BERLIN, March 21st.
In the Reichstag to-day the estimates for increasing the horsing of artillery passed its second rending. The bill providing for the dual administration of the Navy-Department-also passed its second reading. In the debate on the latter hill Hismarck, replying to Richter's criticism, showed that the responsibility of the naval authorities to the Reichstag would be in no way altered. The change, he said, was a constitutional one. He declined to be respon- sible for the commander of the navy. The plan only involved the application to the navy of the system that had already been tested in the army hamely, the placing of an Admiral-in- Chief at the head of the navy as a General-in- Chief was at the head of the army. Of course the Emperor was the aupreme commander of both branches.
CHICAGO, March 21st.
The News' Washington special says: The only candidate for the Chinese mission is Chester Holcomb of Connecticut, who has been Secretary of Legation and interpreter at Peking for twenty years, and can talk, read and write the Chinese language. He was a classmate of Warner Miller and Charles Emery Smith at Union College and graduated in 1861. Mr. Thayer of Minneapolis, who was appointed Minister to the Netherlands, is a graduate of the same institution, but was a member of the preceding class of 1860. Holcomb went from college into the war, and shortly after he was mustered nut went to China, where he has since resided. He has no political backing, but hopes to get the position on his merits, for during the twenty years that he has been secre- tary of the Legation he has served as Minister more than one-third of the time.
PISTH, March 31st. The efforts of friends to effect a reconciliation between Deputies Polonyi and Kraitsek, who had an altercation in the Chamber yesterday, were unsuccessful, and the two Deputies fought a duel to-day. Neither was injured.

Emperor Francis Joseph to-day and received full power to stop the outbreaks.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 21st. The Government is considering a measure for increasing the number of vessels in the navy. The plans under consideration Involve the expenditure of 120,020,000 roubles ($78,000,000) The plans include severs! additions to the Black Sea and Baltic defence fleets, as well as the strengthening of the cruising fleets. The work will probably be begun at an early day.
LONDON, March 21st.
The Marchioness of Donegal has brought suit for a judicial separation from her husband on the ground of cruelty and desertion. The case was heard to-day The Marchioness testified that abe was married to the defendant in 1865; she left her husband's house in 1873; previous to her leaving they occupied separate rooms. One night the respondent brought a friend home with him. He then dragged her from her bed into the passage, where his friend was standing.
The defense produced witnesses who testified that Lady Donegal committed adultery with a groom employed by her husband, and with another man.
The case against the Marquis was dismissed, and the counter suit that the Marquis brought
against Lady Donegal was also dismissed.
In the Commons this afternoon Baron de Worms, Parliamentary Colonial Secretary, read a telegram from the Cape, saying that Captain Seagrave had been dismissed from the Cape infantry service for gross neglect of duty and
