! Berlin, July 1.-THE army bill passed
! it's second reading in the reichstag to-
day. All the articles of the bill will
pass their third reading tomorrow.
| During the debate today Count Her
bert Bismarck made a speech that
aroused general interest. He declared
he is satisfied with the adoption OF
the bill, though he was opposed to the
two years service system because the
! socialists, through a short term OF
service, might corrupt the army.
! The third year of service would act
as refOrmatory school.
! This remark caused a great uproa1
which for time the president was
unable to quell Herr Won Kardoff ap
pealed to the house to sustain the
chair against such ScandalouS viola
ton Of the right Of debate. The uproal
/ finally ceased and Caprivi followed
Bismarck. He said the two years sys
tenn could be carried through without
the dangers Count Herbert feared
Count Herbert frequently interrupted
the chancellor who at last appealed
to the president and Count Herbert
| was called to order.
Herr Babel, the leader of the social
democrats, said that in listening tc
! Count Herbert the house had heard
: the father speaking through his son
| The great father had been unable to kill
the social democracy and still less able
was the son to do so. He concluded
! by saying: 1--WE exist You will moi
be able to get rid of us except by
! killing" His remarks caused a most
decided sensation.
Latter in the day Count Herbert
! Bismarck planted himself before the
chancellor and said he desired to cor
rect the statement made by Caprivi
This gave rise to another up1oar and
the president reminded the count that
the article on which he wished to com.
ment had already passed the house
i The count retired to his seat amid
| bowls. Later he apologized to the
chancellor for irritating him by inter
ruptions. Caprivi bowed his accept
ance of the apology.

FALL OF THE BASTILE.
It's Anniversary Celebrated Tamely in
France.

Paris, July 14-Today is the 104th
anniversary of the fall of the bastilc.
The anniversary of this event in
French history is usually celebrated
with much rejoicing, the people gener-
ally observing the day us one of mer-
riment
Today, however, the fetes in Paris
have been marked with tameness and
the usual celebrations are conspicuous
by their absence.
This is due entirely to the feeling
engendered by the recent riots. The
municipal council, upon which hereto
fore much of the expense of the cele-
brations has fallen, has taken no part
in the observance of the anniversary
this year.
The members Of the council, man!
of whom, if not actually known rs
socialists, have leanings in the direc
ton of socialism, are still sulky because
the governments action in regard to
the labor exchange and at the threat
to dissolve their body.
In view of these conflicts the council

others, with the result that the decora-
tons of the city are scarce and hardly
worthy of notice. The night illumina.
ton Of the city has been abandoned.
The anarchists have taken advant-
age of the day to post incendiary pla.
cards on dead walls and other places
about the city. The police are busy
in searching out an destroying these
flaming posters.
A number Of open air balls were held
last night, but there were no disOr-
derby scenes. Anarchists have made
many threats of what they intend to
do today, going so far as to say that
they would destroy the city by fire.
The authorities are prepared fol
whatever overt acts they may attempt
The fire brigade and two regiments OF
troops are held in readiness to fight the
fire or the anarchists themselves.
President Carnot, who has been
away on account of his health, has
returned to the city 1t is customary
on the anniversary of the fall of the
bastile for the president to extend
clemency to certain prisoners. In ac-
cordance with this custom, President
Carnot today pardoned 319 convicts.

Chicago, July 1.-THE worlds fair is
to be closed on Sunday after July L.
The admissions of next Sunday have
already been donated for the relief of
the families Of the tiremen who lost
their lives in the recent fire on the
grounds and but for this fact the fair
would probably be closed next Sunday
The vote of the local directory re-
sending its former action was over
Whellningiy in favor of closing, stand
ing 24 to 4.
When the meeting of directors was
called late this afternoon an address
strongly advocating Sunday closing
and signed by most of the leading Chi
cage clergymen was read. After sew
eral speeches in favor of closing reso-
lutions were adopted setting forth the
fact that the action of opening the fair
was taken in response to urgent appeals
from persons and organizations repre-
Senting a large majority of the public
as well as from stockholders of the cor
poration and also in accord with the
resolution adopted by the city council
of Chicago, etc.
1t is now appearing by actual admis-
sions that the general public does not
by its attendance manifest desire
that the exposition be kept open each
day, and if the exposition is kept open
Sunday it will require an attendance
of more than 10000 laborins men and
women, employees of the exposition and
others; and it further appearing that the
number Of laboring men and women
whose services are required to keep
the exposition open ON Sunday is dis
propOrtionate to the number of visitors,
all previous resolutions of opening Sun
day are rescinded to take effect after.

about today when Coroner McHale
learned from the postmaster at Mar
quette, Mich, that Robt Blomheuber,

identity there is not the slightest trace,
and for whom no one has yet inquired.

voted to hearing testimony showing
! the life and history and establishing the
identity of the men into the cause of
