BERLIN. Nov. 12.-[Associated Press,
Copyrighted. 1892. AT concurrent meet
ings of Centrists in Bavaria. Baden and
Wurtemburg a weli-nigh unanimous senti-
ment against the army bill was expressed.
This attitude Of the Centrists has shattered
the confidence Of the Ministerialists in the
reichstag's acceptance of the measure.
The Centrist papers have reverted to the
former denunciation of the bill, and not q
single organ of the Centrist party now ad-
vocates anything but uncompromising
hostility to it. Popular opposition to the
measure is also growing among the peo-
pie, who are becoming more and more
alive to the fact that the bill will entail
upon them financial burdens by raising
the price of tobacco, beer and spirits.
Disclosures of the fact that Prussia is
financially embarrassed, taken with the
proposal of DR.. Miguel, Prussian minister
OF finance. to levy tax on capital, has
contributed to the revulsion against the
governments financial policy generally.
The bill will be introduced in the reich
stag on the oath, and If defeated Capr,vi
will resign. The emperor is lot an en-
thusiastic adherent Of the project. His
majesty is credited, in giving financial as
sent to it, with remarking to the chancel-
lor: You risk much over this" Men,
bers of the reichstag and landtag who are
now gathering here, concur in reporting
that their constituents dislike the prospect
of an increase of taxation for army pur-
poses, though willing to agree to the two
years service provision. Count Won Eu-
lenberg, president of the Prussian council
of ministers, and Hohenlohe, statthaler
of Lorraine, are the favorises in case Cap
rivi is compelled to resign.
The official register Of German exhi-
bitors at the Chicago Columbian exhibi-
ton shows $500 firms to be represented.
Wine producers are especially numerous,
numbering 267. In the book trade $50
houses are represented. The mining, iron
working and textile industries will be
sparsely represented. Another less pleas-
ing enterprise connected with the fair has
been discovered in the country districts,
where agents were trying to entice girls to
60 to Chicago. The authorities made
short work of this.
The will of the late dowager queen of
Wurtemburg bequeathed 81 ,000, 900 marks.
OF this sum 10, ,OOO, 900 marks were given to
her neice, Princess Vera of fWurtemburg.
and several million znxfks to Princess
Vera's two daughters, The king of Wur-
temburg receives 10000 900 marks. The
remainder is widely distributed among
other relatives.
Official information from St. Petersburg
contradicts both the conclusion of
Franco-Russian alliance and the sensa-
tlonal stories of Russian troops being con-
centrated upon the frontier. The weak
ness of the French government in dealing
with the socialists has intensely displeased
the car, who has ordered suspension of
negotiations for a treaty. The rumor re-
garding the movement of Russian troops
had its origin in the Paris Matin. 1t is
due to the fact that the garrisons removed
from frontier stations during the cholera
period are now returning to their posts.
A Berlin merchants and manufacturers
club has decided to organize German ex-
hibition to be held in 1895 or 1897, in lieu
of abandonment of the German Worlds
