EXCITEMENT OVER B1sMARcK's SPEECH.

- Berlin, January 24.-The speech of Bis.
marck in the reichstag, to-day, created great
excitement. 1t was an emphatic aressertion
of the doctrines Of the imperial rescript as to
the relations between the Prussian king and
the people, direct challenge to the reichstag,
and very aggressive in tone.
1t caused tremendous uproar in the house,
although otherwise it made favorable inn
preston. The expression which Bismarck
pronounced equally absurd with, s.the king
regns but does not govern" was "a censtiiu-
tonal absolutism of the ministry" which Herr
Haenel had need in attacking the rescript, not
ministerial responsibility, as reported in
previous dispatch. gIGrWE5 {. ,EE}b -
-.-~- THE PROSECUTED JEWS. - :
, London, January 22.--The lord mayor, in
consequence of the requisition signed by the
archbishop of Canterbury, bishops of Lon
don, Gloucester, Manchester and Oxford, Car
dinal Manning, Professor Darwin, Samuel
Morley; Professor Jaret, Matthew Arnold,
Lord Elcho and the earl of Theftsburg has
called meeting of the mansion house on Feb
ruary list to max declaration of opening
the question relative to the persecution of the
Jews in Russia. The Journal de st. Peters,
burg angrily comments on this agitation in
England. 1t says that though the agitation is
carried on under mask of PHILANTHROPY, It
has its main spring in feeling of hatred to-
ward Russia, and the displeasure with which
political factions viewed the excellent rela-
tons between Russia and England which have
existed since the accession of Mr.. Gladstone.
The Journal declares that accounts of riots
are malevOlently exaggerated. As the govern
ment is considering legislative measures in re-
gard to the Jews, the Journal begs the foreign
press not to inflanie the question already bris-
Ting with difficulties. b .Frig.st.' 8s,.f
BIsMARCK'S LATEST SPEECH. ..,
Berlin, January 24.-In the reichstag to-
day, during the debate on the budget, dis
cussion arose concerning the late imperial re-
script. Bismarck said it did aim to create a
new constitution, the maxim, ''the king reigns
but does not govern" did not apply in Ger
many. The expression ministerial RESPONSE
bility'' was equally absurd. He declared that
the rescript remained mistaken by the attacks
on it. He was fully aware of his responsible
ity in signing it, and that he was responsible
for all acts Of the sovereign, he said, and not
to parliament, that Germany owed the posi-
ton it enjoyed. Bismarck asked whether any
one could reproach him with cowardice.
There was a great uproar on the left. He
stepped forward and repeated the inquiry,
saying: 'ls there any one among you who
