NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS
Berlej, Nov. 2a The long-looked-for
CTent of the present session of the Keich
ita; occurred to-day. The army bill was
Introduced by Chancellor Ton Caprivi, who
made a most important speech upon the re
lations existing between France and Ger
many. He said he did not intend to justify
the bill by 'referring to a war in Bight or by
Indulging in gloomy forbodings. He added:
I will disclose tuo whole truth. We aie
at peace with all nations and encounter no
difficulty in any quarter In maintaining the
dignity of tbe nation. His Majesty, the Em
poror, has justlv remaiked that Heligoland
was the last piece of tho globe wo desired to
acquire Germanv will not provoke war,
for there is no prize to gain by victory; but
neither will she undertake to prevent mar
any more than she did in 1S70.
The Chancellor then referred to the al
leged forgery by Prince Bismarck of the
famous Ems dispatch, which precipated the
Franco-German war, and read the genuine
dispatch, which reads:
The King writes me as follows: "Benedittl
(the French Ambassador to Germanv) in
tercepted me on my promenade and finally
asked me iu a very pressing manner to au
thorize him to telegraph to his Government
at once that I bound myseir Tor all time
never to again accoid my sanction in the
event of Princo Leopold of Honenzollern
reverting to his candidature to the throne
of Spain. I at length declined, somewhax
sternly, to listen to him lurtlicr. as one
ought not and could not enter a tout jamais
into engagements ot this kind."
The Telegram to Foreign Powers.
The king has since received a letter from
Prince Leopold. The King, in view of the
demand referred to, lesolved upon the ad
vice of Count von Eulenburg and myself
not to see Bcneditti again, but to merely in
lorm him thiough his adjutant that the
King had received from Prince Leopold a
letter confirming tho news Benedittl al
ready had from Paris, and the King had
iiotninir more to say to the Ambassador
The King leaves Your Excellency to de
cide whether lieneditti's now demand and
its rejection should not be immediately
communicated to the Ambassador and the
pies.
The Chancellor also read the draft Prince
Bismarck prepared, which appeared in the
Rvrtli German Gazette of July 13, 1870, and
which read as follows:
Telegrami addressed by the Prussian Gov
ernment to foreign governments: After the
news of tbeienuociatiou or the hereditary
Prince of Hohenzollern bad been officially
communicated to the Imperial French Gov
ernment by the Boyal Spanish Government,
the French Ambassador at Etuslurther de
manded of Ills 3Iajety, the King ol Prussia,
to authorize him to telegraph to Paris that
His Majesty, the King, engage for all future
time never again to give his consent if the
Holienzolicrns should again return to tbelr
candidature.
His Majesty, the King, thereupon declined
to receive the Flench Ambassador again, and
bad him told by the adjutant in attendance
that His Majesty bad nothing further to
communicate to the Ambassador.
M here Prince Bismarck Prevaricated.
The last paragraph of .the above is what
Prince Bismarck alleges he forged with the
intention of wounding so the amour propre
ot Prance that she would declare war
against Germany and thus allow him, in the
event ot Prussian Tictory, to bring about
the formation ot a German empire. Chan
cellor von Caprivi declared emphatically
that Prince Bismarck had not falsified the
dispatch, and that it was untrue that King
"William was too conciliatory or had not
struck the proper note in dealing with
Prance.
King William, he said, even as late as
July 1, 1871, had the dispatch sent to the
German Minister at Paris, intimating that
he was indignant at the Due de Gram
znont's demand addressed to him through
M. Benedetti, and reserved any further
steps. The whole of Europe was of the
same opinion as Germany at that time, as
shown by Mr. Gladstone's declaration and
Prince Gortchakoffs dispatch to the Rus
sian Ambassador. The Chancellor con
tinued: I refer to these matters In order to show
tbut Germany did not play a provocative
part. The French love wars and glory, and
the more complete their aimaments the
stronger grows their self-consciousness and
desire to conclude an alliance, naturally not
for defensive purposes, but with a view to a
revision or the map of Europe.
