1. TUESDAY MORNING. THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. DECEMBER 12, 1899. 11 KAISER'S PET SCHEME IN THE REICHSTAG First Step in the Direction of Creating a Big Navy, GERMANY IS EXPANDING The Interest on the Proposed Navy Loan to be Guaranteed by the Imperial Revenues.

Dere's grandma dinks she's nicht small beer; Mit Boers und such she'll interfere; She'll learn none owns dis hemisphere But Me-und Gott! "Hoch! Der Kaiser." BERLIN. December 11. During the debate on the estimates in the Reichstag to-day Count Von Buelow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, reiterated the terms of the various agreements for partitioning Samoa by the United States and Germany. Prince Hohenlohe, Imperial Chancellor, then announced that federal government the had come to the conclusion that the present navy was insufficient for the country's needs and that estimates for doubling the present number of warships would be submitted. "He added that the period within which the increase of the navy would be effected was not to be fixed by law, the number of new ships to be provided for annually in the estimates being decided in accordance with budgetary requirements.

McKinley's Message Lauded. Count Von Buelow, in supporting the proposed increase in the navy. said: "The President of the United States in his message expressed himself concerning the good relations between the United States and ourselves with a warmth that fills us with sincere satisfaction; and, as far as Great Britain is concerned, we are willing and ready to live in peace and concord with her on the basis of full reciprocity and reciprocal consideration." Count Von Buelow also justified the increase in the navy from a political point of view. and declared that the German policy had always maintained an even course between neglecting and overdoing transoceanic interests. Alluding the warlike changes and revolutions of the past few years be said: "I cannot yet believe a new partition of the earth is imminent.

We wish to interfere with no foreign power. but neither do we wish to let our feet be trodden upon by a foreign power, nor 1 let ourselves be pushed aside either politically or economically. We cannot but be mixed up with the future, the prospects of which have been considerably modified during the last two years, because we have now interests in all parts of the world. The powerful vitality of the German people has involved us in the world's administration and drawn us into the world's policy." German Interests Jeopardized. As an instance of the necessity of a navy, Count Von Buelow cited the present conditions in Venezuela, where, he said, "very considerable German interests are seriously jeopardized.

and to which country we are able only to send two or three old training ships." Continuing, Count Von Buelow said: "In the coming century the German people must be either the hammer or the anvil. In the name of our country's best interests. I entreat your favorable reception of the navy bill." Baron Von Thielmann, the Secretary of the Treasury, described the financial position of the Empire as favorable and said the interest on the navy loan would be guaranteed by the imperial revenues.

Vessels are wanted for the long voyage trades to the far East and Australia, and there is also some inquiry for South American tonnage.

Vessels, however. are scarce and rates as a consequence are very firm. In the West India and coastwise lumber trades there was a good demand for vesgels and rates were firm. Coastwise coal rates to the East were easy, and the inquiry for tonnage was light. Steamer freights from local ports show little or no improvement, the requirements of shippers being unusually light for this time of the year.

Grain rates to Cork, for orders, are quoted 88.23s. for December loading and 3s. 39. 3d. for January.

A YATES Co Chestnut and Thirteenth DISINFECTING THE SCHOOLS Health Inspector Good's Plan to Fumigate Buildings During the Christmas Holidays. Realizing the educational 'loss to pupils due to closing the public school buildings while it is necessary to disinfect them, but fully alive to the necessity for disinfection because of the prevalence of diphtheria, Colonel J. Lewis Good, chief of the Bureau of Health, has hit upon a plan which he thinks will solve the difficulty. From two days to one week are required for the proper disinfection of a school ing. which is done by the use of formaldehyde gas.

Colonel Good's idea is to utilize the Christmas holidays for this purpose. He has communicated with President Samuel B. Huey, of the Board of Education, and the latter has approved of the idea. The chief Intends to call the janitors of the various buildings at some central point during the next few days in order that they may receive practical instruction in the use of the disinfecting apparatus from the assistant medical inspectors of the Bureau of Health. The Roman Catholic parochial schools do not come under the jurisdiction of the city's officers, but Colonel Good intends to communicate with Archbishop Ryan relative to allowing the janitors of these buildings to receive instruction similar to that given the janitors of the public schools.
