BERLIN, June 9.-The committee of
the reichstag on the army bill held
another session to-day. Chancellor Won
Caprivi appeared before the committee
and expressed his concurrence in the
statement made by Gen. Verdy du Yer
nois, minister of war, that it would be
impossible to reduce the term of COM
pulsory military service. Herren
Richter and Rickert, leaders of the
Freisinnige party, declared that the bill
would not be acceptable to their party
unless the term of service were
shortened. In the course of his
remarks the chancellor said the
withdrawal of Prince Bismarck had left
affairs, from their nature, less secure
than when his fascinating personality
still figured before the world. A thou

he said, was being consolidated. Allud
ing to Serviay he said he regretted the
excessive growth of radicalism in that
country.
Kalnoky declared that, owing to the
sharply defined individuality of the
highly gifted and energetic emperor of
Germany, the change in the German
chancellorship had no more effect in
the relations OF the two empires than
had the change of experors. These re-
lationS were never clearer or firmer or
more intimate than now. The govern
ment saw Caprivi at the head of affairs
with no less confidence than when Bis
marck was in control. The country's
relations with other powers were
perfectly satisfactory. The radl-
calism of Servia foreshad0Wed a
tension, but Servia was too weak alone
to cause complications. Austria had
never failed to remind Servia that it
was advisable to cultivate friendship
with Russia, which need not entail hos
tility toward Austria. Replying to
questions, Count Kalnoky said that no
steps had been taken to conclude inter-
national agreements of an American
protection tendency, but the govern
ments interested had been sounded on
the subject. All the foreign estimates,
including an increased appropriation
for the secret service, were unanimously

The action of DIR. Rieger, the leader of the
Old Czechs, and twenty other members Of
that party in announcing their intention of

due to the attitude in that body of the New

followers cannot consistently act. Though

Declaration Against Absentee
Landlordism in America.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.-Repre-
sentative Oates, of Alabama, from the
committee on the judiciary, to-day re-
ported to the house the bill to prohibit
aliens from acquiring title to OF owing
lands within the United States. An
elaborate report accompanied the bill.
In it the committee says the power Of
the government to totally exclude
aliens from coming within its jurisdic-
ton, as has been done in the case of the
Chinese, no one questions. This sover-
eign power certainly includes the lesser
one of defining what property rights
they may exercise after they are ad-
mitted, and during the continuance of
their alien condition. "YOur COM
mittee ascertained," says the re-
port, "with reasonable certainty,
hat certain noblemen of Europe, prin-
cipally Englishmen, have acquired and
now own in the aggregate about 81, ,OOO,-
600 acres of land within the United
States. We have not sufficient infor-
nation to state the quantity owned by
untitled aliens; nor is it so important,
as it Is generally held In smaller bodies,
This alien nonresident ownership will,
in the course of time, lead to a system
of landlordism Incompatible with the
best interests and free institutions of

WOMEN ARE BARRED.

County Councils.
LONDON, June 9.-The house of lords
to-day rejected the bill to enable women
to serve as members of county councils.
While, from the known consensus of
opinion among the lords on this subject,
their action was not surprising, it was
still thought that the presence of Miss
Golden and Miss Cons in the London
county council by virtue of popular
election, and the additional fact that
no protest against their being seated
was lodged within the year succeeding
their election, would exercise greater
influence over the obdurate peers.
There is now resolution before the
house of commons calling attention to
the exclusion of women from the par
liamentary franchise, and practically
motion to allow women, otherwise
legally qualified, to exercise this privi-
lege. Although not as ancient as the
deceased Wife's sister" bill, this mo-
ton crops up from time to time, and it
is interesting to note its growing
strength as it returns to its place on the
parliamentary table. Since 1872 women
have voted for members of town cOun-
ellis. and in the years intervening the
privilege of voting for school boards.
poor law guardians and other local
bodies has been added. The parlia-
mentary committee also rejected to-day
the "unearned increment" clause in the
bill providing for the widening and
general improvement of the Strand.

ABERDEEN, S. D., June 9.-The action
of the Farmers alliance convention at
Huron in determining to call an inde-
pendent convention at Huron. July 9, is
the absorbing topic among politicians.
The action taken proved a surprise to the
majority of those not within the inner
circles of the alliance, and some of the
latter, men prominent in the past his
tory of the organization, evidently un-
derestimated the strength of the lnde-
pendent sentiment. They at least pro-
fessed to believe that no steps looking
to third party movement in the state
would be taken at Huron. Republicans
here are disconnected by the unexpected
turn of affairs, while Democrats accept
the situation complacently. From dele
gates returning from the convention it
is learned that a similar movement is
probable both in North Dakota and in
Minnesota. ''South Dakota, as the best
organized state in the Northwest, takes
the initiative" said a prominent dele
gate, ''and there would be nothing sur
prlsing in the fact should the alliance
element in North Dakota, Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas wheel into

