( 'iHjflit the CroxvU'n rnnrj" .
The Ninth regulars wore in full strontrth ,
and nlthouch their time in passing xvus
several minutes it xvas nil too short lor tbo
spectator * .
Nevt marched the Txventv-first rapimont
United States infantry , in blue uuilorms with
white facings nnd helmets. H xvas bard to
axvard the nalm between them and the
Ninth.
The onpineers from Williams Point , who
followed , did net make as impressing an ap
pearance , their uniforms being a bit dingy ,
but their marching xvas good.
Uumblini ; along after them came the
artillery batteries from Forts Hamilton ,
Scbuyler , Adams , etc. , with ralcish guns
and caissons. Their liemlcts hud red
plumes , und they salon the gun carriages
like veterans of many a Hold.
The snUi recimeut of infantry came in
lor liberal appluuse , keeping u splendid
formation. But it xvus the uluo jackets und
the luprlnes of tbo naval brigaue that ex
cited the people to tremendous cheering.
The blue jackets looked more like men
ready for nction thuu even tbo soldiers ,
their leggings giving them a businesslike
nir. Their inarching xvus , ot course , not per
fection , but it xvas very croditunle uftefull.
The blue jackets came trom several ship ? ,
the Philadelphia , Miuntonomuh , the
Atlanta , Dolphin , Vesuvius nnd Vermont ,
but there xvus nothing to distinguish one
body from another. Unlike the ether com
panies , they curried bayonets , xvhich made a
nrlsthnc array. The croxvd xvas never tired
of hurrahing for the sailors.
As these regulars xvero passing "Warren
street , the croxvd on tbo east side of Broad-
xvu ) made a break through the lines , and tno
police for a moment seemed dazed. A lieu
tenant of the Ninth infantry xvheeled bis platoon
teen about and ctnrged on the intruders ,
driving thorn and ttio notice back on the side-
xvulk. The action was grented xvith hearty
cheering.
Suvml Thflr inthUhlnHiu lor tin-
While the appearance of tbe rejulars
naturally produced enthusiasm , the applause
of the day xvns rcs-crvcd for tbe local mili
tary. General Ljoxvls Fuzporutd , astride u
uundsomo cucstuut , led the national guard of
Noxv Yon : . Behind General Fitzgerald's
stuff eume tbe gullunt Sixty-ninth , under
commund of Colonel Cavnnuph. Tnelr up-
pearuuco created u furore , nud the big stands
became convened instantly Into u sea of
waving handkerchiefs , whose oxvnors
cbeerei' ' until they xver ; hoarse. The Sixty-
ninth's ovation xvas duplicated when the
crack Seventh , Twenty-second und Suvonty-
llrst regiments camn along. Brooklyn and
other visiting repimeuls und separate com
panies xvero also liberally remembered und
greeted approvingly by the spectators.
Neither xvus the naval reserve slighted.
Governor Puttis'on at the bead of Pjniisyl
vanii's troops. Governor A boon xvith Ncxv
Jersey's , Governor Buikeley xvith Counocii-

When the line reached Union Square it is
estimated that fully ir > iOU ) ( ) men , women
and children xvoro packed therein. The
police xvere un.tnlo to drive tbe people back ,
for there was no place for them to go. The
cross streets xvero jammed full , too. The
arrival of the head of the purado xvus
creeled xvitb a sterm of applause from llic
grandstands , sidexvalks , windoxvs and roofs ,
and each body ot men found udmircrs > in tbo
immense throng.

noxv peen plainly shoxvn that uotxvithslnnd
Ing ull the ofliclal contradictions , there have
been dissensions of tbo gravest kind xvilt.ui
tbo government. These quarrels hnvo been
chuckednot stoppud , by Imperial intervention ,
but they are smouldering nnd maxbrcai :
out into flume at nny moment. In a gen
eral xvay the emperor has supported von
Cnprivl lu the military question , but xve
have no reason to believe , nnd there ere
weighty reasons not to believe , that he has
ever gone so lurin his support as to approve
tbo txvo years service plan. In principle I
huvo contended nil ulong that the emperor
bns set his face against tbo theory itself ,
although in practice ho has wavered or given
axvay.
-Not Uutlrplj * Novrl ,
For that matter there Is nothing nexv or
startling in tbo txvo years service plun. It
has existed more or less for years. To sanc
tion it in principle , hoxvcver , tbo em
peror xvouid , ns ho has repeatedly de
clared , have to repudiate tbo tradition
of his family , to nut u blight
upon tbo judgment of his imperial grand
father , to cat his oxvn words , nnd to
incur the resentment of the so-called mili
tary parly , which is particularly resolute and
strong. The opposition of the military xvouid
Imply the loss of tbe great mass of conserva
tive votes in the Ilaichstaj.
Deputies who think xvitb men like Count
von Waldersee , have mndo up their imuds
not to consent lo the introduction of tbe txvo
years service system. They have agreed to
stand or tall by the Hap. The press of Ger
many has been very blutt and plain in its
expressions of hostility. lu the last
fexx- days it has declared that if tbo
chancellor pins his fate to the measure in
volving tbo addition of ' .10,000 men to the
urtuy und the imposition ot sixty to seventy
millions in nexv taxes ho xvill be turned out.
To Whom Slmll IIITurn1. . '
To xvhom , then , docs the chancellor look
for votes to save his measure from de
feat ? Not surely to tbo progressists us
n party ; not , if tbo declarations of
the Hnuox-crerscho Courier , xvhich as n rule
reflects the viexx-s of Herr von Bcnuingsen
and Herr Miguel , are to be considered , to
the national liberals , und not to the social
'democrats. If , therefore , tjTeTiiris hilr
duced in the shane xvhich it uoxv xvears , U
looks as though the chancellor would shortly
bax'etoohoosobotxveen thealtcrnaiivcs xvbicb
MacMabon had lo face in 1S70. He must
submit or resign.
There is , to bo sure , one other course which
ho may take. He 111113- appeal to tne country ,
reviving the old spectre of Frencn-Uussian
danger , playing , in snort , the game xvhicb
Bismarck played in IbST , xvhen septenuatc
xvus the issue. To do this , even if the
ouiperor backed him , und hoxv long or boxv
firmly the imperial conUrieuce xvill bo ac
corded him ho cannot tell , needs nerve ,
Rtrengtb of xvill or ut least obstinacy. Von
Caprivl is not xvanting in the last of these-
quulitics , but I maintain that tbe chances are
thut he xx-ill not present tbe bill , and if he
does go to the country , it is pretty sure bo
xvill get an answer xvhicb will turn him out of
ofilceor compel tbe dissolution of tbe nexv
Reichstag.
Who Would Surrrril Cnprivl ?
Count von Wnldorsee is not a candidate.
Herr Miguel is also said to bo too wary to ex
change the reality of poxver for the meio
shudoxv. Prince Houeiiloho Incus prestige
and character. Herr von Benmngsen bus
made himself impossible. There remains ,
so far as I cuu see , one statesman only xvbo
xx-ould accept tbo chancellorship if it xvero
offered him. 1 mean Eublenbcrc. His
health is fulling , and bo xvouid hurdly stay
long at the post. There is n greater man
than any or all of ttoso xvhom it might
seem best to choose , but he is old , and has
