)>ndon, Nov. 26.?The opening of the Imperial
Diet in Berlin on Tuesday mark? a crisis, and is
probably the signal for a general agitation
throughout Germany. 'Hiero lias been indeed
great agitation for months, with Prinee Hivmarck
lt. Mm heed of it. What UM Reichstag will
really do is to Rive cxpr-ssjon i? an authoritative
way t" feeling which Mir all (?crinan breasts.
The first, two sittings supplied each a sensation
of its own. Tlu> Kmjvror'.N si*>-ch ?nil the Chan?
cellor's speech were of the most serious kind.
The be* proof of the gravity of the situation is the
?n.'enro of anything )?ko awagget in the vcry
seighty and even dimit? words which arc un?
doubtedly, unlike those of some other BOVereigns,
the Kmperor'9 own. He had. indeed, no novelty
to proposo. The outlines of the new Army hilf
have long been known, and it has been known
that the Caprivi Administration had made up its
mind tjo stand or fall by them.
There had been a dispute whether the Km?
peror, who is a soldier lvfoi-o all things, would
assent to a reduction of service with the colors
from three vears to two in consideration of the
large increase proposed in the effective force of
the standing army. Very likely he hesitated, but
his adhesion is now Complete. He advocate? tins
increase on the only possible ground, namely,
danger to Germany from the irrowini military
?trength of Frame and Russia. He names neither
of those Powers. There is no word of offence
or menace to anybody, though he has chosen a
curious phrase when he alleges that the duty
of Germany to augment her military forces has
become, imperative because 0f the development
#of th? "defensive" power of other European
States. The French are quick to infer that
Orrnany would attack, if Frame liad not grown
too strong ; an inference which the Chancellor
dispels.
Count von Caprivi's speech on Wednesday was,
from every point of view, remarkable. It was
able enough to furnish of itself a good answer to
Trinco Bismarck's taunts at hifl successor's inca?
pacity?able, not merely at a s|>eech, but in it?
broad view of affairs and m it"? vigorous handling
of great issues. There ?rag the note of true
statesmanship in his refusal to appeal to panic
in order to carry his bill. He would not, as he
6aid, jingle his sword. He declined to say that
war is in sight. He avowed that the relation?
of Germany with all other Powers are friendly.
He disclaimed with emphasis a policy of aggression.
He dissevered himself from thai party, it party
there be, which vonld attack Francs or R -- i
lest France or Russia grow ton strong.
Hut he put bef?te tlie Reichstag and Ger
many, more plainly than it has evsf been put
before, the tremendous change that baa taken
placo since i^to in the relativ.- military strength
of France and Germany. Should Germany ever
aga.n cross the French frontier, she would meet,
not, as twfore. ?-iaht army corps to her seventeen,
?but fnrcci* numerically cfial, if not superior,
splendidly organized and equipped, with enormous
Itamwta behind them.'' If she defeated thein, she
>?oul<? have next, to deal with it ^-rie? of fonni
aiVAc fortresses on the Moselle arid Meuse, each
rtrooger than Strasburg or Met? in 1x70. if the
Oman armies armed before Paris, neither would
Hint !*? the Paris of l*To, ??hut a fortified city,
the like of which the world ha- never seen, with
thirty-live forts and an oatef line of defences
loo mile? in extent.'' That is a picture of war
painted in Ire.
Count von Caprivi is before all things, like his
Emperor, a s ?idler, and he bas Hie courage to
tell his countrymen that even it Germany con
quered, "our second state would he far worse
than onr Bist, and would Involve tro-!, saerl
fices far heavier than those we now ask of
you." He warns them that Russia, also. 1
steadily arming, steadily preparing tor war. arid
plainly for war on hei western frontier, where
her heat force? are gradually but surely massing.
He owns that he la asking ?or greii sacrifices
from an already heavily burdened Nation. Fresh
troops mean fresh taxes also But be repeats m
a tone, which sound? in spite of himself pr.?
photic, that these BBCr.'flcea aie as nothing <"in
pared with those resulting from .1 disastrous
war.
The Heirhstag received this fateful statement
in alienee. It listened to the Chancellor; sp
plaud lum it would not. It don not follow that
it may not ultimately pa?-s these war bills, the
operation of which would not begin till October.
ISOt, while not till 1013 would they come into
full effect. Hut behind the Reichstag la public
opinion, and it i* to., soon yet to aaj what public
opinion on this gra\e matter is. The Opposition
is very strong. Radical and Socialistic Germany
is against them to a man, and never waa there
a time when the German people liai so much
Influence on aflairs as now, under the m ?1 ar?

influences other than those of reason, or even o|
public opinion.
Nor is Herman public opinion itself veiv stable

Why should we cxrK-'-t it to lie atable? Dem?

whether in Germany even submission is necea

A dispatch, presumably from Lord Dunraven,
which ?ras receive! at the New-York yacht elub
honae yesterday, s.-ems t,, Bettle the question of
i race f,,r the America's Cup ne\t year in the
affirmative. It read as follow-; :
" Adare, Nov. S?, IM2.
"To Genera] Fame, New-York Yacht Club, New

??The secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron
wires me that s challenge Ins been mailed t.,