Chancellor von Caprivi's speech was
greeted with loud applause by the sup
porters of the Government.
The Chancellor Afraid of Russia.
"Referring to Kusso-German relations the
Chancellor said:
Friendship has existed between Germany
and Russia lor centuries past, and the Em
peror Alexander himself was an important
personage in the maintenance of these
friendly relations. The present Czar is one
of the noblest minded and most peacef nl of
monarebs and appreciates the peaceful and
loyal policy or Germany. Theie are
In Bnssla, however, hostile cur
rents working against us, which
since the successful achievement of Ger
man arms and diplomacy, have risen above
tbe interests ol llussia. Yet it must not be
concluded, because Russia is developing her
army, that war is imminent. We must as
sume from her preparations thatKussla's
next war will be to the westwaid. These
Siecaratlons arouse no anxiety at present;
ut while slow, their couise has been steady
and sure.
Theie is, undeniably, arapnroaclvmentbe
tween Russia and France. We must think
of war with the probability of having to
present two fronts. If Russia wished to go
to war she would be sure or the alliance of
France; but if France wished to go to war
tbe alliance of Russia with Franco would be
an open question. In either case, Russia
rnnst occupy the attention of a portion of
onr forces. We are not prepared for such an
exigency. Wo would have to defendoursel ves
against superior numbers. Our it hole post,
tion among the nations depends upon our
military strength. We have the highest
opinion of our allies, and the drelbund Is
nowhere so popular as In Germany.but even
tho drelbund Is weaker in troops than are
France and Russia. Gormany must always
take tbo chief burden upon herself, because
she must watch to frontiers. Germany
has lost her military supremacy since 1870,
not br tho fault of the Government, or of the
army or tho Reichstag, but because tho
conqueror is less Inclined to make sacrifices
than the conquered.
PANAMA. CANAL MANEUVSJIS.
The Minority Strives for Better Represen
tation on the Communion.
PAEIS, Nov. 23. The three Conserva
tives and six members of the Left who were
elected by tbe Chamber of Deputies as
members of the Panama Canal Investiga
tion Committee, and who subsequently re
signed, proposed to be re-elected to-day and
to have the commission completed by the
election of more member- ot the Bight who
would be nominated by their colleagues.
Hi is improbable that the Chamber will
assent to" the motion of M. Pourquery de
Boisserin, to invest the committee with the
powers of an examining magistrate. The
Government will oppose it on the ground
that were such rowers granted it
wouid create confusion between the Execu-.
tivc and. Judicial powers. Advices re
ceived here from Bogota show that the
Columbian House ot Representatives are
considering the request to prolong the Pan
ama Canal concession. A favorable decis
ion is expected in a fortnight.
GLADSTONE GIVES IN.
Be "Will Give the Radicals' Franchise Bill
Precedence Oier Home Rule.
IiOJTDON, Nov. 23. A report 'is receiving
general credence in the National Liberal
Club that the Cabinet has surrendered to
Kadical pressure, and will introduoe in
Parliament a bill to reform the franchise
before the Irish home rule bill is sub
mitted. It is said that Mr. Gladstone relies
upon persuading the Irish party to accede
to this course by showing that the financial
proposals contained in the home rule bill,
which proposals are an essential part of the
scheme, cannot be successfully treated until
near the close of the financial year.
The delay in the home rule bill neces
sarily involved bv this scheme will irritate
the Irish party" but they will acquiesce,
confident in their ability to overpower the
Government within a week after they be
come convinced that any treachery toward
them is intended. The franchise bill will
provide for a shorter period of residence to
qualify voters, and will otherwise simplify
the suffrage qualification. It will also facili
tate tbe admission of new voters. The
abolition of the plural voting system will
be included in another bill to be introduced
subsequently.
