James Gordon Bennett.
William II. Vanderbilt was willing tohaVe
added to Mr.. Bennetts 100000 an equal
sum of money upon conditions. The con-
ditiors imposed by Mr.. Vanderbilt were
that the famine fund should all be eX-
pended in the great West of the United
States, where provisions and cereals we're
cheap, for food, which should be sent to
Ireland in feet of ships, which Wander
bilt offered to fit out. He also offered to
land this vast store of sustenance mate
rial in New York from the West free OF
all charges for transportation.
vANDERBILT's AIM.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's expressed wish in the
matter was twofOld-frst, that the money
raised should be expended on American
soil for American products. and that the
sufferers should be relieved and sus-
tanned without being obliged to pay into
the hands of English landlords money
raised in America; and, as stated, to this
end Mr.. Vanderbilt was willing to cover
Mr.. Benefits 100000 with another
100000 and besides that pay the trans
pOrtati0n of the purchased products from
the West and fiji out a fleet of ships to
carry it to the sufferers abroad. but Mr..
Bennett preferred to send the cash to the
other side, which Mr.. Vanderbilt declined
to do. He, however, gave to the famine
fund his check for $4,000, but this upon
condition, the condition being that the
fact Of his gift should not in any way be-
come known.
