BERLIN, Sept 24-Before placing the
new armory bill, on which hangs the fate
Of the government. before the Bundesrath,
the emperor has sent State Secretary
Maltzahn TO confer with the finance minis
tors Of Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemberg.
Herr Maltzahn first went b Stuttgart and
thence TO Carlsruhe. To-day he is at
Munich. Upon reduction to two years of
the military service concurrent upon raising
the annual contingent by $1,000 men, he
found the governments of the federal states
ready to give their assent but on the inan-
cisl projects for meeting the extra budget
there was an extreme diversity of opinion
One important feature of the bill proposing
10 unity military legislation Ia accordance
with the Prussian law, met with the liveliest
opposition OF the federal states. The Ba-
varian government brusquely declined to
discuss the proposal. The present state of
negotiations leaves the period of the intro
duction Of the bill uncertain
In official circles it Is believed that the
government will await the result of the
Landtag vote on taxation reforms before
asking the Eeichstag for increased imperial
taxation arising from the army bill
BERLIN TAREs IT QUIETLY.
The people Of Berlin accept the chance OF
cholera becoming epidemic very quietly. A
careful watch is kept upon the water sup
ply. The unceaslug vigilancs of the saui-
tsry authorities gives the public confidence
that the cholera will not attain serious pro-
portions. 1t has been clearly traced that
those stricken with the disease here, apart
from the imp 1rted cases, owe their illness to
extremely filthy water. The announce
ment that the river is infected with cholera
has set the people Of Berlin on their guard.
The inhabitants of the city now filter and
boil oil the water they use for drinking.
The sanitary committee has stationed senti-
nels along the banks of the Elbe. Oder,
Sorree and Havel TO keep watch upon the
barges which are now recognized AS carty-
ing the Infection. Along the banks Of tna
Havel, in front of the marble palace at
Potsdam, patrol guards have been placed
there to prevent bostmen from landing.

the extraordinary care now taken TO limit

WILLIAM GONE ON HUNT.
The emperor started yesterday for Ro-
mentin on the bear and deer hunt. The
members Of the court circle profess anxiety
about his going there to hunt. The lodge
lies in the midst OF a dense woods, four
miles from the Russian frontier, and is far
distant from any railway. The emperor
has few attendants and no German troops
arc near him. Numerous bands OF Cos
sacks are scattered along the frontier near
which the hunting preserve lies, aud 10 is
argued that in the event of a sudden diff
GUILTY with Russia some reckless Cossacks
might swoop down on the lodge and

lex Leopold and Duke Guntber, a brother
Of the emperor. One hundred Austrian
officers will start at the same time from

ing people would soon learn the distinctive
