GERMANY,s ARMY BILL.
The Emperor Determined to Garry
His Point.


BERLIN. Dec. 17.-Although the compo-
sition Of the committee Of the Rsichstag, TO
which the army bill has been referred, at
first might appear not promising for the
government, its elements admit Of such
grouping under the Inducements that Chan.
cellor Won Caprivi may offer as will ena BILE
the ministers co get a majority. The oom-
mittee, which comprises twenty EIGHT mem
bers, is made up OF three social demo-
Gratis, six members of the freisInnige party,
eight centerists, or clericals, two Poles,
three national liberals, ,one free conservative
and eight conservatives. The chancellor
reduced the money vote TO AZ, ,000, 900 marks
and modif1es the governments demands for
an increase in the present peace effective.
The bill will have the chancellor's approval.
In its present shape it will stand no chance
whatever OF becoming law. Semi-Official
papers admit that certain changes
are essential TO the success
Of the measure, but they express confidence
that concessions will be offered that will be
sufficient 60 win over a majority of the oom-
mittee to the support Of the bill In form
that will not materially change its scope.
TEMPER OF THE CONSERVATIVES.
An ominous feature Of the position OF the
envenomed temper Of the conservative op-
posion Is that the traditions OF the oonser-
NhtiNe party Wnlcn are al against Oppos-
ing the demands Of the government so far
as army reforms are concerned, are now
set at naught. The implied threat Of the
chancellor In his speech when the bill was
presentedsto the Reiohstag TO dissolve the
house aud have new election In the event
OF the measure being rejected has had little,
IL any effect upon the conservatives. The
Kreutz ZeitunG, whose editor, Herr Won
Hammerstein, is among the conservative
representatives on the committee, declares
that the bill will not pass, adding that q
coalition between the centerists and con-
servatives In favor Of supporting
Chancellor Won Caprivi was I'm
probable before the Reiohs-
tag adjourned. A lobby report has It that
the chancellor, feeling indisposed and wor-
ried at seeing that 10 was improbable shat
he would obtain the assent OF the Reichstag
to his full demands for an increase Of the
standing army. told the emperor that he
would gladly resign the cares OF Office.
His majesty, however, was not
disposed to give the chancellor
any encouragement IN retiring under fire.
He expressed his determination 10 mako
the army bill law, even at the risk OF an
appeal TO the country. A notable feature
in the debates has been the omission of all
allusions to Prince Bismarck or any refer

BLAINE STILL In DANGER
EVIDENCES OF LOCAL ORGANIC
DISEASE MANIFESTED.

His Physician Denies That He Has
Bright's Disease His Kidn eys
Nevertheless Believed to be AT
fected-His Feebleness the Chief
Source of Danger.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE following
statement is given to the Associated Press
by DIR. W. W. Johnston, the physician of
Dfr. Blaine, with the approval of his family /:
''Mr. Blaine has been suffering for some
time past with symptoms of impaired
general health, but which did not clearly
indicate disease Of any particular organ.
Evidences of local organic disease have been
manifested recently. and it is believed
that his present condition is due
to this cause. While there is nothing
in the nature Of this disease to warrant fear
of any very rapid progress. he has show n
within the past month more signs of serious
illness than before. 1t is hoped that this ag-
gravation may pass off. but no positive
statement can now be made as TO the changes
which may take place from day TO day
At the present moment be is better than for
q week past"
Mr.. Blaine is just a little better, but
there is really no great change in his con-
dition," was the statement made at Mr..
Blaines house this afternoon.
THE ADMISSION IMPORTANT.
DR.. Johnston's admission in his carefully
worded statement that evidences Of local
organic disease had been manifested re-
Gently, and it Is believed that Mr.. Blaine's
condition is due to this cause,n was the most
important development as to Mr. Blsine's
condition to-day. Up to this time the ply
sicians have uniformly given the impression
that Mr.. Blaine had no organic trouble,
although they admitted that bis organs
were affected by the congestion due to his
fever and his general debility. Even now
they intimate that this is all that DR.. John
ston means to say in his card.
HIS KIDNEYS PROBABLY AFFECTED.
DR.. Johnston still denies that Mr.. Blaine
has Bright's disease. 1t Is believed, how
ever, that his kidneys are more affected by
the congestion than any of the other organs.
Mr.. Blaine appears to have held his own to-
day and that is about all. Or course this
will not be enough. If he is to recover he
must begin to mend very soon aud must
rally strongly. His great danger lies in his
feebleness, which has produced something
like partial suspension of all his physical
functions and which makes it so difficult to
strengthen him, either with nourishment or
with stimulants.

SENATOR GIBsoN's SEAT.

Senator Villas OF Wisconsin Secures It
After Lively Scramble.
WASHINGTON, Dec 17.-There has always
been keen competition for the best seats on
the floor among United States senator's.
and this spirit is exemplified again in the
applications that have already been made
for the seat vacated by the late Senator
Gibson of Louisiana. This is very
desirable seat, being second in the main
aisle in the third row on the democratic
side. Senator Villas of Wisconsin was the
lucky man and will henceforth occupy the
seat. His own seat in the first row next to
the lobby door is not regarded as particu-
larly desirable one, but Senator Hunton of
Virginia, who has been assigned seat far
in the rear, though he has been occupying
Senator Colquitt's seat recently, chose it in
preference
