The general belief is that a crisis is pend
ing in the Prussian cabinet on account
of the bill. At cabinet meeting the
ministry accepted the bill on the con-
dition that the extra expenditures be
borne by the empire, and not by Prussia
alone. Won Caprivi's assurances on
this point appeared to be satisfactory.
The prospect of the bill passing the
reichstag is improved by the report that
the government has decided to concede
to parliament thu right to fix annually
the peace footing of the army.
1t is reported that the meeting be-
tween Emperor William and the duke
OF Cumberland, for the purpose of dis
cuesing the question of the Brunswick
successorship, fell through, owing to the
ex queen of Hanover persnading the
duke not to attend. Queen Victoria ad-
vises the duke to relinquish his claim
to the throne. The duke is in guam.

Robert Bonner Believes in Increasing
the Size of the Wheel.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Robert Bonner,
while Satisfied that the bicycle sulky is
decided advantage in speed trials, has
concluded that it is capable of improve
ment. The smallness of the wheel is
the Objectionable feature. He has
therefore built bicycle sulky with
4-inch wheels, and the axle so arranged
that the body of the sulky can be raised
or lowered to make a horizontal
draft for either q tall or
a low horse. The new vehicle
is constructed entirely of tubular steel,
including the thills, and is both lighter
and stronger than wooden running gear.
1t is Bonner's intention to use this sulky
in Sunol's trial for the worlds record.
