EUT THE BUDGET SliOYTS A DEflCIT Br.KLiN, Nov. 27. Chancellor von Ca pri vi was present at the session of the Reichstag to-day, and in a short speech he referred to the rumors that he intended to resign his position as head of the Imperial Chancclloric He said that these rumors were ridicnlous. lie was by no means tired of holding office, and he declared that he intends to remain at his post as long as the Emperor was pleased to retain his ser vices. This announcement was greeted with applause. Herr Rickert said there was great dis satisfaction throughout the country, but that was not the fault of the present Govern ment. It was an inheritance from Prince Bismatck's system. He condemned the extravagance shown in the military and naval estimates, but approved the conclu sion of the commercial treaties, to which he said the Fressinnge party would give their strongest support. Von Caprivi Defends the Government. Chancellor von Caprivi followed. After denying that he intended to resign, he re fated the reproach uttered against the Government on account of its so-called vacillating policy. Truth and frankness, he said, were the best methods in foreign politics. The Kaiser's journey to Russia had established friendly intercourse be tween the two monarchs, but no political matters had been discussed between them. The press had indulged in too much drumming, and its clamor in regard to the visit of the Trench fleet to Cronstadt had engendered on the other side a wish for more drumming. The position of France and Russia toward the Dreibund has not changed. All that happened at Cronstadt was that existing conditions had become manifest. But there was no need of uneasi ness. The Czar's intentions were most pacific, only care must be taken to avoid clumsy errors. The Czar's Government was in a position to make its will prevail. Its increased confidence in the French constituted no danger to Germanv. Referring to the State of the general armament in Europe, the Chancellor said that this would continue much longer, un influenced by the resolves adopted bypeace congresses. Preparation a Guaranty of Peace. It was, however, a matter of satisfaction that the general preparedness for war in creased the desire for peace. In East Africa Germany still had a task to fulfil. She had been obliged to have recourse to the doubtful plan of a lottery, but Ger many's possessions in Africa were ten times more important than those of England, with which nation Germany had not made a bar gain. Continui ig the Chancellor said that the abolition oi compulsory passports in Alsace Lorraine has been regarded as an act of weakness, bnt a continuance of that system as a permanency was impossible. The as Fimilation of "Reichsland with Germany was progressing surely. There was no eaue for uneasiness on account of the army, although a certain military pessi mism had lately become apparent. The world's habit of estimating the'worth of an nrmy according to its numbers was wrong. Germany never before possessed so many capable "military leaders, and no other na tion had such chances for the next war. Referring to the movement of troops in the Russian and French fronticis, the Chancellor said that Germany, as well as Austria, had in this respect possibly ex ceeded their duty. No Real Cause for Alarm. Too much anxiety had prevailed because Russia had dispatched an army corps tq a place as near the German "frontier as Coblentz was to the Russian frontier. The newspapers, moreover, ought to be- better implored than in alarming their readers by publishing reports calculated to interfere with commerce and damaging the credit of the country. Germanv is in a fortunate position in being able to rely upon a fine armv. He could not see why this policy would not be able to protect the interests of weraianv in any circumstances. The Chancellor, in referring to his journey to Russia with Emperor "William, said he knew that the interview between the two Emperors had given great satisfaction to Russia. Xothing, he said, could shake his convictions that the personal intentions of the Czar were the most pacific in the world. Ko existing Government," he added, "has sufficient military preponderance to indue: it to provoke war with a licht heart. The stronger a Government is the more easily will it avoid a dangerous contretemps. It is a source of satisfaction to know that Rus sia possesses this strength. France would not nave sought the Cronstadt meeting had she doubted that Russia was strong enough It Reallv Meani That France and Russia Are Opposed to the Dreibund and Eng land, but 1T1U Await a Better Time Before Resinning Actual Wnr. rCOr-TElGnT. IS91. BY THK XEW YORKiSSOCIATED TRESS. Loxdox, Nov. 27. The first authentic information conveying the results of M. De Giers sojourn in Paris has reached the Foreign Office through the British Embassy at Berlin. M. De Giers has communicated to Emperor "William and Chancellor Von Caprivi a clear explanation of the confer ences held in Pans and the character of the Russo-Freneh entente therein achieved. Doubtless the Czar has instructed his Min ister to make declarations with a view to having, not only the German Government, but other interested European Govern ments, learn the nature of the compact. According to a semi-official statement, based on M.!De Giers' declarations to Chan cellor Von Caprivi, a statement which will possibly be published throughout Europe to-morrow, the Russian statesman's recent interviews with President Carnot, M. Be Freycinet, Premier and Minister of War, and M. Ribot, Minister of Foreign AfTairs, resulted in a definite agreement for an ex clusively defensive alliance. The entente difiers on one most essential point from the Triple Alliance treaty, inas- inucti as, wniie mat nia&es me juiupcsu status quo the basis of the maintenance of peace, the Russo-Freneh entente aims at what M. De Giers has called "respect for treaties," meaning, especially, the restora tion of Russia's grip on Bulgaria and British evacuation of Ecypt. The differences on these features of the situation are not, in the meantime, to be rcgardedasconstitutinsr a danger of war, as both the Russian and French Governments desire to assure a strict application of the existing treaties by pacific means. M. De Giers has further communicated the fact that no tretv has as yet been signed, and has intimated that French Min isters desire the conclusion of a formal con tract as alone properly denning iutnre re sponsibilities and rendering it possible to pursue a distinct policy before Europe, while, at the same time", avoiding the re proach of cherishing warlike designs. The sum of these officials' assurances from the Berlin Embassy, is that the Paris confer ences of M. de Giers, instead of having an empty character, as was generally reported, have resulted in a scheme to maintain diplo matic warfare against the Dreibund and England, awaiting a more propitious period for engaging in actual war. BLAINE DROPPED IN. He Was a Totally Unexpected Visitor at the Quaker City. IT WAS SIMPLY A PERSONAL TRIP. The Secretary Is Only On His Way to His, Home in Augusta, Maine. POLITICS WERE NOT EVEN MENTIONED THE SPIRIT OF MUTINY Again Breaks Oat In the British Army in an Attempt to Hung a Corporal. London, N ov. 27. A spirit of murderous insubordination is prevalent at Aldershot. Taken in connection with the insubordina tion which some time ago resulted in the practical deportation to Bermuda of a whole battalion of the Grenadier Guards, which was followed by a revolt in the Coldstream Guards, the affair at Aldershot might be construed as another exhibition of the dis content which is alleged to prevail in all branches of the British service. A corporal of the Second Battalion of the Prince of Wales Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians), had by his petty tyrannies ren dered himself an object ot peculiar aversion to tbe men. Complaints were made in the usual military form against the obnoxious corporal, Dut they seemed to nave no enect. Finally the men concluded that the only way to avenge themselves was to kill him. A number of men thought that the best and quickest manner of putting the corporal out of the way would be to hang him, and this was finally decided upon. As the corporal was going his rounds he was seized by the men. He was dragged to a convenient spot. Here a noose was thrown around his neck and willing hands soon had him suspended in the air. He had been hanging only a short time when a sergeant discovered him. The latter immediately cut the rope and notified the surgeon of the regiment, who hurried to the place. The corporal was nearly dead, and it required the most stren uous efforts on the part of the surgeon, as sisted by others, to resuscitate him. rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Philadelphia, Nov. 27. Secretary of State James G. Blaine was an unexpected visitor to this city this evening. His com ing was not announced in any manner and the Stratford management did not know that he was to be a guest until the moment he entered the lobby and signed the regis ter as a regular arrival. Mr. Blaine was attended by his son, James G. Blaine, Jr., and they repaired immediately to their rooms, leaving word that they should not be disturbed. Mr. Blaine left Washington on the Baltimore and Ohio blue line ex press at 2.40 o'clock, arriving here at C:45 this evening. President Mayer, of the Balti more and Ohio, was on the same train. A section was taken on the parlor car, Illyria. It Is Onlj a Personal Visit. Among other on the train were Judge Nathaniel Ewing and his brother, S. E. Ewing, of Uniontown, and D. L. Ewing, Treasurer of the Fidelity Trust Company of Pittsburg. They registered at the Strat ford very shortly before Mr. Blaine's ar rival at the same house. Mr. Blaine sent down word in answer to card requests this invariable reply: "This is simply a personal visit. I am on my way home to Augusta." It was said later on that the Secretary proposes to return to Washington to-morrow morning. Judge Ewing was with Mr. Blaine in the Secretary of State Depart ment this afternoon more than half an hour, and was apparently very much surprised to learn that he was in the city. Judge Ewing Pars a Purely Social Call. "Our visit was purely social," said Judge Ewing in the Stratford's public parlor this evening, "and, in fact, Mr. Blaine did not say a word about his intention to travel, al though we must have been in his office until within a few moments of the train hour." "Was there anything of political signifi cance referred to during your visit?" ".Not a word on politics, I assure you. The Secretary did not touch upon the sub ject iu any ionn,anu j. uiu not as& questions with a view to having an expression from him on topics in which the public seems to have an interest just now. My brother and another gentlemen, with myself, comprised the party, and we were present possibly more than half an hour." There was a slight stoop in Mr. Blaine's walk, and quite a pallid look noted in his countenance. Madison Taylor, who attended Mr. Blaine during his illness at Bar Harbor last summer, called on him this evening. afternoon of another disaster much gadder. A young man named Ira Dans, aged 19 years, was buried under n heavy mass of coal and broken timbers and is doubtless dead. Two other workmen have been taken out badly injured, and whether other un fortunates have met death is not known. The cause of the accident was the falling in or a crib which separated bins containing coal of different sizes. About 30 men were working on one part of the pier this afternoon and shoveled nearly all the coal away from one side of the crib. This proved fatal, as the( heavy Jiressure against the other side caused the arge crib to fall in and crush