and patty movements which are less scon by
the public all tend to consolidate Chancellor
von Caprlvi's position und assure the passage -
ago of the nrmy bill. The Frulsslnnleo and
Blsmarcitlan papers pretend to bcjlovo that
thochancclloi's position is untenable. Every
day the opposition produces a fresh rumor us
to who his successor will bo. The latest
nominee of the ant ! Caprlvi faction was
ex-Minister von Putkamor. who was
named becausg iho opposition ooulil
nssoclalcd Him with a current rumor that
Emperor William Intended to return to a
strong reactionist policy if the nrmy bil
should bo dcfcutod. The Emporoi felt the
report to bo offensive nnd caused an ofllcla
denial of it to ba made In the Uoichsnnzigcr.
It stated that Ilcrr von Putknmcr has not
for seine tlmo oven been received by his
majesty. The fact Is that the chancellor's
position has become strengthened by iho
open r.dhcimon of some of the party leaders ,
and the private adhcnsion of others.
Dr. Buhl , a national liberal , has won tbo
' chancclloi's thanks by promising that his
party will support ell the military demands
I necessary for the safety of Iho empire. Tbo
t Uolcbsanzigcr took Dr. Buhl's statement as
committing the national liberals to the support -
[ port of the army bill. Next Herr Ifosficlski ,
[ in the name of the Polish group , announced
[ that Ihov would vote to grant anything that
[ would contribute to unllo and strengthen
[ Germany.
With regard to the center party , It Is no
llonger a secret that a majority of the mem-
Ibors of tbo group , resenting thu Vatican's
Ipro-Frcncb policy , nro treating the clerical
[ attempts to influeuco the party to defeat the
Ipovornmont's scheme of nrmy rcorcanlzation
las a hostile Intrigue against German unity.
[ So marked is the feeling of many centrists
Ingalnst Iho interference o ( the vutlcnn , which
FIs attributed to the popo's hostility to
'tho ' tripls alllanco , that ccrtfln Cath
olic bishops ndvlsed Cardinal Kampollu ,
papal secretary of stnte , that n revolt of
the party against the clerical leaders was im
minent if the interference was persisted in.
The Vatican hus , consequently , assented to
leaving the center party to follow whatever
[ 7ours > o it pleases. This implies n tcmpoinry
- in the party. Thirty-four of Iho south-
I cm members of the center will vote with the
[ opposition , and the seventy-six others with
llho government. Thus reinforced , the do-
If cat , of tbo bill scorns impossiolo. The
fir.cjsuro is expected to p.iss its first rending
! December U. As the Christmas recess bo-
i gins on the 10th , the bill will not go to tbo

British steamer Lake Huron from Montrc.il
passed there Jjuliday morning having In tow

which sailed from Bremen for Now York

The representative of the Associated

from Bremen from the Xqrlh Ccnnau ? l-.lo.vd
Steamship company , stating that the steamer
Havel will sail to-norrow from Bremen for
Queenstown , whcro she will take on board
the Spree's passengers nnd malls nnd convey
them to Now York.
The Spree's main shaft broke down No

which Immediately Hllod with water. The
p.isscngois thought the vessel was going to
the bottom and ru hod on dock. For a tlmo
n veritable p.unc prevailed and the ofllcors
were helpless to calm the fears prevailing.
The water could hu heard rushlni ; through
thn hole In Iho bottom nnd in a short time the
vessel bcg.iu to sottlc. The passengers ran
hlthcrund thitbcrln tbo wildest confusion and
when they saw that thn vessel was not
immediately going to the bottom the coun
scls or the oniccrs nnd the moro cool-headed
among their own number prcvuiled nud a
semblance of order was restored. Life pre
servers were in treat rrqucst and many of
the passengers kept them close at hand even
when it became known- that thcrd was no
immediate dancer.

