city says that the military bill was discussed
by the members of the Prusslan ministry on
Saturday last. All the ministers approve cd

from what il deems a good source that the
difference of opinion that has arisen be-
tween Chancellor Won Caprlvi and the
Prussian ministers, especially Count Eulen-
berg, In regard 10 the military bill, is 80
acute that both the chancellor and Count
Gutenberg have resigned their offices. The
statement has not, however, been con-
hrmed, and il is believed that the facts have
been exaggerated.

confirm the statement that Emperor Will

pass the military bill at all hazards: that
although he withdrew the school bin he
would not withdraw the military bill; that
he would dissolve the present Reiohstag IL

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Oct. 10.-This
morning two deputy United States msrshals
went from here to Union Springs, the
county seat Of Bullock county, forty miles
east. for the purpose Of arrestinR Probate
Judge Frazier and Circuit Court Clerk
Pickett on charge of violating section
55l5 OF the Revised Statutes OF the United

with the sheriff appointed managers for the
elections. The state law requires the ap-
pointment Of three inspectors for each place

OF opposing political parties if practicable.
The arrest OF the two Bullock county officers
Is because OF their refusal to appoint the
list asked for by the third partyites. The
sheriff, who sYmpathizas with that
element, was not arrested, as
he was willing to Hccede TO
their demands. The arrests created a pro-
found sensation in the little town, and a
large number of friends accompanied the
prisoners to Montgomery. The arrested
officers avow that the managers have been
appointed in accordance with law. They
reached this city tonight and promptly
gave bond for their appearance before the
United States commissioner tomorrow.
BASIS OF THE AFFIDAVIT.
Ii develops that the affidavit on which the
arrests were made alleges violation Of the
law in only two precincts. In each of these
a negro was appointed as manager. The
affidavit alleges that they are dem
ocrats and can neither read nor
write. A number Of the leading
citizens from that county say the negroes
are both republicans, that.one is a school,
master, the other the largest negro prop
erty holder In the county, and both far
above the average of their race in intelli-
gence and attainments
The United States district attorney will
