(Oopyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.) Beuuy, July 8—[New York Herald Cable—Special to ‘Lur Bee.]—The situation js just as much as ever involved. The Poles, it would seem, have given way, but now the ant-Semites crop up, demanding that the taxation for the military bill should fall heavily on the Stock exchange—other- wise on the Jews. This is just as strongly opposed by the liberals, that is thoso ropre- sented by the Freisinniger vorcinigung. so already the chancellor finds himself between two fires. That the bill will pass there scems very small doubt, but when one comes {o think of the frantic efforts which have been found necessary to scrape together the meager majority which the bill now appears ljkely to havo, its passage savors moro of the nature of coercion than a victory for the government. As it is the discus- -s10n will probably last three weeks, during which time, 1t the government wishes to obtamn a majority, 1t will have to tread with yery delicate steps and in all probability make several concessions, notably author- izing the two-years service clause as permanent. Cnprivi and the Kalser. Tam told that Caprivi had the greatest diMculty in persuading the kaiser to put off his northern trip, and it was only when the chancellor explaiued that the bill stood in jmminent danger of being refused that the fnonarch assented. The story goes here that the chancellor got wind of a plan wh the kaiser was likely to meet Count Walder- see, who happens to bo traveling in Sweden and Norway. and feared the meeting might bear evil results for himseif, as he and the late chief of staffare well known to be sworn encmies. So it was that the chancel- lor accentunted the ill impression that would De left in the peoplo’s mind were the kaser to be away atsuch a critical moment. [t is 8aid, however, that the kaiser acceded very relustantly, but Caprivi haa his way and Was aappy. . Bismarck In the Ascendaney. 1t 1s daily growing upon the political mind that Herbert Bismarck is going to be one of the present Reichstag. The sight of Bis- marck listening to the speech from the throne, read by tho monarch, who was formerly on the most intimato terms of friendship with him, but who on that day gave him no sign of recognition, waf duly re- marked, It proved the great antipathy which reigns between the houses of Hohen- zollern and Bismarck today, but in the Reichstag o great many conservatives and liberal conservatives, who have been drifting about for want of a strong leader, see at last o young Bismarck the possibilitics of such a man, and in the Reichstag they have overwheimed him with attentions. It was much remarked that Count Lerchenfeld, Bavarian delegate 0 the Federal Council, warmly greeted him and conveyed to him the sympathy of the south toward his father. There aro few strong men on the conservative side, which {8 largely filled with aristocratic nonentities, and amongst the possibilities 1s that Bis- marck might assume the lead of a large party, representing the agricultural inter- ©sts, which are going to play so large a role Jater. Whether in the meantime the meet- ings of Bismarck and the kaiser at the im- perial gardens and elsewhere may lead to the mich desived reconciliation remains to be scen. Caused & Sonsation on the Hourse, There was almost a panic on the bourse today, owing to Caprivi's giving way to the anti-Semites in the matter of taxing stock transactions. The feature on the political board was tho capitulation of the anti-Se- wites and Poles, fnsuring the passage of he military bill. The Boersen Courier con- thins an article denying the Miquel inter- view published in the New York papers, and has demanded a retraction, Prince Bismarck is suffering considerably from varicose veins. Miquel Will Not Retire, Report says Miquel has expressed to sov- eral friends a desire to retire from political 1ife, in which be has made such a success as astatesman. I have made inquiries, and a friend of his says he does not bolieve such is the intention of the former director of the Disconto bank. In fact, although Miquel carries the age of a veteran, he is too fresh to lay down his arms. Moreovor, he has not ceased 1 dream of the post of chancellor, and, overwhelmed with distinctions from the emperor, and supported by the right centre and national liberals, he has every right to not consider his po.itical mission terminated. He fis well aware that he represents the smartest inteliect in the cabinet,holding the greatest amount of imperial confidence, und such a condition of affairs should contradict any rumor of his retirement. Miquel has not yot reached the apogee of his brillant carcer as o statesman. He is a friend of ‘Walderseo, and is not averse to Bismarok, He will yet play an important role in the political arena. The assaults made on him by Ablwardt have uot hurt him. He laughs at them, Bound to Make the Visit One- day we are iuformed the kaiser has glven up his northern trip, and the next that he will undertake it. The latest news says ho has reconsidered his former decision, and encouraged by the assurances that the mli- tary bill is sure to pass, influenced by the strong wistes of the kalser, in that he car- xies out the trip he has undertaken, he will start on the 15th or 17th of this month for Swedish wuters- Accoraiugly the busines: of victualling the roysl yacht is being vigor- ously pushed forward. Therefore it would soom that optimistism at the castle rules trong. This is the outcome, the result of ‘aprivi meetiog on Thursday with the heads ©Of the friendly parties. 1 can find no veritication of the report that the German war authorities have been pur chasing large tracts of land on the French ier, with the object of building forts, which has 1 orted by French papers to be the case. ‘The question of the raturn of the Jesuits, n twithatanding the wishes of the center, will not be discussed this session.

