dERMANY's ARMY BILL.
The Government Not Yet Overcoming
the Opposition.

the Opposition.
BERLIN, June 9.-The committee of the
Reichstag on the army bill held another
session to-day. Chancellor Won Caprivi ap-
peared before the committee aud expressed
his confidence in the statement made by
Gen. Verdy du Vernois. minister of war,
that it would be impossible to reduce the
term of compulsory military service. The
chancellor alluded to the resignation of
Prince Bismarck, and said that though his
withdrawal from the chancellorship had
rendered the conduct of business difficult, il
had made no change whatever in Germany's
relations with other governments.
Herr Richter and the rich leaders of the
Freisinnge party declared that the bill
would not be acceptable to their parties
unless the term of service was shortened.
The prospects for an entente between the
government and the opposition on the bill
is therefore remote. Chancellor Won Caprivi
said that when he assumed office he found
the plans for the future already prepared.
lie and Gen. Verdy du Vernois intended to
tell the Reichstag openly the full truth.
A MILITARY CHANCELLOR.
The Enpress had asserted that If mill
tary man was chancellor there would be
endless military demands. This view was
entirely unfounded. He was anxious to
emphasize the fact that he had only given
his adhesion to plans that his great
predecessor had already approved.
The question of raising tho funds
necessary TO increase the army would
be settled by the federal governments.
The Bupdesrath had not yet decided the
question of fixing the peace effective annu-
ally. He therefore could not say whether
Herr Rickert's proposal to fix the peace
effective annually would be acceptable to
the Bundesrath.
Herr Bennigza and Herr Windthorst de-
clared that the chancellor's statement was
satisfactory and clarified the situation.
Herr Liebknecht reiterated the objections
OF the socialists against the bill, which he
said would be maintained

BALTIMORE, June 9.-Mayor Davidson
to-day sent the following communication to
the city council: "In announcing to your
honorable body that 1 have signed the