As soon as the accident occurred the boat's
crov\s wcro placed at their stations nnd
everything wns put. in readiness for the
abandonment of the vessel should such a
course bo deemed ti c& > saay. The stewards
uusled themselves in getting provisions to
the boats , and overvthing that prudent
seamanship would dictate was done. It
wns shortly soon , however , that tha water

for which they were constructed , und
that , though iho water wns pouring Into the
compartment beneath the second cubln , very
llttlo was gottlng into the other compart

the steamer loH little of her iiuoyuhcy , and
when it was stated by the ofllcors that all
danger of smklne was past the passengers
became calm and joked with each other
about the fears they had so shortly enter
tained.
Whan the accident occurred the Sproa
was about 100 miles from Queenstown. Tno
Lake Huron towed her this distance back.
The Spree leaked BO badly that it was im

cal circles variously comment on the appoint-
meet of Cardinal Seratlno Yunnutclll as

Intorprolor of the Austrian policy as records

[ The pope has wished by n decisive act lc
bhow that ho will never be turned aside from

Cable-Special to THE BCD , | Prussia
today found Its Panama scandal in the
.Moablt criminal court , when , after having
bcon taunted for lack of veracity. Hector
Ahlwarut produced live olllcial documents ,
which proved to ba reports made by colonels
to their gcnoraUndvorso to the LOMVO puns.
Those must hnvo boon stolen , probably by
some officer , who , If found out , Is llaulo lo
ton years pannl servitude.
A greater scandal , a more sensational
episode , cannot luivo occurred. I
have never seen groalor consternation
than that which struck the rdrgo gathering
of deeply interested persons. The army
ofllcers , who ucro present In largo numbers ,
munv of high rank , were simply aghaat.
They first looked Incredulous , but when tbo
} udio ; had examined the documents and pro
nounccd them authentic their dismay kno\v
no bounds.
In a mlnuto or two the news roachoJ the
crowd In the corridor , and thence spread to
the street and all ever the city. People of
nil ranks rushed lo Iho court lo llnd out if
such a serious scandal could possibly bo
true. Telegraphic messages were ut once
sent to the emperor , who is shooting in Sax
ony , to apprise him of Ibo siarlling develop
ments and the blow which had fallen on the
armv.
Dramatic lu a lllgli Icireo.
The scene in court wns highly dramatic
Ahlwardt had just expressed his r.'grot that
the army officers on their oaths should have
boon mistaken in saying no official reports
ndvciso to Iho LOJWO guns had been made.
" \Vho are you , " Ihundered tbo judge ,
"who dara to talk thus of the officers who
hnve taken Ibo oath lo tell the truth I' '
"Here uro my proofs , " replied Ahlwardt.
taking the papers from his pockets and hold
ing them up.
The public prosecutor suggested they
should bo read at once.
Ahlwardt in a low clear voice said : ' 'I
have been accused of being unpatriotic with
out reason. The documents I hold , if road
publicly , would bo damaging to uiy couniry.
Therefore I ask tbo court to bo cleared and
the rending to be private. If tbo president
will fiance over thorn , I am confident ho will
agree with mo. "
Amid dead silence the pnporsvoro.handea
to the president. As ho read thorn his face
became very serious , finally ho said :
Too Important lur tuo 1'ublic.
"Tho papers laid before mo ore very im
portant to the state and should net bo read
In open court. "
Tno room was then cleared and tbo court
remained in camera two hours.
The documents show thnt out of 900 Loowo
gun ? used at Wossel 59J wcro unserviceable ,
twenty of Ibo chambers burst and ten broke
entirely.
Tbefa were thrio general oniccrs In the
court , representing tto minister of war , wheat
at once sent news to War Minister Kalten-
born. Cbiof of Staff SehlifTen and Count von
Caprlvi.
Tbo revelations hit Loowo hard and his
director , Colonel ICuehno , really seemed l
quite overcome at the unexpected blow.
I'nvato Conniimnm Condemn the ( inns.
Another witness , a Hamburg merchant ,
said the minister of foreign ntlairs had sent
a consignment of Loowo guns to Kast Africa.
The witness had just received n letter from
tbo loader ot the expedition , saying :
"Send at ones moro guns , but not the
Loewo , They break like glass. "
Loowo protested the case was not proved ,
( Jun Mechanic Kiamer , who hud worked in
the Locwo fartory , said ho could if the
court wished , point out the defects ir
the inoacl gun , lying on the table , and salt :
1,080 out ot 5,000 of the guns were defective ,
nnd that Colonel ICuehno technically hnev
U. The Dresden Edllor Glees testified thai
AUiwardt made no money out of the Loewc
brochure. Also that 110 witnesses , officer ;
and soldiers from Saxony , would coma tc
testify to iho worthlcssncss of the guns.
It must bo remembered there nio 43riOOI

