force of Zulus and that the la tier were defeat

probably circulated by the Zulus to delay the

EXCITING SCENE IN THE REICHSTAG.
BERLIN, March 1.-THE reichstag to-day dis
cussed the report explanatory of the action Of
the government in instituting petty state of
siege in Berlin. Herr Liebknicht, socialist,
strongly censured the measure. which he pro-
nounced wholly unjustifable. He declared
that his party was party of reform, not revo-
luton. He defended the course of the social
ist deputies in not rising from their seats when
cheers were given for the emperor. The presi-
dent of the reichstag, amid cheers, remarked
that this conduct offended the moral sense of
the chamber. Herr LlebknIcht continued if q
republic is established in Germany-(He was
unable to finish the sentence in consequence of
the uproar which his words provoked). The
president threatened to deprive him of his
right of speech. Count Won Enlenburg ex-
planned that the governments reason for pro-
claiming state of siege was that Berlin was
in great danger, because it was the home of
the socialist agitation. Referring to what he
termed the assassination and murder epidemic,
he said investigation showed that the instru-
ments of crime were prepared in Berlin and
East Prussia.l Reichstag took formal cog

At the close of Herr Lieblanchs speech the
president of the reichstag threatened him with

indescribable.