under its weight and that of the vast bulk of coal which went with it, several of the men who were working there. Some appear to bo certain that the three men spoken of are the only ones who suffered from the accident, while others hold the opinion that there are two or three more buried there. SECRETARY PROCTOR'S SUCCESSOR. Rumors Rife ThatCivll Service Reform Precepts Will Be Carried Out. Washington, Nov. 27. Special The selection of Minneapolis as the place for holding next year's Republican Convention may not be the only political honor in store for the loyal and enthusiastic Republicans of the Northwest The statement has heretofore been published to the effect that the President is considering the advisa bility of promoting General Lewis A. Grant, Assistant Secretary of War, to suc ceed Secretary Proctor, is given credence by private dispatches received in Washing ton to-day. It is said that the President and his Cabinet advisers think it would be a good stroke of policy to give such a striking illustration of the administration's loyalty to civil service reform, and that the appointment of General Grant would also be much popular in a political way than that of ex-Governor Cheney, of New Hamp shire. The presence of Governor Cheney in Washington just at this time gives currency to the rumor that he is to receive the honor of a brief term in the Cabinet, and indeed it is a fact that at one time the President had practically decided to appoint him. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cheney are old friends, however, and the latter comes otten to Washington to see the President, so it is not altogether certain that his present visit has any'special significance. It was Baid at the War Department to-dar that there are several indications that General Grant is about to vacate the office of Assistant Secre tary, but it is not thought by any means that he is to leave the department.

The debate on the budget began in the Reichstag to-day. The Secretary of -the Treasury said that it was expected that there would be a deficit of 8,000,000 marks during the present fiscal year. The yield derived from customs showed the effect of the commercial treaties in restricting ex ports. The Secretary of the Treasurv aUo said that nothing as yet had been decided regarding a new loan. FEABCE BATHER INDHTZRENT. Its Business Blen Jieed Stirring Up on the World' Pair Subject. PARIS, Nov. 27. In reply to a question addressed to United States Consular officers throughout Prance as to the prospects of the Chicago World's Fair in their several districts, a considerable number of replies have been received. The general tenor of these replies is that the feeling of the peo ple toward the fair is one of indifference. In one or two districts, where the McKinley law presses most severely, a feeling akin to hostility is manifested. Generally speaking the opinion is ex pressed that there is need of bringing the matter more directly and personally before tne jrencn manutacturers and mercnants, and that if this is done a good representa tion from that country may be secured. British Fanning Societies Say America Most Extirpate Cattle. Londcw, Nov. 27. Since Secretary Rusk reported in favor of declaring that English live stock be excluded from the United States nnless the restrictions on the landing of American cattle at British ports be re moved, British farming societies have ac tively discussed the subject The balance of opinion among live stock dealers distinctly supports the attitude of Chairman Chaplin, of the Board of Agriculture, on the subject. Farmers' journals are giving prominence to announcements of recent outbreaks of cattle disease in New Jersey with a view to enforcing the argument that before the United States Government can legally claim admission for American cattle it must satisfv the British Government that plenro-pneu-monia is so extirpated that no cases have occurred in 12 months in any part of the Union. It is contended that if Secretary Rusk's intended prohibition is effected no country will suffer so much from the absence of pure-bred British lire stock as the United States. A Widow and Her Children Killed and Burned Dy a Firm Hand. Alexandria, Va., Nov, 27. Special Tuesday morning before last the house of the widow of James Kines, on the Warren ton Branch Railroad, just above Calverton, was burned, and tho remains of Mrs. Kines and her two girls were found in the debris, showing every trace of a foul mur der. Lee Hefin, a farm hand, and Joseph Dye, with whom he lived, were arrested, Heflin having first reported the fire with out going near the house. Detectives and Fauquier authorities have worked hard on the case, and last night the evidence was so strong against the accused that Judge Keith ordered them taken into the country and then to Alexandria by the first train for safe keeping. The Warrenton people declared they would either lynch or burn the guilty ones at a stake. Coming down Heflin confessed, saying he went to Mrs. Kines' and asked for money and on being refused proceeded to open her trunk. She pulled him away and he picked up a stick of wood and killed.her, and when the children began crying and making a noise he killed them each after tbe same manner. He got the monev, washedthe blood Irom his shoes and cloth ing, hfd his plunder and went about his work. Next day he went back, and finding the bodies as he left them fired the house and when well ablaze informing others, say ing he feared going near as he was a stranger thereabouts. He exonerated Dye. Henin is about 30 and is a typical countryman from Stafford. He seems wholly uncon cerned bnt perfectly sane. How 30 Passengers Lost Their Lives. St. Petersburg, Nov. 27. Detailed ac counts of Tuesday's accident on the Orel Graise Railroad, by which 30 persons lost their lives, are now being received. A bridge was the scene of the disaster.

