BERLIN, Dec 13-The commission on the
new military bill has concluded the general de-
bate on the measure. It has decided to allow
the bill to be read the first and second times,
and then discuss it's clauses separately.
General Won Schellendorff, the War Minister,
declared that any statement from the imperial
government relating to the countrys foreign re-
lations could only be made known in responsible
form in a public sitting of the Reichstag. The
imperial Chancellor himself, if present at a sit
ting of tho commission. would refrain
from explaining in detail Germany's
relations with other powers. The gov
ernment's possible action could not
be revealed without prejudice to the German
policy of peace, and the situation was not yet
sufficiently ripe to be debated publicly. If the
motives which led the government to declare ur-
gency for the measure failed to satisfy the COM
mission. Prince Bismarck could disclose nothing
more, because he saw that further information
might injure the interests of Germany.
The North German Gazette refutes the asser-
tions of the Tagblatt and other papers that the
demand for additional army credits constitutes
an admission that German interests are serious.

mapd, the Gazette says 'simply means that
the German army, in comparison with the forces
of other powers, has become numerically weak. "

A Combination of Senators Said To BE Work
ing Against the Proposition.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Dec. ia good deal of i'm
patience is being shown by the friends of the
proposition 20. consider in open sSsskon0f the
Senate nominations made by the President on
account Of the seeming fear entertained by a
number of Senators to be placed on record on
this subject. 1t has been openly intmated that
there is combination of Senators who are op-
posed to this measure working against
the final consideration of it. 1t is
little strange that a number of the most cour-
ageous and blunt Senators on the floor of the
chamber are opposing open sessions for the con-
sideration of executive nominations. They oppose
it on the ground that open sessions will not ad-
nit of that free and full debate upon the char
acter of nominees which is necessary to secure
impartial judgment. Undoubtedly the open
session resolution introduced by Mr.. Platt year
ago has grown in favor, but there is such q
strong combination against its consideration
and such laxty on the part of those in charge
OF it, that it will either be postponed to
another session or come up in such manner
that it will be defeated. One of the strongest
advocates for open sessions is Senator Logan,
and it is stated that should the Plat resolution
fail of consideration or be defeated if it is
sdered, he will introduce resolution on the
subject and fight for its consideration until it
gets through. He does not believe in the as
sassination of characters behind the closed doors
of the Senate, and publication of their proceed
ings Ill the newspapers in garbled and unfair
light. Neither does Senator Platt

tor, spoke at some length on the question of Sun
people of northern New Jersey. He referred
pointedly to the garing violations of the law
and to the extensive sale of liquor to miners In
speaking of a certain saloon in Orange valley he
described it in such manner that the members
of his congregation could not but know to what
place he referred. Suddenly turning to the
altar, he laid his hand upon it, and to the sur
prise of the congregation, uttered curse on the
saloon. The matter has been the chief topic Of
conversation in all the Oranges to-day.
