General Witte the present calibre of the rifie is too The pamphlet is a long oue, and T can only give you a summary of it The general comes to the following con- clusion. That all countries will be com- pelled to adopt the d-calibre as a mimimum, and brings forward to support his tests which have been mad experiments have -been mace with the G-calibre vifie, the carrying distance of which was 6,000 meters, and a bullet from which at 00 meters passed clean through the body of a horse. Again, he quotes the tests mu where he states that excellent re- sults huve been obtained with the 5-calibre. According to Prof. Hebler Zavich, one of the best known authorities on projectiles, the 5-calibre gun would be 2.8 superior in results to the S-calibre, and as especially emphasizing the utility of the small calibre rifie he demonstrates that the soldier can carry an extraordinary number of cartridg Something Depends on th In conclusion, however, he weapons do not render victory certain so much as the character of those who use them. The needle gun was inferior enough to the Chassepot of 1870, nevertheless the Germans were victoriou With that Gen- era ncludes by sayinz that, as the days of universal peace have not yet ar- rived, it is the duty of each country to arm itself with the very best weapon obtainable. But—and there is a big but in this case— the change from the present calibre to the gun such as is proposed by General Witte would cost the country 550,000,000 marks,and if the change were made it would be the fourth time that the calibre of the German rifle has been altered since 1870. The iser has taken the keenest in- terest in the question, as he does in all mili- tary matters, most especially as regards small arms. 1 have it that hé is strongly impressed with the views bronght forward by General Witte, and thav experiments will shortly be made with the 5-calibre rifles. On the other hund a general in the highest position here1s said to have some time ago expressed himself rather adversely on the latest idea of reducing the calibre, which he thinks nhas reached its minimum Who knows?

Movements of the Emperor, The kaiser started Thursday for Wilhelms- haven and will there make a speech on the occasion of the oath being taken by the marine recruits which. it is expected, will be of considerable impo.tance at the present moment. Thence, the weather permitting, the emperor will go to Heligoland. The governor of Heligoland has been here during the past week, and has reported to the the progress made with the fortifications on the islands. The kaiser's visit will be made with a view to a personal inspection of wi has been done, for he takes a keen inte in his latest acquisition.

Up to the present time the commission has been engaged in discussing it from the points of view of finunce and organization. Now comes the time when 1t is to be in a more concrete form, a deputy said some a great deal of water will pass under the castle bridge eve the bill becomes alaw. The chan- cellor is at the present moment more anxious to get cash, that is to say, to have his budget passed, than almost all else. Ready money has become quite a luxury in public offices, id for the lack of it the most inconvenient economies had been forced. Thus itis that we may witness the vote on the military bill postponed to Easter and even to autumn, although I scarcely think the kaiser will allow the latter delay. His Chances with Rome. Some comment has been caused by the fact that before he left here for Rome General von Loe, while a guest of the chancellor, met Prince Arenberg, well known as a Roman Catholic partisun, at the court, and Count Zehality, ex-minister of education and author of the deceased education bill. The education bill very pleasing to the center, and it is now whispered that the est sop to that party is to dangle what was known as the “‘Lex Zeedlitz" education bill before them, With General vou Loe ywent Comte Baltestre, one of the leaders of the center, who may be mentioned here, in conjunction with Dr Schorlemer of the same party, as in favor of passing the military bl Cardinal Kopp, a great friend of the em- peror and who is reckoned to have great influence with his holiness, is also in Rom: and therefore, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, I should not be surprised to find that a political move re sults from von Loe's mission, and that the only question upon which an understanding cannot be then arrived at is the return of of the Jesuits, which may not be raised. As u further spoke in the wheel there has been talk of the encouragement of the appoint en into considered but as days ago, was ment of an apostolic nunelo in Berlin, al- though it