The I'reissinnige and Bismarckian pavers pretend to believo that the chancellor’s position s untenable. Every day the opoosition produces a fresh rumor as to who his successor will be nominee of the anti-Caprivi ex-Minister von Putkawer, named becauso (he opposition could associatcd him with a current rumor that Bmperor William intended to rowurn to a strong renctionist policy it the army bill should be aefeated. The Jmperor felt the report 1o be offensive and caused an official denial of it to be made in the Reichsanziger. It stated that Herr von Putkamer has not for some time even becn reccived by his majesty. The fact is that tho chancellor's position has becomo streagthened by tho open rdhension of sowe of the party leaders, and the private adhension of others, Dr. Bubl, a national liberal, has won the chancellor’s thanks by promising that his party will support eli the military demands necessary for the safety of the empire. ‘The Reichsanziger took Dr. Buhl's statement as committing the national liberals to the sup- port of the army bill. Next Herr Koseie!ski, in the name of the Polish group, announcea that they would vote to grant anything that would contribute to unite and strengthen Germany. ‘With regard to the ceuter party, it is no longer a secret that a majority of the mem- bers of the group, resenting the vatican’s pro-F'rench policy, are treating the cierical attempts to influenco the party to defeat the government's schome of army reorganization as a bostile intrigue agamst German unity. So marked 18 the feeling of many ceutrists against the interference of the vatiean, which is attributed to the pope’s hostility to the tripls alliance, that certein Cath- olic bishops advised Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of state, that a revolt of the party against the clerical leaders was im- mineut if the interference was persistea in. The vatican has, conscquently, assented to leaving the center party to follow whatever Tourse it pleases. This implies a temporary Dlit 10 the party. Thirty-four of the south- ern members of the center will vote with tho opposition, and the seventy-six others with tho government. Thus reinforced, tho de- feat. of the bill seems impossiolo. The meusure is expeeted to pass its first reading December 9. As the Christmas recess bo- gins on the 161, the bill will unt go to tho committeo stage until after New Yeat's day.

It was shortly seen, however, that the water- tight bulkheads were answering the purpose for which they wero constructed, and that, though the water was pouring into the compartment beneath the second cubln, very little was gotting into the other compart- ments. With only oue compartment filled, the steamer lost little of her huoyahey, and when it was stated by the officers that all danger of sinking was past tho passengers became calin and joked with each other about the fears thoy had so shortly enter- tained, When the acciaent occurred the Spree was about 100 miles from Queenstown.

