bill Immediately after the formal open-
ing OF tho House was concluded. Chan.
cellor Won Caprivi ascended the tribune and in
q long speech introduced tho amended meas
ure. He stated that the present form OF the
bill represented the minimum that the Gov
eminent would accept In men or money. Tho
Governments demands we're tho lowest pos
sible consistent with the safety OF the empire.
Tho previous bill had been before Parliament
and the country for nine months, and every
body understood what tho Government
wanted. 1t was, therefore. needless to repeat
the arguments that had heretofore been ad-
vanced In favor OF the measure.
In the course OF tho speech the Chancellor
referred to the action OF Russia in increasing
the poace footing OF her army by $4,000 mon
since 1880. and said that she had not yet ex-
hausted her resources Germany. he declared.
