Caprivi speaks Out.

Caprivt speaks Out.
BERLIN, February 3B.-The question
of international arbitration came up In
the Reichstag to-day through a ques-
tion asked by DR.. Barth, a leader OF the
Freissigne party, who desired to know
il the government would join the gov
ernments OF Great Britain aud the
United States In an effort to establish
arbitration as the method OF settling
international disputes.
Freiherr Marschall Bierboistern, Min
lister OF foreign affairs, replied that the
imperial government was entirely will
ing to accept arbitration In special cases.
Herr Rebel, the Social Democrat sug-
gested that the future nationality OF
Alsace- Lorraine should be submitted to
international arbitration.
This suggestion brought Chancellor
Won CsprIvi to his feet. The ChaDcel-
lor declared that II that question was
submitted TO arbitration and the arbi-
traitors decided that Germany should
surrender Alsace-Lorraine, the nation
would refuse to acquiesce In the deci-
sion. Rather than give np that coun-
try Germans would prefer 70 shed the
last drop of their blood.
The Chancellor's statement was greet
ed with patriotic cheers.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, February 2s.-With
regard TO certain utterances credited to

garding Corbett to occasion an outburst
To the Associated Press representa-
tive, continuing the conversation,
Sullivan said: $50 far as Corbett
is concerned, have no ILL
will toward him because he
defeated me, for that was my own fault,
and have no complaint to offer. The
only objectson / have TO Corbett Is that
he is not on the 'level.' He is q man
without country, and NO one knows
to-day whether he is an lrishman.
an Englishman or an American.
You know, all the world
knows that have no use
for Mitchell personally, but / venture
the assertion he will be the popular IA
vorte; the money favorite In his COM
ing meeting with Corbett. Corbett
knows this; every man who takes an
interest In ring matters knows II, and
the majority openly, and the remainder
secretly hope 10 see Mitchell win."
"Do you think he can win?"
"Frankly, / do. unless Mitchell's
physical condition 10 worse than un-
derstand 1t to be, do not think so. Be-
cause am talking about Corbltt, don't

Mitchell Is twice as hard .

ell Is game to the core. There is not
suspicion OF yellow streat In his

He Seems Likely to Succeed Mr. Mason rs
Commissioners OF Internal Revenue.
lSpeeia. Telegram to the RegEster.
WASHINGTON, February est looks
very much as il West Virginia would
again obtain the Commissionership OF
Internal Revenue, and as II Mr.. Mason
and Col. Joseph S. Miller would per-
form the same turn about that Mr.
Harrison and Mr.. Cleveland will perform
on the fourth of March.
Col. Miller will have the united sup
port OF the West Virginia delegation In
Congress for his old place OF revenue
commissioner, and IS he gave great sat
isfaction 10 Mr.. Cleveland when ne held
the place before, there Is good ground
for believing he will be reappointed.
There are no other candidates OF prom
inence in the field so far, and this Is an
other favorable sign.
There were not many West Virgin
ians In the city to-day. Mr.. Gilkeson'
who is understood to have the inside
track OF the revenue collectorship was
here and saw Mr.. Wilson. He seemed
very hopeful that he would get the
place. Mr.. Alex Matthews, OF Green
brler, who is largely interested In real
estate in the suburbs of Washington,
was also here, but not on political
business. The chances OF Captain
Harsha, formerly Of West Virginia,
but recently South Dakota, for
the office of Sergeant-at-Arms OF the
Senate, are considered excellent. bis
opponents are Col. Dick Bright, OF In
diana, who held the office under the last
Democratic organization OF the Senate,
and Col. Wall, of Tennessee. Col.
Bright is making strong fight for the
place, but Capt Harsha is now believed
to have the best of it. The caucus OF
Democratic Senators to decide on the
reorganization will be held next Mon
