The debate on the vote of supply was con-
tinued In the German reichstag yesterday.
Chancellor Won Caprivi declared that a
number of military officers had been COM
promised by the Hanover gambling trial,
and a military inquiry had been opened in
the matter. He asked the house to sus-
pend debate on the case until the result of
the inquiry should be made known.
Replying to the attacks made on the army
by Herren Liebknecht and Bebel, social
democrats, the chancellor said he consid-
cred the socialist agitation among the SOL
diers highly dangerous Socialists he added.
should recognize the fact that if they sue
ceeded in undermining the army, they would
have undermined Germanys existence.
He also referred to the anti-Semitic agita-
ton, saying that those who started it were
unable to control it, and the ignorant and
disSa tisfied population would eventually be
unable to discriminate between Jewish and
Christian capital, and would attack capital
generally.

Estimates and Appropriations,
For the fiscal year ending June 80, 1895,
the estimates for the navy and marine
corps including increase of the navy and
public WORKS, amount to s2I,SSJ,914O2.
The estimates for the same purposes for
the current fiscal year amounted to s24,-
Al ,43S2l. or s3,414.415.S1 less than those
for the next fiscal year.
For the current fiscal year the estimates
for increase of the navy amounted to So
IO3,6JI, and for the next fiscal year they
amount to Sl2,455.O25. the difference being
81, al ,:GS.
The estimates for the running expenses
of the navy and marine corps, including i'm
provements at navy yards and stations for
t the a.. next fiscal year, amount to SO, 430.-
SS9.O2. being SG63, O4T.S1 in excess of the es-
Inmates of the current fiscal year.
The estimates for the coming year. when
items in last years appropria lions and not
III these estimates are included. are So 3S1-
SJ264 in excess of the appropria tions for
the present fiscal year. In the preparation
OF these estimates every effort has been
made TO reduce each item to the lowest pos
slDle point and yet am convinced that no
smaller amounts than herein designat ted
VIII sufflce for the aCAIaly necessary ex-
pendltIreS of this department.
Inc excess of these estimates over the
appropriations for the present fiscal year
Is due to the fact that only 100000 was ap-
prOpriated by the act of March 3 1s43 for
ordnance, under increase navy" whereas
under same head, $6,50O,OUD will be required
during the coming fiscal year. This great
diilerence results from the fact that BY
reason OF the failure of armor contractors
to supply armor, large balances had &C
cumulated TO the credit of this fund and
these balances heretofore appropriated are
being utilized to pay for armor and anna
ment coming in during the present
year. The sum carried in the present esti-
mates, S6,'Oo.OOO. will be all needed be-
cause of the prompt deliveries of armor
and armament now being made and it will
pay in full for all the guns and armor re-
quired for all the vessels heretofore au-
thor;zed
The only improvements OF navy ward
plants recommended are such as will main
tain them in good condition to do renai-
work only. Competition between shipbrlild-
ers is now very sharp, and at present raIcs

A CRUEL Joke.
Practical Joke that May Result Seriously for
All Concerned.

BElpGEroRr, April %. - Miss Minnie
Luther, the pretty l7-year-old daughter OF
Christopher Luther, has been in bed since
Monday afternoon last as result of p
practical joke PLAYED on her by two vouna
women, who work with her in the cartridge
factory.
When the young girl entered the factory
she held herself aloof from the other girls
and they resolved to take her down,
They annoyed her in dozen ways
ON Monday Bridget Burns and Nora Gil
bert sprang forward and grabbed Miss
Luther. They lifted her from the floor and
dumped her. feet first, into barrel. Her
bead and shoulders projected. Her tor
mentors pushed her down into the barrel
until She was almost doubled up. Then
'Iey got heavy iron sieve, and fitting it
around the head of the barrel hammered it
Gown tight. Every tine an appeal came
from the barrel the others would answer it,
ny some tnunting remark. Then they
dumped the barrel over and began to roll it
down the long aisle. firing of their amuse-
menr the two girls gave the barrel part
u kick, sending it with crash against the
wall.
Now get out yourself Miss lppish, Z"
exclaimed one.
Not sound came from the barrel
Then the girls became alarmed. Several
pulled Miss Luther out. She was uncon-
scious. Her head was covered with bruises
and she scarcely breathed. A carriage was
sent for and she was taken home.
DR. Graves was summoned, and, after an
hours work, restored the girl to conscious
ness.
DIR. Graves said the girls mind bad beer
affected. and for time it seemed doubtful
whether she would recover.
Yesterday she became rational for
time. but her mind soon wandered again.
The Burns girl was discharged by Super
tendent brcott, as well as the otner one
who took part in the affair.
