FRIDAY.
Chancellor Won Caprivi's army bill
was rejected IN the German Reich
stag. The emperor Immediately dis
solved the Relchstag, which then adj
journed. The centre party has re-
Gently developed remarkable republi-
can tendencies and Won Caprivi ac-
cused them in his speeches Of being
instigated by the pope, who, it is
claimed now, favors republicanism
rather than monarchy. The election
Of q new Relchstag must take place
within sixty days, and it looks now
very much like the centrists would
win. So be it. One by one the de-
caying institutions Of Imperialism
topple and fall to the earth. ..,.

ton in the province of Rio Grande
do Sui, Brazil, eliminated today in a
terrific battle lasting six hours. Six
thousand insurgents attacked four
thousand government troops. Both
sides fought with desperation charac-
teristic Of men who knew the issue
this battle would probably settle
the fate of the revolution. The bat

occasion fire broke out in the ruins
