Gavane, when cesson OF territory on the
lett bank Of the Rhine was discussed ?" add.
ng, 81 myself was not present, but met with
this statement OF the interview in q reliable
quarter" After reply from Herr Kleoppel the
motion was allowed to drop, and the debate on the
Civil Marriage bill was resumed Prince Bismarck
shortly afterwards entered the House and OBJ
tanned leave to speak on matter OF privilege. He
characterized the statement OF Herr Won Malinck-
rodt as an audaclous and lying invention made in
malignant and cauminatOry manner. The I'M
