BERLIN, November l2-At the meetings
Of the Centrists in Bavaria, Baden and
Wurtelnburg a well nigh unanimous SEN
timent against the army bill was express
ed. This attitude Of Centrists has shat
tered the confidence Of Ministerialists in
the Reichstag in the acceptance OF tho
measure. The Centrist papers again
changed their tone. They have reverted
TO their former denunciations Of the bill
and not a single organ OF the
Centre party now advocated any
thing but uncompromlsing hostility 10
IL. The disclosure OF the fact that Prussia
is financially embarrassed, taken with the
proposal Of DR.. MIGUEL, PrusSian Minister
Of Finance, 10 levy tax on capital, has
contributed 10 a revulsion against the gov
ernnent's financial policy generally. The
general situation is so menacing 10 the
ministry that it has given rise 10 reports
that the army bill will be delayed long, or
be revised before IL is introduced In tho
Reichstag, and that Chancellor Won Capriyt
will De Obliged TO resign in the meantime.
These reports, however, are entirely
without foundation. The bill has been
passed by the Bundesrath without alter-
alton except for few verbal changes Ia
the preamble Chancellor Won Caprivt
will Introduce IL in the Reichstag on the
oath inst, and IL IL is defeated he will rc-
sign. In view OF the Chancellor's shaky
position, the political groups are already
discussing the question OF who Will DO Ills
successor.
Oficial information from St Petersburg
contradicts both the reported conclusion
of the Franco Russian alliance aud the SEN
sational stories that Russian troops are be-
ing concentrated upon the frontier. Tue
rumor regarding the movement OF Russian
troops had its origin in the Paris Mntin. IL
is directly opposed 10 the officially ascer-
tanned facts.
The Emperor holds in his hands the res
ignation Of Gen. Won Schweinitz, the Ger
man Ambassador OF Russia, but His Mai
esty hesitates 70 appoint his successor.
Many Of the German papers, In welcom-
ing Mr.. Cleveland's election 10 the Presi-
dency OF the United States, seem 10 think
that his advent will involve the early dis
appearance Of the Mckinley tariff. Better
informed jcGGnels discuss the election
from another standpoint, paying duo TO
spect 10 the grand sight OF n free people
peacefully declaring thei Naoxereign vii,
The Vossische Zeftung calls Amerlca the
mightiest nation In the world. because she
has no reason 10 either ask for or fear any
thing from any other nation. All tho pa
pers agree In hoping that tho Mckinley
tariff will be modified.
The strict rule OF the German foreign
Office that employees must not marry for
eigners has again brought sorrow.