must be said seant credence is given in Roman Catholicglreles to this idea's materializing. Summed up, the whole situ ation appears to lie in the fact that the center is stubborn, that Rome is most un- likely to interfere, and that oven if it were the center would ot recognize the papal in- fluence in matters temporal, Some Energetie Opposition, In the meantime the chancellor is ne- gotiating with Herr von Beningsen for a4 new compromise, but the latter has but one reply, and that is that he must have the two years system or nothing. From a court source 1 hear that the em- peror seems willing enough to accept the proposition of von Beningsen, which would give all the money required and the military conditions asked, with merely the condition that the two years system would be adopted for the five years The question we hear the most about at this moment is the recall of the Jesuits he kaiser himself has the greatest an tipathy to the sect, but it is powerful enough not only to sway parliamentary majorit but also to influence the emperor. The subject will be mooted during the coursc of the next few weeks in the Reichs ag and may prove the axis of a great Roman Catholic movement in the future. The center party is urging its utmost the return of the Jesuits, but there is also u strong section of the Roman Cath olic clergy opposed to it. I hear that a huge public petition will be presented the stag ugaiust the return of the Jesuits ready 80,000 sienatures ave afixed. This is a curious document, which reminds one of the times of the “Thirty YearseWar. roubles of the Churches, We shall therefore witness a battle royal in the Reichstag, in which I for ter party will meet with defeat we shall have warm times, as the center will then oppose everything governmental. But the Roman Catholic party has very strong hold here, and it will make its power felt in the destinies of Germany. The famous Father Hoynsbruck nowadays frequents the Berlin university, where he has been ttending lectures of Harnack; also, traussmeyer, author of the celebrated work on “guadenlchere,” is hard at work in the national library lately. The chief of the Jesuits made an inspection of the Ger- man missions, and was afforded all facilitics. The bellicose bishop of Treves at the same time has exhorted his followers to have no further commercial dealings with protes- tants, thus further accentuating the feeling between the two churches. Neat Little see the cen In that case amwe of Politics. Minister of Foreign Affairs Marshall, who is o Bavarian lawyer, has protested aga the statement in the Kreuz Gazette, which stated that Count Schiouvaloft had inspired the Berlin correspondents through the me- dium of a priest. 1 happen to know the inner stion. Jtis piquant. It is the ex-mistress of Paul Lindau, Schabelski, who under the name of “Proteus” gave out the letters which in- spired the articles' In question. They have been full of panslavist hintred, attacking ev- erything and everybody; and above all the kaiser. At the back of Schabelski was the publisher ‘Wittrowsky, otherwise Harden, editor of the notorious mugazine Zuhkunft, which was inspired by Bismarck. The truth goes further and shows that although the ambassador himself does mot meddle in political matters here, there are those at the embassy who do, and further, their doings are known and duly reported at headquarters. Their spies are followed and tracked by governmeut spies. It is a pretty game. Here we have heaps of Russian spies in high life and down stairs their names are duly recorded, but there severe instructions are never to go too near the embassy. All cominunications pass throush the third per- son. 1 could tell you much more, but dis- cretion bids me halt here. Coming of the Ahlwardt. Ahlwardt will be liberated on the 224 of this month. Then we may expect a monkey and parrot time in the Reichstag. We shall probably havea noisy demonstration. He will probably be accompanied to the Reich- stag by his lawyer, Harbwick, whose election for Leiguity seems to be assured. Caprivi has just had an interview with the progressist deputy, Bamberger, over the military bill. The latter exacts firstly, the reform of the military laws; sccond, the nomination of a liberal secretary of the wsury; thirdly, prophylatic measures against anti-Semitism, In Store for the Chancellor, This week has been _an important one in the history of Germany, for it has shown us the fate of the military bill, which it is now certain has been rejected unles the two years service is accepted. The kaiser's return from his journey to Wilhelms- haven and Heligoland will not be overpleas- ant for the chancellor, who strangely mis- caleulated the temper of the commission, suring the kaiser just before his departure that the bill was pertectly safe. There has never been any doubt as to the wishes of the people being against tho military bill, yet it was supposed that the dexterous manipulations adopted, as related in these columns, to have ended ina compromise. The Herald had ceven been attacked as anti-German for doubting that the bill would pass in its or| inal form. Now that it is virtually rejected, we hope such critics will discover that our reflections were but teo temperate. Now there is talk of & partial cabinet crisis, dis- solution and so forth, but until the empero veturns we shall know nothing positive. 