GERMANY,s ARMY BILL.
Chancellor Capr1vi Gives Reasons WI

chancellor Caprlvi Gives Reasons Why
1t Should Not be Modified.
BERLIN, Jan. 12.-Chancellor Won Cap
rivi last night made an important argu-
ment before the committee of the Reich
stag considering the army bill, giving his
reasons why it should be adopted without
notifications. He declared there was no
enmity between Germany and Russia.
and that probably an understanding ex-
listed between Russia and France regard
ing military arrangements. II was the
possibility of an attack on the triple alli-
ance, in which Germany, as the strongest
member, would have to bear the brunt of
the operations. Experience had shown
that when war was threatened it was best
for Germany to take the offensive. as it
meant short wars, quick victories and
lasting results. To succeed in this kind
of warfare the alliance must have superior
numbers. At present, in fact, the alli-
ance had fewer numbers than their oppo-
nents. The Government, therefore. will
not be able to take the responsibility of
the future defense of the country unless
the armaments are increased. The chief
object OF the alliance with Italy, he said,
was to secure Austria's southern frontier
against France. He did not doubt the
efficiency of the Austrian and Italian
armies, although some weakness in their
organization still existed. To add force
to the arguments he advanced in support
of his measure, the Chancellor read
memoranda made in 1889 by Won Moltke.
in which he compared the military
strength of Germany and France. The
Chancellor laid much stress upon the pas
sage occurring in the memorandum in
which Won Moltke said: 1--WE are able to
ward off an attack from France, other
wise the German Empire could not ex-
ist. Even if we lose the first battle we
have the Rhine defenses, which are not
equaled in the world, besides Metz and
Strasburg. If, however, two of our
neighbors united and attacked us. we
would require the assistance Of another
Power"
The Chancellor's speeclzwas listened to
with closest attention. His presentation
of facts upon which the Government
bases its demands was lucid and forceful,
and will undoubtedly have much effect
upon the report the committee will sub
NIT so the Reichstag.
In the course Of his speech Won Ca
privi made extended reference to the in
ternal condition of France. That coun-
try, he said, was in state Of ferment.
Though there are no statesmen in the
country at the present moment of such
prominence as would be likely to seize
power, the probability of Dictatorship
should not be excluded from German
calculations.
Speaking of the renewal of the triple
alliance upon the expiration of the pres
ent treaties, the Chancellor said a re-
newal, though hoped for, was not alb
solutely certain

Guarded Utterances of the Physicians
Leads to the Belief That His
Condition is Critical.

Speci p D the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Jan. u. - Early this
evening messengers were hastily dis
patched for both Drs. Johnston and
Hyatt. Young Mr.. Blaine was also
quickly summoned. This, taken in con-
nection with evidences of unusual COM
motion about the family residence, led
the newspaper men to believe that Blaine
had suffered serious relapse.
Alter twenty minutes consultation, DR..
Johnston left the house. He stated that
nothing of a positively serious nature has
occurred, and Blaine's condition was
practically unchanged. He said that
whenever any symptom developed that
might be construed by the attendant as
unfavorable, the physicians were imme-
diately notified, but this did not indicate
a change for the worse.
DR.. Hyatt said the trouble was the diff
ticulty the invalid experienced in breath
ding. The attendant supposed the lahore
respiration was caused by an attack of
heart failure, but the heart was found not
to be afflicted. Medicine was admins
tered and the unfavorable symptoms
passed away.
Blaine was weaker tonight than since
the relapse two nights ago. His physi-
clans, Drs. Johnston and Hyatt, called at
$50 O'Clock and remained in the sick
room for forty minutes, during which
time they made thorough examination
of the patient, and gave him some addi-
tional medicines. The guarded utter
ances Of the doctors were especially sig
nificant more from what they failed to
say, than from what they actually said
DR.. Hyatt is still at the house, and it looks
as if one or both of tho doctors would re-
main all night.

by actual settlers or BY the state.
Notwithstanding this. which IL WAS sup

they continue to transmit filings on land

1t thus appears that the settlers in tho
fractional townships mentioned who have

expense and trouble. The law seems very
clear on the subject, and while il no doubt
works a hardship on a number OF bona
ide settlers. there seems no help for them

not claimed under PRIOR rights of settlers
