BERLIN, Jan. 28.-The reichstag COM
mittee on the army bill has concluded
its general debate. The closing de-
bates showed an increased disposition
to accept the governments proposals,
the only material opposition being Of
I yfered by faction of the Centre party,
led by DIR. Lieber. Chancellor Won
Caprivi once more appeared before the
committee and spoke in favor of the
bill, urging that it be approved in en-
tirety. The measure, he said, was not
intended to avert momentary danger of
an acute nature. 1t was aimed to
make suitable provision for q state of
things which he must describe as pre-
senting permanent danger. The mem
bers OF the committee in conversation
In the lobbies subsequent to the chan
cellor's speech concurred in the opinion
that bis words menaced an appeal to
the country if the bill was not passed
by the reichstag.

coalitic1 OF the fleets of France, Russia
and Denmark. Herr Hahn, member
OF the reichstag, made a powerful inn
preston upon the commission by the
statement that, despite the declarations
of the Danish foreign minister in the
folksthing, the German government had
reason to believe Denmark, in the event
OF war, would make common cause with
Russia.
Though the reception of the czare-
witch here is not likely to modify the
grouping of the powers or reverse the
policy of Russia, it lie decidedly tenn
porary check to the French party at the
czar's court. The impression that the
czarewitch created on the diplomats is
the reverse OF what waa recoried by the
semi-official press. The closest observ-
ers cay the cordiality was all on the side
of Emperor William.

contest had resolved itself into fight
between Lombard street and the inter

largely attended, and considerable en-
thusiaem was manifested.
CALCUTTA, Jan. 2S.--At a large meet
