BERLIN. March 6-In the debate oh the
parliamentary discipline bill yesterday,
Baron stanfenberg, Vice-President Of the
Reichstag, who, in consequence of his
Office is considered as authority on the

and destroying all parliamentary freedom
of speech. He related how Bismarck had
once prevented him from speaking in the
Reichstag, cd how, vhsa he subsequently
published . pamphlet TO explain his view,

BosToN, March 6.-What appears to be
another gigantic fraud has just to come to
light. The Mystic Valley railroad was or.
ganized sometime since to build a narrow
guage road from Boston, to connect with
the towns lying along the South Mystic
Valley with Boston. But eleven miles Of
the road have been built thus far and thi:
was charged at SIS 900 per mile on the
books of the corporation, though it wa:
known that the expenditures for every pur.
pose have not exceeded 100000 This led
10 an examination by the railroad COM
missioners, and as 4 result have called upor
the Attorney General to take action in the
matter.