NEWS FROM THE VATICAN, Tope Leo Makes an Appoint Cuuses Much Comment, o0 1892 by the New York Associated Press.) Dee. 3.—Diplomatic and ecclesiasti- cal circles variously comtment on the appoint- mert of Curdinal Seratino Vunnutelli as archbishop of Bologna, The uppointment was a surprise to everybody, It is under- stood that the pope took this unexpected de- cision because Cardinul Serafino was con- sidered as chief of the opposition—Roman, french, Austrian and German—against the vepublican policy cf the holy fatner; was tho Interprater of tho Austriun policy as regards Italy, and even as the candidate favored by the emperor of Austria for tho succession to the tiara. ‘Tho pope has wished by a decisive act to show that be will never be turnedaside from the path he bas selected to pursue. The eventisa telumph for Cardinal Rampoila and Cardinal Ledochowski, and also for Fruoce and Russia, The vomination has peculiar importance iu relation 1o the coming couclave, as through it the candidate of Emperor [rancis Joseph and of the Euro- pean courts finus bimself placed at some aistance from Rome . HIs brother, the Cardi- nul Binensco Vuunutelli, formerly nuncio at Lisbon, will ve appoiuted prefect of tae con- gregation of tue council, & technical post for an old diplomatist. It seems that the pope bas thus desired to complete the signiticance of Cardinal Serafino’s promotion . It is suid on good authority that the pope has not resporded to the approaches of cer. tain powers, who desired to submit to his ar- bitration international questions and who bove asked him totry aud bring about an understanding between France and Ger- many, with 8 view to an Europesa alliance agaiust Russia, Concessions and compeusation for the pope iu Rome and for Fravce on her frontier were suggested. It is also said that Kngland was no strauger to these advauces, but the pope bias renounced dealing with such ques tious, chiefly because he found that in deal- ing with strongly rival interests, it would be impossiblo Lo gol them to resign themselves to Wis veraict. On tue othier haud the holy fataer has just tuken steps toward rendering closer the Russo- Irench alllance, T'here has not only been an exchange of views, but a protocol has been propared on the subject, It is understood tnat the Graod Duke Sergius and the French ambassador here have not boen strangers to this on accouut of the intimacy between F'rauce and Russia. - Cleveland Met with Poor Succes Exyoug, Va, Dec. 8. —Toe ducking party today reported but meages results, The waves were 100 calm and the b ds settled on the water, thus reducing the chances for Clevelund will leave ("morrow as beretofore sunounced. nt Which OMAHA, SUNDAY N ING, DECEMBER 4. 1 HER GUNS NO GOOD | Germany's Troops Armed With Riflss That Are Worse Than Worthless, DISCLOSURES AT THE AHLWARDT TRIAL | Stolen Governmnt Docnments Produced and Read in Coutt in S:cret Session PROFOUND SENSATION CAUSED THEREBY Berlin Greatly Shocked by the £candal and the Populace is I xcitede IN AN AMAZINGLY AWKWARD SITUATION Almost the Entire Army Supplied With the Defective Arms—Reports of Colonels an the Loewe Rifles Support the Opposition. [Copyrighted 192 by Jamos Gordoa Beanatt) Brruiy, Dee. 8,—|New York Herald Cavle—Special to Tus Bee, |—Prussia today fouud its Panama scandal in the Moabit crimical court, when, after haviog beeu taunted for lack of veracity, Rector Ahlwarat produced five ofiicial documents, which proved to bo reports made by colonels to their generals,adverso to the Lo3we guns. Those must have boen stolen, probabiy by some ofticer, who, if found out, is liavle to ten years panal servitude, A greater scandal, a episode, cannot have occurred, 1 huve nover scen greater consternation than that which struck the Hrge gatiering of deeply interested persous. The army more sensational ofticers, who were present in large numbers, muny of high rank, were simply aghast. fivst Jooked incredulous, but when the judge had examined the documents and pro nouncea them authentic their dismay koow no bounds. In a minute or two the news reachel the crowd 1u the corridor, and thence spread to the street and ali over the city. People of all ranks rushed to the court to find out if such a serious scandal could possibiy bo true. Telegraphic messages were at once sent to the emperor, who is shooting in Si ony, to aperise him of the startiing develop- ments aud the blow which had fallen on the army. Dramatic in a High Degreo, The scene in court was highly dramatie Ahlwardt had just expressed his ragret that the army officers on their oaths should bave been mistaken In saying no oficial reports adverse to the Loswe guns had been made. ““Who are you,” thundered the judge. “‘who dars totalk thus of the oficers who have taken the oath to tell the truth “Here are my proofs,” replied Ahlwardt, taking the papers from his pockets and hold- g them un. The public prosecutor should be reag at onc Anlwardt ina iow clear voice said: “I huve been accused of being unpatriotic with- out reason. The documents I hold, if read publicly, would be damaging to my country, Therefore I ask tho court to ve cleared and tho reading to be private. 1f the president will glance over them, I am counfident he will agree with me,” Amid dead silence the papers were handea to the president. As he read them his face became very serious, finally he said: Too Important “The papers la portant to the in open court,” ‘I'nc room wes then oleared and the court remaiuca in camera two hours, Tho documents show that out of 960 Loewe guus used at Wessel 59) were unscrviceable, twenty of the chambers burst and teu broke entirely. Thefa wera thrao general oficers in the court, representing the minister of war, who at once sent news to War Minister Kalten- born, Cuief of Staff Schliffen and Couunt von Caprivi. The revelations hit Loewe hard and his director, Colonel Kuehne, really seemed quite overcoms at the unexpected blow. Private Consumers Condemn the Guns, Avother witness, a Humburg merchant, said tho minister of foreign atfairs had sent a consignment of Loewe guns to Kast Africa. Thke witness had just received a letter from the loader of the expedition, saying: Send at onc> more guns, but notthe Loewe, They treak liko glass.” Loewe protested the case was not proved. Gun Machaunic Kramer, who had worked in rhe lLoewe fartory, said he could if the court wished, point out tho defects in tho moael gun, Iying on the table, aua said 4,000 out of 5,000 of te guns were defective, and that Colonel Kuehne techuically knew it. 'The Dresden 12ditor Gioes testifiea that Alhwardt made no money out of the Loewe brochure. Also that 146 witnesses, officers and soldiors from Saxony, would come to testify to the worthlessness ef the guns. It must be remembered there are 42 Loewe guas in the German army, This is terribly awkward for the goverament, which 15 bound Dy uecessity to do everything 1o Bush up the scandal, Caprivi certainly has bad no luck av the trial during the iast three days.

At the ainuer table he is bright and animated, tulks cheorfully and eats well. Afterwards hic often takes o nap.

