WAR IMPENDING.
Sensation al Utterances of the German
r1iniSter of War.

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-General Won Kalten-
born Stachau. Minister OF War, introduced
the army bill in the Rechstag to-day for
the first reading with a long and earnest
speech. He declared that Germany must
be prepared TO enter at any moment into
final war. which would dwarf all preceding
wars in the magnitude of the forces en-
gagged and of the Issues to be decided. 1t is
imperative that every man in Germany able
to bear arms should be ready 10 respond
when called.
The bill was me asure OF supreme neces-
sity and demanded no sacrifice that the
patriotism of the nation should not be will
ing TO grant, and no sacrifice greater than
what other nations were making in prepara-
ton for the mighty struggle that might at
any time begin. IL was In obedience to the
supreme need Of Germany for that struggle
that the bill had been prepared, and the
Government hoped and expected that IL
would receive the support OF every one in
terested in maintaining the integrity OF the
Fatherland, and in defending those advan-
tages which 1t had cost 60 much Of German
blood and German energy to obtain.
The War Minister described at length the
details OF the bill, and showed that every
effort had been made to make the burden as
light as prudent regard for the security of
the country and the efficiency OF the army
would permit.
The address was favorably received, and
the utterances regarding the almost GER
tainty of great European war at an early
date evidently produced profound impress
sion as confirming the predictions OF Chan
cellor Caprivi on the same subject. Chan
cellor Won Caprivi made speech In which
he hinted that the Government had deter
mined to dissolve the Reichstag unless the
bill was passed.

WARRING TOWNSMEN.
The Seward County Feud Breaks

An Armed Band of Seventy-Five Men

Special TO THE MoRSiSs GALE.

TOPEKA, Dec. 10.-The famous Seward
County-seat war between the towns CT
Springfield and Liberal is again on. There
has been recently another vote on the county
seat question, and this vote was to be can
vassed at Springfield. The Liberal people

day, determined that there shall be NO error.
Since o'clock this afternoon nothing has
been heard from either Liberal or Spring
field. The latter point has no telegraph
Office. and at Liberal there is only a Rock
Island operator, who at present is on strike,
and from whom. IN consequence, nothing
can be learned. II is feared that collision
may have resulted when the armed men
from Liberal reached Springfield.
At the same time the party left for
Springfield another party started for Arka-
Ion, where the county records have been
kept since the trouble, for the ostensible
purpose Of potecting them against seizure
by the Springfield faction. Mrs. Martin. Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction. was one
OF the members OF the expedition. She Is
going along for moral effect, as it we're.
When they arrived ct Arkalon they
found the Springfield people already making
q move to secure the records and II was
decided therefore 10 take possession of
them and remove them to Liberal. This
was done. and it is believed when the news
reaches Springfield IL will cause much more
trouble

LONDON IN DANGER.
Anarchy and Dynamite Threaten
England's Capital.
Reported Discovery of Plot to Blow
Up the Government Buildings
and Do Other Damage.
Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

New YORK. Dec. 10.-The Suns London
cable says: 1t lie now London's turn to be
put under terror by dynamite fends. A
gigantic plot is on the eve of execution,
and the utmost energy of the Government Is
being exerted to avert & catastrophe
The police know that the anarch lists
have planned frightful revenge
for the extradltion OF their COM
rade Francois. but they do not know
just wnere the blow Is to fall. TIE
result is that Westminster, Downing street,
the law courts and other public buildings
are guarded day and night by armed de-
tectives.
The explosion was expected to take place
last night. Three hundred men from Scot
land Yard guarded the Parliament buildings
alone. A detective stood In front of every
door, every window and at every corner
and angle. The residences OF the detect
ives who arrested Francois. the magistrates
who heard the case and the court and jail
where he was confined were similarly pro-
tected.
The fact that nothing happened does not
prove the alarm to be baseless. The infor-
nation which the agents of Scotland Yard
gained few days ago among the anarct-
lists is said to be very authentic. The plot
ters have an ample supply of dynamite and
lacked only reliable detonator of explod-
Ing apparatus.
This their confreres in Paris agreed to
supply. The strictest watch has been
maintained ever since at Dover, Folkestone
and other channel ports to detect the device
in transit II possible. 1t has not been dis
covered, and the detectives are presumably
ignorant as to whether it has yet been de-
livered.
Several anarchists Ia London are under
surveillance, but as the location of the in
eliminating explosive I. unknown no
arrests have been made. AS soon as the
investigation has progressed step further
Ii Is said TO be the plan 10 throw out a
dragnet and suddenly arrest many of the
suspected dynamiters in London. Mean
time the policy of maintaining special
guard over the Government buildings will
be continued.