DEMOCRACY IN SWEDEN.
Liberals "Will Contest Elections for a More
Extended Franchise.
Stockholm, Nov. 23. The general
elections'for members of the Diet will take
place at the opening of 1893. The leading
question to be decided is that ot the fran
chise. The Liberal Franchise League, which has
numerous branches throughout the country,
demands that all persons having an income
of il40 a year be qualified to vote. At
present scarcely 6 per cent of the popula
tion are qualified, as only those having an
income tax or having a yearly income of
$225 have the right to vote.
LOOKS I IKE A LOTTESY.
Xon-Partlsans Hold the Balance of Power
in the California Legislature.
Sa- Francisco, Nov. 23. Special
The Non-Partisans or Independents will
hold the balance of power in the California
Legislature this winter, and will de
termine whether a Democrat or a
Republican shall succeed Felton in the
United States Senate. The full returns
show that both the old parties lack a ma
jority on joint ballot. Iu the Senate the
Republicans have 22 and the Democrats 18;
in the Assembly the Bepublicans have 32,
Democrats 38, Populists 3 and non-partisan 1.
The Bepublicans lack seven of a majority
on joint ballot, and the Democrats lack five.
This throws the balance of power into the
hands of seven non-partisans, who are di
vided on regular party lines. No one can
ascertain their preferences, so the Cali
fornia Senatorial election strongly resembles
a lottery.
ELW00D PEOPLE NOT ECAKED.
They "Will Try to Make Their Tin Plate
Shop the Biggest iu America.
Elvtood, Ijjd., Nov, 23. The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Ameri
can Tin Plate Company was held in this city
to-day. President A. L. Conger, of Akron,
made the annual report.
The company will proceed to work at an
early day to enlarge and increase tbe ca
pacity ot the factory to a six-mill plant;
and will also increase the capacity of the
tinning department, as the stockholders
and management are determined to make
the American Tin Plate Factory the
largest plant ot its kind in America.
The works are now shut down, undergoing
repairs, but will start up again in about
two weeks. The Impression seemed to
prevail among tbe stockholders that the
change in the National administration
would not seriously aSect the business ot
the company.
NOT A BAY TO MAKE BAIN.
General Dyrcnfurtb. Thought It 'Would
Pour Down Yesterday Anyhow,
San Antonio, Nov. 2a Special The
rain-making experiments did not begin
here to-day as was expected. The weather
indications were favorable for rain, and
General B. G. Dyrenfurth decided to post
pone the bombardment until Friday. In
the meantime large quantities of explosive
material are being placed on the ground,
350 pounds of roselite beng mixed to-day
ready for use.
Some interesting tests were made yester
day of the strength of Boselite when used
in shells constructed of Manilla shells. The
shells were fired from a mortar to a height
of 2,000 feet, when they exploded with
terrific force. Two hundred ot these shells
will be used in the proposed experiment.
HOW SAFE IN JAIL.
The Five Young Bobbers of Erie Brought to
Pittsburg and Imprisoned.
The five youths who robbed a savings
bank at Erie recently, and were tried and
convicted during the present week, were in
this city last night, but were safely locked
up in the county jail. They are Charles "W.
Smith, Thomas Conway, Daniel T. Evans,
Thomas McDonald and Harry "Wilson,
whose a;es range from 1C to 19 years.
The charges against them a'ro burglary,
assault with intent to commit robbery, be
ing armed with offensive weapons and re
ceiving stolen goods. The boys were all
sentenced to the Huntingdon Beformatory,
and are in charge of a deputy sheriff of
Erie county, who will continue on his way
there to-day.
MEXICO'S GSAIN DUTIES SESTOBED.
President Diaz' Order Canses an Enormous
Bosh of Corn That "Way.
City of Mexico, Nov. 2a President
Diaz made the official announcement to-day
that the Mexican Government will restore
the import duty on grain December 1, and
instructions were immediately given to
railroad lines in the United States and
shippers to have the corn now en route
rushed across the border before the duty be
comes effective.
