FATE OF THE ARMY BILL.
The Rejection Of the Bill VIII Result in tho
Fall of the Ministry.

BERLIN, Jan. G.-The January number
az the Preusslsche Jahrbuecher contains
a notable article by Or. Delbrurek on the
Army bill. The rejection Of the bill, ne
Saws. would be an unqualified disaster 10
the German nation, and especially 70 th7
monarchy. In view OF the declarations
of the Cabinet the defeat OF the Dlll must
now lead 10 the fall Of every minister.
The withdrawal OF the bill, which mas
bcen recommended by the business in
terests which are to be taxed TO raise tne
additional 5O.OOO,0O0 annually. Dr. Del
brurek saws. would be an irreparable blow
TO the Emperor, who, after long delibera-
tlon. has placed the whole weight OF MS
personality behind IL.
In drafting the complicated School Dill
many errors were possible. and wide
divergeucy Of views as to tho expediency
OF the bill was to be expected. In mat
ter concerning the military strength OF
Germany as compared with that Of the
countries arrayed against her, such errors
and differences OF opinion were out OK the
question. Much more was at stake than
the granting Of a certain sum OF money
and 4 certain contingent OF men. n SOW

ton and then is compelled to abandon 1t

sense OF the word.

tacks upon the bill. In a leader yester-
day morning It stated that five e-sixths OF
the officers Of the rank Of major and up
wards were opposed to the bill, not only
because they believed two-year term
would not be sufficient for adequate drill

SATISFACTION AND CONFIDENCE
Briefly Express the Condition OF Trade
in the Southern States.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Stock-taiing and spring
trade preparations have impaired tone
OF quiet to most lines OF business. Ex-
ceptions TO this, however. are found In the
distributive demand for coal and clothing
and boots and shoes, stimulated by the
present cold snap Mills were active In
1892. New mills and increased production.
large profits and low prices we're the fea-
lures. Cotton goods production was the
largest ever known
At Philadelphia the features are the
movement I'm wool and activity of tobacco
dealers In orders.
At Baltimore shoes and clothing are
active, and the outlook is good. Collec-
tions are satisfactory.
Il is a season OF quiet preparations at
the South. Reports there deal more with
the last years review and this years
prospects than with actual new business.
Satisfaction and confidence briefly ex-
press the situation. At New Orleans sugar
is active The hnal out turn OF the crop
will probably exceed 10000 tons. Cotton
is firm and In better demand Drummers
are about starting out from Nashville.
At Charleston the phosphate trade Ia In
good shape. Liquor dealers are still agt-
tated about prohibitory legislation. Col
lections are good at Nashville. but only
fair at Atlanta and unimproved at Birm-
ingham.

REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.
The Committee on Order of Business Dis
cuss the Pending Measures.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 6.-The
committee on order OF business appointed
by the Republican caucus held a short
meeting last evening and discussed the
various measures now before the Senate.
II was decided to call up the proposed
amendments to the Interstate Commerce
act.
Further determination as to pending
legislation was postponed until he chair
ran. Mr.. Sherman. could confer with the
Democratic committee.
The measure introduced with a view OF
suppressing crime in the Territory OF
Oklahoma and regulating the courts there,
was favorably considered. and after being
amended will be passed. There Is no
likelihood that the bill Of Mr.. Perkins
to ad nit that Territory 10 Statehood will
pass. or that similar measures respecting
other territories will receive favorable
action.
The balance Of the week win be con-
sumed In the consideration Of quaran-
