Brnniy, Oct. 22, —[New York Horald Cable special to Tur Bee.|—The anxicty with which the reassembiing of the Reichstag is awaited grows greater ns the days and weeks g0 by. Tho army bill s now before tho Bun- desrath. ‘The detailod scheme is still un- known, but it is sure that mauy changes have been made sinco it was first drafted. In order to prepare the public mind for the great sacrifices involved in the project, tho papers which the chancellor controls ara ra- sorting to tho old tricks of the Bismarckian rogime. Once more we read of danger from the onst and tho west, of France, RRussian tutrigues and the like. The method works less wall, though, than those of old, and these appoals to German patriotism sound hollow. The public dis- balieves in the Cuprivian bogies, and yot 1t vaguely sees that danger threatens from some quarter. The weaknoess of Italy, the supposed lukewarmness of Austria, or botn, may bo tho canse of the persistency which has pressed on us the scheme. The war 15 in the wir. No one believes but the empi may be menaced nono the less the doubt as towhether it can count firmiy on 1ts allies in the event of war. Very 01 Chancollor von Caprivi has shown not a Jittlo skill in his recant tacties. Ho has al- Jowed the (iermans to expect such heavy calls upon their purses and homes that if, when bis bill is mado public, 1t should be founa to demand o great deal s than was supposed, th fecling of comparative relief may loud the Reichstag to endorso it. ‘Tho ouds, however, are that it will nover bo dis- cussed in the Reichstag. Meauwhile, 1 understand that the emperor has taken a nore decided stund against the wo-year service plan, which he aislikos and dreads as much as the most ahle general. We may look forward to surprises of all Kkinds within the next few wocks, ever, I ropeat, to the withdrasval or nostpouement of the bill. Much of course depends upon the action of the centrist party, Herr von Huehue and Herr Lober, two of the most influential men in the group, have had long conferences this waek with the chncellor in order to concili- ato thocentrists, It is smid that the smperor will be careful to avoid giviug too much promiuence to his protestant convictions in the sneech which he may shortly make on he oceasion of the Lutheran celevration at Wurtemberg. But overything is moro or less uncertain. “Phe situation changes with cach day. Bis- marck’s admivers will he glad to know that though much affeeted by the death of his ol friend Lothair Buclier, the veteran states- mantenjoys gooa health, eats well, slecps well aud takes long walks in his retreat at Varrien. r Finesse, GERMAN NEWS N TES, Coming Session of the Relehstiag—Gossip f the Empire by New York Associated ¥ Brniiy, Oct. 22.—Public interost in tho military bill does not show the least sign of abatement; on the contrary it has been in crensed by the secrecy in regard to the pro- visions of tho maasure, thougn a fow details bave been allowed to leak out in order to satisfy tho growing public aemand for w for- mation on the subject.

T'ho chancellor thoroughly remodeled the pro- posals made some time awo by General Verdi du Vernois, which woara impractica- Dle, owing to their exorbitant finaucial de- mands.

An incident has just oceurred that, n soma of its aspects, is ludierous. A band said to have been composed of 200 armed smugglers made a descent upon oue of the caribener stations, situated between Tarifa (Y ne Trafaigar. The caribeners, eight of whom were detailed at this station, bad no warning of the approach of the smugglers and the first they knew of their presence was when they were catled upon to surrender. Tho caribencrs evidently thougut that the odds against them were too greit aud suv- rendered without making any resistance. The smugglers then took the guns away from their prisoners, sacked the station and sot fir to it. With their eight prisoners the smugglers made for the mountains and have not since becn heard from. ‘The comical part of the oceurrence 1s that it was the duty of the caribeners to keep a sharp lookout alonz the coast for smugglors, and had they been performing their duty they could eusiiy have obtained enough sssistance to have enabled them to drive off the smu MONUMENT COLUMBUS, Rome Wil Not Be Outdone in Ionoring the Grent Discovere Rowe, Oct, 2. —In the world-wide move- ment to honor Columbus, the Iternal city is determined not to be outdone, The inter- national committee, recently formed for the purpose of securing the erection of a worthy mouument to the great discoverer, report that they aro receiving influential promises of support which guarantes the success of tho entorprise.