There has been a great rush of grain ship
ments into the republic during the last few
days and another serious blockade is threat
ened ou the Mexican National and Mexican
Central.
GIBLS SCABE OFF A BUEOLAB,
The Fellow Chased by Neighbors to His
Boarding House, Whero He Is Done Up.
Hazelton, Pa., Nov. 2a A Hunga
rian last night tried to rob the house of
Owen Evans at Beaver Brooks. Three
girls who were in the house frightened him
oil The neighbors were aroused, and the
man was chased to his boarding house.
This proved to be a Hungarian shanty with
more than a score of occupants.
When the citizens came up a fierce fight
followed during, which several men were
severely injured. The culprit was 'found
to-day by an officer. His condition was so
weak from wounds that an arrest could
not be made.

HOW THE BIG TEAMS WILL, LINE UP
New York, Nov. 23. The pride of Yale
and Princeton 'varsities are to-night
tucked snugly under the coverlets of the
Fifth Avenue and Murray Hill Hotels re
spectively, and Father Knickerbocker is
nursing carefully the bit of printed paste
board wherewith to feast his eyes upon the
struggle of the morrow. Blue neckwear
and orange chrysanthemums are in pleas

lic resort, for each train from the wilds of

lege. They are all "rooters" and will form
part of the 30,000 or more of iheir kind who
will gather at Manhattan field to witness
the "fray."'
Everybody knows there is but one fray
on Thanksgiving Day that on the football
field between Yale and Princeton 'varsities.
Yale and Princeton have played 16 games
of football together, of which Yale has won
9 and Princeton 6. One match that of
1877 resulted in a tie. The teams meet to-
s&s

morrow under conditions which have no
precedent in the history of these annual
matches. Hitherto, with two exceptions,
each team has been up to Thanksgiving
Day an undefeated one, and these two ex
ceptions were both occasioned by a Harvard
victory.
M The Flayers Kept In Trim.
This year Princeton has been defeated by
the University of Pennsylvania, which,
previous to the present season, has never
been seriously considered in the struggle
for the championship, and Yale reaches
Thanksgiving Day for the second year in
succession without a point having been
scored against her by any of her rivals.
At their quarters in this city tho athletes
are closely watched and carefully cared for
as so many pieces of Sevres ware. And in
a way these Brobdingnagians of the turf are
aB fine as Sevres. They will stand a great
deal rougher handling though, and they are
almost warranted not to break.
"When Yale's representatives climbed
aboard the 3 o'clock train from New Haven
this afternoon,, the usual demonstrations of
enthusiasm accompanied their departure.
Each ot the individual members of the
team, tbe captain, the manager, the coach
ers and the eleven as a whole, were included
in the applause. At the depot cheers were
also given for "A clean record for the
season," a sentiment which was greeted
with thundering response. A similar
demonstration teas made by Princeton when
the G:40 train rolled out of the depot and
the Tigers could ask for no better send-ofE
How the Teams Compare.
A comparison of the two teams may be
made as Iollows: Yale has had to show her
full strength to her rival in the game with
Harvard ot that there is no doubt, what
ever statements may be made to the con
trary. Princeton must as&uredly have
gained some advantage'from seeing her op
ponents play In a closely contested game,
but this advantage is more than off-set by
the experience which the Yale men ac
quired at Springfield. This experience
was particularly valuable to Yale in that
she had several green men on her team, and
the lessons they learned from the Harvard
game make them almost veterans for
Thursday's contest. Between the value of
watching such a game as that at Spring
field and playing in it. there can be no com
parison; and if Princeton rests her hope in
the knowledge of Yale's play acquired in
watching the Harvard game, her chances
lor victory are indeed slim.