The kaiser and the governor of Pomeranla ,
Bnron Von Puttknmcr , have had uu inter
view , a fact which has given rlso to all sorts
of reports. There is no political significance
in It , however , nor does it moan iho Immedi
ate'overthrow of Caprlvi. Puttkamor is u
possible candidate at any moment for a
Inch ministerial .position. . Ho is much
liked by the emperor , who owes him much
lor past service which the knlser has not lor-
gotten. 1 refer to the services rendered dur
ing tl.o brio ! and cjriticul reign of Emperor
Fredeilck , Tbo Kaiser has several times
said to his most intimate followers : "Putt-
kamer bin yob noch o was schuldig. " Cer
tainly the emperor jshfcws every uesiro to ex
press his appraclatlon'of so devoted a frlond ,
who stands ns bright in the conserv
ative party as at court. Putt-
kamor's audience 'lasted ' r.o less than
three hours , a fact that cast dismay into the
Caprlvinn camp. What transpired during
these three hours is merely a matter of
rumor. Ono Ihing is certain. It was ouo of
tbo cmperoi-'s honest efforts to arrive at the
truth or the political situation from nn un
biased , independent mind.
"Shall I ever fet at the truth" Is the con
stant remark of the kaiser. Her tries very
hard , hut tbo truth is bard to Una with the
men who surround'him. '
The Cologne VolKszeitung , in the course

that the press of tUm > country seems enor

says that in the dayr'of yore Blolcbrocdor
used to nppointjthcf'Horald correspondents
at Berlin. The absurdity of tbo idea would
seem to need no comment , but the Hep-

takes UD the cudgel in behalf of the Herald ,
and gives the Cologne paper and others of

Discussing Drolhuiut Alliurrf.
In my previous letter I mentioned the
anxiety felt in the highest circles here at the
lack of enthusiasm shown by Austria and
Italy toward excessive military prepara
tions. Now a Hamburg paper takes up the
subject , and says that the chancellor Is in
different to the support of Italy , and that ho
will soon make a communication to that
effect in the Reichstag.
I have been giving the question some nt
tantion , and the result of my inquiry is that
this way of putting it Is false. Caprlvi will
In all probability defend the financial condi.
tiou of Italy and explain the military position ,
*
which does not satisfy him in the
least. In the meantime thu Rclchan-
zolgor , to begin with , will reproduce all
articles of the foreign press , above all those
of Austria und England , which praise the
military bill , but it will not notice , nt the
same time , Iho fact that Austria herself If
not spending the million * she is praising
Germn-iy for doing , nor the proverbial love
which England has of looking on and np
plauding when she sees another country
llnancially coming to destruction.

