Sensations Near at Hand.
BERLIN, Sept. 1.-The coming session
Of the Reichstag Is not expected TO be
either stormy or sensational. Among
the most important measures to be in.
troduced Is bill which the Government
is preparing for credits to augment and
reorganizeyt the army, in view OF the
continual Increase of the French and
Russian armaments.
The members Of the ReiChstag and the
public are being prepared for the bill by
significant articles In all the official or.
gans. These papers are demanding an
Increase OF the German forces which Is
calculated on the effective force that the
new French military law will enable
France to put into the field. The Radi.
cal newspapers have begun an agitation
for reduction OF compulsory military
service with the Colors.
THEY MUST DRILL.
The term Is three years, and the Radl.
Gals want it reduced to two years. The
War Office will not entertain the sug.
gestion. The Bundcsrath, which meets
about the end OF September, will begin
It's work by examining the Socialist law
and discussing a project for the reform
OF the Imperial Bank.
Several petitions have been sent To
the Government from Alsace-L Lorraine
asking that the authorities there be In
structed 10 mitigate the rigors OF the
passport regulations. The petitions have
thus far met with no response from the
Government. The Strasburg Ldndes.
Zsitung even reports that the permission
hitherto accorded In parishes adjoining
the frontier 10 dispense with the exhibi'
tion OF passports where there are fire..
quent crossings for business purposes is
now withdrawn.

Zeitung, commenting upon the ap.
pearance Of the English Blue Book,
SAYS that the object seems TO be TO
demonstrate anew, in spite Of German
INDIGNATION MEETINGS
and revilings against England in regard
TO the Emin relief expedition, the fact
that the Anglo.G German understanding
has not undergone the slightest inter
ruption. The HpSsiScle Zeitung believes
that this entente precludcs the posslbil.

The BorSsn Zeitung declares that dur
ing the negotiations lor a joint blockade
Germany gave formal assurance that
Emin'S province, including Wadelai,
though officially abandoned by Egypt,
should still be regarded, at least provis.
ionally, as belonging TO Egypt. The as
sertion that formal agreemant was
made Ia perhaps exaggerated, but the
