BERLIN. Oct. l5.-Publo attention here
is chiefly directed to the military bill, which
not a single journal, except the government
organs, supports. The recent pretty gen.
eral belief that a crisis was impending in
the Prussian cabinet arising from the di-
vergence Of views in regard to the bill, has
become greatly modified. Even the oppo-
sition now admit that there is little ground
for any such belief. AT a
meeting Of the Prussian cabinet
no active opposition was offered to
the measure. The ministry accepted |
the bill on the condition that tho extra ex-
penditure involved be borne by the empire |
aud not by Prussia alone. The assurance |
of Chancellor Caprivi on this point Ap-
peared to be satisfactory to them. Herr |
MIGUEL, the Prussian minister of finance, |
from whom the strongest opposition TO the |
measure was expected, contented himself |
with explaining the financial results OF the
bill.
Radical journals sarcastically comment |
upon what they term the submission of the |
ministry. The Vossiche Zeitung says that |
the cabinet did not have time to examine |
and discuss the bill aud that Chancellor Won |
Caprivi has now been revenged for the re- |
buff he received over the primary educa-
tion bill.
The center party still maintains a show |
OF opposition, but there Is no lack Of evil |
dence that large section Of the party Will |
support the bill If slight notifications are |
made.
ATTITUDE OF THE EMPEROR.
In regard to the emperor's attitude, 1t Is |
stated on excellent authority that be was at |
first reluctant to waive his objections, |
chiefly on account of the great increase In |
expenditures. The chancellor, however, |
with much insistance, converted him to the |
opinion that the proposed changes we're alb
solutely necessary on political grounds The
prospect of the bill passing the ReichstGR |
has been improved by a report that the |
government has decided to concede to par
lament the right to fix annually the peace
footing Of the army. II the time OF service
is also reduced to two years, it Is not un-
likely that the bill will be supported by the
conservatives, free conservatives, national
liberals and ceuterists, which will suffice to
insnre the government a majority. Next
week the bill will be submitted TO the
Bundesrath, which Is expected TO speedily
adopt it, as all the German governments are
acquainted with and have approved OF its
contents.
The Cologne GGzette, which is the best
authority on the subject, has published GER
tain details Of the btu, from which il ap- !
pears that the measure specially provides for |
ON enormous increase In the artillery branch |
OF the service, putting it greatly In excess
OF the French artillery, which, since the |
French military reorganization, has exceed |
ed the German.
THE BMPERoR's VISIT TO VIENNA.
Although Emperor William spent the !
greater part Of bis visit to Vienna In shoot |
ing and sightseeing he found time to have |
several lengthy private conversation with |
Emperor Francis Joseph. 1t is understood |
that thege inter views were chiefly devoted |
TO discussion of the army reorganization. |
Emperor William, it Is said, obtained EN- |
psror Francis Joseph's assurance that the |
lessons taught by the German expert |
ment would not be ignored by |
Austria. The latter is really quite as much |
interested In the question as Germany, see |
ing that two years service largely prevails |
in the Austrian army, on account OF the |
last army bill, which increased the yearly |
conscription without proportionately aug |
menting the peace effective 1t Is reported |
that the meeting arranged to take place |
between Emperor William and the Duke of |
Cumberland at Schonbrunn to discuss the |
question OF the brunswick succession fell |
through owing to the sx-Queen of Hanover

Victoria advises him to renounce his claim
TO the throne OF Hanover, while his own
mother vehemently opposes renunciatlon.
which would be against his fathers dying
wishes II the duke follows Queen Victoria's
counsel, ii is thought probable that his
eldest son will be allowed to succeed TO the
throne OF Brunswick, though be himself
would only be allowed the usufruct OF bis
fathers immense wealthy.
While Emperor William was 10 Vienna
he had a communication with the Hum
garien prime minister, in the course OF
which he promised that the next time he
visited Austria be would also make visit
to Buda-P Pesth. IL is also reported that he
mentioned his intention to visit King Hum
bert during the coming winter.
THE BRUTAL MILIT AIRY RIDE.
The Austrian military riders who took
part in the long distance race have returned
to Vienna, leaving about half their horses
dead or disabled in Berlin. The horses OF
the German riders Jared little better. The
enthusiasm Of the general public over the
race has quite vanished and has been re.
placed by sort of moral disgust The
German society for the protection Of
animals hos decided to protest against the
brutality Of the ride and to bring the ques-
tion before the Reichstag.
Inspector General Rosenburg, one OF the
highest authorities on cavalry training has
issued paper on the race, In which he at
tributes the success OF the Austrians chiefly
to the fact that they worked harder from |
a good rest on the first night while the Aus
trisns reduced their rest TO a minimum.
Gen. Rosenburg considers that for stay and
20 the Austrian cavalry is the best In the
world.
report giving the export to America
from the consular district OF Berlin for the
past three months shows that they have in
creased S2,625,550 compared with the
corresponding period last year. The In
crease Is mainly due to the Hamburg sugar
exports.
A sensation has been caused in the theatrl~
cal world by the absconding OF Herr Jun
Herman, director Of the New Duetzsche
opera house, who is heavily in debt. He
has gone to Monaco with his mistress, leAv-
ing his family penniess and his company
unpaid. Jun Kerman's father has often
played in America, aud he will appear In
New York in November. he himself has
lost money through assisting his so1.
Most Of the German papers contain
articles upon Columbus. All agree that the
destiny Of the entire American continent
Ia unavoldably bound up with and can only
be accomplished through the progress and
leadership OF tho United States.
