BERLIN, July 8.-The speeches made for
and against the army bill in the reichstag
yesterday and To-day were of q purely par.
.tisan character indicating nothing Of the
underourrents which may ultimately guide
the votes of the several parties. Each
speaker indicated known programme and
avoided any reference to compromise. The
obv ous determination of largo number
of members to be heard on the bill implies
that the discussion will Inst until the end
Of next week. Wednesday next 10 the day
for private nenbers' motions. Tho CON-
trists will then raise tho question OF the re-
admission OF the jesuits into Germany.
The FreisinniQe papels persist in stating
that the governments support Of or re-
framing from opposing the ultra -montable
proposal will be the price paid the centrists
for their support OF ths bill. Both the
centrist leaders and the government adhsr-
| ents deny that there 10 compact between
the chancellor and the oentfiats. In
the Hobbies to-day IL was not the ies-
! nit but the taxation question upon which
centrists declared the arrangement for their
support was possible. While Herr Groeber
proclaimed that there would be no com, ro-
mise In the house. members Of the Lieber
wing Of the party stated in the lobby that
II the ohsnceilor pledged the government to
cover ths increase in expenditures by a
progressive imperial tax on incomes over
$4,000 marks the centrists would vote for
the bill. Privately they are angling for q
deal which is likely to be arranged. giving
the government large majosity. DR..
Lieber means to insist that the bill 90 to

negotiations to be carried on.

PARIS, July 8.-Hon. Z. j. Phelps, OF
counsel for the United States, finished the
closing address before the Bsrine Sea TIL
bunai Of arbitration to-day. He opposed
tho British proposal to establish twenty
mile zone within which sealing should bs
prohibited. basing his obie ,tion on tho In
efficiency Of the proposal and upon the i'm
possibility Of setting the limits Of the zone
effectnally. Proceeding TO compare the
present British proposals with those made
by Lord Salisbury. he was interrupted by
Sir Charles Russell. Of counsel for Great
Britain. who said Lord Salisbury denied
having made the proposals referred to.
Mr.. Phelps replied by reading Lord Sails
bury's dispatches. He showed that Lord
Salisbury only recsdsd aftor Canada inter
rosed. Mr.. Phelps then resumed his aFRu-
ment in support Of the American prohibi-
tion Of pelaaic sealing over the entire route
followed BY tho seals in migration, whioh
route extended - far % San Francisco. II
tho arbitrators. he said. did not recognize
that the United States had property rights
in the herd, concurrent regulations would
consequently be necessary.
At this point = long discussion took place
about dealing with vessels seized. and
whether they should be taken to the near
est American port or TO British port.
When the discussion was finished Mr.
Phelps proceeded. He charged that ths
British desired tho tribunal to protect ths
pelaRio hnnters and didn't aim to secure
the preservation Of the seal herd. Mr.
Phelps closed his plea eloquently. Every
word WAS listened to with the closest At
tsntion by the large audience. America,
he said. stood on the justice Of her case
He dwelt at some length upon the mora
importance of the tribunals decision.
From this decision. he said, the only ap-
peal was TO the Judgment Of civilization
and history.
Baron dc Courcel. president of the tri-
bunal, eomplimented MIR. Phelps upon hi
skill and eloqpenoe in dischsrging the diff.
cult task of closing the eloquent debate
and said: II beg to bs allowed to considel

mopolitan bar As q fair addition to thl
wreath Of honors you have conquered ID

Sir Charles Russell. counsel for g. eat
Britain, expressed gratitude Tor the cour-
tssy of the court. Mr.. Phelps coRourred.

Of more than half the metallic
money Of the world was producing
its legitimate fruits in bringing bankruptcy
and misery upon the people. II was neess-
