NEW FREEDMAN's HOSPITAL.
An Emergency Fund Immediately
Needed or Work Will Stop.

Unless Congress appropriates immediate
ly an emergency fund of s16,993, or there
about, asked for by the Secretary of the
Interior, the work the new $47S,O00
Freedmen's Hospital in this city will of
necessity cease within a few weeks and
there will be grave danger of deterioration
of work already completed. This state
ment was made by an official of the Inter-
ior Department this morning.
The original appropriation for this build
ing, which is nearing the final stages of
construction, was $500, GEO. Secretary Hitch
cock, in his annual report just published,
says that $17S644 will be necessary to COM
plete and equip it. The first amount is
practically exhausted, and since, by an act
of Congress, no government official may
contract for work in excess of the appro-
priation, the force of laborers on the build
ing may soon have to be directed to stop
operations.
Before the work of finishing the interior
of the big building go on there must
also be installed heating plant, for which
there is no money. Neither is there any
money to pay for watchmen to see that the
present structure is not tempered with.
In order to meet this crying need Congress
has just been asked by Mr.. Hitchcock to
appropriate and make Immediately avail
able the sum of $16, 1880. It's will carry
the work along through the cold season
and until the remainder of the amount
necessary to complete the building is made
available

TAKES A FIRM STAND
Emperor William Insists on Ap-
preparation for Africa.
MAY DISSOLVE REIcHsTAG
Has Authorized Chancellor Won Bue-
low to Act. -
CONFERENCE WITH LEADERS
Present Army in Southwest Colony
Must Be Maintained in Order for
Germany to Retain Possession.
CONFERENCE WITH LEADERS

BERLIN, December 12-Emperor VIII
liam has authorized Chancellor Won Bue-
low to dissolve the reichstag and order new
elections If the supplementary appropria-
tons asked for by the government are not
granted by the house.
The question of the reichstag appcopriat-
ing enough money to keep the present
army in German southwest Africa in the
field is, according to the conviction of the
government equivalent to the question
whether the colony shall be given up or
retained. An appeal to the country, If
necessary, will be made on that issue, the
governments position being that If the
present garrison of German southwest At
RIGA is reduced from $4,000 to $500 men, as
the center party and the extreme left con-
tend should be done, the insurgent natives
will obtain possession of the colony.
Confers With Leaders.
The chancellor during the day conferred
with the various party leaders and told
them the government was unable to accept
the action of the appropriations committee,
which is composed of the leaders of all the
parliamentary groups, in rejecting yester-
dayLthe supplementary budget of over
81 100000 introduced November 16, in order
to meet the expenses of the war in German
Southwest Africa.
Herr SPAIN, one of the center party
leaders, possibly in consequence of the
chancellor's communications, said at to-
days meeting of the appropriations COM
mittee that his party was willing to grant
the money called for in the second sup
Elementary budget for German Southwest
Africa introduced November "a (Which In
cluded So, $50, 900 as the first installment for
the construction of the railroad from
Kukub to Keetmanshoop), as in the opinion
of experts the commercial prosperity OF
the colony. depended upon it.
Government Not Satisfied.
Herr Spahns statement is not regarded
as satisfactory. to the government. and it
is considered probable that the reichstag
tomorrow, in committee of the whole. will
take up the question, and. it is expected.
the chancellor will announce the govern
ments decision.
The form for the dissolution of the reichs-
tag is as follows:
The chancellor recommends the step to
the emperor and If he assents the federal
council authorizes the issuing of a decree,
fixing the date of the new elections, which
must be within sixty days after the d1sso-
luton of parliament The new parliament
must reassemble within ninety days.
The reichstag today continued the dis
cussion Of the Interpolation of the govern
ment on the subject of the high price Of
meat. The ministerial seats, with the ex-
ception of those of the ministers of finance
and agriculture, were empty.
The possibilities of an immediate disso-
luton of parliament were animatedly dis
cussed in the Hobbies.

MAY TAKE TWO DAYS.
Considering Legislative Bill Under
Five-minute Rule.

The House today began the reading of the
legislative, executive and judicial bill. 1t
is expected that the consideration of this
measure under the fve-minute rule will
take two days at least.
The legislative bill will be followed by
an urgent deficiency bill, the main items
of which carry appropriations of $3.50, 600 for
the Department of Agriculture, to enforce
the pure food law, and $4,000 for the War
Department, covering the transportation Of
officers to and from Cuba, with the under
standing that the republic of Cuba shall
reimburse the United States.
Included in the $50, 600 item is an appro-
priation to pay travelling expenses of army
officers visiting militia camps.
The only question in regard to travelling
expenses between this country and Cuba is
whether the Secretary of War is authorized
to receive the reimbursement from the re-
public of Cuba, without Congressional au-
thority.

Car Had Almost Struck Woman and
Child.

PITTSBURG, Pa, December 12.-Nervous
shock caused by his car almost striking a
woman and child is the cause Of the death
of Harry c. Sutton, a motorman on the

On Thanksgiving day Sutton's car was
running rapidly through Finleyville, near
Monongahela, when a woman and child
started to cross the track Sutton stopped

Socialism a Menace.
Although for twenty-fi years past the
gradual uprise of socialism In France has
been a constantly growing menace to the
church as an institution of the state and

regulating public assemblies-was passed
which was later construed to hamper the
meetings & religious congregations. 1t Y 5
not until 1901 that the first decisive legis-
fative blow was struck at the bond that
bound the church to the government
This was the Associations Act of Wal
eck-Rousseau, which was prompted it

merous conspiracies against the republic
TO which the militant orders of the churcn,
such as the Assumptionists and Jesuits.
were alleged to have contributed largely
In the shape of funds. The Associations
Act required the heads of all religious
orders to report TO the government the
covenants of the association, secret or
otherwise the place OF meeting, the
names of all the members. etc. enalty
for failure to comply was dissolution of the
order and confiscation of the property
which was to be distributed half of il
among the donors, the rest to pension
fund for superannuated workingmen. Inc
pope instructed the religious orders not to
submit to the government their ancient
rules and constitutions.
The result was the virtual extinction OF
the great orders of the church. Tie AS
sumptionists. the Jesuits, the Passionists
an. some of the minor orders placed their
property outside the Jurisdiction of France
The Jesuits sent their novices to Holland
and themselves emigrated to other coun-
tries. The Carmelte, Oblate and Benedic-
tine nuns also took refuge abroad The
Sisters of ST. Vincent de Paul and some
other female orders submitted to the new
law and remained in France. Out of 16, 400
