ALARMIST RUMORS.

A Statement in the Court Circular that
Ris Majesty's Health is Thoroughly

casions-Other News from Unter den
Linden.
BERLIN, Dec 4.-The emperor drove out
at noon to-day. 1t was his first outing in
ten days. If the tattle in Paris and Vienna
had any basis his condition would be Sc
rious enough to alarm Germany. French
papers insist that his ear malady has
reached a critical phase, causing an
unceasing purulept discharge, and that Drs.
Bergman, Bardeleben aud others hold
daily consultations. The truth is, that the
emperor has seen neither Of the physicians

activity was at its greatest set ali rumors

conference with DIR. Lucanus, chief OF
the civil cabinet. He also saw
Count Won Schellendorf, for the purpose it
is supposed, of consulting on the progress
of the army estimates in the reichstag,
where debate is expected on an increase for
the artillery. Among the latest orders
issued by the emperor is one prohibiting
officers in Berlin and other great garrison
towns, under penalty of five days arrest,
from using civilian dress when OF duty.
The custom has been growing among the
officers to throw aside their military garb
on every possible occasion. This does not
meet Emperor Williams aim, his object
being to glorify military functions.
THE ARTILLERY APPROPRIATION.
The report that the government intended
to ask an appropriation Of $4,000, COO marSs
for field artillery, became the subject for a
question In the reich tag. Herr Richter
asked whether the rumor which first ap-
peared in the Cologne Gazette had any
foundation.
Gen. Won Schellendorf, minister of war,
admitted that it was true that, in view Of
the large artillery equipments OF foreign
countries, an increase OF the German artil-
]ery equipments was under consideration.

field artillery with thaS Of other count; les

added to the budget and has increased the
distrust previously felt.

WEST vIRGINIA's RECOUNT.
The Governorship and a Congress
man slip Away from Quay.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Dec 4.-The re-
count in this county was completed last
night. The result shows that Anderson,
dem, for congress from the Third district,
gained 25 in the city, which elects him by
II Fleming, dem, for governor, gained
% votes. This will, it is believed, give the
democrats the governor also.
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The receipt of the
news of the result of the recounti in Charles
ton, W. Va. by which Anderson, the demo-
cratic candidate for congress from the
Third district, is given "A majority of II,
and the election of Fleming, tine democratic
candidate tor governor, probably assured,
did not disturb the republican leaders, so
they say They assert that their majority
in the House in the Fifty-flrst congress,
with the West Virginia delegation solidy
democratic, will be 5. Gen. Clarke says
certificates of election have been issued in
every state, except West Virginia, so that no
further change il probable. There have
been no additional ones received, however,
by the clerk of the House since the last re-
port.
The only apparent effect of the West Vir-
ginia news was to slightly strengthen the
sentiment among the republican members
in favor Of holding an extra session soon
after tho beginning of the new adminlstra-
ton. 1t is conceded that Gen. Harrison
will make his action in this matter conform
largely to the wishes Of the members-elect.

CONGRESS WILLDO
THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION
GIVEN IN OUTLINE.

Republican Senators Determine to
Pass Their Tariff Bill before the Holi-
day Recess-The Democrats in the
Lower House Expected to Stand by
the Mills Bill and Push the Appro-
priatiOn Bills.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The business to
be done by congress this session was pretty
well outlined by the leaders in both houses
to-day. The republicans in the Senate
rather astonished the democrats by keeping
she promises Mr.. Allison made and bringing
forward the tariff bill, with the announce
ment that they proposed to put it through
the senate without further speech-making
before the holiday recess. To do this they
Stunned the Union Pacific (Outhwai!e) bill,
which was a special order for to-day, and
all other business. The democrats were so
surprised that they did not have the
amendments thlt they are going to prpose
ready, so Mr.. Vance, having failed to get
the bill read in full to consume the time, had
to ask postponement until tomorrow.
ATTITUDE OF THE HOUSE.
The House democrats, except Mr.. Ran
doll and Mr.. Sowden, are fully unite1.
Chairman Mills says it is the purpose to stand
by the Mills bill and to non-concur in the
action of the Senate, should it substitute
the Allison bill for it, The House demo-
Gratis are determined to make the appropri-
alton bills the business of the session. They
propose to put them right through, so that
President Harrison. If he calls an extra
session of the next congress, can not charge
the responsibility of it to the neglect of the
House.
FILLING IN THE SPARE TINE.
When the House is not considering ap-
propriation bills, the democrats will permit
the considerar ton of the bills enabling the
admission of Dakota las whole, Montana
Washington and New Mexico, and the bill
creating a territorial form of government
for OkohOma. The former will probably
pass the House. Then the Senate will
amend it by dividing Oak ia and striking
out New Mexico. Then some compromise
nav bo arranged in conference. The re-
publicans would probably concede New
Mexico if the democrats would concede the
division Of Dakota.
OTHER BILLS DOOMED.
The Chace international copyright bill
may pass in the House. But in the opinion
of q democratic member of the committee
on rules neither the Union Pacific refuuding
bill, the Blair educational bill. nor any
other important bill will get through at
this session. "The appropriation bills' he
said, "are the only ones certain to become
laws He added that the democrats felt
bound in honor to permit vote on the Sen
ate direct tax bill. He thought it would
pass the Senate and that the President
would promptly veto it.

