GERM ANY's Array BILL.

The Social Democrats Making Des-
psrata Efforts to Defeat 1t.
LONDON, Feb. 1s.-In Germany the So
cial democrats are making final efforts to
defeat the army bill. Meetings TO protest
against the bill will be held In all the larger
cities and towns tomorrow, and the social
democratic press has been ordered by the
central committee In Berlin 10 unite next
week in violent attack upon the measure.
The prospect is that unless the government
accepts the national liberal compromise
granting $4,000 men Instead Of the
$1,000 demanded by the bill,
It will be obliged TO dissolve

THE TWO YEARS CLAUSE.
BERLIN, Feb 18-The action of the army
bill committee on Thursday in rejecting the
two years service clause, has by no means
finally settled the question at issue. The
committee had on successive divisions re-
jected Herr Bennegsin's compromise pro-
pcaals, the motions OF Herr Richert and
Herr Bebel and the new clause, the first OF
the bill. Yet Chancellor Won Cap
rivi privately declares that the
committees action will not prejudice the
decision of the Reichstag. The government
relies upon the fact that the two years term
is 80 much approved by the mass Of the
electors tnaC tney VIII DOE permit bne helcns-

pledges to apply the law practically for two
years but he insists that the government

MORE BRRE GOLD ON BAND.
Secretary Foster VIII Not Issue Bonds
at Present.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. - Secretary
Charles Foster was able to give President
Harrison on his return this afternoon g re-
assuring report as to the treasury situation,
the United States treasurer having reported
TO him that at the close of business to-day
the treasury would have nearly $4,000, 900
of free gold TO its credit, and therefore that
unless some change occurred 1t would not
be necessary to issue bonds in order to pro-
tect ths $4,000 900 reserve. Unless the
situation changes on Monday, Secretary
Foster will not then announce a bond
issue, as he had thought of
doing. There is q good deal of
comment on the fact that the bankers In
New York, who are known to be personal
friends of Secretary Foster, have not been
very active in helping the secretary to get
gold aud on the other hand have been very
active In trying TO induce the administra-
tion to issue new bonds. This fact has been
pointedly brought to the attention OF the
President and is said to have furnished him
with one reason for refusing TO give his con-
sent to an issue of bonds

TAXES ON RAW COTTON.
The Judiciary Committees Report on
the Refunding BILL

The Judiciary Committees Report on
the RefundinR Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Mr. Oates from
the committee on the judiciary reported to
the House to-day, with a recommendation
for its passage. bill providing for refund
ing the tax collected on raw cotton under
the act of July, 1862, in the event that the
supreme court holds that law to have been
unconstitutional. The bill opens the court
of claims to those who paid the tax until a
case is made and appealed to the supreme
court, and provides for a stay of proceed
ings until that court decides the question
Should the law of 1852 be held
thereafter for all persons interested TO bring
their suits in the court Of claims. II, on
the contrary, the law is sustained 1t will
put an end to all these claims Under this
law $68, ,072, 3S9 was collected between the
years 1868 and 1868, $64, 1886. 121 of this
amount being collected in the southern
states, either directly or Indirectly from
the producers. The question OF the con-
stitutionality of the law was brought be-
fore the supreme court in the case of Sam
ders, from Tennessee. Eight justices sat in
the case, and, after full consideration, the
court was found to be equally di-
vided, four justices maintaining the
law constitutional and four that il was uu-
constitutional. Before the question could
again be presented the law was repealed,
after which a case could not be made. The
committee think the question OF sufficient
importance to provide means by which the
supreme court may determine the question
and set at rest the question as TO whether
this large sum collected as taxes was right
fully or wrongfully obtained.

Her Emissaries Havs an Interview
With Assistant Secretary Wharton.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-While the
Hawaiian annexation commissioners were
paying their respects to Secretary
Elkins at the war department
this morning, their diplomatic an
tagonist, Paul NeumanD, the ex-queeus'
representative, was in another part Of the
building in consultation with Acting Sec
retary Wharton Of the state department.
with whom be had a long talk concerning
the object of his visit. Assistant Secre-
tary Wharton could, of course, do nothing,
and Mr.. Neumann expressed himself salts
fed that his only chance for successfully
representing the claims of the ex-queen lay
through the medium of congress. Prince
David, who accompanies Mr. Neumann, res
mained with him during the morning. The
prince in complexion is much lighter
than the natives of Hawaii He was edu-
Gated in the states, speaks English fluently
and has Travelled extensively, but has never
visited Washington before. He said the
emissaries would simply present TO the
proper officers the papers now in the pos
session Of Mr.. Neumann on behalf OF the
queen. 1--WE do not iUtend to make
struggle against annexation" he said. "We
are simply carrying out the instructions OF
our queen. II the United States govern
mens sees fit to annex Hawaii. we shall
make no complaint The prince intends
TO remain in Washington until after the
Inauguration, and it Is expected that he
will be "lionized" to some extent.
The confirmation Of Judge Jaokson's
nomination was hailed by the friends OF the
treaty OF annexation with Hawaii, who
feared that it would be used as a "pusher"
TO prevent action on the nomination. Now,
that that matter is disposed Of. they believe
that the subject will be promptly disposed
OF, probably In time to permit the Hawaiian
commissioners to carry the news OF the rati-
hcation of the treaty 70 Honolulu slmulta-
neously with the appearance there OF the
document itself.

The Last of the Military Companies
Withdrawn.
TOPEKA, KAN, Feb. 18.-The city has
relapsed into its usual quietude and nothing
remains to indicate that less than forty-eiRht
hours ago bloody conflict between the
forces of the governor and the populacs was
imminent. The last Of the militia com
panles left at an early hour for Clyde,
Lawrence and Holton. The three local
provisional companies were disbanded last
night and no troops remain in service. All
but twelve Of the deputy sheriffs have also
been discharged. After the calling Of the
roll and the reading Of the titles of several
bills the republican House took a
recess until Tuesday. Nearly all
of the members Of both houses left town on
the noon trains for their homes.
In case decided by Judge Hazen this
morning the existence Of the de facbo legis-
lature was questioned. The decision said
there were two bodies, each claiming legis-
latIve authority, and the court must, there
fore, determine which appeared to be
clothed with the proper power. The judge
did not regard the appropriation passed on
Tuesday last as a legal bill or as signed
by the legal speaker and an injunction
would be, therefore, issued. The bill in
question was signed by Speaker Dunsmore
Of the populist House, and, consequently,
by inference, although not stated in exact
language, the court held that Speaker
Douglass of the republican Houss is enti~
tied to legal recognition. The populists will
now take the case to the supreme court.
The supreme court adjourned the hearing
Of the habeas corpus case of L. C.. Gum Of
Labette county, who was arrested for re-
fusing to testify before the election COM
mittee OF the republican House, until Tues
day morning. The outcome OF this case
will decide the legality Of the republican
House from the standpoint of the highest
tribunal 10 the state, and should it he ad-
verse to the populists the latter will be
checkmated at both ends and will not have
a leg TO stand on.
