The bimetallists from India and else

they regard as the duplicity of the other

using Germany and Austria to accom-

dare openly to urge for fear of offending
India as well as British blmetallist senti-
ment. The special committee OF the con-
ference has been discussing the bimetallic
proposals of Sir William HouIdsworth

DISSOLUTION IMMINENT.
The German Government Tangled Ur
in the Army Bill.

BERLIN, Dec. I.-Capr1VI IS doing
everything III his power to gain time in
the hope Of winning over the Center
party. but everything points to the aban-
donment Of the army bill. The Socialists
are actively organizing in view Of the dis
solution of the Reichstag, and declare
they are certain of an enormous increase
in votes. 1t is reported the magistrates
are instructed to have voting lists ready
for January Goth. If true, this points to
the conviction in Government circles that
dissolution is imminent and will be nee
essary.
THE DEBATE CONTINUED.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE debate on the
first reading of the army bill was con-
tnued in the Reichstag to-day. Herr
Won Manteutfel, a prominent leader of
the Conservative party, made speech
on the measure, in the course of which
he resented the aspersions cast upon the
Conservative party by Chancellor Won
Caprivi, who a few days ago declared in
the Reichstag that the Conservatives were
supporters of Rector Ahlwardt. On be-
hall of the Conservative party, Manteuf-
1el disclaimed any intention of carrying
on demagogic propaganda. They never
made their attitude toward the army bill
dependent upon concessions in other
matters.
Caprivi replied, and referred to the re-
port published in the k9'euz Heitung. of
a recent meeting OF the Conservatives,
and said he drew from this report the
conclusion that the party had sympathy
Tor the man who had been condemned
by the judges of the land as an asperser
OF the army.
This statement was greeted with cries
of "Oh, Oh" by the Conservatives.
Continuing. the Chancellor said he was
satisfied now to find the party declined
to identify itself with Ahlwardt.
DIR. Lieber of the Center party declared
the Centrists would only support the
two years service clause OF the bin under
the existing organization, and would OPP
pose an increase in the number Of
soldiers provided for in the bill. They
would, he added, oppose other points OF
the measure. In the course of his re-
marks Lieber made extended reference
to the relations existing between Ger
many and the Vatican. He laid partic-
ular emphasis upon the statement that
the entire party would not dream of de-
manding the restoration of the temporal
power OF the Pope as the price of the
Naucan's sanction of the Triple Al
lance.
Upon the motion of DIR. Osann, Ma
tlonal Liberal, the bill was referred to a

OK THE BEST AUTHoRITY.-A
story is told of trial for burglary
in which one of the jurymen seemed
to be SO certain of the prisoners
innocence and pleaded for him so
eloquently and so conyincingly that
eleven others (who had no particu-
lar bias either way) allowed them
selves to be argued into returning q
verdict of "not guilty." A few
days later fresh facts came to light
which proved the accused man s in
nocence beyond doubt, and one of
the eleven wayering jurymen, hap
pening to meet with the man who
had so powerfully influenced them
all, thanked him warmly for hay-
ing saved them from the commits
sion of great injustice.
"And yet, now l. think of il"
he added, "you could not have
known anything about these new
facts, so how could You be so sure
that the man was innocent?'
"Well," replied the other, "my
chief reason for thinking that he
did not commit the crime was that
/ committed it myself"
Such authority was certainly not
to be disputed, but yet more start
ling case of the same kind occurred
not many years ago in Paris, at the
first representation of a tragedy that
had for its closing scene the MUIR
der of a Swedish king, which had
taken place nearly half century
earlier. All went well till the MUIR
der scene came on, when very
dignified old gentleman in the stage
box showed signs of strong dissat-
isfaction, and at length called out
angrily
absurd J they have got it all
wrong ~
The manager himself heard this
plain-spoken comment, and being
naturally disturbed by SO sweeping
condemnation, he sought out the
critic and politely begged to know
what fault he had to find with it.
"Why, my good sir" cried the
old man, with an air of authority,

is incorrect. You have made them