A. <'as.-i t anflcid, secretary of the Special Com
mittee of the New-York Yacht Club, appointed
to arrange s race with Lord Dunraven, placed
the dispatch on tbe bulletin hoard, with t.he fol
lowing line from himself: "The above is not
signed, but is undoubtedly from Lord Dunraven "
The news of the arrival ol the dispatch spread
rapidly, and there was a large gathering ol yachts?
men at the club house In tbe evening. It was the
? neu 1 opinion (hat nothing! m>t even the ravings
of |i|\ou K.inp, Which had U-en Cabled over and
bad appeared in tbe evening papers, could now
prevent s race for the cup coming off ne\t *-a

dated, i- one of Lord Ounraven's country seat*,
and Ilaron Adare la one ol hia titles.
Secretary Oddle, ol the New-York Yacht

THE PANAMA CONTROVERSY.
PACIFIC MAIL COMPANY'S POSITION.
I -
ZTWECt OF THE FRENCH RF.CEIVF.P.'S FOLIOY
u.\ THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC
COASTWISE TI.API-i,
How complete the ruin of the American coast
\vi-e trade betWUB tin? Atlantic and the Pu-iHc
will lie in the event of the success of the policy
adopted by M- Monehicotirt, the French receiver
of tlie r.iua'iia fanal Company, can be w<ea
from a little study of the situation. I'nder tlie
terms of the treaty of |g|g between the I'mb*!
States and the Republic of New-Cranadu, Ameri?
can citizens obtained tlio riiiht to treat the
Isthmus of Panama, as far as transit privilcgea
were concerno I, as American soil, an I thereby
th?? business done- by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, in connection with the Pnaaana Bau?
road, between ifew-Vatk and San Francisco has
lns?n, to all intents and purposes, purely a
dornest!?.astwise tra<Ie. Iloth companies, were
American corporations, working under charters
Obtained in the United States, and in the trans?
shipment of goods across the Isthmus no question
of foreign cuaterna regulation* ha? iwon involved.
If, now, If. Monoliir-oiirt, in following out his
policy, is allowed to execute the contemplated
contract with the 'Compa??a Sud Americana, a
Chilian corporation owned by British capitalLsra
and suilin? its vessels under fin' Chilian flajr, and
if at the same time ne earrii* into eflei't tho
terms of his notice to shippers that no through
bills of lading will be laaued to the Phoiac Mail
Stoamship Company aft-r February 1, 1 ^02, the
result is easy to see. Deprived of its large-it and
most profitable buaiaess, the Mexican and Central
American trade, and of its ability te give through
bills of lading on any freicht, the I'aeilic Mail, one
of the most important steamship lines lying the
American flag, will Is? driven from the seas, and
the whole eoaatnia ? trad.- between. New-York and
Snn Francisco Will fall into foreign hands. For
oign eorporntiepa cannot, of cours??, avail them?
selves of the. privileges granted to the I'niti-d.
States by treaty, and the shippers will be the
sufferers, owing to the compilations that will
naturally follow the forwarding of froizht hf
foreizn lines through foreign territory lietween
Ani?>rican ports.
The policy would also ?pern to l>e a suicidal one
for the Panama Railroad itself. For years the
Pacific, Mail Company has Iw?n in receipt of an
annual subsidy of $000,000 from the Transcon?
tinental Railroad Association. A large part of 'liis
has gone to the Panama Railroad. It would l>e
lolly to suppose that, foreign lin*?s hereoffer to he
established between New-York and Colon, and
Panama and San Francisco, handicapped as they
would he by customs regulations even though
heavily subsidized by their t.overnmente, could
make the returns to the Panama Railroad that
the Pacific Mail bus beon able to make with its
established business and peculiar transit priv?
ileges. Another ph.tso of the situation Is that the
Pacific Mail Company has a contract, with ten
years still to run, to carry the niailh betunan New
Vork and Colon, and San FnUMaMt and Panama.
This service would be largely if not altogether
Interrupted by the withdraw*! of the company'a
licet.
M tfonchicourt does n?t step here, Besserer, in
Ins attempt to uso the Panama Railroad a? an
Instrument for the desto action ol American cm
m. nial Interests, heedless at American treaty
right?, and ia entire disregard of tkg policy of
the L'nited states floTcmamil as sot forth ia
the Monroe Doctrine. The Pa.11.1n1a Railroad Com?
pany, under it? charter frrnnfeil |,y t|10 State of
New-York, has the double ruht to operate j,
railroad aero?* the Isthmus of I'anania and as run
?teamship linos in connection therewith. In \%ft't
when the twenty-year contract was execute?! with
the Pacific Mail Company, the former company
?il ! t , the lath* for $700,. tii,, privileges in
cluded in the second part of the chatter. The
transaction was aot ? lease or s Unte oontraeti
but an absolute rak?. The money was pail for
the " steam-hip sen no" then operated by the
Panama Railroad, "with all the rights and ap
;, irtenances thereto belonging," whicfi included, ,w
des.Tib.sl in the bill of sale, the steamers, transit
privileges and good will of the load. Now, t m
Fronelt receiver, in violation of the terms of that
instrument, has given formal not.that do mor.?
through bills of lading will is- Issued to the
purchaser of those privileges, and baa opened
negotiations with a foreign corporation for th*
tin:-f,,r to if of (he trau-it privileges and sjaod
will already s?>M to an American corporation.
\\\ R. I ?race A Co. are the agents in tin? city
of the Compa??a Sud Americana, and General
.lohn Newt'n, whi was appointed Commissioner
of Public Works by Mr. Grace when he wai
