The Prussian Parliamentary Bill.
BERLIN, March Sin the debate on tn
parliamentary discipline bill in the reichstas
yesterday, Prince Hohenlohe Largenburg
while emphatically disappearing the bill, an
nounced In the name of the free conservative
that on the second reading they would NOV,
that the standing orders of the house be mod
flied in accordance with some of its points
The principal incident of the debate wa
a lively encounter between Prince Bismarcl
and Herr Lasker. The latter declared tina
never since the existence of the reichstag ha
there been a single case where the proposed
measures would have been applicable. Tit
federal council had used much more offensive
expressions than those which the govern
ment sought to curb In the reichstag. Bis
Herr Lasker declared the bill implied an at
tack on the constitution and law. He ap
pealed to the house to reject it, and hold firm
to the principle that nobody must be allowed
to touch the reichstag's solemn right to make
its own regulations for the maintenance oil
its dignity.
Bismarck declared the reichstag at liberty
to accept such portions of the bill as il
thought proper. He could only say to them
/bp1lefifi0 MN Olf,yy16nfll1-l that the time
would come when the house will regard the
bill more favorably. Despite the probable
fate OF the bill it was the governments duty
to fulfill its responsibilities, the rest con-
cerned the house. AS an instance of the ne
cessity of some means of checking incendiary
speeches In the house, Bismarck pointed to
the fact that Hasselmann had, during last
session, threatened instruction by the
words: Let the chancellor remember 1.-THE
eighteenth of March, 184S." Bismarck con-
tinued: ''The government had hoped to find
an energetic support in combating socialism,
but it had been mistaken. He did not think
the struggle yet over, as was proved by the
Breslau election" He proceeded to point
to the American regul ttions for securing pro-
priety of debate in congress, and concluded
as follows: 1--WE trust you will stand by US
In the fight against socialism longer than the
two years prescribed by anti-socIalist law, with
the energy which we expected of you at the
time of the elections and OF the
attempts On the life of the emperor, and that
you will not be deceived by the mOmentary
silence Of the socialists. We cannot dispense
with the support o. the reic stag, but do not
expect that II we remain In Office tie question
will be settled by hostile vote on your part.
We must go further III the same dlrectol i.
We are entitled to have an opinion as well as
the reichstag, and would be bad patriots if
we acted IN opposition to the dictates of our
conscience"

YOKOHAMA, February THE foreign
trade is momentarily palalyzed; supposed to
be in consequence of speculations by holders
of Mexican dollars, but few of which are in

high. The native merchants decline all
in which they serve as a medium.

February 18th for Europe, on two years
tour of inspection.
Extensive preparations are ma king for
General Grants progress.
IL 1875 the Japanese finance minister first
introduced the western system of preparing
annual estimates of revenue and expendi
lures. Severe criticism was applied because
these estimates were never followed by re-
ports of the actual income and outlay.
Charges were made that the government was
afraid to reveal the truth, and that dis
closure of the real figures would overthrow
the administration. On February 7th COM
plete statement was issued for the fiscal year
1875, and 1t is now apparent that the delay
was caused solely by the difficulty of insti-
tuting such radical change in the collection of
returns throughout the empire. The estl-
mates of revenue and disbursements are less
by one million dollars each than the total
revenue.