Special to the Globe.
KAssoN, Minn., June 9.-The most
important and interesting legal contest
in Dodge county. or, in fact, in this sec
ton of Minnesota, is the case of Tunis
Slingerland against his father, Tunis S.
Slingerland. The case has been tried
twice in the district court here and once
in the supreme court. Able counsel
have been engaged in the litigation on
both sides. Hon. Gordon E, Cole, Hon.
c. K. Davis, Frank B. Kellogg and
George B. Edgerton represent
ed the young man Slingerland,
while Hon. Thomas Wilson, G. G..
Wilson and Lusk & Bum represented
the father. The contest involved LAO
acres of land valued at about $4,000,
and large amount OF stock, machinery
and other personal property. The land
is included in what is known as ''Sacra-
mento Farm" Judge Severance has
rendered a decision in the case giving
the property to the son. The story in
substance of it Is as follows: There
were five actions pending in the court
of this county March 5, 1886, between the
father and son. Prior to that date Tunis
Slingerland and Estella Brooks were
engaged to be married. The elder
Slingerland knew of this engagement.
While the court was trying one of the
cases the father proposed to the son
that if he would dismiss the
suits against him and turn over to him
(the elder Slingerland) on the day of the
sons marriage certain money in the
county treasury-which was then in
litigation-that then the father, on the
day of marriage. would deed the son
ssSacramento Farm" and all the stock,
machinery and personal property
thereon. The offer was accepted by
the son, and he dismissed the cause
then in course of trial, as well as the
others pending against his father. The
mandamus issued on the county treas
urer by the father was dismissed, and
the son turned over the money in liti-
cation to his father. The young man
and EstelIa Brooks were married on
March 81, 1886. The father did not
make the deed as he promised, and the
son, on Dec. 6, 1886, commenced
this action, after having de manded
deed for sacramento Farm"
Judge Severance in his decision finds
that the son is entitled to a specific per-
formance of the agreement with his
father, and the elder Slingerland is di
rected to make the deed referred to
within thirty days; and. in case he fails
to do SO, judgment is to be entered
transferring the title of said lands to
the son in lieu Of the conveyance, and
directing certified copy of the judg-
ment to be recorded in the register of
deeds office. The case has attracted
wide interest in this section Of the state
because of its peculiar features and the

LIVERPOOL, June 9.-The Anchor

o'clock yesterday morning, during
dense fog, while en- route from New

the passengers were leaving the steamer
they loudly cheered Capt. Young, who

at the time the steamer struck. Most
of them came on deck fully dressed.
The fog was so dense that lights could
not be seen a ships length away.
The steamer was SO close to the rock
that any one leaning directly over the
bow of the steamer could touch it. Some
Of the passengers saw people from the
Fastnet lighthouse looking over the
rock at them. One passenger alleges
that he reached from the steamer and
plucked a flower that was growing in a
crevice of the rock which she struck.
There was intense excitement among

MARsHALLTowN, To-, June sc. 81.
Brock, member of the Eighth Iowa
cavalry, in rummaging through old rec
ords of the county, discovered among
the proceedings of the board of super
visors in 1868, that on Dec. 7, of that
year, it passed resolution granting to
every man who should enlist after that
date S150. In the January following
the board passed another resolution
granting bounty to all who had enlist
ed before, or should enlist after that
date, due in annual $50 payments, with
5 per cent interest on the unpaid
amounts. Brock accordingly filed a
claim Saturday for $125, as he had re-
ceived S25 when he enlisted. and the ac-
crued compound interest for over twen-
ty-seven years, amounting to over 5000.
He further discovered that it would
take over 100000 to pay the claims to
which soldiers from this county are en-
titled. The only thing which can pre-
vent the collection of these claims is
the statute of limitations, which, it is
said, does OF apply to debts of govern
ment to its defenders. Exciting de-
yelOpmentS are expected.

such system is being laid broadly in
the Western states and territories. The
avarice and enterprise of European
capitalists, the report continues, nave
caused them to invest many millions in
American railroad and land bonds, Gov
ering perhaps 100,000,000 acres, the
greater part of which under foreclosure
sales will most likely, before many
years, become the property OF these
foreign bondholders, in addition to their
present
PrinceIy Possessions.
This aggressive foreign capital is not
confined to the lands it has purchased,
but, overlapping its boundaries. has
caused hundreds of miles of the public
domain to be fenced up for the grazing
of vast herds of cattle and set at de-
fiance the rights of the honest but hum
BILE settler. The bill proposes to place
these aliens under the disabilities OF the
civil law as to all future attempts to ac-
quire lands in this country" In other
words, the report says the bill is dec
laratiOn against absentee landlordism.
1t declares all forelgn-born persons
who have not been naturalized incapa-
BILE of taking the title to lands any
where within the United States except
leasehold for not exceeding five years,
and it has no retroactive, only prospect
i've operation. 1t also contains pro-
vision which will compel alien land
owners to cease to be such or to become
citizens of the United States within
ten years. The bill, the report says,
would prevent any more abuses
like that of Mr.. Scully, who
resides in England, and is subject of
the queen, but owns 10000 acres in
Illinois, occupied by tenants. mostly
ignorant foreigners, from whom he re-
ceiveS as rent 100000 yearly, and ex-
pends it in Europe. The Scheuley
estate of about 1900 acres. within the
city limits of Pittsburg and Allegheny,
from the rents of which the Scheuleys,
who are subjects of the British queen,
draw annually not less than 100000, is
another instance of alien landlOrdiSm
in America. The tenth census shows
that the United States has 1000 tenant
farmers, the largest number possessed
by any nation in the world. In con-
clusion the polt.says: ssWith the nat
ural increase in people, and the 100000
foreigners who flock to our shores an
nually, and by competition are reducing
the wages of labor, making the battle OF
life harder to win. how, few years
hence, to provide homes for our people
