THE SKIES CLEARING.
The European War Cloud Seems 10
Be Taking Vacation.
GERMANY BOWS TO RUSSIA AND
FRANCE is LEFT OUT.

The Russian Ambassador in Berlin Makes
A Speech-His Remarks Indicate that
the Great Naval Show at Toulon Didn't
Mean as Much as the Excitable French
Imagined-Ultra Conservatives Say that
William Is Toadying to the Gar.
Berlin, February IA banquet at the
Russian mbassy last evening is bound
to provide food for reflection in all the
capitals of the continent Count Schou-
valoff, Russian Ambassador to Ger
many, took advantage of the occasion
to speak warmly of the commercial en-
tente just accomplished and to add few
words pointing to further understand
ing between Russia and Germany in the
interest of the peace of Europe.
His speech was a blow to France, de-
feating all the expectations aroused in
Paris by the naval demonstration of the
Rousians at Toulon last fall. An
analysis of the treaty with Russia shows
that the chancellor got the best terms
possible. He conceded only the tariff
rates offered by Russia in June, 1891.
prior to the tariff war. The Czar leaves
the ratification of the treaty open for
year. Attached to the treaty is curious
stipulation that Prussia shall introduce
in the Landtag a bill proposing mon
opoly in the production of explosives and
magnesium and potassium salts. The
federal council got draft of the treaty
last Thursday. 1t will be impossible for
the Reichstag to discuss it Immediately.
With the treaty, Caprivi presented pro-
posal to abolish the so-called identity
certificates concerning the origin of
wheat shipments. Conservative news
papers say that Count Bottle Zu Eulen-
burg, Prussian premier, told the federal
council that the Conservatives. having
found opposition useless, ha reed to
accept as whole the policy of the
Emperor and Chancellor. The Kreuz
Zeitung, the organ of the -Conserva-
tiveS, continues to attack the Russian
treaty. Yesterday it said: . We still hope
the government will abandon this attl-
tude of bowling before Russia. 1t is
taking a new and deplorable position for
Germany to suppose that the Empire
must submit to the Czar's behesGs to
as necessary, the country is justified in
asking why we made the last great in
crease of the army. if we are to sur
render at once to the menace of a neigh
boring power against whom the increase
was openly directed, it only remains to
return the annexed provinces to France
and then peace will be assured. An
economic policy, based ON trade interests,
must soon arrive atjthat point reached In
England, whose motto is: Peace at any
price.

Holcomh knocks Out Nallx.

One OF the best prize fights that has taken
place recently in this vicinity occurred last
night at StuSner's Road-house, between
Charles Holcomb and Billy Nally, both Of this
city, Holcomb gained the decision In ths
twelfth round by knocking Nally completely
out.
Tho fight was very even up to the fourth
round. when Holcombs superior condition
commenced to tell. and it was then only a
question of how long Nally would last.
The latter put up very game
fight, but his poor condition was against
him and what blows he did land on Holcomb
lacked speed and force. Neither OF the men
displayed much science, but Holcomb had a
very dangerous left, which finally put Nally
out by n swinging blow on the point Of the
chin. In the preliminary bouts of the even
ing between Brantley and Taylor. ..Brantley got
the decision on the second round. In that be-
tween Joe Burnett and Redman, the latter
was knocked out In the second round, and in

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Office Site, Ford Victims. and
War Department Clerks.

Considerable surprise was expressed at the
Capitol Yesterday when the sundry civil bill
was reported, and among the list OF items
added by the Senate committee appeared an
appropriation OF $3.50. 900 for the purchase for
a Government Printing Office of the famous
..3Iahone lot" over which there has been SO
much lobbying.
Accom- panying this was an additional ap-
preparation for SIC, 900 for plans for the build
ing. The sum of s25O,O0 was appropriated
for Government Printing House, and not
used, in 1890. 1t is not at all likely that the
House will consent to this amendment in con-
ference, for the enemies of the Malone lot
in that body are numerous and bitter.
As reported the bill shows an increase OF
81. 53s, ,30l over the House bill, making the ag-
gregsre s35. .O61 ,6s5. The principal increases
were the following:

beacons. etc.. S33l. .l54; Coast and Geodetic
Survey, S39,5s0; Fish Commission, $500
Columbian Exposition, s72 500; assistant Gus
todians and janitors, $4,000; enforcement of
alien contract labor laws. $4,000; Ford's
Theater disaster, payments to survivors of the
dead. Sl05,000; quarantine service, S45. 600;
new roof on Pension building s2s. .56O; pur-
chase of electric light for Senate wing of
Capitol, $4,000; Pacific Railroad suits,
$4,000; payment of discharged employees of
the Senate. Sl1 900: cotton States and inter-
national exposition, S20e, 900; Government
Printing 0flce, Ss5.O00.
Other important Senate amendments are:
Arequirement that the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall hereafter submit to Congress est
mates in detail for all government employees
required in connection with the superinteld-
ence and construction Of all public buildings;
providing Tor the reimbursement of France
and OF French exhibitors at the Worlds Fair
for losses sustained by fire last January, for
which $4,000 is Appropriated; author
izing the President to express the ap-
probation of the United States
TO countries which participated in
the fair; changing the head-money fee col
lected from immigrants from so cents to 81.
Granting pay for a month for the discharged
employees of the War Department; making
permanent the annual appropriation OF $780,
600 for ordnance and ordnance stores for the
militia OF the various States.
Among other items of local interest are in
crease for Baltimore light and and fog signal,
S60. 900; for Lower Cedar Point light on the
Potomac, increase Of $4,000.
