WAY WIN BY A COMPROMISE Fear of French Invasion Will Probably Pass Germany's Army Bill, AS DR. MIGUEL VIEWS THE SITUATION Mensure Should Bo Modified Rather Than Submit to n Ge 1 Election—Changes 1 the Costumes of the Soldiors. Benreiy, March 10.—The Associated press correspondent had an interview today with Dr. Johannes Miguel, Prussian minister of finance, concerning the critical situation ated by the attitude of the parties toward the army bill. Dr. Miguel's opinions on the subject are regarded as exceptionally im portant, as he is being accused daily of in- triguing to precipitate a cabinet crisis in connection with the bill, to oust Count von Capriviand to secure his own elevation to the chancellorship. “In the event of a dissolution of the Reichs- tag,” said Dr. Miguel, “the majority of Ger- man electors, 1 believe, will support the army bill. The south German and the Rhinelanders, who would suffer most from an invasion by the French army, would be especially anxious veturn deputies who would favor strengthening the army to the fuil extent demanded by the government “In my opimion, however, the wisest course | would be Lo effcct a compromise with the present Reichstag and thus avoid the disad- vantages suffered by the country from a general election “A majority for the moaified forim could ured diplomatic negotiations with the and with the radicals (Freisinnige) Dr. Miguel made no more dircet reference to Count von Caprivi's policy than that con- tained in his recommendation of a compro- mise.

On my last journoy I reached & point within about 450 miles of the pole, and from the northern coast of Greenland 1 saw land beyond. 1f that land extends to the pole, or if the Arctic beyond it be frozen over, I have strong hopes chieving the long sought point ““This much I think I may safely say, that I willgo as far north as the land beyond nland extends.

Reached Greenland's Norther “On my last trip ou estublished at Ked C: sound, which is about 1,200 miles lower extremity of Greenland and from the northernmost Danish in that country. There was one ference between my mode of travel and that of previous explorers. The interior of Greenland is covered with an immens: blanketof snow, which T may call an ice cap. It is the accumulation of stows during tho s past and has frozen into a solid mass, filling valleys and covering mountains until the interior of Greenland is like an_immense table land, with few greater depressi relatively, than one may observe in ocean. “From the ¢ ascent for of 5,000 feet.

All previous explorers have made their way northward along the sea coast, generally traveling on the ice out- side the line of land. T avoided many of the obstacles they encountered by striking boldly across country. The geeral direction of the coast above Whale sound is on a line north- east and southwest. My party took a north- easterly direction with the intention of going to the northern end of Greenland proper, and that we did. “When we came to the northernost fjord reached y Greely it was July and the ice showed signs of breaking up. We found that the supposed fjord extended inland with a southeasterly trend, and we followed along its shore.

Methods of Trave “From Red CIiff house back we traveled 1,300 mil ud the dis- tance in a direct line to Indcpendence bay may have been 500 miles or more. All that journey, you understand, was made on foot. After a fresh fall of snow it was like travel- ing through sand and some days we gained only fifteen miles, while under favoring con- ditions we were able Lo coveras high as fifty. No man was allowed to ride, for we needed overy pound of power in our sledge dogs for the transportation of our supplies. “Our dogs were equal to a load of 100 pounds each. On that journey they did their work nobly with not a footsore animal among them and their daily allowance of food was ouly one pound of pemican. The journey was something like traveling over the sea, for there was nothing to break the view except the horizon, and we kept our course and locality by suu observations every day or two. “The experience gained on will be of great advantage in the next un- dertaking. 1 will leave America in June, reaching Whale sound the latter part of July. While one party is engaged putting up quarters for the winter another will tart mland with loads of supplies. They will go as far as they can before the long winter night sets in and will leave the pro- visions and the heavy sleds, marking the spot by taking the latitude and longitude “The final start for the north will not be made until February or early in March of uext year.

Light the Shooting Afair, So far R. N. Harvey, the traveling man who fired three shots at C. G. Alton Satur day evening, has been unable to give bail and will probably occupy cell No. 6 in the city jail until Tuesday, when his preliminary hearing will take place. Judge Berka was called upoy yesterday by friends of the prisoner and fixed the amount of bail at $1,000. Through the courtesy of the prison ofticials a Bee reporter was al- lowed to have a short talk with Harvey last evening. Mr. Harvey had stood his confinement well and appeared quite cheerful. When the shooting affuir w ntioned he said “I want to thank Tr : through you for the impartial report made of the affair inthe Sunday morning paper.

I should have been more guarded in my speech. In the talk that followed Mr. Harvey in- timated that he had proof of his wife's infi- i nd Alton's infamy. He said that he ake a good woman of his wife, but judging from what he had learned he had not succeeded, He declined to v anything regarding Alton beyond the fact that he would be Altop's enemy until death.

When given to understand that Harvey had so far kept his mouth shat, Alton said that the affair was a ease of blackmail from start to finish. tentiary sentence for the getting money from you porter. This question put the matter in a different light and Mr. Alton put on his thinking cap. He denounced the statements made in a sen- - sational sheet as false, and denied having been present at Denver during the conclave. “Will you sign a complaint_ a Har- vey in police court today?” w next question. With a good deal of hesitation the answer came “Well, 1 expect to, “But will you?” “Yes, I think I will,” said Mr. Alton. During the talk which followed Mr. Alton id that he had only known the Harveys a short time and hardly knew Mr. Harvey by sight. When asked whethe business trans- ion was the cause of the difficulty, Alton did not at first seem inclined to answer but finally said that business matters might have been the 2ause. It is understood that Harvey has in his possession letters from Alton wherein a set- tlemett is spoken of and asked for, but Har- vey refuses to make these letters public. e AMUSEMENTS. ight chance asked the re- a “Danger Signal” at the Farnam Stroet.
