SHARP DEBATE IN THE GERMAN PARLIA-
NEST-In the German Imperial Parliament,
Yesterday, letter from the Chancellor OF the
Emnire. Prince Bismarck, was read. 1t an
pouuces 10 the name of the Emperor, and 10
accordance with the decision of the Federal
Council that the sum for the maintenance OF
the German Legation to the Vatican is struck
out of the budget
The Deputies from Asace and Lorraine sent
a written notice to the President Of the Cham
Der that, 10 view of the condition OF their coun'
try, they cannot serve with the Committee on
the Alsace- Lorraine Budget and Loan bill.
Both communications were referred to com
mittee.
In the course of debate 90 the estimates
for the committees of the Federal Council,
Herr Joerg, one Of the Bavarian Deputies, and
member of the clerical party, made vehement
and bitter attack 90 Bsmarck's foreign policy
He remarked that, ia consequence OF Russia
holding aloof, the Chancellor had made hasco
of his attempt at Intervention ia Spain. he
wished 10 know whether the Committee OF the
Federal Council which according to the Con
sti,ution, existed for the consideration OF ques-
tons of foreign policy, performed any tune
tloDs.
Prince Bismarck replied that all important
diplomatic dispatches were communicated to
the committee, which met whenever summon
ed bv the President. Nothing was concealed
from apv of the Federal Government. He en-
phaticaIly repealed the inslnuatlon that the
Federal representatives did not adequately pro-
tect the rights of the various States. There
had never been any idea Of intervening 10 the
affairs of Spain. When apprised OF the muir
der of Schmidt he said TO himself such thing
would not have happened to British, French,
or American citizen. He remembered the hu,
mutations formerly imposed on Germans, and
considered tie time had arrived to ayeoge
such wrongs. The only way oil helping Spain
was to recognize those elements IN the country
which were disposed to restore public order.
Russia was less affected by Spanish concerns
than Germany.
He respected the decision of Russia as q
power with which Germany had lived 10 lutl-
mate friendship for a century. Ii, Continued
Bismarck, your darts are directed against
that friendship, they will miss their ann. |
can quietly bear the charge OF hasco. Refer
ring 10 the assertion OF Joerg that hullmann
was madman, Bismarck replied: HE was
not madman. You dou't want to have any
thing in common with kullu,an that compre-
heDd, but he cliugs tightly to your coat-talls
asked kullmapn why he wished to kill ME !!
He answered 90 account of the church laws,
and because you injured my party. l asked:
Which party? and he replied: The Centre
or U,ramoutanes. - Great tuuult in the
Cham berS.
You may thrust Kullmanu away; he never
theless belongs to you
Here the house burst into cheers, which were
loud and long continued. As this applause
subsidized cries of 'ptui, 'ptui,' we're heard
from the Utramontane benches. The PreSi-
dent declared these EXPLANATIONS unparllamen-
tary.
Bismarck have no right to eepsure such
EXPLANATIONS Piui is az expression OF dis
er to these feelings, but hope | am too polite
to so express them.
Windhorst, Utramontaue, rose and said that
in his speech from the balcony 10 k,sseugen,
alter kullmanns attempt, Bismarck gave the
signal for tie attack on the Centre. 1t was
Wong TO !uclte one party against another
They were drifting, without that, towards war.
Bismarck repealed the accusauon. He point
ed to the continued incitement 10 the Ultra
montane press and to the events which led to
the attempt CT kulImanu Oh his lite and adj
ded-''were | to believe half of what the Ultra
montana papers say against me, who knows
what / should do. y
Lasker declared Windhorst's remarks about
iuclting to war unworthy of representative OF
the people.
The President called Lasker to order.
It's reported that the Deputies from Asace
and Lorraine were so incensed at Bismarcks
speech of the 30th ult that they threatened to
withdraw from the Rechstag aud quit Berlin,
but their friends demonstrated with and Undue
ed them to stay.
The London Daily News correspondent in
Berlin telegraphs that the debate continued
uuti late hour amid scenes of great excite
ment.
