GERMANy's DOGS OF WAR.
Peace Only Maintained by Keeping Up
q Big Army.

Peace only Maintained by Keeping Up
a Big Army.
BERLIN, May 14--During the debate in
tho Reichstag to-day on the military bill,
Gen. Verdy duVernois. minister of war, OK
planned the provisions of tho measure and
addressed the House in its support. He
urged that Germany ehould keep pace with
other powers and reorganize her army.
Count Won Moltke also spoke in support
of the bill. The European situation. he
said, is always growing more difficult II is
imperative that Germany should have a
strong military system. A strong govern
peace.
MUST BE ON HER GUARD
Despite the pacific assurances Of the for
eign powers, Germany must herself pro-
vide for her own security. lie believed
that all the powers are Practically
disposed, but security can only be made
certain by Germany's own efforts. There
is no one who doesn't hesitate to throw n
match In the powder barrel. The better
the army is organized and the more pre-
pared it is for war the more would the pow
ers be inclined to maintain the peace. or
course the maintenance OF the army on
war footing demands the expenditure of
large amounts OF money, but the country
should not hesitate TO expend whatever
sums may be necessary. The point to be
carefully considered is this: "If we econo-
mize in our war Expenditures the most bril-
liant financial situation that we may be able
to create will not insure the exclusion Of
enemies from the fatherland.n
RICHTER OPPOSES 1T.
Herr Richter, leader of the progreSsist
liberals, said that while the preamble to the
bill justified the measure by reference to
the increase of the peace effective OF the
French army, the House ought to con-
slider that this increase in France was &C.
companied by reduction in the time Of
service to two years. He was of the opinion
that a two years compulsory
term of service in the German
army would also be sufficient
for the interest of the empire He said
that the Reichstag ought to form its own
views and not form a decision based on the
views OF the military.
Gen. Verdy du Vernois replied that the
government, when asking for previous
credits, had never maintained that the in
creases then demanded were final

COTTAGES FOR IRISH roILERs.
The Parnellites Spring a Surprise on
Government

oONCAAlubnL.
LONDON, May 14.-In the House Of Com
mons, this afternoon Josh Francis Fox,
nationalist, moved second reading of the
Irish agricultural laborers' bill. The bill
proposes the use Of the church surplus TO
assist in the erection of laborers' cottages
Mr.. Johbston, conservative member for
South Belfast, moved the rejection OF the
bill on the ground that the surplus was not
sufficient to cover the charges of the land
bill and the laborers' bill
David Plunket accused the Parnellites of
trying to snatch the division. He said they
had assembled in full force at time when
members were absent, in order to get the
bill read the second time. The object Of
this was to destroy the laborers' clauses
in the land bill, He reminded
the house that Mr.. Dillon had
protested against the appropriation
OF the church surplus land bill as being
purely fund which he wanted for educa--
tonal purposes when home rule was OBJ
tanned. Yet here were the Parnelites pro-
posing to devote the surplus TO the building
of laborers' houses.
A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
T. w. Russell, unionist, moved to adj
journ; He said that not a single clause of
the bill had been explained. It was an at
tempt to stab the land bill in the back.
Secretary Balfour commented on the ST.
lence of the Irish leaders on the measure.
Nobody seemed to think it necessary TO ex-
plain the provisions of the bill In view Of
this state of affairs he would support the
motion for adjournment.
MIR. Russell's motion to adjourn was lost
by a vote Of "a to 68. The announcement
OF the result was received with cheers by
the Parnellites.
Mr. Parnall than uovad that tha o,,as&,o,,
Of second reading DO now put.
The speaker declined TO put the motion,
the House desiring to continue the debate
Secretary Belfour charged the Parnellites
with introducing the measure through a
mere desire to embarrass the government.
The member who had moved second read
ing Of the bill and the member who had
seconded the motion had taken up between
them ten minutes. Their conduct was I'M
mlstakable. They did not mean
to obtain advantages for laborers. but TO In
jure the land bill.
SIGNIFICANCE DENIED.
The circumstance under which the bill
had been debated would deprive any vote
that might come of any Significance.
Whatever was the decision the government
would attach To- it no Importance. .[Par.
nellite cheers.l
Second reading of the bill was agreed
to without division amid prolonged irish
cheers.
The defeat of the government was due
to q blunder of the conversative
wings, who notified the members
of the government party that their presence
would be required at 4 o'clock. This be-
came known 10 the Parnellites, who at
tended in full strength at noon, and, after
short speeches had been made, rushed the
division before the conservatives could be
mustered.

RIVERS AND HARBoaS.
An Effort to be Made to Pass the Ap-
preparation Bill.


WASHINGTON, May 14-Although the
party managers are opposed to the river
and haI Dor bill. the committees having it in
charge in the two houses are going to try to
get 1t through, counting on the support Of
all the men in both houses whose constitu-
ents are interested in its appropriations to
carry it even over a possible Veto Chair
man Henderson of the House committee
spoke for both when he said to-day: ~
hope to get a vote on the bill as soon as the
tariff question is disposed Of in the House,
which will be to-day week. The river and
harbor bill is in the interest of the whole
country and ought to pass. Yes; / have
had suggestions that it be postponed until
next session, but they come from persons
with whom the wish is father to the
thought. It's great mistake to assume
that it would be politically inexpedient to
pass the river and harbor bill. / believe it
would be fine stroke Of political wisdom.
CLEvELAND's MISTAKE.
~ think it was one of Mr.. Cleveland's
greatest mistakes to oppose river and har-
Dor legislation. The present bill has been
carefully framed with view to carrying
on the more important of the public
works. 1t gives to the big rivers and har-
bors about all that was asked for in the
engineers estimates, and to the small
streams but little. Our bill is not open to
the criticisms made against SO many that in
framing them favoritism and log rolling
obtained. If / were President l would in
sst on the passage of this river and harbor
bill 1t not only constructs waite ways and
benefits navigation and commerce., but it
does good in distributing money in all Sec
tionS of the country
