The subject was not Uniting, and
gladly turned from IL TO tell the story

BILLS TO LIMIT SUFFRAGE.
Many Maryland Democrats Question
Policy of Passing Them.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS. Md, Feb
ruary 5.-The bills which some of the
democrats propose to pass limiting the
suffrage for the purpose of eliminating the
negro vote as largely as possible were In
troduced and will come up for action next
week. There is some opposition to these
measures among the democrats, and they
will not be passed without difficulty. Many
leading democrats are questioning the
policy of limiting the suffrage at the pres
ent time, and Senator Germans program
to have the law changed will meet with
much opposition.
The negro bugaboo has ceased to scare
sensible people in Maryland, and Senator
Germans prestige has been greatly weak
ened by the election of Mr.. Rayner to the
Senate Even Mr.. Germans warmest ad-
mirers here admit that he met with crush
ing defeat yesterday, and this will doubt
less have some effect on the German plan
to disfra nchise the negroes.
The general assembly met today and after
short session adjourned to Monday at
pm.

ONLY GAME OF BLUFF
MIR. CHAMBERLAIN'S REMARK
BEFORE BoER WAR.
Recalled by Leader Of the Opposition
in the British House Of
Parliament.

LONDON, February 5-An interesting III
tie bit of ante-war history was revealed oy
the liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman in the house of commons today, IN
the course of the debate on the amendment
to the address in reply to the speech from
the throne moved yesterday by Mr.
Robson QiberaD. Referring to Joseph
Chamberlain's jibes at the attitude
of the opposition when Mr. Chamber
lain yesterday defended the course OF the
government toward the Transvaal. Sir
Henry said that when Mr.. Chamberlain in
terviewed him June 20, 1890. prior to the
war. and asked him if the opposition would
support the government in sending out TO-
600 troops to Cape Colony, he, Sir Henry,
expressed surprise, whereupon Mr.. Cham
berlain said:
You need not be alarmed. There will be
no fighting. We know those fellows wont
fight We are playing a game of blum.
AS result, Sir Henry added the opposl-
ton refused to relieve the government or
any responsibility regarding the course II
chose to pursue.
The statement of Sir Henry was greeted
with roars of laughter from the opposition
benches.
Mr.. Chamberlain, in reply, said he did not
remember using the word bluff. HIS only
object in approaching Sir Henry was to
make sure that the South African questlon
should not be treated in party spirit, SO
that the Beers might be convinced OF the
earnestness of Great Britain.
British Government Sustained.