Every body here is intensely excited because of advices that several of the native tribes north of Grant Cape Mount have rebelled against Siberian authority and placed them selves under the protection of the English at Sierra Leone. The advisability of send ing an armed expedition against these peo ple is now considered by the President and his Cabinet officers. The best informed are disposed to believe that thev have been en couraged to act thus by the English. A Bed-Coat Veteran of 1812. Lokbok, Nov. 27. The centenary of the birth of Thomas Wiltshire Summersum, who fought in the American War of 1812, was celebrated at Brightlingsea yesterday with a banquet.

Special Brewer Peter Breidt, of this city, accompanied by Legrand Spencer, his engineer, and August Wirth, were returning from a social visit to Matin Hess, owner of the Cranford Hotel, Thanksgiving night. When near Roselle they were stopped by three masked high waymen, who, jumping from some bushes beside the road, seized the horse's bridle and called on the occupants of the carriage to hand over their money and valuables. The answer the robbers got was a sur prise, as Engineer Spencer suddenly leaped Irom the vehicle, pitched into the" biggest of the footpads, and although he has only one arm, the telling blows he struck sent the robber sprawling and took all the fight out of him. The fellow scrambled to Tiis feet and lost no time in plunging into the bushes whence he had emerged. Spencer's companions meanwhile had followed his in spiring example and tackled the other two highwaymen, whom they speedily put to flight The footpad Spencer thrashed left a new hat behind him.

The brothers met on .the front porch and James, without a word of warning, sprang on his brother and plunged the knife into his neck. Patrick tried to escape, but be fore he could do so the knife had been plunged into him seven times. James then dropped the knife and ran away. Patrick crawled into the house and sank upon the kitchen floor, where he was found a few minutes afterward by his sister. On seeing her brother on the floor she gave a shriek whioh aroused the neighbors, who notified the police. Patrick lived a short time only. James was arrested later in the afternoon. rsrlCTAI.

The Officers of the Suspended Bank Prom ise an Early Resumption. Irwin, Nov. 27. Special. If the posi tive announcement made yesterday by some of the newspapers, that the banking house of Peter S. Pool & Son would re-open its doors to-morrow morning were accepted by those most interested, their fond hopes will not be realized. This banking house will not resume to-morrow, and according to a statement given to The Dispatch corres pondent this afternoon bv Cashier S. E. Pool, the precise date will not be made .known. Mr. Pool simply, but very em phatically, said: "We will positively resume in a few days and pay dollar for dollar. I will say, how ever, it will not be on Saturday. I will not say it will not be on Monday; you can see why." Then the cashier added significantly: "But all arrangements are being attended to, and we will be prepared to meet any check." Townspeople show an utter lack of in terest in the proceedings, being apparently not at all uneasy. Latest reports show the deposits foot up $125,000, the larger portion of which is located within a radius of eight miles. It includes building and loan as sociations, societies, wealthv farmers, business men, mechanics, laborers and coal miners, the last named not being least. Many of the miners have saved from S100 to 51,000, and as some of the heavier miner depositors are foreigners the present apathv is surprising. It is generally be lieved" here the bank will resume early in the week, and the desire of the officials to keep the exact date secret is to avoid the certain rush of small depositors. Sheriff sale notices are posted consplouously throughout the region, stating that the ef fects of James White will be sold at auc tion for the benefit of P. S. Pool and others. Some say tho bank may not resume until its mouey is realized from this sale. A Man's Body Cnt in Two. YorrNGSTOWSr, Nov. 27. Special.

At a G. A. R. banquet in Brooklyn last night General Palmer said: "There is no class men on God's earth that are half so appreciated for their gallantry and valor or that so reflected credit on American valor, and whom we are so willing to forgive, as the soldiers ot the South. Bnt we cannot forget the loss of hundreds of millions of money and the lives of hundreds of thousands of men who are now lying in their graves because of the rebellion. "But doing honor to the people of the South they should not confront us with that stinking old rag of treason. I believe that the men who were in the struggle at the front want no more fighting, but when we listen to the young scions who say that the Confederacy is to them an inspiration, and that they will avenge the pause of their sol diers, it is too much to hear in silence. Loy alty to the Stars and Stripes will ever nerve us in the cause of the Union." Only a Few Hours of Wedded Bliss. YorrNGSTOWir, Nov.27. Special John Nelble, a stonemason, was married yester day afternoon to Mrs. Wasser, a,widow, and after the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride, in- whioh beer was served.
