Army Bill.

A Test Vote Shows a Majority for the
Army Bill.
BERLIN, July 13.-At to-day's session
of the Reichstag DR.. Osann, National Lib
eral, moved the adoption of resolution
declaring that in consequence of the fod-
der famine the proposed army maneuvers
ought not to be proceeded with.
General Won Kaltenborn Statchu, Min
lister of War, opposed the motion. He.
said the control of the maneuvers was
prerogative of the Emperor, and the
house had no right to interfere. He add
ed that the Prussian authorities, taking
into account the prevalent distress,
would provide fodder magazines for
horses and buy cattle from the people in
the suffering districts for troops taking
part in the maneuvers.
After some further discussion the sub
ject was dropped and the house proceed
ed with the second reading of the army
bill. DIR. Lieber, Centrist, made speech
against the bill, but advanced no reason
against its adoption beyond those en-
ployed by him against the original bill in
the last Reichstag.
Chancellor Caprivi, who has recovered
from his recent sickness, replied, and
concluded by asking the house to pass
the bill in the shortest time possible.
A vote was then taken on the first ar
ticle Of the bill and it was passed-l9S to
1S7-a Government majority of IL.
Count Herbert Bismarck supported the
Government.
The article fixes for two years the peace
effective force at 479, 229 men. Volunteers
for the year are not included in the num-
Der.
The Ministerialists are jubilant at the
result, which practically amounts to the
passage of the whole bill.
In the vote the members declared them
selves thus: For the BILLS Poles, Is
Radicals and Unionists, 10 Anti-Semites,
50 National Liberals, q Free Conserva-
tives, IS Conservatives and Clericals and

Olcott, doing business as Olcott & Co.,
exporters of grain and general merchan-
disc, has assigned. Olcott came into

NEW YORK, July 13.-The Tribune will
say in the morning: The Nicaragua Canal
Construction Company is out of funds,
and has stopped all work upon the Mica
ragua Canal. For some time it has been
rumored that they have been affected by
the general stringency in money, and it
also became known that there were some
internal discussions in the company, and
there has been great disappointment that
the management has failed to obtain loans
from this country and from England.
y Yesterday the officers admitted that
work on the canal had stopped. They
say the failure to go ahead with the work
is simply and solely the failure to raise
money, and they had not much doubt
when business affairs became easier that
work would go on. For the present.
however, the vast plant in Central
America will remain idle.
1t has been intimated that the stoppage
of the construction Is due partly to po-
litical troubles and revolutions in Central
America. Those changes would, how
ever, have caused comparatively little
trouble to the company, had it been sup
piled with funds to go ahead with the
work.

A Patent Steam-Cooker Man Escapes
Being Taken East.
SANTA Rosa, July l3.-C. w. Sterick,
patent steam-cooker man, who was ar
rested on a requisition from the Governor
of Missouri on Tuesday night and started
for the East early on the following morn
ing in custody OF Ewes, the arresting Of
ticer, returned here last evening.
Ewes, who came West and arrived with
the requisition, strange to say was the
prosecuting witness in the case. He
charged Sterick with selling him terri
tory in Indiana and Illinois which had
been sold previously.
When Ewes reached Sacramento with
the prisoner the latter made a proposition
to lay the matter before lawyer, and if
the latter said Ewes case was a good one
he (Sterick) would pay the expenses of
both back East; and if a different answer
was received from the lawyer, Ewes was
to turn the prisoner loose.
The lawyer decided that Ewes did not
have legal point to stand on, as the law
under which the warrant for the arrest
was issued was in direct conflict with the
United States law governing patents.
Ewes went East alone and Sterick came
back.
