THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Administered to the German Army Re-
eruits by Wholesale. Not Individually.

BERLIN, November l9.-The opening
of the Reichstag would have passed in
the usual way but for the military sur
roundings. For the first time in the
history of Prussia the oath of allegi-
ance was administered to the recruits
In body. in most impressive manner,
and il the open air. Under Emperor
Williams predecessors, recruits were
taken by regiments to the garrison
church aud were swern In by the regl-
mental chaplain.
On Thursday last. however, after
reading his speech to the Reichstag
the Emperor from the first attended the
proceedings personally. Upon this oc-
casion the Emperor united the whole
fifteen thousand men in the Lustgarten
beneath the windows Of the white ball
of the castle. where the members OF the
Reichstag had just listened 10 the
Kaiser's speech. Perhaps there Is no
connection between the two events,
but people remark that the Emperor's
pointed Injunction 10 the recruits to
the effect that il was their dnty TO pro-
tect him against his enemies at home
as well as abroad, was very significant.
The fight in the Reichstag begins to-
morrow. The commercial treaties with
Spain, Servia and Roumania would, OF
themselves, hardly give occasion for the
development OF bitter feelings, but they
move in that direction. The new de-
parture commenced by the treaty with
Austria and lowering the duty on grain,
etc., is simply a link in the chain en-
a,ofr . rl,n 10 Inn nil
Russia. The agrarian party noted with
dismay that the speech from the throne
held out the hope of a satisfactory treaty
with Russia and, the agrarian league
has grown with such giant strides, even
largely influencing the moderate par
ties, like the free conservatives and
national Liberals, that its opposition be-
comes formidable to the government,
especially since Chancellor Won Caprivl
can no longer count on the support OF
the United Radical party. The Con-
servatives will make the best OF the
first chance they find to place difficult
ties In the way of the Chancellor. A
pronuncIamento, published in all the
leading Conservative papers, Is the war
cry. 1t is given out that everything
must be done to impede the action OF
the government in every possible direc-
tion.
The revelation concerning aristo-
cratic habits, arising from the Hanover
gambling scandals, come, however as
rude shock to the agrarian campaign.
The Socialists and Liberals will arraign
their private life and the dissipation OF
their sons and the squandering OF i'm
mense fortunes as proof that the pre-
tended losses due to agricultural de-
preston are mere buncombe.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.
The Opera Bouffe Performance Goes on
With Much VigOL


With Muoh VigOL
NRw YORK, November 19.-The
Worlds Rio Janerio despatch says: The
Government forts have been lombard
ing Fort Villegaignon with great vigor
all day long. The Government pretends
to expect tomorrow the war vessels
Bahia, Tiradontos and Parahyba, and
another vessel bought in Argentina, and
claims that the Government squadron
under Admiral Gonzales will be able TO
capture the insurgent warshipS in port.
To do this it is absolutely necessary to
silence Fort Viilegaignon and that
fortress was certainly very badly used
to-day. An insurgent torpedo boat
fred several times into the city to-
day and the sharpshooters replied from
Gloria CASTILLO hills. Later launch
from the foreign fleet was sent to Ad-
miral Melo's flagship, and it was inti-
mated to him that this act o! the insur-
gents was violation of the agreement
entered into by the foreign powers.
The firing at the city was thereupon
stopped, at least temporarily. The in
surgent batteries continue TO bonn bard
without mercy the villages west OF
Nictheroy proper. The government
forces continue to burn the insurgent
warehouses at Ammacaco.
