A Lively Time I'm the Reiehstag.
In the Reichstag to-day, letter from the
Chancellor Of the Empire, Prince Bismarck.
was read. 1t announces, in the name of
the Emperor, and in accordance with the
decision of the Federal Council, that the
sum for the maintenance of a German le-
CATION TO the Vatican is struck out of the
Budget.
The deputies from Alsace and Lorraine
sent a written notice to the President of
the Chamber that, in view Of the condition
of their country, they cannot serve on the
Committee on the Alsace and Lorraine
Budget AID loan bill. Both communion
tions were referred to committees.
In the course of the debate on the esti-
mates for the committee of the Federal
Council, Herr JOerg, ore Of the Bayarian
deputies and a member Of the Clerical
party, made a vehement and bitter attack
on Bismarck's foreign policy. He remark
ed that, in consequence of Russia holding
aloof, the Chancellor had made a fiasco of
his attempt at intervention in Spain. He
wished to know whether the committee of
the Federal Council, which, according to
the constitution, existed for the consider
atoms Of questions Of foreign policy, per-
formed any functions.
Prince Bismarck replied that
all the important diplomatic
dispatches were communicated to the COM
mittee, which met whenever summoned by
the President. Nothing was concealed
from any Of the federated governments.
He emphatically repealed the insinuation
that the Federal representatives did not
adequately protect the rights of the various
States. There had never been any idea of
intervening in the affairs Of Spain. When
apprised of the murder of Schmidt, he said
to himself, ''Such thing would not have
happened to a British, French or Amer
lean citizen" He remembered the hu-
Mutations imposed on Germans, and
considered that the time had arrived to
ayenge such wrongs. The only way of
helping Spain was to recognize those ele-
ments of the country which were disposed
to restore public order. Russia was less
affected by Spanish concerns than Ger
many. He respected the decision of Rus
STA as power with which Germany had
lived in intimate friendship for a century.
He then said: '.If continued, your darts
directed against that friendship will miss
their aim. 1 can quietly bear the charge of
fasco."

(Great tumult in the Chamber.)
"You may thrust Kullmann away; he
nevertheless belongs to you"
Here the house burst into cheers, which
were loud and long continued. As the ap-
plause subsidized, cries Of ''pfuil pfuir' were
heard from the UltramOntane benches. The
President declared these EXPLANATIONS IN
parliamentary.
Prince Bismarck have no right to
censure such EXPLANATIONS. Pfui is an ex-
preston of disgust and contempt; / myself
am not a stranger to these feelings, but
hope am too polite to use them.
Herr WindhOrSt, an Ultramontane, arose
and said, that in his speech from the bal
cony, in Kissengen, after Kullmann's at
tempt, Bismarck gave the signal for an
attack on the Centre. II was wrong to in

drifting, without that, towards war.
Prince Bismarck repelled the accusation.
He pointed to the Indictment in the Ultra
montana press and to events leading to
the attempt of Kullmann on his life, and
added: "Were to believe half the Ultra
moLtane papers say against me, who knows
what should dO?"
