ID ulster, rising g q question Of priv.
read resolution adopted by the Execu.
party in the German Parliament, OK
pressing its appreciation of the action
Of the House Of Representatives in pass.
ing the resolutions in memory Of Hon
Edward Lasker. Tho Speaker stated
the question was not one Of privilege,
but by unanimous consent Deuster waa
permitted to continue. He said tho Ex.
ecutive Committee of the Liberal Union
expressed the sentiments Of the people
of Germany. The spectacle nov pre-
sented was peculiar a. seen through
American eyes. Prince Bismarck. the
autoorat Of the German Empire, was
the embodiment Of an idea antaR0nistic
to American institutions. He had re-
turned tho Lasker resolutions. This
might stand to the prejudice Of the
German people. but the resolution of
the Liberal Union oOntradicts that as
sumption. From An American stand
point, death broke down all political
feeling, and in tho presence of an open
grave the universal brotherhood of man
WAS the inspiration Of the hour. The
same was true Of the German people,
and IL they were misrepresented BY q
man in place Of power they had Ne
other method Of setting themselves right
before the world than by resolutions.
In presenting this resolution in his Off
oial capacity 40 q member of this body,
No native Of Germany, and As an
adopted oitizon Of tho United States, he
desired to express his earnest conviction
that the action Of the Liberal Union was
indeed the true feeling of united Ger
many, and that tho action Of Prince
Bismarck would not arise above the
dignity of Q personal vexatiOn, in NO
way affecting the kindly relations now
existing between the two nations. Il
might be premature now TO criticise the
action Of Prince Bismarck, but when
tho official information thereof was in
possession Of tho House he would en-
deavor to show that tho Lasker resolu-
tions we're kind and proper.
0upther denied that the people Of
Germany we're hostile to this country or
its institutions. or that the letter OF
Prince Bismarck in returning the Las
ker resolutions reflected the sentiment
OF that people. They did not approve
of his diaoourtesy, neither did they en-
dOrse his sutocratic action in prohibit
ing the importation OF American prod
uCts.
Kassou regretted that the incidents
referred 10 should b made IN any dc
gree the subject Of debate. In his opin-
Ion the House would better consult its
dignity By waiting until some Official
Communications reached IL that i'm
proper comment had been made upon
its action. when Il was informed that
the interest and honor Of the country
had been affected, there would Be no
doubt Of perfect accord between the too
sides OF she H0uss touching the action
20 be taken. He moved TO refer the
resolutions presented by Deuster to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Il
WAS % ordered.
The HOUSE resumed consideration Of
the pleuro- pueumonia bill. tho pending
