The deputies from Alsace and Lorraine
sent written notice to the president of tho
Chamber that in view of the condition OF
their country they can not serve on the
and loan bill. Both communications were
referred to the committee.
In the course of the debate on the esti.

Gil, Herr JOerm, one of the Bavarian depu.
ties, and member of the clerical party.
made a vehement and bitter attack on Bis.
marck's foreign policy. He remarked that
in consequence OF Russia holding aloof tho
Chancellor had made iasco of his attempt
at intervention in Spain. He wished to
know whether the committee OF the Federal
Council, which. according to the cOnstitus
ton, existed for the consideration of ques.
tons of foreign policy. performed any funce
tiOns.

was concealed from any of the federal gov.
ernment. He emphatically repelled tho
insinuation that federal representatives
did not adequately protect the rights OF
various States. There had never been

Germans and considered the time had

way of 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 a power with which Germany
| had lived on intimate terms of friendship
for q century. "If," continued Bismarck.
| "your darts are directed against that friende
ship, they will miss their aim. lean quietly

| Referring to the assertion of JOerm, that
| Kullmann was a madman, Bismarck res
| piled: "He was not mailman. You don't
| want to have anything in common with
| kullmann; that c0mprehenl but he clings
| tightly to your coat tails. l asked Kull-
| mann why he attempted to kill me; he
answered on account of the church laws,
and because you injure my party. asked
Ultramontanes." Abiding to Kullmann,
who confessed he attempted his assassinae
tion in the interest of his church, address
ing the UltramOntanes. he said: you may
thrust Kullmann away; he nevertheless
belongs to you"
Here the House burst into cheers, which
were loud and long continued. When this

from the Ultramontane benches. The Presia
dent declared the exclamatlons unparlia'
mentary. Bismarck said: II have no right
to censure such q exclamatiOns. 'Pful is
an expression of disgust and contempt. l
myself am no stranger to these feelings, but
hope am too polite to 30 express them. "
Windhorst (Ultramontane), rose and said
that in his speech from the balcony in kis-
sengen. after Kullmann's attempt, Bismark
gave the signal for the attack of the CENTER
and it was wrong to incite one party against
another. They were drifting without that
towards war.
Bismark repelled the accusation; he
pointed to the continued Indictment in the
UltramOntane press to events to lead to the
attempt of Kullmann on his life and added,
"Were l to believe half of what Ultra
montane papers say against me, who knows
what I should do"
Lasker declared Windhorst's remarks
about melting to war unworthy Of a repre-
sentative of the people. The President
called Laskar to order.
1t is reported the deputies from Alsace
and Lorraine were so incensed at Bismarck s
speech of the thirtieth ultimO that they
threatened to withdraw from the Reichstag
aud quit Berlin, but their friends remoD-
strated with and induced them to stay.
The Reichstag was to day engaged in s
discussion upon the estimates of the foreiga
l office. UltramoDtane Deputy Windhorst
spoke at length. lie assaled the govern
| ment for suppressiDg the legation at the
| Vatican, and declared that such actios
| would not estrange German Catholics !reis
J the Pope.
Bismarck also spoke. He said that upers
! reading the report of the last debate in the
| Chamber he discovered that he had ex-
! pressed conciliatory sentiments, which
he must now withdraw. because he did
! not desire to expose himself to mis-
| representation that the imperial govern-
ment sought peace with Rome upon any
terms. Germany recognized the Pope as the
head of the Catholic Church. but required
no legation at the Vatican. If negotiations
| with the Pope are necessary, they can be
conducted through the amba ssa dor to Italy
SO long as the Pope urged the Catholic
! clergy to break the laws OF States in whcts
they live. diplomatic relations between him
self and Germany were useless. The Vatican
| desired victory for France in the late war
That could be proved. In conclusion Bis
marck said he would meet Windhorst in
discussion on the subject again in the Prps
