EXCITING TIMES IN THE RE1oHsrAa.

LONDON, March 1O.-In the course of de-
bate in the German reichstag on the cattle
plague, Bismarck, referring to the snug
Cling of cattle, took occasion to accuse the
| liberals of having made penal code 80 mild
that it protected criminals instead of citi-
zens. Herr Laskey said Bismarck's aggres-
sion showed where was the true element of
disorder. In the debate he intimated that
the first aim of the gag law should be to
control the language of the government.
Bismarck replied and an angry controversy
ensued. During the same debate Bismarck
ostentatiously quilted the house twice to
avoid the disagreeable necessity of listening
to the speeches of Herr, Richter progressist.
| The house was greatly aroused at this dem
| onstration, but some older members view
| ed the matter more seriously. The sitting
left the impression that Bismarck was de-
liberately trying to provoke the diet, and
| that dissolution is eminent. It is certain
the situation cannot continue as now. Bis
marck during the sitting promised to fur
nish statistics relative to emigration. He
said the movement is greatest from the less
populous districts.
THE CRISIS IN BURMAH.
CALCUTTA, March 1O.--Affairs in Mandoley
cause grave anxiety. Garrisons IN British
Burmah have been doubled. Tho Burmese
have interrupted the telegraph line between
Rangoon and Mandoley. The situation in
upper Burmah is regarded as very serious
for European residents. It is stated the re-:
cent massacres at the instance of the king,
only amounted to forty, but the killing was
attended by every possible atrocity. The
victims were beaten and kicked, and the wo-
men shockingly and shamefully abused. The
royal princes were reserved to the last, and
made to witness the torture to death of their
families.