The goverament hopes the session will be over by the end of next week. Another Important Tndivi The greatest curiosity has been aroused ns to what attitude Dr. Sigl, the famous cham- pion of the Bavarian bauerbuent, will tak in the new Reichstag. At the hustings Sigl made things very lively, and without any dount he wiil make the wool fly in the Reichstag. This remarkable individual is returned as what he calls a particularist. He is the editor of Veterland, a small sheet with a large circulation, which preaches vio- lently against Prussia. Aithough a Roman Catholic, he is a most violent enemy of the center, and revels in reviling the pope, for which he has been excommunicated. His ideal was Pius IX. Leo he considers a dead failure, o man of straw. He has been named Schimpf Sigl, for the force of the insulting language he adopts. Hg has seen the inside of prison walls on account of his violent, utterances, but amongst the electors he is highly popular. It is owine to him that the Bavarian center lies demolished. His paper has 45,000 subscribers and 18 a paying con- cern, He is strongly anti-Semite, and will be the most original type in the Reichstag, as also the greatest firebrand there. DETAILS OF TUE DEBATE. '(pnuknho Far Have Only Volced Thelr Individual Sentiments, Beruiy, July 8,.—The speeches made for and against the army bill in the Reichstag ve been of purecly partisan character, in- ting nothing of the undercurrents which may ultimately guide the votes of the several parties, Each speaker indicated his known program and avoided any reference to compromise. Herr Boeckel, who leads the democratic faction of the anti-Semites, today suggested the terms by which his half dozen followers would support Von Caprivi. The suzgestions contained the idea that if its terms were not granted the faction wouid maintain 1ts opposition and set its face against the bill. The best speech today was that of Dr. von Bennigsen, the national liberal leader, who acked the centrists and Richterists, de- 1g that they were defeating their own purposes by the intensity of their hos:ility tothe g ient. ‘These parties were Jeeting concihatory proposals and forsaking their best traditions by demanding their own terms or nothing. It wus this attitnde that led to the political destruction of the freisinnige party, for which Eugene Richter was respousible. Richter Defends His Courso. Herr Richter was very angry at this ailu- slon to the defeat of the movement which he had led to almost completo extinction, and made a furious reply. He said, among other things, that moral principles formed the sole standing ground of the radical peo- ple's party, and that the triumph of their principles was assured. The defeat of his party was but momentar; Then Herr Presiss, an A ian, denounced the increase of thearmy. The increase asked for by the government was ncedless and would place an oppressive burden upon the people. The obvious determination of a large num- ber of the members to be heard on the bill implies that the discussion will last until the end of next week., Wednesday next is the day for private members' motions. The centrists will then raise the question of the readmission of the Jesuits. The freisinnige papers persisu in stating that the govern- ment's support of or refraining from oppos- ing this ultra-montane proposal will be the price paid the centrist for their support of the bill. Both the centrist leaders and the government adherents deny any compact, avo Askod an Income Tax. The chancellor undoubtedly has a majority in faver of the bill in the centrists. In the lobbies today it was not the Jesuit but the taxation question upon which the centrists declared an arrangement for their support was possible. While Herr Goeber pro- claimed “n> compromise” in the house, members of the liberal wing of the house stated in the lobby that if the chancellor pledged the government to cover the in- crease in the expenditures by a progressive imperial tax on incomes of over 12,000 marks the centrists would vote for the bill, Dr. Licber means to insist that the bill go to a committee, giving time for negotiating. The session s certain to clast longer than was at first expected. T'he national liberals have given notice of o motion in regard to the distress caused by the drouth and ulso to the lack of fodder fol the army manoeuvers. The Reichterists, with the members of the volks parties, will propose the entire suspension of the import duties on fodder until May, 1804, Saclalist Elections in Bavaria, The olection for members of the Bavarian Landtag are proceeding, For the first time the socialists have captured two seats from Munice and Hapsburg.

