GERMANY is AROUSED.
Popular Agitation in Favor of the
Army Bill.
Won Caprivi Has Created a Sentiment
That the Reichstag Cannot Pos
sibIy Stand Against.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

BERLIN. Feb. 1s-The action OF the
Army Bill Committee rejecting the two
years service clause by no means finally
settled the question at issue. The Govern
ment relies upon the fact that the two
years term will be SO much approved by
the mass of electors that they will not per-
nit the Reichstag to reject the offer Of the
two years term IL ii is made permanent.
In the meantime popular agitation in favor
of the army bill is becoming acute through
out the empire. An enthusiastic meeting
of the representatives of art. science aud
industry in Berlin adopted resolutions de-
manding that the Reichstag effect an
agreement with the Government on the
army bill, and similar resolutions were
adopted at meetings In ali the chief indus
trial centers of Germany

was besought to refuse assent to further
reduction Of the customs duties, while bear

WORKED A CHANGE
What de Lesseps Did in
Washington.
NO MONEY WAS IN SIGHT.
But There Came Mysterious Altera-
tion in the Views of Many
Statesmen of That Day.
Special to TIRE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Before the Pan
ANA investigating committee to-day j.
Floyd King, formerly member of Congress
from Louisiana, testified that the Hayes
administration was strongly in favor Of
upholding the Monroe doctrine and hostile
10 the French company. Secretary Thomp-
son was strongly opposed to the French
company. and was vehement in expression
that the Monroe doctrine should be asserted
against the Panama Canal Company.
When asked as to President Hayes atti-
tude King said the President was strongly
opposed to the canal as a French institu-
tion. In all his visits to President Hayes
witness was impressed with three things:
He was a man OF extraordinary integrity
and the highest sense of honor, and was
an exalted patriot.
Il believe that to be the judgment OF the
entire country and of history" said Patter-
son of Tennessee.
"And," added King. she was the kindest
President personally to our Southern people
| have ever come in contact with"
''Seligman testified that Thompson re-
signed as Secretary of the Navy to go into
the canal company with the consent and
approval of Hayes" Patterson suggested.
81 solemnly do not believe it. Hayes
whole moral and mental bearing was in alb
solute opposition to it," King replied. with
the utmost earnestness.
"What, then. did you think of the retire
ment of Secretary Thompson TO become the
representative of the Panama Canal Conn.,
pany ?" asked Mr.. Geary.
Il thought it most unprecedented ac-
tion." replied KiIg. II had not the slight
&c hQ wo tn
sign"
Mr.. Geary asked, without receiving any
very definite response, a number of ques-
tions as to whether or not at the time the
canal matters were under discussion there
was no. a good deal of talk about the use Of
improper means to influence legislation.
King replied that the painful fact to his
mind was that after De Lesseps' visit there
was lack Of any feeling regarding the as
sertion Of the Monroe doctrine. The at
mosphere suggested that public sentiment
had mysteriOusly changed concerning the
Panama company.
II know Of no improper means used to
change the sentiment" he said, "and can
not recall any circumstances save that one
lady, now dead, once said to me in badinage,

New YORK, Feb. IS. - Superintendent
Byrnes says he will not permit any further
progress of preparations for the COrbett-
Mitchell fight in this city and threatens to
arrest all concerned IL any further attempt
is made here to consummate battle arrange
ments.

building surrounded and two of the officers
made known their mission. 1t is thought
that the principals in the arrangements will
try to meet at some place near New York,
and it is said that Brady communicated
with Mitchell and that M arrangement had
been made for a meeting tonight.
Superintendent Byrnes' action was per-
feet b0mbshell among the sports The
World building, the appointed place for the
negotiations, was surrounded by an i'm
mense crowd, which even pressed into the
lower corridors. None of the principals
appeared, as Brady was warned OF the pro-
posed action of the police while en- route.
Corbett's manager. Brady. said this after
noon regarding the proposed match: II
exceeded my authority as manager when /
offered $500 out OF the purse for the loser.
Corbett wants the winner 10 take all. I'll
consent to pay the $500 to the loser, but
not q cent more. l don't think Mitchell
wants to fight. and am OF the opinion that
the match will fall through"
Late in the afternoon Brady was found
again, wrathful and disgusted. He ex-
pressed his opinion of the Englshman
freely ms big buffer and fake fighter.
Brady added that ii Mitchell did not agree
to the terms this evening all the negotia-
tions would be declared off and arrange
