BERLIN, May 20 Thought it would
still be rash and premature to attempt
10 predict the fate of the divers groups
at the coming elections for members of
the reichstag, it can safely be said the
government will offer q slight concession
in the army bill regarding the two
years. service, with the probability that
it will get a majority in the next house
to support the bill. As the contestants
arrange themselves for the approaching
battle it grows evident that the split in
the Freiainnige party is widening and a
larger faction Of that political group
than was at first expected will be sent
toward the side of the government. A
some what similar condition Of affairs
exists in the Centre party. Another
factor promising well for the govern
ment is the growing tendency of the
National Liberals to act in concert with
the moderate section of the Freisinnige.
AGITATION AGAINST CAA,sIvI.
A notable feature of the sitr alton is
the Conservative agitation AGAINST
Chancellor Won Caprivi. While sup
porting the army bill, the Conservatf, ,
papers support any candid ate who gives
assent to protectionism, bi-met allism
and anti Semitism The Conservative
candid ates proclaim that the chancel-
lor's commercial policy is running the
empire, and demand that he be replaced
by man better versed in economic and
financial questions Count Gutenberg,
president OF the Prussian council of min
listers, and DR.. MIGUEL, Prussian minis
ter of finance, are the preseut ideal
chiefs OF the new cabinet. Some yearn
after Prince Bismarck.

CHICAGO, May 20.-The committe APP
appointed yesterday at the meeting OF
passenger agents reported today, recon-
mending a $l7 50rouni trip rate between
Chicago and Missouri river, and $3.50
round trip rate between Chicago and
Colorado common points. All the roads
represented favored the recommended
ton, with the exception of the Burling
ton and the Rock Island, who wanted it
higher. After long discussion the
recommendations were put to vote and
lost by Is to IL, it requiring q unani-
nous vote to carry the proposition.
Charles M. Pratt, general passenger
and ticket agent of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis railroad, gave formal notice Of
the withdrawal OF his road from the as
sociation. to take immediate effect. The
action is caused by the desire to give the
people of the northwest the same pro-

MRS. cLEvRIAND AND rHE PRINcEss.

MRS. CLEvEIAND AND THE PRINCESS.
Mrs. Cleveland and the infanta
chatted briakly in English during part
Of the brief visit, while at times the con-
vefeation was general.
At IL 10 the infanta bade adieu, fol-
lowed by the others. The royal party
returned direct to the hotel, and lunch.
con was hardly over before the princess
began to receive callers. The first after
the Spanish minister were Mr.. and Mrs.
Curry, between whom and the princess
an intimate acquaintance was formed
when Curry was United States minister
at Madrid.
At 8 O'Clock two carriages drove up
and Mrs. Cleveland, accompanied by
Col. John M. Wilson, Mrs. Carlisle,
Mrs. Herbert, Mrs. Hoke Smith and
Mrs. Bissell, entered the hotel, where
they remained few minutes.
THE PRESIDENTS PRECEDENT.
Mr.. Cleveland did not return the call
OF the princess. In this connection the
precedent he set during his former ad-
minietration is remembered; when
Queen Kapiolani was here and visited
the president he did just as he did today.
After the queen returned to her apart
ments, Mrs Cleveland, accompanied by
Colonel Wilson, returned the call and
with that the formslities ended.
Following Mrs. Cleveland and the
wives OF the members of the cabinet,
came long list of callers, including
most of the foreign ministers now in
Washington, and members of the vari-
ous legations.
At 4:30 the princess was driven to
Arlington. The royal guests enjoyed
tine ride, for the afternoon was perfect,
and were deeply interested in historic
Arlington. The evening was spent in
their own apartments.
EULALIA's STAY IN WASHINGTON.
The programme for Princess Enlalia's
stay in Washington was arranged this
afternoon. Monday and Wednesday
next week will be devoted to
Sightseeing. Tuesday morning the
members of the diplomatic corps
will accompany the royal party
to Mt. Vernon on q steamer char
tered for the purpose. Tuesday even
ing President and Mrs Cleveland viii
give dinner to her royal highness and
the royal party at the executive man
sion, at which the cabinet officers and
ladies, Chief Justice Fuller and Mrs.
Fuller, General Schotield and Mrs Scho-
field. Senator Sherman, reprs senting
the foreign relations committee, and
Mrs Sherman will be present. Wednes-
day evening the princess will attend
ball to be given in honor Of the birth
day of Queen Victoria by Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador, at the
embassy.
THE INFANTA's FUTURE MOVEMENTS.
The inianta and suite will leave Wash
ington for New York Thursday. An in
vitation to attend grand ball TO be
given her in New York CITY has been
accepted by the princess. The. infanta
has decided to accept no invitations ex-
cept such as contained in the official
programme arranged for her. She ex-
pects, however. to throw off her official
character in short time, probably after
the functions in her honor given in Chi
cago are concluded, and she win then
go farther west in the character of a