CoLQUITT's REELECTION.
His Colleagues at Washington Con-
Rratulate Him.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.--When Senator
Colquitt appeared In the Senate chamber
this morning he was at once surrounded by
his colleagues anxious to offer their CON
gratulations to him upon his reelection.
He was kept busy in this agreeable way
until the Senate adjourned. Some of them
had not heard of the farcial attempt to
create opposition to his reelection. Those
who had could hardly credit the report.
All agreed that the reported attempt was
utterly unwarrantable by democrats. How
ever they congratulated Senator Colqultt
the more heartily for it. Some OF the
democratic leaders afterward sent their
congratulations to Georgia through the
NEWS correspondent
CoLQUIrr'S POPULARITY.
Senator Colquitt's great influence here is
due as much to his personal popularity as to
his ability and attainments. All genuine
democrats in both houses reioiced in his re-
election as n tribute to his courage and
fidelity as well as a rebuke to the pseudo
democracy. But the democratic leaders in
both houses rejoiccd also as his personal
friends, Senator Colquitt's reelection set
Georgia right before the country on the
tariff question. 1t was a qualification on
this account to President Cleveland as well
as to the other democrats, but his personal
respect and regard for Senator Colquitt
greatly deepened the Presidents feeling.

BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The series of resolutions
tabled by DR.. Windthorst in the reichstag
relating to the governments East African
policy will find support among the govern
ment groups with some qualification. The
first article expresses the conviction of the
reichstag that it is necessary to combat the
slave trade without mercy in order to win
over Africa to christian civ ilizatian. The
second resolution pledges that the reichstag
will pay attention IN aud examine the
measures of the combined powers, approx
ing all the legitimate means taken for

defends the German East Africa Company
against the charge Of causing naval re-
volt by oppression, and declares that it is
indispensable that an armed expedition
assist in the blockade. He ilvokes all
European people to unite in the crusade,
not agairst the native, but against the
Moslem slave trade, the sole source Of the
evils of slavery.

report, the engineer, assistant engineer
and tenkman went, successfully, to
see what was wrong, and each in turn was
seized and bound like Coleman. The II urg-
lars worked hard 10 open the sac, but at 4
o'clock they broke the drill and gave up the

CRITICISED.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Standard says OF
President Cleveland's message:
Mr.. Clevelands message might have been
more gracious and dignified could he have
effaced from his recollection the unsuccessful
election coup which sullied an otherwise honor
able record. We did not expect to Fl him re-
peating his original error to show that he was
not ashamed Of himself.
SOLEMN FRoTH.
After quoting the references to the Sack
vile matter in the message the Standard
proceeds in a similar strain and runs
through sentence otter sentence Of solemn
froth. "Englishmen," it says, ''can afford
ia smile at such puerile nonsense, and even
Americans will not pretend to take it in good
earnest Doubtless Lord Sackville was
technically wrong, but Ministers Lowell
aud Phelps committed themselves in the
same way, though not in the same degree,
scores of times in their addresses to English
men, which we treated with much edifica-
ton and not the smallest trace of resent
ment."
The Standard thinks the fisheries question
now has chance Of being settled.