The Anlwardt trial will raise doubts in the mind of a large section of the German na- tion, not particularly as regards the Loewe guns, but about all guns manufactured the army. Ahlwardt himself is nobody. Indeed, heis an unsympathetie ebaracter, but the enormous machinery of the law has been brought to bear against him, The fact that tho electors believe in him and his cause, and will undoubtedly return him by an enormous majority tomorrow makos everybody thought- ful, Puttkamer's Pull, Tho kaser and the governor of Pomeranta, Bavon Von Puttkamer, have had an inter- view, a fact which hus given rise to all sorts of revorts, There is no political significance 1 it, however, nor does it mean the immedi- até overthrow of Caprivi. Puttkamer is a possible candidute at aoy moment for a lizh munisterial positicn. He is much liked by the emperor, who owes him much for past service which the kaiser has not for- gotten. 1 refer to the services rendered dur- ing the briet nod dritical reign of Emperor Frederick, The Kaiser has several times said 10 his most intimate followers: “Putt- kamer bin yeh noch et was schuldig.” Cer- tainly the cmperor shews every aesire to ex- press his appreciation’of so devoted a friend, who stands as bright in the conmserv- ative party os at court. Putt- kamer’s audience lasted no less than three tours, a fact that cast dismay into the Caprivian camp. What transpired during those three bours is merely a matter of rumor. One thing is cortain, It was ove of thie emperor’s honest efforts to arrive ut the truth of the political situation from an un- biased, independent mind. **Shall 1 ever getat the truth’ is the con- stant remark of the kawser. He' trics very hard, but tho truth is hard to finda with the men who surround him. The Cologne Volkszeitung, in the courso of u ridiculous, artiole, and you may know that the press of this. country seems enor- mously interested ip the Herald jnst now, suys that in the daye of yore Bleichroeder used to appointtha’Herald correspondents at Berlin. The absurdity of the idea would seem to need no comment, but the Hep- zeiger Neue Deutsche Zeitung courteously takes up the cudgel in behalf of the Horald, and gives the Cologno puper and others of 1ts kind such a slashing and culting article as has rarely been seen in any newspaper. Discussing Drelbund Afwirs, In my provious letter I mentioned the anxiety felt in the highest circles here at the lack of enthusiasm shown by Austria and Italy towara excessive military prepara- tions. Now a Hamburg paper takes up tho subject, ana says that the chancellor is in- different to the support of Italy, and that he will soon make a communication to that effect in the Reichstag. 1have been giving the question some at tontion, and the result of my inquiry is that this way of putting it is false. privi will in all probavility defend the financial condi- tion of Italy and explain the military position, which does = not satisfy kim in the least. In the meaniimo the Reichan- zoiger, to begin with, will reproduce all articles of the foreigu press, above all those of Austria und England, which praise the military bill, but it will not notice, at the samo time, tho fact that Austria herself is not spending the millions she is praising Germany for doing, nor the proverbial love which England has of lookiag on sad ap- plauding when she sees anotber country financially coming to destruction, -— CHILI FAVORS FREE SPEECH, Prostdent Montt Declares thint Butmacedists _Must e T d Lenlently. 47 Can v Prar, Varranraiso, Chill (via Galveston, Tex.), Dec. 8.—|By Mexican Cablo to the Now York Herald—Special to Tue Bee.|—President Moutt has said in an interview in reference to the public feeling hat the government should be lenient to the Balmacedists, *‘Our ideas are not to stop or 0 any way hinder public meetings or to cur- tail the freedom of speech.

