| Washington, Dec 1.-THE first gun
:, in the speakership contest Of the fifth
J third congress has been fired by the
reform club, of New York, and the bat

E. disposition Of congressman is to con-

courtcsics offered Speaker Crisp by his
! hosts as only parts of a plan which had
it's origin out Of congress, and which is
an attempt of the club to dictate the
spcakership Of the ffty-third congress.
For the first time there was de.

HE WILL NOT SERVE.
The Ex-ChancelIor Does Not Intend to
Enter the ReichStag

PARIS. Dec I2.--The Matin prints an
interview with Bismarck this morn
ing. In part it is as follows:
81 have said farewell definitely to
the government of men. If ] had not
been dismissed | would dou btlesS still
be in power had / still enough
strength to continue without Interrupt
ton the duties contided to me. Now /

The Prince says he will not AXE a
seat in the Reichstag.
IF | did it would be to speak to
every one. My words would be COM
mented on, attacked and contrasted. |
have no longer the unquestionable
authority which power gives. would
be only a private soldier in the melee,
perhaps an incum brance. No, GER
tainly I viii not go to the Reichstag."
On the question Of the alteration of
the famous Ems dispatch Prince Bis
marcl, after protesting that it never
entered his head to elect a German
Prince to the throne of Spain, for it
would offend Napoleon III. and wound
the susceptibilities of the French
people, said he was annoyed at the
time at Benedetti's negotiating direct
with the King at Ems, and at the
action of Count de Werther, the Prus-
sian a ! bassador at Paris, and the
Kings dispatch stating his refusal to
give Benedict the pledge the latter
asked of him.
| Saws the Prince: cit was long and
some what obscure document. 1t was
submitted to me before it was sent to
the government, for whose information
it was intended. Ichanged the wording
of this dispatch, as / had right to, as
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
changes shortened the dispatch
without altering its meaning and
without adding single word. 1t is
not true that altered the meaning. !
do not now remember the wording of
the dispatch, but It was approved by
the King, with whom | did not dis
agree at the time. All / did was to
maintain the dignity Of my sovereign
and of my country. In the event Of a
! Franco German conflict we will have
no interest in bothering ourselves with
what the Russians may do in the
Balkans. They will be given carte
| blanche
The Ex-Chancellor concluded that n
understanding between France and
Germany is possible and desira BILE,
especially on the subject of socialism,
which is a danger now equally threat
ening both countries.
European com tries to-day" he
said, "have something more important
than making war on each other to at
tend to. They should unite for the
repression of such crimes as socialism, 81
Commenting finally on the subject
of the suit against De Lesseps, the Ex'
Chancellor says: cit is the worst kind
of socialism when one of the most
glorious men in the world, man who
pierced the isthmus of Suez, is brought
up before court created to try and
punish thieves. Every one knows the
mans honor and probity. His glory
cannot be furnished by the suit, but il
is LIE Grande Patron who in his person
is given up to the hatred of the Anar'
chistS."

Validity Of the Vote Upon The
Constitutional Amendment
to be Tested
Milwaukee Parties Propose to
Enjom the Proclamation
Of the Law.
Board of Canvasstrs 10 Meet
This Week to Pass Upon
the Matter.

Milwaukee parties have taken the
first steps to determine the validity If
the adoption of the amendment to sub
division 8, of section 81, of article 4 of
the constitution, entitled an act to incor-
porate any city, town or village, or to
amend the charter thereof submitted
10 Il vote of the people at the last cleo
ton.
The necessary papers are being pre-
pared in the Cream city for submission
to the attorney general, calling upon him
to make application to the supreme
court for an injunction to restrain the
secretary of state from publishing and
declaring the law adopted.
Pursuant to the report of the board
OF canvassers to the secretary of state
that officer and the governor are direct
ed to publish and announce the adoption
of the amendment and declare it u part
of the constitution. This has not been
done as yet because the board of can
yaSSerS has not met. The board of cam
yassers will meet in Madison, Dec. Is.
and it is feared that such Il declaration
prevent it.
The ground upon which the injunction
will be asked sets forth among other
things that the adoption of the amend
ment is invalid because more than So
900 of the voters of the state did not
have an opportunity to vote and that
the required notice was not published in
any part OF the state prior to the recent

No Miracles Wrought at tho Canton
CANTON, Mimi, Dec. 10. "A couple of
correspondents, with Il great deal
more industry than honesty, have
done the village of Canton and the
cause of religion incalcula bic injury
by representing a state Of things here
which does not exist. The innumer-
able stories they have sent out in
regard to the great crowds of ailing
people who have gathered under the
miracle window and gone back to
their homes cured of chronic diseases
are almost pure fiction These yarns
have themselves brought INSECT
laneous lot Of intirm people here,
but there is not an authentic case Of
going away cured. One day a month
ago an old man, crippled for life,
prayed under the window, and in his
excitement threw away his crntches
and asserted that he could walk as
well as when boy. He walked away,
but when he reached home and be-
came calm discovered that he was in
intense pain, and had to take TO his
bed for d week, and when he arose he
had to take to his crutches again.
In fact, the Catholic church has
from the first frowned upon the sensa-
ton which was being made out of an
insignificant incident. The town is as
quiet as any other Western village IF