Bovio. who bas baen energetic in pressing forward the investi tion of the frauds, made the spee duy. The time had come, he said, fov all im- plicated in the bank robbery to explaiu theiv actions. Doputies, sanators and merchants who had soiled their hands with the corrup- tion funds of tho bank issue, ought to con- fess now ana defend themsslves if they could. The country ought to learn who were 1ts dishoncst servants, “If the senate will appoint a new commit- tee of inquiry,” continued Sig. Bovio, “I will refrain from naming the guilty men. 1 demand, howover, that the guilty men re- frain from voting on the measuro now bofora the house. If they do mot, I will name them.” Riot broke loose in the chamber as Sig. Bovio made this threat. Some of the dep- utics shouted: *Name them.” Other turned on Bovio with clenched fists and called him a boaster, o liar and a hypocrite. Iusults were exchanged on every side, and s dozen or more fights were preveuted only by the interference of a few cool men, who held back their most pugnacious colleagues. After endeavorlng in vain for flve minutes to restore order, the president of the cham- ber suspended the sitting. When the pro- ceedings were resumed Sig. Rovio yielded to the importunities of his friends and declined to continue his speech. The bank bill was then passed by a vote of 232 to135. The chamber then adjourned for the summer hol- iday. ————— NEBRASKA AT THE FAIR, Those Who Reglatércd at the State House terday—South Dakota’s Opeuing.

He knows he is lying when he makes the statement he does and covertly insinuates that honorablo men have been guilty of dishonest and scoundrelly acts.” These words came with wrath from Senator John Sherman at the Union depot last night, as he was nbout to take a train for his home at Mansfield, O., and were drawn out by & charge brought against him and others by James H. Platt, president of the Denver Paper Mills company of Denver. in a news- paper communication, The charge is in connection with the pass- age by congress of the law of 1873 demonetiz- ing sitver, known us the demonetization act. Mr. Platt, in effect, charged that Senator Sherman, while acting as a member of the conference committee on the bill, did, in con- Junction with other wembers of the commit- tee, surreptitiousiy insert a clause in one section of the bill repealing free coinage, and smuggling it through both houses ina base, underhanded manuer, and that not a member of the senate or house, nor even President Grant, when he signed the bill, had the faintesy suspicion that such a clause was contained in the bill. Most Serlous Charze of AlL Mr. Platt further intimated that advan- tage was taken of this secret clause by mem- bers of the conferepec committee for specu- ‘ative purposes. Mr. Sherman continued: “He is simply rovampiag some old charges that wero ex- ploded long ago. They even failed to sorve the purpose they were intended to, and were vretty generally laughed at by men of both rarties. Why, so eminent a .demograt as Abram S. Hewitt of New York, thena member of the houss, investigatea the charges when they were first given currency, and made a strong report to the house to the effect that there was not a word of truth in the charges. That report of Mr. Hewitt’s T made use of in one of my speeches when called upon once before'to deny these ridiculous churges.” Plate Quietly Perseveres. DeNver, July 8.—Colonel James H. Platt was shown a copy of the dispatch to the Associated press from Chicago today in which Senator Sherman answered Platt's charge that the bill demonctizing silver in 1873 was smuggled through congress without debate or tho kuowlenge of either house. Mr Platt said: “There is no issue of veracity between Mr. Sherman and wmyself. It is entirely between Mr. Sherman and the Congressional Record. He will not deny that the eleven words which took away from silver its minting privilege were added to the bill by the conference committee, or claim that the repeal of free coinage. which these words caused, had ever been discussed or suggested in either house of the Forty- second congress or referred to his commit- tee. Neither will he claim that in present- ing the report to the scnate after these words had been added by the conference eommittee he or any one else called atten- tion to the addition, or that Mr. Hooper of Maesachusetts, in presenting the report to the honse, alluded in any way to this most important amendment, although of far more 1mportance than all the rest of the bill. Asks for an Expluuation. *If Mr. Sherman would kindly explain how the conference committee was induced to insert these words, by whom they were suggested, and why, having added an amend- ment of such womentous importance, he did not call the attention of the senate to ft, the country would be deeply gratified and it would have much more effect than calling names. “Idid not charge Mr, Sherman with hav- ing taken advantage of his knowlodge for speculutive purposes; I did say that the few men who knew that the minting privilege had been taken from silver had a great op- vortunity for epeeulation, but I did not chargo that they took advantage of it. The Congressional Record is on file at every public libras Any one who cares to know the truth of this matter has only to take the Record and follow the bill through from its first introduction to its final passage. In this way the absolute accuracy of my state- ments In the letter to the Journal of July 8 can be easily ascertained.” —————— CORNELL'S RACE.
