showed an increased disposition to accept
the Governments proposals. the only mate
rial opposition being offered by faction of
the Center party, led by Dr.. Iceberg.
Chancellor Won Caprivi once more ap-
peared before the committee and spoke in
favor Of the bill, urging that it be approved
in its entirety. The measure. he said, was
not intended to avert moment ry danger OF

suitable provision for q state Of things

Chancellor's speech. concUrred in the
opinion that his words menaced an appeal

Denmark, in the event Of war, would make
common cause with Russia. Though the
reception OF the Czarowi,ch here is not
likely to modify the grouping OF the powers
or reverse the policy of Russia. 1t is de-
cldedly a temporary check to the French
party at the Cars court. The impression
that the Czarowitch created on the diplo-
