GANM & kILEIN THE CABINET ACCEPTS IT. William Makes Some Concession to Popular Opposition to the Military Bill The Duke of Cumberland Advised to Abandon Hope of a Throne. Humans Society to Take up the Case of the Long Distance Riders-Other Foreign News. [Copyright. 199,2 New York Associated Press.1 BganLt, Qot. 15.-Not a single journal, except the government organs, supports the military bill. It is the general belief that a cris is impending in the Prussian cabinet on account of the bill. At a cabinet meet ing the ministry accepted the bill on condi tion that the extra expenditure be borne by the empire and not by Prussia alone. Von Caprivi's assurances on the point appeared to be satisfactory. The prospects of the bill passing the reichetag improved by the report that the government has decided to concede to parliament the right to fix an nually the peace footing of the army. It is reported that the meeting between Emperor William and the duke of Cumber land, for the purpose of discussing the question of the Brunswick succession, fell th,ough, owing to the ex-queen of Hanover .erenading the duke not to attend. Queen Victoria advises the duke to release his claim to the throne. The duke is in a quandary. The Austrian military riders have re turned to Vienna leaving about half of the horses dead or disabled. The German riders fared little better. The enthusisam over the race is replaced by moral disgust and the German humane society has de cided to bring the question before the reich stag. The retort giving exports to America from the consular district of Berlin for the quarter shows that they increased $2,628, 5,0 :ompared with the corresponding per iod last year. The increase was mainly due to the Hamburg sugar exports and knitted goods. A sensation has been caused in the theatrical world by the absconding of Herr Junkerman. director of the Neone Deutsche opera company, who is heavily in debt.

Be ing interviewed to-day he said he had worked on the book all spring and summer, until the deplorable events at Holnatead. They had such a depressing effect that he was compelled to lay the book aside and resort to the loches and moors, fishing from morning till night. Referring to the bus iness prospects of England, Carnegie said the outlook was dark. In conclusion he said: "Look where you will, there is but ,one truly prosperous country in the world, and that is the United States. God bless her, she deserves it." The Right of Public Meeting. LoNnoN, Oct. 15.-The Workmen's club and socialist societies which figured in the Trafalgar riot five years ago will reassert the right to hold a public meeting there by a monster demonstration Sunday. Nov. 13, with which it is presumed the government will not interfere. The leaders of the pres ent demonstration are the old set. Philo sophic and respectable socialists declare that if the home secretary prohibits the meeting they will withdraw. The Work men's club insists on defying any govern ment prohibition. The promoters of the affair are embarrassed by receiving an inti mation from German and French socialist clubs, notoriously of anarchistic character, that they will join their ranks on the occa sion.

This reduces the minimum amount of fixed carbon two per cent and defines the difference for cus tom purposes between anthracite coal, which is free, and bituminous which is sub. jest to a duty of 75 cents per ton.

THE AEGISTRATION OVER, In the Two Helena Districts It Is 4,242 for the Year 1892. Lewis and Clarke County Will ShoW a Total of About 6,700. In Common With Other Bections of the State, This Is a HIl Increase Over 1890. Yesterday was the last day of registIra tion, and the total in the two Helena dis tri's, 4,242, is a sufficient refutation of the oe~ree made by the papers of Great Falls and Butte especially that Helena is falling of In population. In 1800 the total regils tration in these two districts was 8,804, showing an increase of 488, or 12 per cent this year over two years ago. By districts the increase was: First 110, second 828. The registration for the other districts of the county have not been received as yet. Thi registration of the whole county two years ago was 5,085. At the same rate of increase in 1892 outside the city distriots as there was in helena this year, the entire county of Lewis and Clarke should have nearly 5,700 qualified voters who can go to the polls on the 8th of November. The onlside districts of the county, however, are expected to show even a larger percent age of increase, and it would not be at all surprising if Lewis and Clarke county's registration should go nearer 5,900. Of the 5,085 votes registered in Lewis and Clarke county in 1890 there were east 8,88: votes, showing that about 25 per cent of the vote was not cast. This is accounted fot by the fact that many men who were en gaged on sewer and vailroad work during the registration, got through with their work and went elsewhere before election day. This year, however, no such condi tions are expected to arise. The men who are at work in Helena and in the county outside the city are engaged on works of more permanent and lasting character. There is no occasion for them to leave now or at any time before election day, or, in fact, for many weeks after the election. As long as the weather holds good there is no doubt but that all who are in the county and city now will have no occasion to change their place of residence in search of employment. There are other considera tions that bespeak a fuller vote this year than there was in 1890. In the latter year there was but one office, congressman, to be voted on out side those counties which had to elect state senators. This year many voters, in fact It large proportion of them, will have the first opportunity of their lives to cast a ballot in a presidential election. This, if noti.jns else, will bring them to the polls, if they have to go on snow shoes. 'Then there is the capital question, in which the voters of Lewis and Clarke county, outside of Helena, have as vital an interest as the people of the city have. From various parts of the state come re Ports of increased registration over 1890. The conditions at other place are pretty much the same as here. The people want to avail themselves of the opportunity to take part in the selection of a president. It is safe to predict that the vote of the state this year will come within five per cent of the registration. Helena for the capital. Increase in Park County. LIVINGSTON, Oct. 15.--[Special.]-- There were 1,005 voters registered in this city up to the close of registration to-night. This is an increase of about 220 over the number registered twoyears ao. Reports from the various registration offices in the county in dicate that the number registered will ex ceed that of any previous year by about 830. 'Ihe registration for Park county will reach 2,200. The work of registering has been pushed with vigor by all parties, and it is possible that nearly every voter in the county was registered by 10 o'clock to night. The democrats feel confident that they will succeed in electing the majority of the county ticket and that the usual re publican majority for the state and na tional ticket will be very materially re duced. Democrats through the county are united and are doing very effective work. The republicans already concede that the contest will be close. At untte.