FOR rlANSLAUGHTER.
Guard Alexander Held to Answer
Before the Superior Court.
What Warden Hale Has to Say About
the Matter-An Outbreak Was
Threatened.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI

SAN RAFAEL. Dec. 10.-The fnal prelim-
mary examination Of Guard w. A. Alexan-
der, the alleged slaye. of Convict Marshall
was resumed in the Town Hall here this
afternoon. The prosecution opened the
argument and then counsel argued at
length, when the prosecution closed the
case.
Justice Dufficy bound the man over on q
charge of mansaughter to the Superior
Court, stating that it was not In the PROV
ince or within the jurisdiction of his coart
to acquit or ex0nerate the defendant from
the charge. Bail was fixed at s5000.
Warden Hale. in conversation with rep
resentative of THE CALL concerning the
Alexander case. said:
Il do not think we have been fairly rep
resented in this matter. For the past six
weeks L have known OF q concerted action
between conyicts and outsiders for q general
outbreak among the prisoners. Arrange
ments were being carried out for a supply
Of firearms, dynamite and nitro-glyeerine to
the convcts.
"We were informed that a skeleton key
was in possession of a certain man. whose
business it would be to run round opening
the doors of the most desperate characters,
who would not hesitate TO use the deadly
weapons which were to be concealed at
different points to destroy the prison.
ION this information / doubled the
guards. and the second night after doing So

spiracy of September Is, last year, ia

Miners evidence shows that the tools were

THOSE WHO WANT.
Some of Their Touching Appeals to
Those Who Have

IL the good people Of San Francisco could
only realize the destitution which surrounds
them on every side they would stop for a
moment and think. Few Of those who have
comfortable homes and have no care for the
future know how many hungry women and
children there are hidden away in this
great city and how much happiness they
could produce by the smallest contribution
out Of their plenty.
The man who sits down three times day
to well-suppiisd table and gets up with q
feeling of contentment with the world at
large seldom devotes q moments thought to
the people who think a crust luxury and a
bite of meat a dream of magnifcence. IL
they think of the bare-iooted children who
play in the alleys with worn, pinched faces
and poorly clad bodies il is only to wonder
In an aimless sort OF way why things are
not different, but for some unaccountable
reason it seldom occurs to them that they
could help TO bring the sunshine into the
homes of abject poverty.
Ii was TO remind those who are able to ex-
tend the hand of aid to those in need thai
the Idea OF THE CALLS Christmas Box
Bureau was first suggested. and the work
promises to be one of the best ever under
taken here. 1t has struck popular cord in
the public breast and the people of this
city with their characteristic willingness to
give have responded nobly to the call which
has been made upon them.
Still there are many who could afford to
contribute out of their means to help make
the Christmas season a happy one for the
worthy poor, and If they could only see the
squalor and wretchedness of the hundreds
who are helpless they would not hesitate to
contribute their mite.
A CALL reporter spent the afternoon
yesterday at the bureau and witnessed the
appeals which were made for aid. 1t was a
sight not to be forgotten. and the scenes
would have appealed to the heart of the
coldest man that ever lived. Women came
as rule. and In nine cases out OF ten they
were accompanied by children whose little
faces bore the stamp of want.
No one could have seen it all without ex
perienclng feeling Of depression. There
were humorous touches as we'll. but these
were ovrrshadowed by the sadJer cases.