Bl Klayer James Seow Loses His Through an A ent. A small row boat, containing James Scow and Fred Hoy, caught on a snag a few miles up the river last night, upsetting the boat and drowning Scow. Hoy was rescued. The men spent tho afternoon hunting at apoiut above Calhoun on the still water, and started to return abouts o'clock last night in a boat. They had gono buta few miles when they struck the snag, und in a moment both men were struggling in theriver. Scow seemed to become instantly chilled and without any apparent effort to save bimsel, sank in w moment. Ioy succeeded in clingine to the overturned craft, and his cries attracted the attention of a mao named Coon, who put off the shore in a boat and brought him in, half dead with cold and fear.

LESISTED Florlda Ne ratal Tirvsviree, Fla., Oct, 22.—0ne negro was killed and two othors seriously, if not fa- tally wounded in a drunken riot which occurred here today. The citizens of the town are greatly excited, but orderly, and should the negroes persist in thew wild orgies there is likely to be further and mere serious trouble. A large uumber of tough negroes employed on a railroad gathered 1nto town early this evening after receiving their week's wages and soon began to getdrunk. At length they became so boisterous and insulting that women did not dare to £o on the street. I'his was 100 much for the whites, and tho city marshal was directed to arrest the ring- leaders, They refused to submii, and de- clared there were not enouzh white men the town to take them.

[Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennott.] Panis, Oct, ¢ [New Yo Herald Cable Special to Tue Bee) - France has had agitation enough this wook. In the Chamber the ministerial crisis was averted or rather dolayed until the last moment. Tho critioat questions were the troaty of ¢ommerce with Switzerland, the Chambers being averse to provincial armistice, and the Carmaux strike. After a long discussion, the workmen flnally decided to accept arbitration. The government at last has news from Dahomey, where the little French colonv since October 14 has had daily battles with the savages. The Dahomeyans offered an unexpected resistance, The Fronceh govern- ment has proof that the arms the savages hava come from Kurope. It has also proof that Herr Rechter, formerly an oficer in the Georman army, will be King Benhanzin's commander-in-chief. The French stopped before the town of Stecana, always con- sidered by the natives to be impregnable, and commanding the roua to Abomey. Ihere the Irench expect reiuforcements, already on their way from Senegal, Trouble in Other incidents are considerably acitatiog the I'rench public. The situation In Tonquin, which had been carefully con- cealed, 13 worse than before. Chinese regu- ars uro coutinually arriving on the northern fronti Itis feared that wo shall have a new war there in the spring. “ravkly, the :nch colonial policy is bad, It is necessary to effect a comylete reforma- tion, Iurovean politics are quiet. Germany {s absorbed in nher preparation of the new military law thav will bring about a terrible struggle. Austria appears to draw closer to Russia, as the Herald has already pointed out. Italy 1s occupied with ner elections. In spaln the little king, who was=1ll of typhus, is con- vaiveccnt, Lot he is so weak that it is feared he caouct live long. iwissia and Turkey are conciliatory, but it is certain that Iluesiais not disinterested as vegards the eastern ques- tion. Kussia merely waits a propitious mo- ment for action. . L ‘I'here are various siens of continual agi- tation in Servia, Tho domands of Greece against Bulgaria show that Russian diplo- macy is ever ready to profit by the least in- cident. onqun, Getting Out of Egypt, In fine, Bugland, although it appears ins crelible, drewms of settling the Ezyptian question. Mr. Gladstone does not foret the promises be made before he became minister. Naturally, immediate evacuation is impossi- vle, butwith the helpof cortain engagements with France he will now think about fixing a aate for ultimate evacuation. Egypt would then be neutralized, and the solution of the question would be hailed with joy by I'rance.
