The Prussian Chamber Of Deputies was re-
Gently the scene of an excitement as exirs0rdi-

times have witnessed. Ia the delfes on the
Polish question, the Premier, Won Dsmarck, de-
I nouneed the liberal members in 30 outrageous
manner that the president Of the chamber would

correspondence Of the London Star;
The Ministor-President (after taking short
survey OF the proceedings on the Polish oues-

/ sure OF the governments foreign complications
should arise, the means for the defense Of the
country would be refused TO the King. Is not
that as much as saying to foreign powers: come

After silence had at length been in some
measure restored, the vice-pTesident said i
cannct siiow the minister president so hagrant-
ly 20 violate the rights Of this house. The
order Of the house is in my hands, and it is not
competent for ths president Of the State minis
try to break through it. I viii prove this to
him By adjourniug the sitting, If be ventures
sgain 70 return TO the resolution about refusing
tie taxes, which has nothing whatever 30 do
with the present question. ESh0uts Of .Brsvo;'

minister, after the restoration of silence, then
continued:
Deputy Iwestan made q severe attack on
The minister president, and said that il was
lamautsble thing to have to confess that the at

ment were well grounded livery true, u But
No are uniofiunatsly obliged TO declare that the
honor OF t5e present government Is 40 longer
the honor Of tho nation. Storms of applause
rom oil sides of the house. Far better would
1t be If the government would yield &C the 0pin-
ion Of is own Legislature a. homo than be
obliged 10 give la to the representations Of for
eign powers. But the governments does what It
likes with the revenues and everything. We
are IN the midst Of a military dictatorship and
have government Of aids-de camp to the King
in which the ministers only gallop about snd
give the orders they were Commanded TO dis
.nbGte. The indignation Of Europe IS trans
fsrfed from Russia on to Prussia Europe for
gets the eruelties and violence which Russia Sc

The minister president, 10 reference to a
statement of Twestan's, said be must take Lord !
Russell under his protection. The latter had
said that be did not zCow the text Of the con
gension; but this was ee Fything in the discus
sion Of the subject. The newspaper reports
we're false
The excitement produced by the minister's
ipeech is, I may add, tremendous. Berlin has
lsyer been so excited since 1913"
