BERLIN, July Bismarck said the
Liberals by their negative attitude had
destroyed his hope OF efecting an un-
derstanding with them. He had re-
solved to support Frankenstein's mo-
ton, because he could not follow the
course proposed by other parties in the
Reichstag, as that course was but little
removed from the social democracy. lie

ment to vote supplies that had been
shaken. He said he had felt himself
abandoned, more and more, by the Ma
tional Liberals, but he had not broken
with any party. His constant
endeavor was to maintain German
unity. He considered that the tinan-

work would produce great blessings.
