consisted OF the FrelSlnnlge, Socialist
and Volksparties and eighteen members
of the Centre party. Of the Centrist
members who voted against the bill,
sixteen were from Bavaria and two
from Baden. They refused to follow
DR.. Windthorst in accepting Chancellor
Won Caprivi's assurances that extern
slve leaves of absence would be granted
after two years service. and that annual
budgets would be presented which
would enable the reichstag to control
the fiXiation of peace effective The
chancellor's concessions practically
amount to little, but they sufficed to
give the bulk of the Centre party
an excuse for voting for the bill.
The house next passed to its second
reading the budget committees report
striking out the credit demanded by the
government for raising the pay of
officers below the rank of colonel.
Baron Maltzahn, the imperial secretary
of the treasury,and Gen. Verdy-duVer-
noiS, the minister of war, again advo-

without avail. The supplementary
estimates, amounting to 73,6O0,0O0
marks, which are mainly intended for
military purposes, were referred to the
budget committee. The government
having now secured the passage of the
army bill, the house can adjourn early
i'll July until November, when bills
bearing on the labor question will form
the chief work of the reichstag. The
bill concerning the acquisition
of Heligoland anG the financial
plans of the government by which the

met will remain undiscloSed until the
winter session. Sir Edward Malet, the
British ambassador. had an important
conference with Chancellor Won Cap
rivi yesterday on the subject Of the OPP
position of the French government to
the East African agreement. The note
of nj. RibOt, the French minister of for
eign affairs, protesting against the es-
tabliShment of protectOrate over Zan-
Zibar affects the German claims to the
littoral within the sultanate, and also
the proposed acquisition Of Malta. The
conference resulted in an agreement to
take simultaneous action in opposing
the right of France to interfere. The
English government has prepared re-
ply to M. Ribot to the effect that if the
sultan accepts the protection of En-
gland or any other power the treaty OF
1862 gives France
No Right to Object
and further that the Anglo-German ar
Management does not attack the indie
pendence of the sultan, protection not
involving subsection. The English note
will be presented to NJ. Ribot early next
week, and will be supported by a dip
lomatic intimation of Germany'S con-
currence. French press reports that
Lord Salisbury's reply was handed to
Nj, Ribot to-day are untrue, The, Reich
sanzeiger to-day vindicates the Anglo
German agreement as made in the In
terestS of the German East Africa COM
pany. The colonial sOcietv's opposition,
which is based upon the idea that Ger
man commercial expansion has been
sacrificed. is declared to be inconsistent
with the facts. Instead of neglecting
the interests of the company, the
government, after the transfer of
the coast line with Malta,

to develop trade and agriculture on the
coast will find ample support from the

Bismarck to a deputation that waited

would crush the German trade in East
Africa. The English might, at the out
set of the protectOrate. treat with COM
plaisance the Hamburg merchants who
have settled in Zanzibar, but they
would soon contrlve to GUST them.
Baron WiSsmann, since his interviews
with the emperor and Chancellor Won
Caprivi, has modified his dislike to the
cession of Zanzibar to the English. At
Gen. Won Caprivi's ministerial dinner he
said there were good harbOrS on the
mainland, from which ready access could
be had to the interior, and he was as
sured of immense developments of Ger
man trade outside of the sphere of En-
glish competition. The Germans, he
declared,
Need Not BE Jealous
of foreign traders, as there was ample
room for everybody in Africa. Baron
Wissmann will not return to Zanzibar,
but will be attached to the colonial de-
partment here. The renewal of the
dreibund until 1895 has been the subject
of negotiations between Signor Crispi,
the Italian premier, and Count Kalnoky,
the Austro-Hungarian prime minister.
The new treaty, though unsigned, is
effectively assured, the communications
which have already been exchanged
committing the governments to the eX-
tension of the period of the compact.
Prime Minister Crispi accelerated the
renewal of the agreement by calling
Gen. Won Caprivis attention to the at
tacks upon Italy by DR.. Windthorst and
tine tactics of the German clericals in at
tempting to limit the alliance to Austria.
Gen Won Caprivi seized the occasion of
the debate Oh the army bill to declare
that the alliance with Italy would con-
tinue even if SCR. CriSpi were not pre-
mier. Although Crispi represented
guarantees of peace. another Italian
minister might find himself confronted
by serious difficulties. The porte has