As a team the Yale men are In as good
condition as can be desired. The only weak
spot in the entire eleven is Laurie' Bliss'
weak knee, and this has been improving
wonderfully since the Harvard game. He
is likely to be able to play the whole game
unless the unexpected occurs.
At the beginning of the season Princeton
was playing well It is true that she was
to a great extent playing a "one man"
game, with King for the man; but there was
a snap about the work that augered well for
the development of an eleven worthy of
Princeton's former football reputation. As
the season wore on Princeton's team im
proved, the interference was good, the de
fense exceedingly strong and the center
work equal to anything seen on the football
field tor years. Then the men began to
overestimate their strength and to mistake
promise for perfection.
Princeton's Becent Hard Work.
Accidents added to the harm already done
by over-confidence until a crippled team
found itself facing an opponent whose
powers it underestimated and disaster fol
lowed. Princeton has only played one
game since its defeat at Manbeim, and that
against Orange and the score against that
team (23 to 0) undoubtedly convinced tbe
Princetonians that a thorough reform was
urgently needed. Since that time Prince
ton has done more playing and less talking.
The management wisely cancelled the game
with Cornell and devoted itself to nursing
tho injured players and giving the able
bodied ones the best of coaching and prac
tice. The result of this reformation will be
doubtless visible to-morrow.
Princeton, as had been said, had early in
the season good material for a first-obus
eleven. This material has been well handled
by Harris.;Poe, Moffat t, Biggs, Donnellv
A .U.. ...k U I-. 1.... !,-. xl.-. I

W
injured men Have recovered, and all over
confidence ha vanished.
Yale will play the same men which rep
resented her at Springfield. Hinkey, Yale's
star left end, will find that he lias a real
football player to deal with in Trenchard,
whose work is not unlike that of his oppo
nent. This man is a sure tackle, who pays
strict attention to business aud never fusses
with his adversary. Of the new -men on
Princeton's team Trenchard is easily the
best. He works hard and is in every play
to the best possible advantage. Hinkey
found his match in Hallowell and Trenchard
is apt to give him quite as much trouble.
Not Much Choice Between Them.
Winter and Harrold have faced each
other before. Last year Harrold was
young, green and pugnacious and the Yale
man played all around his opponent, draw
ing him out at will and continually using him
as an open door by which the oall was passed
through toward Princeton's line. Harrold
has improved considerably, but be faces
one of the finest tackles in the country, and
Princeton is apt to be outplayed at this
point Hall at right guard faces Yale's
youngster McCrea. Neither Hall nor Mc
Crea are ideal guards. The Yale man

quickly at Springfield' and was slow at
breaking through, but "Waters was one of
Harvard's best men and the plaving of
Hall is more in McCrea's class. Neither
side should obtain much advange there.
Stillman faced a difficult man on Satur
day, and a task no less onerous awaits him
to-"morro-. It is hard to see how Lewis'
nlav at Snrinefield could be improved upon.
but Balliet has the necessary weight and is
a no less skillful snapback than the Harvard
player. Stillman's increased experience
and Balliet's want of practice (ho has been
laid ofl for the last three weeks) may help
to even up matters, bnt the chances are that
McCormick will be hampered by Balliet's
work with Stillman, who will be'outpiayed
by his Princeton opponent.
Their Powers Will Be Taxed.
Wheeler played well against Morrison a
year ago, and will doubtless tax the powers
of Yale's young right guard, Hickok, tothe
utmost. Hickok, however, will be no- easy
opponent for his more experienced rival.
He faced Mackie without flinching, and
although he often let him throuch the line
too easilv, he fought gameljr and learned
some useful lessons at Springfield. Both
players arc aggressive, and the fi;ht at this
position will be worth watching. "Wallis
and Lea are matched at right and left
tackle, and here the Yales should excel.
Wallis is almost an ideal tackle and a
ground gainer of exceptional ability. His
opponent is a new man, well built tor the
position, which he plays cleverly, but he
is outclassed by "Wallis.
