LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
Opposition of the German Beichstag to a
Proposed Increase in the Naval Equip
ment Enforcing the Anti-Gambling
law in Paris Parnell and McCarthy
Bussian Nihilists Arrested.
Copyright 1891 bv the N. Y. Associated Press.
Berlin, March 7 . Ry his personal
influence Emperor William has succeed
ed in preventing the defeat in the Reich
stag of the Government on the proposed
addition to the navy, but this has only
been done bv inducing members to ab
stain from voting. Debate on the sub
ject disclosed the fact that both the
Centre and the Frersimringe parties
were stronglyopDOsed to conceding the
amounts required for the construction
of two or three gun-boats, one iron-clad
and one dispatch boat. The question
itself, though not of striking import, be
came, one of serious moment for the
Government, when two parties combine
to oppose aft increase of the navy on
general principles.
During the week past ministers en
tertained at dinner leaders of the Cen
tral party and the Emperor bestowed
personal courtesies upon several influen
tial members of the Reichstag. The
government's demand was finally lim
ited to two gunboats.
Since the committee of the House
heard of Admiral Hollman's frank
disclosures of the Admiralty project
to raise Germany to the rank
of a great naval power, the Reichstag
has been thoroughly alarmed, and it has
been difficult to persuade that body to
concede eveh reasonable demands. It
was painful to hear Chancellor Von
Caprivi yesterday evening plead the
necessity for two more gunboats to
guard approaches to the Baltic Canal.
VVindthorst, Centrist leader, contended
that the canal would not be completed
before 1898, and that the building and
equipping of gunboats could well wait.
Von Caprivi asserted that the canal
would be opened in 1895, and held that
Germany ought to have vessels ready to
protect it as it could not be protected by
land fortifications. He wOuld simply
ask members to refer back to the vote
of the committee. As a last resort the
government was prepared to strike off
a sufficient amount from installments
allotted for the construction of 'our
great iron-clads to enable the naval
authorities to build two gunDoats.
London, March 7. Communications
which have passed between McCarthy
and Parnell in relation to the funds of
the National League, which are in the
hands of a banker in Paris, were pub
lished in a second edit:on of the Tfmes
to-day. After several letters on the sub
ject had passed between McCarthy and
Parnell, the former offered to agree to
any arrangement by which the sum
necessary for the immediate wants of
evicted " tenants could be released.
An agreement of this kind was neces
sary, as the money was deposited in the
joint names of McCarthy and Parnell,
and Biggo.i, deceased. McCarthy pro
posed that the sum thus withdrawn
should be entrusted to Favier O'Brien
and J. J. Claney for distribution. In
the concluding letter of the series, Par
nell, who does not appear to have
agreed to McCarthy's proposition, states
that until some definite plan in regard to
funds is agreed upon, there are sufficient
funds in hand to render the sale of
any of the securities deposited in Paris
unnecessary. He expressed the hope
that McCarthy wili soon hold a consul
tation with his colleagues in regard to
the matter and that permanent plans
will be agreed upon.
St. Petersburg. March 7. Degar
joff, the Nihilist leader and murderer of
the chief of the secret police in
1885. has been arrested at Kostroma,
capital of the government of Kostroma.
When taken into custody Degarjoff was
found lodging under an assumed name
in tne house of a government official.
A reward of 1 000 roubles has for a long
time benn offered for the capture of
Degarjoff. The chief instructor at the
Kostroma gymnasium, who was sus
pected of being implicated with
Degarjoff in the actual murder, or in a
conspiracy which led to it, committed
suicide just as the police opened the
door of his room with the intention of
arresting him. A number of other ar
rests have been made, and sensational
developments are expected.

TEXAS FAttMERS.
The Alliance in That State Said to be
' Badly Demoralised.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
St. Louis, March 7. Dispatches from
Texas announce that the Farmers' Alli
ance in that State is in a badly demoral
ized condition. Macune, a noted Alli
ance leader, is in Dallas, and will remain
there for a month or six weeks. " Ma
cune's presence created no little sur
prise, as manv members of the Alliance
had threatened to mob him if he ever
entered the State.
The truth is all is not harmony in the
Alliance camp. There are two factions,
each trying to down the other; one
a remnant of the old Granger organiza
tion, headed by farmer Bill Shaw, ot the
Texas Farmer, favoring a Railway
Commision, whose members shall
be appointees; the other wing,
headed by the Mercury crowd,
wanted a commissioner elective and
State funds invested in railroad bonds.
It is understood that McCune is
there to patch up a treaty of peace be
tween the factions. Alliance members
of the Legislature have issued a circular
denouncing Coleman, editor of the Afer
curv, as a Northern importation sent
to Texas to dictate to the people. Cole
man says a majority of the Democrats
of Texas belong to the Alliance. He
proposes to have something to say in dic
tating the policy of the paper, or the
biggest political row in the history of
Texas politics will take place.
CHICAGO REVIEW.
Fluctuations in Prices of Grain and
Provisions.
Ey Telegraph to the Morning Stai
Chicago, March 7. Price fluctua
tions in wheat were nervous and irregu
lar nearly all day. The first half of the
session was particularly exciting.
Despite the bearish figures given out by
Bradstreet and heavy receipts at
Northwest and Southwest points, the
market made some rather high quota
tions. May wheat started at $1.01.
sold off to $1.001.00. and then
speedily climbed to$1.01. The wheat
sold on this advance carried it down to
SI 00. and it held steady around
$:.005jj for a long time. English farm
ers', while slightly larger than
last week, were nevertheless sold
at an advance of 3 pence per quar
ter over the average price of the prece
ding week. Toward the close of the
session the weight of long wheat began
to be felt and prices weakened material
ly. May wheat sold off to 100,.
May corn started at 59 jc, sold to 60c,
broke to 58 53Con estimates of heavy re
ceipts for the next week.
Oats followed corn, and realizing sales
carried May from 50Jc down to 49Jr.
Provisions were easier on realizing
sales by outsiders and moderate short
selling by packers. The market was not
very weak, as sales were not much more
than sufficient to supply the demand.

New York, March 7. The Sun's cot
ton circular says:
Futures opened slightly firmer and so
remained throughout the day, but the
close was quiet. There was no news from
any quarter to stimulate speculation and
it was dull. The little advance that took
place was due largely to demand to cover
contracts, some of the bears not being
inclined to go home short. Bad weather
at the South was also an element of
some strength. .Spot cotton was dull.

VILAS TALKS
And Gives His Views on the Presidential
Outlook.
. . . ..
Washington Post. . 7
In answer to an inquiry from the
Post representative, Mr. Vilas said
that the political outlook from a.
Democratic standpoint was most sat
isfcictory. "Who isjhe most prominent and
the most probable candidate for the
party nomination in 1892 ?" was
"Why, ex-President Cleveland, of
course," was the ready response.
"At least, he is the favorite in my
State. We are all for Cleveland in
Wisconsin."
"Then his expression on the silver
question did him no harm in that
portion of the Northwest?"
"On the contrary, the people of
Wisconsin indorse his position. You
know the Legislature of that State
passed resolutions instructing their
delegates in Congress to vote against
free coinage. We are opposed to
high protection, either to Dig manu
facturers or to big silver miners."
