He Believes in Keeping the German
Army On War Footing.
BERLIN, May 14th.-During the debate in
the Reichstag. to. day, on the military bill,
the Minister of War explained the proyi-
sions of the measure.
Moltke spoke in support of the European
situation, and declared it was growing most
difficult, and it was imperative that Ger
many should have a strong military sys-
tenn. A strong Government alone would
be able to maintain peace, and there is no
one who does not hesitate to throw a match
into the powder barrel.
He held that all the powers were peace
fully disposed, but security can only be
attained by Germany's cwn efforts. OF
course the maintenance of an army on a
war footing demands the expenditure of
Large amounts of money, but the point to
De considered is this: If we economic in
our war expenditures, the most brilliant
financial sensation we may be able to Gre
ate will not insure the exclusion of onr
enemies from the fatherland.
Richter. the leader of the Progressist
Liberals, said the increase in France was
accompanied by reduction in the time of
service to two years, and we favored the
same for the German army. He main.
tanned that the Reichstag ought to form its
own views, and not form a decision based
on the views of military officers.
General Du Vernois replied that the
Government was preparing a bill to reor-
ganize the army, and a chance would be
offered in the near future to discuss the
subject OF shorter service. For the present
the Government would make no copces-
sions.

SACRAMENTO RIVER.

A Board of Engineers Will Estimate

Marsden Manson, Engineer of the State
Board of Harbor Commissioners, and who
was one of the delegates sent to Washing

in regard to the work of improving the
Sacramento and other rivers: when we
arrived in Washington we met the repre-
sentatives from California, who were
almost unit on the matter of the improv-
ment of our rivers. They advised against
introducing a special bill, however, as it
would be placed at the foot of the calendar,
and would not be reached this season. We
appealed to the War Department, but
found that a resolution had been passed
three or four years ago to make no ap-
preparation for the improvement of the
Sacramento river until it was an assured
fact that hydraulic mining had ceased on
the river.
"A Board of Engineers was appointed
about year ago to inquire into this, but
they have as yet made no report.
I'VE went before the River and Harbor
Committee, and were very flatteringly re-
ceived. The committee gave us every at
tention and consideration, and the Califor-
mia measure was incorporated in the river
and harbor bill. They recommended to
Congress that scheme be devised to make
the necessary improvements, and Board
of Engineers has been appointed to make
a survey and an estimate of the cost of the
required Improvements"