Grcenway is fortunate in having no
stronger opponent than Bandolph to face.
In the Springfield game Grcenway did well
and held his own against his heavy rival
Emmons. Bandolph is only a substitute at
best, and although he plays well be is not

freshman. Should King return to his old
position at quarter back, as it is now le
ported he will do, this position will be
strengthened; but the general affect of the
Princeton team will not be good, as the
best runner will thus be placed where his
powers cannot be used as effectively as they
could be at half back. L. Bliss has no
equal for brilliancy on the football field,
unless it be King.
Bliss Has an Advantage
C. D. Bliss and Poe play the same styje
of game, but the former has the advantage
in weight. At full back, Butterworth must
improve in catching if his playing is not to
be a constant menace to Yale. His mufls at
Springfield were lrequent and it is only due
to good fortune that is was not more costly
than they were. In this respect Homnns,
provided he plays the game he dldv last
year, will outclass the Yale man. In punt
ing, Homans perhaps will also have a little
the better of it, but if Princeton does not
break through too quickly on Butter or th
an exchange of kicks will not net the Jer
sey men more than a five-van I gain.
Comment on the playing of the Yale men
as a team is unnecessary. The furious
sweep of their line and the speed ot their
backs have been rehearsed many times al
ready this season, and their strength and
skill' are everywhere acknowledged. But
compared individually the choice between
the Yale and Princeton teams is slight, and
and remembering their play early in the
season, it will not be wise to predict a dis
astrous defeat for the orange and black.
For the last three weeks Princeton has
kept very quiet always a good sign and
the men worked hard and conscientiously.
It will not do to compare scores and deduct
conclusions therefrom. The Yale men have
done remarkably well with their material
this year, but their work is not yet com
pleted, and a hard fought game awaits them
on Thanksgiving Day. It Yale wins to
morrow she will have to earn her victory,
for the true indications are that the game
of 1892 will be no walk-o'ver for the cham
pions, though the favorite bet to-night is
even money that Princeton won't score.

DETAILS OP THE LABOE HADE PUBLIC
IfTtCtXX. TBLXORA1I TO THK DISFXTCR.l
New Yobk, Nov. 21 Bev. Charles H.
Parkhurst and a corps of 1,137 assistants
are going to complete a map of this city,
showing the position and character of every
house within tbe municipal limits, together
with the names and status of the occupants.
This enterprise is to be prosecuted under
the auspices of the City "Vigilance League,
a new organization, somewhat resembling
the Society for the Prevention of Crime.
Dr. Parkhurst is President of theorganiza
tion, and at a meeting heldin Judson Me
morial Hall to-night he gave an outline of
the policy of the league. He said:
"Our immediate need is of 1.137 men of
honest spirit and durable stuff who will un
dertake to represent, respectively, each of
the election districts into which this city is
sub-divided. The first duty of the district
supervisor will be to prepare a careful and
accurate chart of his district, drawnon the
scale of 25 feet to the inch. The chart will
show the name of the brewer under whose
patronage the saloon is run, the
general character of the place, the relations
subsisting between it and the policeman on
the beat or the captain ot the precinct
which is hard to get at," Bays the Doctor,
"but most interesting when you do get at it
whether the saloon is kept open in illegal
hours or whether it sells to minors; whether
it has a license, and, if so, when its license
expires. Tbe tabulation will also include a
statement as to all disorderly houses, pool
rooms and policy shops and gambling houses
in the district
"In this connection," added Dr. Park
hurst with much feeling, "it is expressly
urged that no district supervisor should do
anything that can be construed as com
promising his own personal character."
When Dr. Parkhurst took his seat a
young man named Lawton addressed the
meeting and told how easy it was to make a
map. He had made one, and he said he
woaldshow it to anyone who would like to
get pointers on the neighborhood. When
he dismissed the meeting Dr. Parkhurst
called for volunteers to make maps and to
become "district supervisors."
