BERLIN. Dec. 17.-H am someW4at lato in
sending you the full account OF tho extraordinary
scene which occurred in the Reichstag on the 4th
OF this month, it is because knew TINT the tele-
graph would give you the out1ipe Of the occur
renee, and TINT wished to take day or two to
ascertain what the effect Of Prince Bsnarck's
startling behavior and still more astonishing
charges would be upon public opinion in Ber-
I'm. The scene came to pass In this Wise
Eighteen months ago it VAS proposed by the
advanced Liberals in the Parliament to strike
out the appropriations Of 313,275 for the
pay Of the Germsn envoy to the Papal Court.
But Prince Bismarck would not consent to this.
Ho at that time contemplated reconciliation
with the Papacy, although it must not be for
gotten thc. BY his own story, he knewthen all tho
horrible things about the Papaoy which he told
three days ago as if they we're new revelations.
Prince Bismarck has now altered his plans. He
has either found that . reconciliation with Rome
is impossible, or else he does not now wish it;
and 80 when the question of the appropria-
ton came up again three days ago he moved
to strike it out. The Centre party-the party
OF which tho Catholics, form the largest por-
tion-naturally resented this, aud the fight
began by DR.. Jorg, the leader OF the Bayarian
Catholics, making sharp attack upon the gem
era1 foreign policy OF the Chancellor. He began
by complaining that the Chancellor had not per-
niited t1e Foreign Affairs Committee to meet
once this year. and thnt during this period be
had managed Affairs simply to suit himself.
.sHis management" said Dr.. Jorg, "Was one Of
meddling and provoking interference with the
affairs OF other countries. In February last he
sent a dispatch to Versailles saying that Ger
many would not wait for France to attack her,
but would attack France whenever she thought
| it most to her advantage The only justinca-
| tion for this threat WAS that two French
Bishops had issued addresses to their
| focks clothed in somewhat bombastic Ian
| guage. Such an outrageous and flagrant
| interneddling in the inner affairs OF a foreign
| nation might easily have given rise to var
which would probably have become religious
conflict Of the most deplorable and fearful char
acter." Here the Liberal side OF the House
on: "The course OF the Chancellor with regard
| to Spain was quite Is bad. Selling the moment

been thrown into state Of frenzy BY the con-
| fellow, Kullmann the Chancellor dropped upon

Bismarck in reply nade the following speech.

trembled with rage;- he threw himself into
dramatic attitudes, and beat the air with Wild
