Conservatives that on the second reading they
would move the standing orders Of the House. mod-
fed in accordance with some of it's points. The
principal incident of the debate was lively
ter between Prince Bismarck and Herr Lasker. The
latter declared that never the existence of the
Reichstag has there been single where the pro-
posed measures would have been applicable. The
Federal Council had used much more offensive ex-
pressions than those which the government
sought to curb in the Reichstag. Prince Bis
marck himself had once used the word ''ie." Herr
Lasker declared the bill implied attack on the
constitution and the law. He appealed to the House
to reject it, and to hold firm to the principle that
body must be allowed to touch the Reichstag's
solemn right to make Its own regulations for tho
maintenance of its dignity.

Prince Bismarck declared the Reichstag at liberty
to accept such portions of the bill it thought
proper. He could only say to them benefcia OBJ

regard the bill more favorably. Despite the probable
fate of the bill it the government duty to fulfil
its responsibilities The rest concerned the House.
As instance Of the necessity Of some means OF
checking incendiary speeches in the House. Prince
Bismarck pointed to the fact that Herr Hassel-
mann had during the last session threatened
insurrection by the words, LET the Chan
cellor remember the 18th Of March, 1s4S."
Prince Bismarck continued 1.-THE government had
hoped to find energetic support in combating Social

the struggle yet over, proved by the Breslau
election. He proceeded to point to the American
regulations for securing propriey Of debate in Con-

implicitly follow the Cars advice, even
though it should cost him part or the
whole of his territory after the war. The

had the strength to carry on the war for
fully two years if need be. The ambassa-