Cable Special to Tun Due. ! Tuo dally
dispatches keep you posted on the Increasing
scandals In the Panama canal affair , but
there Is ono ignored which Is of equal Im
portance. This Is the Increase of antl-
Scmltism In Europe.
Wo have three facts this week proulng that
Panama canal scandal Is the work of Mr.
Urumont , the author of "L-i Fr.mej Julvo , "
the managing editor of Li Llbru Parole , and
the Inventor of nntl-Sjinitism in franco. Ho
is aided by thu Marquis do Mores , llo Itosps
up his work , striking furiously everywhere
It is possible. He holds that the 13 ink of
Franco is a Hebrew institution , and that is
why ho is so bitter against M. do Lesson *
brlnginc lu tbo Hebrew banker to do busi
ness with him.
Tbo opinion of tbo mijority of psoplo Is
that enough scandalous fortunes have been
raised upon the ruins of the savings of the
public.
It is certain that the nnti-semito cause is
making progress in Franco.
Agitation III Germany and Austria.
In Germany the samophonomonon is seen.
In a rural district the peasants have elootod
this week as deputy Hector Ahlwordt , an
anti-somite of so violent a typo that ho has
boon many times convicted for defamation.
Hector Ahlwordt is the uuthor of the
"Brochux Fusils Jaifs , " in which ho accused
the Prussian ministry of war of furnishing
the army with detcctlvo rilles. The peasants
elected him bcc.iuss they saw In him a pro
tector against the way in which Jews ex
ploit the country.
In Austria , the anti-Semite deputies pro
voke violent scones in Parliament. They
speak without any right to do so of the Pan
ama uffalr , bringing about ministerial intervention
vontion and causing almost a crisis. The
same scenes are witnessed In the jnuniclpal.
council of Vienna , where the numoToiis anti-
Semites protest against the "scandalous
Jewish fortunes" and the veritable oppres
sion by ihe Joulsh banks of commerce and
industry , Austria will bo the lirst country
whore the anti-Semitism crisis will become a
matter of fact.
When the chief laws of a country produce
the same phenomena , there ought to bo the
tame causes. Llko causes produce like
effects. It is curious * to know which is
which.
Rrcourso ol Thosu AVIio Full.
Anti-Semitism is losing the exclusively re
ligious character it bad at first. It is be
coming a social protest against wealth and
speculation. It has not yet pervaded the
bulk of the deputation , but it is the appcn-
nca of these who have failed in life ,
who suffer inspltoof what they have been
taught , and who are aware ot the real char
acter of the social fabric. People who have
. no prejudices demand the application of ex
treme measures. The go back to history for
extreme measures to bo made applicable to
modern times , iloio you have everywhere
the same desire for vongonnco.
The .situation In Franco above all is very
serious , for greater liboriy permits of greater
license , and tbo French temperament renders
possible all kinds of crimes. The ministerial
crisis will come to an end and a presidential
crisis will bo avoided , but a social crisis is
inevitable.
Dnrlccjt Days In Trillion.
Wo are already in open revolution , not
with the rifle , as In 1371 , because nobody has
been guillotined , as in former times : for
executions are repugnant to our civilization ,
but still we are in tbo throes of a revolution.
For we are at iho mercy of the denunciations
of the llrst comer , because tbo deputies who
o innKo tbo laws are the llrst to break thorn ;
| because tbo judges have lost tbo confidence
of tbo public , und because all present signs
point to a tearing up of society.
Every thoughtful person who looks ahead
sees a black cloud hanging ever Europe , anil
blackest of all ever Franco.

rent Constitutional Questions lit Stulcu lu
tlio I'luKiMit Coatro\eisy.
, Dec. 3 , The present crisis is not
merely political , but It is ono in which n
great constitutional question Is at stake.
The Panama canal investigating committee
has shown a disposition to overstep its con
titulional rights. Its demand that the doc
uments lojjo used in the judicial proceedings
be handed over to it , Is recorded as u direct
attack upon tha most conservative and in
violable inbtitution of the judicial power.
M. do Beauropsire's refusal to glvo tbatn m
s approved by all who have not lost their
heads over Iho Panama canal affair.
Had M. Busson , as Lead of the committee
of investigation , been successful in forming
a cabinet , his success would have bcon Inter
preted as an acceptance by the deputies of
: ho conimitlics illegal policy , the result of
which It would have been impossible to fore-
eo. The general apprehension has oven
magnillcd iho pretcn'.ion of the committf
into nn attempt of establishing itself into n
sort of comnntlco of public safety with des
potic powers. Whether these fears are jus
tifiable or not , certain it is that M. Brisson's
success would have been followed by a strug
gle between the cabinet and the judicial au
thorities.
M. do Boaureapiro is resolute in his deter
mination not to yield up the documents. Ilu
is prepared to resign his position as public
prosecutor if the surrender of the documents
Is insisted upon.
M. Brisson's ouonly nvcwed intention of
dif placing M. do Froyclcot and M. Burdeau ,
in the face of popular opposition , also
greatly contributed to his failure , -.vtiicb was
hailed with general satisfaction.
M. Cassimlro I'erior's fuiluro to form a
cabinet was duo to his inability to obtain
Iho support of the advanced republicans ,
\\hiohwusiiccossary , as ho aimed to form
u ministry of Iho best men of all parties ,
and further , to the insuperable difficulty of
Unding a suitable man to take tbo portfolio
of ministry of justice. Ills proposed cabi
net , It was circulated this morning , was
comprised of man possessing public confidence
fidencebovoral from M , Loubot's ministry ,
\vliom M. Brisson had Ignored.
M. Hloot refused , however , to accept the
ministry of Jubtico which M. 1'erlor bad In
tended for him. Several other proposed
member * also proved unwilling to accept the
positions assigned to them.
M , Ponor iccognlzlng the hopelessness of
his task in view of these refusals , saw Presi
dent Carnet this afternoon and announced
his Inability to form a cabinet.
The news of M. Porlor's failure was received -
coivod with genetul rorci. Even his oppon
ents admitted his integrity , while conserva
tives had proceeded to support his adminis
tration , his policy on economic ( juestlonn
baing identical with theirs and favoring the
Molin tariff.
\Vhon M. Uasslmlro Porler's withdrawal
become known the opinion was general that
M. do I'Voyclnot would bo asked to form a
dissolution ministry , which , it is expected ,
would bo iho present cabinet remodclod with
M. Const.ins In tbo homo ofllco nud M ,
Loubatand Hlcard. President Carnet , however -