1 hear that his majesty on the ne'vs of the stubborn opposition of the commission being made known to bim. was in no pleasant frame of mind 1t GERMANY'S ARMY BILL, Itis B ng Wore Popular with the Peo- ple Beruiy, Feb. 18.—The action of the army bill committee on Thursday in rejecting the two years' service clause has by no means finally ttled the question at issue. Yet Chancellor von Capriyi privately declares that the committee's aetion will not prejudice the decision of the Reiehstag. The govern ment relies upon the fact that the two years term is so desired by the mass of electors that they will not permit the Reichstag to reject the opposition offer of a two years term if made @& permanent law Chancellor von Caprivi continues to give pledges to apply the law prac tically for two years, but he insists the gov- crnment shall retain the option to apply it for the three years limit.

Repeated protests to the government of Uruguay aguinst the open sympathy displayed by the Uruguayans along the border line with the feaeralists have at last ed the govern- ment in Montevideo to move against the revolutionists in Rio Grande do Sul. The friendship of the Uruguayans along the bor- der has not ended with the expressions of sympathy, but the Brazilian federalists have been permitted to gather on Uruguayan soil and from there make many raids into Rio Grande do Sul. Many of the soldiers who march under the federalist flag are really Uruguayans. Threats from the Uruguayan government against the federali and their sympa- thizers have not been effective and now the authorities i1 Montevideo have resolved to co-operate with the Castilhistas in pressing the revolution. A force of Uruguayan soldiers has been sent to the frontior, where they were joined by 1,000 Castilhista troops. The combined forces have occupied the town of Livarmento and there await an at- tack by the federalists, while the citics of Yagauron and Santa Anna have also been fortified and are ready to resist any attack the federalists may make. The federalists are thus abopt to be confronted with the forces of Governor Costilho and Rio Grande do Sul and those of the general government of Brazil and Uruguay.

In answer the holy father kindly authorized Cardinal Rampolla to give me a special anaience tonight, and to send to \ message in his name. “I speak for the pope,” said the cardinal “The holy fathier has been told of your re- quest, and I am deputed to convey to you the high and noble thoughts of the pontiff. He desires me to assure the derald of tne lively sympathy with which he regards your glori and the admiration he feels for ength, prosperous youth, enterprising great activity, vast re pro gressive culture, and for the true freedom it grants all its ci freedom so unlike what usurps that name in this old Euroy ours, where liberty is sung of so much and trampled foot so often. XIIT, bids me that he there is a future reserved for America whenever she shall join to the spirit of national independence a deep respect and love for the glorious banner of the th symbol of Christian civilization, first raised in the new world by Columbus T'o sum up the pope's feelings briefly Tam asked to say that he loves America with special unswerving affection, and bends on her his thoughts. You may be sure that at the grand spectacle upon which faithfy nd unfaithful alike will gaze tomorrow in the vatican, the basilica above the tomb where rest the ashes of the apost who was the formost in confessing Christ as the son of the one living God, a favored | will be kept warm in the great all-emb father's heart for America, and that many others he wiil find room for one hearty prayer that the Almighty wmay pour down abundant blessings on your noble country.’ Cardinal Rampolls intormed me that the pope was well and vigorous. Yesterday he gave audl ine hours without any | il effects, was leaving the cardinal | said ““Phe holy father rejoices at this opportu: nity the Herald has given him to send through it a message to the new world.” s yw York Exchauge Quotations.

