of the Pfalse held at Neustsdt discussed the
army bill at length, and almost without the
exception of q delegate the Representatives
of the partys expressed reserved ap-
proval of the principal demands Of
the measure. The sentiment OF most
of the speakers was that the Government
would have asked for an increase Of the
military burdens without having become
convinced that such q step was necessary.
Eventually the conference decided that the
Rhenish Deputies OF the National Liberal
party should act in the Reichstag at their
own discretion, in view of the circumstances
that might arise. The general order vas
however, that they should support the Gov
ernment's proposals il the financial part OF
the programme could be made satisfactory.
No Cabinet Crisis Anticipated.
The North German Gazette has taken ad-
vantage of the favorable wind blowing from
such quarters to recall again the merits of
the bill, which have been quite forgotten
in the partisan tumult of the last week
'aThere will be no dissolution" says the in
spired editor, ''nor any cabinet crisis.
There is every hope that the committee will
report in favor of the bill"

on the troubles in France: 1.-THE changes in
the political situation in Europe and the re-

ever more possible international troubles

the end"
The Magdeburg Gazette publishes Especial

CONSOLATION FOR CARTER.
n Montana Should Have a Republican Leg

IY Montana Should Have hepuDucan Leg
islature He May Be Senator.
WASHINGTON, Dec 26-[SpectGL 1.-The
latest news from Montana that decision
Of local Judges made yesterday gives the
Republicans OF that State a majority in the
Legislature, is received with grain OF salt
in this political capital. The statement in
the kilograms, while asserting the Republic
eau majority, is confusing as to details. Ii,
however, the estimate be correct. 1t Is ex-
pected here that ''Tom" Carter will console
himself TOR his discontinue as chairman OF
the National Republican Committee By his
election to the Senate of the United States.
Senator Sanders, whose term expires
March 8, and who is o candidate for re-elec-
ton, can well be dispensed with, but 1t IS
questionable if the representation OF Mon
tana would be greatly improved by the in
PRODUCTION of Carter.
Take him as a whole, the far Western
politician is neither charming nor classic,
but it is probable that in none of the new or
old far Western States is there so much
room for improvement in the character OF
its representation in Congress as Montana,
and the Senate majority which admitted
Sanders and Powers is not to be compli-
mented Tor its legal judgment or its sense
of moral obligation. This first Senatorial
election held in Montana was not pleas
ing one to contemplate. 1t should have
been declared void, but the votes OF Sanders

seated despite the most bitter protests ever
uttered in the Senate against the quali6ca-
tion of Senator.

For the Third Time in Its History on the

For the Third Time in Its History on the
FIRST Day of the Year.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 25.-Not-
withstanding the quietude that reigns in
executive circles at the Capital the holiday
season is al lively as usual, the large num-
Der of events transpiring in the world out
side the highest official ranks making COM
pensation tor the dearth of them there.
The December gaities quite beat the record,
and the last week of the old year will be the
busiest of all. Two very charming young
ladies we're introduced to the world of So
ciety the past week, in the persons of Miss
Lieber, daughter of the Judge Advocate
General of the Army, and Miss Wilcox,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs Whitemore, oil
Chicago. Miss Kate Brice, second daugh-
ter of Ohlo's junior Senator, Miss Emily
Cammack and Miss Katharine Fuller, OF
the family of the Chief Justice, are the
buds of the coming week.
The coming week will be largely taken up
with entertainments for the young folks at
home from school, in addition to the
debutante teas. On Saturday night Mr..
and Mrs. John H. Mclean will give a
fancy dress party, and on the same evening
the younger daughters OF Vice President
Morton will give party for the members
OF their dancing class.
The White House will remained closed
on New Years Day, for the third time in its
history. The first occasion was January 1,
1874, out OF respect to the memory OF the
second wife OF the late General Delknap.
1t was. the first year OF General Grants
second term that General Belknap, at that
time Secretary of War, lost his wife. Decem-

ON Lafayette Square, and Mrs. Belknap,
apparently recovering from an illness, was

SLASHED BY A ROOMMATE.
Father and Son Attacked While Asleep in
Their Bed.

FITCHBURG, MASS, Dec 25.-What
will probably prove fatal stabbing affray
occurred here last evening. John Felt
morse, aged 3S years; Andrew Sampson,
aged so years, and SIMPSONS son Michael,
aged about 25 years, all finish lsborers, who
roomed together on Fruit street, had been
drinking together during the evening. The
father and son retired, and at II o'clock
Feltmorse came in and sat down on the bed,
He assaulted the Simpsons with a sharp
ened case knife. Michael was badly cut on
The arm, shoulder and head, and his father
received cut across the abdomen, which
caused mis- bowels to protrude for eight
inches.
Officers found Feltmorse under the bed
with his clothes covered with blood. He
had hidden the knife in a shoe. He denies
having done the deed, but he was identified
by his victims this morning. The chances
for the recovery of Andrew Sampson are
slight

Little Danger Apprehended from Colli-
sion of the Earth and Comet.

sion of the Earth and Comet.
The appearance Of a comet is not
always accompanied with any de-
gree of alarm, but the celestial yisi-
tor which is now said to be headed
toward the earth and travelling at
the rate of 100000 miles day has
aroused a great deal Of interest in
all parts Of the world, and in some
instances apprehension is felt that
it may collide with this planet.
But astronomers calculate that
the heavenly tramp will come with
in Just 8 hours of striking the earth
"full in the face" In other words,
the earth passes before the comet
s hours earlier than the time set
for the comet to cross the earth's
orbit. People On this side Of the
earth will be able to witness it pass
ing at the moment when it is near
est. AS the comet, with its veil of
luminous gas, measures 40, 000miles
in diameter-being five times as
large as the earth-and as its least
distance from the earth will be less
than 100000 miles, or but three
or four times as far as the moon is
from us, the spectacle will be simp-
ly gorgeous.
Professor Serviss, Of Columbia
Heights, Brooklyn, says that there
viii arise suddenly, in the early
evening Of November 27, above the
eastern horizon, a huge ball Of APP
parently fiery vapor four times as
great as the moon and with a blaz-

which will pass over thezenith and
disappear in the western horizon

IT is not by any means a certainty
that there will be two Republicans
in the Tennessee Congressional
delegation, says the Jackson Trib-

SwEEN, the Democratic candidate,
will contest ALE. TAYLoR's election.
1t is charged that TAYLOR was re-
elected by fraud and corruption of
every kind. The poll-tax law was
completely ignored in Carter Coun-
ty, and in other counties in the dis
trict ballot-box stufing was resort
ed to on a large scale. 1t is also
charged that negro miners who had
not been in the State three months
were allowed to vote. If the charg-
es are sustained MoSwEEN will and
should be seated.

that owing to Democratic success
capitalists in charge of falling en-

"THE Australian system should
be made universal" says the Knox
vile Tribune. And the Jackson
Tribune and Sun says "the Aus
tralian system is the only method
that the people can vote their con-
victions untrammeled." This new
form of ballot law is growing in
popular favor every day, for with
out itin some of the countiesin Ten
nessee the monstrous corruption
fund upon which the Republicans
relied to defeat the will of the peo-
pie might have accomplished more.
The Australian ballot law has come
to stay in this country, and the next
assembly of Tennessee should so
amend the Dortch law as to apply
to every county in the State.