Wayne MoVeagb, Ex-Repub lioan Cabinet Officer, on the Democratic Stump. A Speeeh by SBlane Remarkable for the Absence of Any Compliment for President IlarrlsoL. I'TTrr.AnarnPrA, Oct. 15. - One of the largest political meetings of the campaign was held to-night under the auspices of the Young Men's Democratic association of this city, which invited Wayne MaoVeagh, formelv attorn, y general under Garfield, to make an address. Mr. MaoVeagh was introduced by President Thompson, of the association. MacVbaah said that up to the present trme he had not felt at liberty to vote for any but republican candidates. In 1876 he believed Tilden entitled to the electoral vote of Louisiana. But President Grant, Secretary Chandler, Secretary Cameron, and Gen. Sheridan were in command of the troops in the state and Secaetary Robeson, with gun boats in its wates, deeply inter ested in the election of United States Mar shal Packard, seeking the governorship with a host of deputies at his command, and yet when the polls closed Tilden had.' 7,000 votes more than Hayes. The speaker objected to this. He has watched with pain the steady growth of the corrupt use of money in politics and he is convinced that unless the republican party is checked it would make the poor poorer and the rich richer, more corrupt, selfish and less patri otio. "There is too much truth," he said, "in the rumors that the election of 1888 was bought. There is no way of accounting for the action of the republican party for there last four years other than the bargain and'. sale of legislation." He did not see howl. any man in his right senses thought it wise to inflict upon the poor the awful bardens of the McKinley bill or to debauch voters by offering them pensions, or to impoverish the taxpayer by buying masses of silver, for which there is no use, or to insult a small, wevak, sister republic like Chili by sendur.g such a diplomat as Patrick Egan, or to threaten her with war without waiting. to translate her apology. On the tariff question MacVesah said leis than 12 per cent of the laborers of Pennsylvarnia could secure employment in protective industries, while the other 88 per cent had to pay a bounty on almost everything they eat or wear owing to the cordage trust and similarevils. The Ameri can farmer each year found himself poorer, until in Ohio and Pennsylvania land is worth less than half what it was twenty years aso. Laboring men are obliged to pay artificial prices fo- asoar on account of sugar trusts, kept alive by the McKinley bill and what is true of the McKinley bill and the great group of gigantic monopolies is also true of the reckless pension of legis lation. The speaker did not object to just pen sions. He said it was known that in the present year silver was mined in vast quan tities at a cost of 35 cents an ounce and sold to the government at over 70 cents, "so it is Drobable our silver dollar is not worth over 50 cents." It was only a ques tion of time, he declared. when we would be reduced to a silver currency. In closing the speaker said he would rather place money in the hands of a burglar to bribe a watchman to rob a bank than to contribute money to be placed in the hands of Quay, Martin or Hackett to be used in politica. MORE ICE. Blaine Puts a Chunk in the Wagon-Chilly for Iarrison. WHnIT PLAINS, N. Y., Oct. 15.-James G. Blaine has spoken. A big erowd from the village of Westehester heard the man from Maine.

Delegations were present from all surrounding towns. Upon arriving at (Ophir farm the band which accompanied the crowd played several selections and Mr. Rteid appeared upon the veranda. He was followed by the distinguished party w.hlch gathered to meet the ex-secretary. After a few words of introduction Reid presented Blaine. As the popular son of Maine stepped forward he was greeted with round after round of cheers. When sufficient silence was secured Mr. Blaine spoke in part as follows: "Fellow Citizens of New York: I should be churlish iudeod if I did not maks re sponse to your call. At this time I am stlaking no sperc.hee in the canvass for rea sons which are well known to friends and have no coninection with politics.