Pamis, Dee. 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Spocial to Tur Bee.]—The daily dispatehes keep you posted on the increasing scaudais in the Panama canal affair, but there is onotgnored which is of equal im- portance. This is the increase of anti- Semitism in Eurovo. We have three fagts this weelk prouing that Panama canal scandal is the work of Mr. Drumont, the author of “*La rancay Juive,” the managing editor of L Libro Parole, and the inventor of anti-Samitism in r'rance. He is aidea by the Marquisda Mores, Ile keay up his work, striking furiously evorywhere itis possible. He hotds that the Bank of France 1s a Hebrew insutution, aund that is why heis so bitter against M. do Lesseps bringing in the Hebrew banker to do busi- ness with him, “The opinion of the majority of people is that enough scandalous fortunes have been raised upon the ruins of the savings of the public. It1s certain that the anti-semite cause is making progress in France, Agltation in Germany and Austria. In Germany the same phenomenon is seen. In a rural district the peasants have electod this week as deputy Rector Ahlwordt, an anti-semite of so violeal a type that he has been many times convicted for defawation. Rector Ahlwordt is the author of the “Brochux Fusils Jaifs,” in which he accused the Prussian ministry of war of furmishiog the army with defective rifles. ‘The poasaats clected bim becauss thoy saw in him a pr tector against the way 1n which Jews ca- ploit the country . Io Austria, the anti-Semite doputies pro- voke violent sceues in Pariiamont. They speak without any right to do so of the Pan- ama affair, bringing about ministerial inter- vontion and causing almost a crisls. The same scenes are witnessed in the municipal council of Vienna, where the numerous anti- Semites protest against the ‘‘scandalous Jowish fortunes” and the veritable oppres- sion by the Jewish banks of commerce and industry. Austria will be tho first country where the anti-Semitism crisis will become p matter of fact. When the chief laws of a country produce the same phenomena, there ought to bo the same causes. Liko causes produce like effects. It is curious “to know which is which. Recourse of Those Who Fail. Anti-Semtism is losing tho exclusively re- ligious character it nad at first. It is be- coming a social protest against wealth and speculation. It has not yet pervaded th bulk of the deputation, but it is the appe aco of thoso who have failed in life, who suffer in spite of what they have beeu taught, ana who are aware of the real ch acter of the social fabric. People who have 1o prejudices demand tho application of ex treme measures. The go back to history for cxtremo measures to be mado applicabie to modern times. Here you have overywhero the same desirs for vengeance. The .#ituation in I'rance abovo all is very serious, for greatec liberty permits of greater license, and the French temperawment renders possible all kinds of crimes. The ministerial crisis will come to an end and & presidential crisis will be avoided, but a social orisis is inevitable. Darkest Days in France, We are already 1 open revolution, not with the rifle, as in 1571, because nobody has boen guillotined, as in former times: for executions aro repugnant to our eivilization, but still we are in the throes of a revoiutioa.

Paws, Dee, 3, —The present crisis is not merely political, but itis ounc in which a great coustitutional question is at stake. ‘The Panama canal investigating committec hias shown & disposition to overstep its con stitutional rights. Jts comand that the doc uments 10 be used in the judicinl proceedings be handed over to it, is regarded as a direct attack upon the most conservative and iu- siolable institution of the judicial power. M. do Beaurcpawe's refusal to give th2m up is approved by all who have not lost their heads over tho Panama canal affair, Had M. Brisson, as head of the committee of investigation, been successful in formi a cabinet, his success would have been int proted as an accevtanco by the deputies of the committees illegal policy, the result of whizen it would have been impossiblo to fore see. 'I'no geueral apprehension has ov magnified the pretention of tho committe into an atterpt of establishing itself into sort of committee of public safety with des- potic powers. Whether these fears are jus tifiuble or not, certain it is tuat M, Brisson’s success would have been followed by u s gle betw thorities. M. de Beaureapire is rosoiute in his deter- mination not to yield up the documents, He is proparod to resign his position as public prosecutor 1if the surrender of the documcents is wnsisted upon. M. Brissou’s ovenly avewed intention of displacing M. de Froyciret and M. Burdeau, in the face of popular opposition, also greatly contributed to his failure, which was hailed with general satisfaction, M. Cassimire Perier’s failure to form o cabinet was due to his inability to obtain the support of the advanced ropublicans, whioh wus necessary, as heaimed to form # ministry of the bost men of all partios, ava further, to the insuperable dificulty of finding a suitable man to tako the portfolio of ministry of justice. His proposed cubi- net, it was circulated this moruing, was comprised of men possessing public e fidonce, soveral from M, Loubet's wminist whom M. Brisson bad ignored. M. Rivot refuscd, however, to accept tho ministry of justice which M. Pericr nad i tonded for him, Several other proposed members also proved unwilling to accept the vositions assigned to them. M. Perier recognizing the hopelessness of his task in viow of these rofusals, saw Pr dent Caroot this afternoon and aunouuced bis inability to form a cabinot, Thenows of M. Perier’s failuro was re- celved with goneral regret, 1ven his oppon- onts admitted his integrity, whilo conserva- tives haa procecded 10 support his udmins- tration, his policy on economic questions being identical with theirs ana favoring the Molin tariff. Whea M. Cassimire Porier's withurawal vecame known the opinioa was general that M. de Freycinot would be asked to form a issolution winistry, whicn, 1t is expeoted, would be the present cabinet remodeled with M.

Deeply Interested in Gould, I"ar groater intorost was oxcited by the doath of Jay Gsuld, whose fame as a sort of con of stock markots has spread among il classes of Iaglish poovle. They never tired hearing navvatives of men who have rvisen from poverty and obscurity to power and wealth, and stories of this kind are onca more suomitted to them by the entir: Bog~ lish press. What effect Gould’s doath will have upon the vrice of stocks must depend entirely upen tho courso of oveuts in the United Staces. Here, taken alone, it would be comparatively shght. The Daily News makes the surprising as- sertion that a poor farmer, such as was Jay Gould’s father, is looked upon in America as tho mennest of whites.
