All Eurepe Profoundly Impressed by the Utterances in the Reichstag. Special Cable dispatch to Tux EVENING STAR Loxpox, Jan. 12.—The speeches of Bismarck and Von Moltke were awalted with intense interest and have produced a deep impression througout Europe. The outcome certainly will be the pass- age of the army bili by this, or If not, as Bismarck plainly said, by a new reichstag. The Times’ cor- respondent describes Bismarck’s speech as deliv- ered with a stammering sort of caution when re- ferring to Germany's relations with Russia, and With prompt, rapid utterance when dealing with France, The general tone of the speech and his ‘contempt for the Bulgarian question and the bluns- ness of his threats to the reichstag were charac- teristic, The alarmist nature of the speech 1s shown by one sentence: “In comparison with the ‘War of 1890, or know not what other year, the ‘War of 1870 would be as mere child's pley in its effect on France,” It is a striking coincidence that simultaneously with Bistnarck’s speech the French vernment announce an increase in the army eS mates. The governinent is prepared to. modity the budget—reducing the expenditures on Public Works, for instance, by fifteen militon francs—and have resolved to inérease the army expendiinre by eighty-six milion francs, the increased army estimates to be met by a new loan, The English Papers all ask this morning how long, with Ger- many asklng tor more men and France more money, peace fs likely to be preserved, HISSING “GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.” Extraordinary Scene at the Liberal Radical Meeting in London Last Night.