Cable Special to THE Bnn.l Only a mod
erate degree of Interest is felt here In tha
proceedings of the monetary conference at
Brussels. The gold standard Is so firmly oj-
lablishod that nobody baliovos for n moment
itcAn bo dlsturbnd , ojnsoquo.itly thu dis
cussions at Brussels uru 'regarded ns par
taking of n doctrinaire rnlhor thtin n prac
tical business character , and vary few par
sons in the city appear to even have fol
lowed thorn. Bertram Currio undoubtedly
gavu expression to the opinions of tha gov
ernment Iho Bank of E -
, iglnnd n-id com
mercial men generally when bo roundly do *
clured that thn gold standard would event
ually triumph , oven in the United States.
At any rate England cannot ii'id will uot
Changs it. ' i
This bolng the opinion of almost nil who
have real Influence in city atfahs , the ooa "
fcrcnco can only end ono way , so far as this
country U concerned , and thn majority of tha
other delegates nro ovlduutly prepared to4
take the sumo ground.
DeeplV Ititurcstcd In < ! oul < l ,
Far greater Interest was oxcltod by tbo
death of Jay Giuld , wboia fame as a sort , of
Napoleon of stock m irkats has spread among
all classes ot E iglish pooplo. They never
tired hearing narratives of man who have )
tlsen from poverty and obscuilty to power
and wealth , and stories of this kind are onca
morosuurailted to them by the entire Eng
lish ptoss. What eltoct Gould's death will
have upon the unco of stocks must dopondl
entirely upau the course of ovunts In the *
United Stares. Here , taken alone , it woulcj
bo comparatively slight.
Tbo Daily News makes the surprising as
sertion that a poor farmer , such as was Jay
Gould's father , is looked upon In America as
tno meanest of whites. The Tltnos has &
biography of Gould lu typo , evidently writ
ten In Now York" .
\\lmt this 1'olitlcliiim Are Doing.
Great complaints are being mndo bv th ,
radical section of Gladstone's party on aol
count of the delay In calling parliament to
gether. It is now known that , the earliest
day llxod is In the last weak of Janurv. This
is lulling things easy with a vengeance. Thi
ministry generally shows no impatlonca to
face the House of Commons.Lot well
onouch alone" is its motto.
Mean while Hosobcry and Asquith hava'
again boon the queen's cuests nt Windsor ,
Asqulth will soon bo denounced by his old
associates among tha extreme men as an
aristocrat in disguise , and his progress as ft
courtier affords an Interesting study forf
Abouchcro & Co. The queens dinner * ami
entertainments are gradually including Q
larger circle of persons than formerly
though It remains to bo scan wholhcr this
