Tho New Ironclads Show Up Only
Fifteen Knots in Speed
BERLIN. March 6. During the debate on
the motion for second reading Of the navy
budget In the Reichst & to-day Herr Rickert
said that it was impossible for the country
to boar the rapidly increasing burdens which
were imposed upon it. Herr Windthorst,
leader OF the center. said that he would sup
port the decision OF the COM
mittee. Germany, however, could
equal in strength 10 that which England
affords. That cquntry could bear hor large
navy because hef army is small. In con-
clusion Herr Windthorst saidi "Let the
government submit, not fine words but q
practical scheme for strengthening the
navy. The governments proposals. have
created terror throughout Germany"
THE PROPOSALS. NOT NEW.
Chancellor von Caprivi argued that the
proposals were similar TO those made in
1889. The ministry, he said, we're unnni-
nous In the opinion that mere money
would not be desired. The chancellor
proposed that vote for two new ironclads
should be returned to the budget commit
tee where, doubtless. some agreement would
be arrived at. Herr Windthorst agreed to
this, and the House approved Of the sug-
gestion amid cheers.
Herr Richter contended that the revela-
tions Of the commi. tee in regard to the
navy, especially In regard to the new iron
ciads not exceeding fifteen knots au hour.
evoked universal astonishment. Credit, he
said, must be voted, but he urged the neoes-
sity Of caution in building new ships.
HoLLMAEN's ADMISSION.
Admiral HOLMAN, secretary of state for
the marine department, did not deny Herr
Richter's statement, and admitted that a
speed of seventeen knots was not attained.
The department., he said, considered fifteen
knots to be satisfactory, especially as the
vessels were well built and well armed.
Herr Richter denied that the radicals
wished 10 express the idea that they had no
confidence IN the navy. They simply
wished TO ventilate the whole question Of
the navy budget in the interest of the
service.

LONDON, March 6.-The outcries of GER
tain printers and paper makers over the
American copyright act do not find a
response among some of the greatest En-
gish publishers. Mr.. Longman, in
an Interview, said that he was
rejoiced at the passage of the
act as recognition of the principle of
literary property. He thinks that the for
eign publishers will be left ia a neutral
position, while those having American
houses may possibly be benefited by the
act. His firm, having an establishment in
America, VIII when necessary have books
set up in type there He admitted that
English printers and paper makers
would be injured, as an amount of trade
would certainly be diverted from them.
The act would not bring the millennium to
English authors.
The manager of Spottiswoods, the great
government printers, says the copyright act
will not have serious effect on the pub
fishers. There will be a tremendous waste
of time in sending proof sheets to and fro
between England and the United States.
Paper makers are more alarmed. A
deputation of stationers propose TO wait on
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, president of the
board Of trade, and demand government
action to prevent serious injury to their
trade.

Frederick's visit TO Paris was perhaps i'm
prudent, and was undertaken without oon-
sulting any one. M. Herbette denied
having been sounded In regard to the EN-
press Frederick's journey, saying that the

intention to visit Paris until the day before
she arrived there.

The French ambassador added that,
although he was no advocate Of Franco

possible. he held that every effort ought to
be made to remove the strain at pres

Herbette warmly praised EN-
peror William for his strong

he was destined 30 achieve great things. In
conclusion the French ambassador con-
demned chauvinism in France as being false
patriotism, which, happily, was confined to
a few people, as 1t was veritable treason and
calculated TO do the greatest harm.
