altogether or to change entirely their sphere
In tbo college world. Last May a candidate
for election was killed wnilo beinor initiated
nnd at that time the Vulo faculty deliberated
for a long time as to th - advisability of
removing the societies from the college
world , Htid wore only deterred bv a , prompt

camn to the oars of the faculty iind now there
are tbiee alternatives presumed to tbo soci
ety : to Rive up their organl/alloa and to become -
como simoly an open social body , to glvo up
their charter entirely , or to submit con

n r's mate on board the United States

from that vessel and from tbo navy U order
that ho may accept an appointment as acting
gunner In the navy.
Kllora Is the seaman who remained at his
post In tbo magazine and put out tbo tire
caused by a number of slow burning powder
grains , which were blown through the
screens imd down Into tbo passage by a pre
mature dlschargo on dccK.
The accident oocurro.1 during the sham at
tack on Fort McHonry , near Ball ( more , on
tbo 17th of last September. Mr. Kllers was
at once recommended to the Navy depart
ment for advancement by bis commanding
ofllccr. and nftor a full examination of tbo
facts that recommendation has been carried
Into effect.
Section 1407 of tbo revised statutes of
the United Stc.tcs reads : "Seamen distin
guishing themselves In battle , or by extra
ordinary heroism In the linn or their profes
sion , may bo promoted lo forward warrant
ofllcers , upon the recommendation of tbulr
commanding o 111 cor , approved by the Ihig
ofllccr nnd secretary of the navy ; and upon
such recommendation tnoy shall receive n
gratuity of $100 anil n medal of honor , to bo
prepared under the direction of tbo Navy
department. "
Tbo recommendation for appointment as n
warrant olllcor Is n rare ono , it generally ap
pearing that the man to bo rewarded lacks
the education or other qualities necessary
in so Important a position.

torod tbo navy as an upprculice wtinn only

esteem of his ofllcers over since. Whenever
possible ho has been given responsible doty ,
nnd there Is no doubt that nl the end of tbo
shortest probation required by law be will
successfully pass his examination and re
ceive bis regular appointment as gunner.
riio appointment as gunner carries with It
a italary of ? l-DO at sea mid b'.HX ) on shore
duty , with n regular increase every throe
years up to twelve yonrs from date of ap-
polntmunt , when tbo salary Is $1M)0 ) at sun
and $1,000 on shore duty. The appointment
is for life or good behavior. In addition tbo
shore duty details of gunners frequently re-
qulro their presence nt their posts at all
times , thus necessitating the erection of

LEIPSIC , Nov. 3. Dr. Blum has recently
bad a long interview witb Prlnco Bismarck
at Varsoln , nn account of which was
published in the Naohrichton of tbls city.
Prince Bismarck spoke at length on the
now military bill and ( Jermany's relations
with Trance and Kussla. He denied that ho
had planned to attack Franco In 1877 , con
tending that , on tbo contrary , he persuaded
Emperor William to forbid tbe general
staff , especially Count von Moltke , to inter
fere with foreign powers. Ho dissented en
tirely from the purport of the military bill.
Ho said thnt bo thought tbo German array
was qulto strong enough to face oven a war
on two fronts. Ho believes that neither
France nor UubSia desires -var , and that no
war Is llkoly to Droak out for at loust a few
years to come. "Moreover,1' said thoprlnco ,
"vljtory will rest with that power which
wins tbo llrst few battles , and those battles
will be fought , not with millions of men , but
witb a few hundred thousand. '
"Tbo main thing , " no said , "Is that thov
be well lod. Tbo now military bill has the
greatest defects in its inadequate provision
for commissioned and noncommissioned of-
Hears. "
Ho contended that tbo provision to main
tain the third year ot service solely for
men who have Incurred penalties would
destroy all respect for the third year plan.
Ho quoted Emperor Wllllaui J. , Count von
Alollko and General von Keen as against the
two years system. With regard to Uussla ,
Prlnco Bismarck said that only newspapers ,
Poles and Jews deslrod war between tl.o
Russians and tbo Germans.