As predicted yesterday, the ac- tion in cutting off the appropriation for the secretavies was but the precursor of what was to follow, but the final denoues ment came even sooner thun was anticipated. The members of the bourd profess to fecl satisfied, saying that it is along the line of what they wanted, as they were overworked, and that this curtamling of their many duties is very acceptable. Not so, however, with the secretarics, as they had 4 snap, and they are filled with regrey is gone. They formu- lated a letter in the nature of a report, sete ting forth what they had accomplished in the past six years, and it was submitted to the senate last evening, but as Senator P said when it was presented: here just a little too late, my The train has gone.” 1t had already t s and the board must both go. The independents were not the only ones who were determined to abolish the board, as there were enough votes to t end to have given it a two-thirds vote had that been necessary, as a majority of the republi- can members were convinced that it was hopeless to look to the board for the desired relicf in the wayiof railroad legislation, and vigorously opposed its further continuance. Will Give Out the Testi because it kwood You got dear, the secretar ny. Notwithstanding the determination of the house to conduct the bribery investigation secretly, the committee has tuken it upon itself to make all the procecdings public, and the stenographer has been directed to fur- nish a copy of the testimony to the papers for publication. McIKesson opposed this, but Stevens and Casper were in favor of it, and of course the majority ruled. Considerable wave comment is heard because of this action of the committee, as it is urged, and apparently upon very good grounds, that is will render the investigation a favce. Tt will notify the interested parties on the outside of all that has been said behind the closed doors and enable them to so arrange their stories as to most thoroughly destroy the force of the statements made by the prose- cuting witnesses, Public opinion declares that there great deal of truth behind the allegations that have been made, but the same public opinion says that there is little reason to expect any definite showing or any beneficial results, more especially in view of the recent determination to make the proe ceedings public before the investigation is concluded, It is stated that public investi- gations never amount to much, and it is bes lieved that the committee has imposed a tremendous handicap upon itself at the start by its latest decision. ‘The superintendents of the various state mstitutions have gone home in disgust, be- se of their failure to induce the house to ase the amounts allowed by the committee on finance, ways and means for their various institutions, They will return in a few days to again try their luck before the senate. There is little doubt but that the approprie ations will be very materially increased by the upper house, in which case there will be y row when the conference committee Alled upon to adjust the differenc Discoverad a Peculiar Conditior The meeting of the Board of Charities yesterday afternoon brought to light a state of affairs that will have considerable weight in the settlement of the row between the Board of Public Lands and Buildings and the lady managers or trustecs of the Home for the Friendless. When the bills for that institution were submitted State Treasurer Bartley noticed that the greater part of them were for fine cavpets, lace cur- tains, ete., and but little for the necessaries of life, He refused to givehis consent to their payment without an investigation, and announced his determination of visiting institution o how afiairs were being conducted. The other members of the board demurred at first, but Bartley de- clined to vecede from his position, and the board finally went out to the South street home.: The result of their visit was far om being satisfactory, and the treasurer insisted that the goods must be sent back and something more nceded by the children sent out in their place, The discovery of this condition of things has caused a renewal of the talk about & state purchasing agent. It is a notorious fact that u great deal of merchandise that is bought for the various institutions is not sup= plied by contractors, und the state Is requived to pay the highest retail price, In this v a very considerable amoun$ is annually taken out of the public till to | pay for goods that find their way into the private houses of the attaches of the instls tutions or to those of some of their intimate fricnds. This matter will be called to the tention of the special committee that was appointed some time ngo to investigate the various state institutions. Capital National's Condition, It is not yet certain whether the relatives of Mosher will contribute of their means t@ ssist the president of the defunct Capital National bank in squaring up the obligations of that concern, The report of the conme stantly increasing amount of the shortage s sald to have convinced them thut they will not be able to satisfy the claims, and that to try to pay out would simply be throwing their money into & rat hole, Ind' formation as to the exact condition of affairs is impossibie to obtain, as the examinatio is not yet completed.