WASHINGTON, May 20.--Infanta Eulalia
and suite called on President and Mrs.
Cleveland at IL O'Clock this morning and
were received in the blue room. There
was little in the reception that eug-
gested formality, and the party INDUCED
in pleasant conversation for l5 minutes,
when the royal party Withdrew.
The arrangements for the visit were
made last night by Secretary Gresham,
and at minutes before Ii two hand
come carriages drove up to the annex of
the Arlington. The princess was es-
corted on the arm OF Commander Davis
to the carriage in which she rode with
her husband and the Spanish minister.
In the second carriage rode the mar
chionees, the duke and Sefi0r Don Pedro.
The princess wore dress of grey ben
galine, bordered around the train with
grey ostrich feathers; pink satin girdle
completed her toilet. The prince and
members of her suite were gorgeous in
gold-laced uniforms.
The day was bright and beautiful.
Large crowds gathered both at the ho-
tel where the party took carriage, and
in the neighborbood OF the White House
where they alighted, to get glimpse of
the princess. AS soon as the carriages
started toward the White House, tine
crowd at the hotel broke and ran
through the park to witness the ARRIVAL
OF the distinguished party in the blue
room, which was decorated tastefully
but not lavishly.
RECEPTION OF THE ROYAL GUESTS.
President and Mrs. Cleveland stood
ready to receive the royal visitors.
Sefior Muragua, Spanish minister, pre-
sented the infanta and Prince Antoine
while Commander Davis, the duke O

TO PROTECT THE SEALS.
The United States Would Fight Half
the World to Do So.

PARIS, May BIN his peroration before
the arbitration committee, Mr.. Carter
described the slaughter of female seals,
heavy with their unborn young, and other
horrors of pelagic sealing. 10 prevent
these horrors and to protect the herds the
United States had taken the position
which he h0d explained to the best of his
ability. The United States had taken this
position at the risk of war with Great
Britain, and they had been ready to main
tain this position and thus discharge the
duties to humanity, even if they had been
obliged to face half the world in arms.
History would recognize their rights and
the justice of their cause.
The duty of the United States, he said,
had not been extinguished by the refer
ence Of the dispute to the tribunal, but
bad been merely transferred. The United
States had withdrawn and left to the arbi-
traitors the sacred duty of forbidding pela-
gic sealing and confining seal killing to the
islands. If the tribunal should decline to
assume t his duty it would only leave for
posterity n new source of contention.
From beginning to the end Mr.. Carter
/ had spoken forty hours. As he sat down
Baron de Courcel, president of the court,

you, sir, for this magnificent speech, which
has been characterized by loftiness of
view well worthy of this high court"

THE GERMAN ARMY BILL
A Compromise Between the Chan
cellor and the Clerical Leader.
EMPEROR WILLIAM Is SATISFIED

The Pence Force to be Increased $50, 200
Im,nediateIy-sixty New batteries OF
-Four Guns Each---The Government Has
Not Yet q Majority.
BERLIN, May 3.-The army bill com
promise arranged between Chancellor Won
Caprivi and Freiherr Won Huene, the
Clerical leader contains these details:
The peace effective shall be increased by
$1,000 men at once and in the course OF tho
next three years shall be raised gradually
until 10000 men, or, practically, the full
number demanded recently by the chan
cellor, shall have been added to the present
standing army. The sixty new batteries
of field artillery shall have four instead OF
six guns each. By the concessions thus in
dictated the expenditures contemplated by
the army bill will be reduced some 9,oooI-
600 marks.
Caprivi's supposed ultimatum some
three weeks ago called for the addition at
once of $4,000 men to the peace effective;
while now aPating this demand partially,
he obtains eventually more than he was
believed to have the slightest chance df
obtaining. Just what the result of the ar
rangement between him and Freiherr Won
Huene Will he is still in doubt. The gov
ernment has not yet secured q majority.
The eventual success of its efforts to do
SO depends upon the following, which
Freiherr Won Huene can obtain among the
clericals and upon the number of Radicals
willing to cut loose from Euegen Richter
and support the Haenel- Rickert-B -Bambergdr
group in voting for the bill. Both are still
uncertain quantities. The emperor's a l.
rival is awaited with anxiety, as all is be-
lieved to depend upon the influence which
he can exert upon the party leaders.
Emperor William has telegraphed his
approval Of the compromise. The tele-
gram will be laid on the table in the
reichstag today. The clerical me mbers of
the rcichstag met last evening to decide
upon their attitude toward Freiherr Ven
Huene's arrangement with the chancellor.
1t is reported that the Conservatives,
Imperialists, many National Liberals,
twenty Radicals, the sixteen Poles and
amended bill. II Freiherr Won Huene can
carry with him fairly large number pf
| clericals the compromise will get major
| ity.
The radicals are in hot domestic quar-
rel over the bill and the proposed change 8.
| They held q caucus which from beginning
to end was exceedingly stormy. Eugdn
Richter spoke vehemently against the bill,
either as it is or as it will be under the
Caprivi-Huene arrangement, and advised
united opposition to the government.
| A most popular feature of the compIo'
mise is that the reduction of the money
demand by 100000 marks will allow Of
the abandonment of the proposed duties
on beer and spirits.
