BERLIN, December 16.-Chancelor Caprivi,
in speech in the reichstag, said that he
only opposed the method of agitation re-
sorted to by the farmers alliance. and as
serted that it was rot conservative to appeal
to the majorities against the authority of the

serted, must seek support from the large
portions of the population and not from any
individual party, and it would take support
where it could find it. The remark by Chan
cellor Won Caprivi to the effect that the dep
uties should not be influenced by the masses
caused decided sensation.
Abiding to the currency, the chancellor
said that it was impossible to take any step
in that direction unless England joined in it..
