BERLIN, March SIN the Reicbsta,
today, after the President had been re
elected, that functionary announced tn,
death OF Lasker and other members dur
ing the recess. The deputies remained
| standing while the announcement wa:
being made. Rickert, Independent
speaking as he explained on the order
OF the day. expressed thanks in the
name OF L4sker's friends for tue mapy
tokens OF sympathy received. He va.
particularly grateful to the American
Congress for the action Of the House OF
Representatives.
The President informed Rickert tina,
be was departing from the order of the
day.
Hammerstein, in behalf of the Con
servatives, protested against the action
OF RIckert and against the course pur-
sued by the American Congress-
DIR. Hanel, Progressive. admitted that
Rioksrt had passed outside OF the order
OF the day, but pointed out that this
only showed a defect in the usages. He
referred to kiekert's praise Of the Amer
lean Congress, vhereupon the President
reminded him that he too was depart
ing from the order of the day, but ne
continued speaking.
He said that he had perhaps broken
the rules, but he considered that he was
justified and pleaded extenuating cir-
cumstances. When body like Con-
gress," he said, adopted hattering
resolutions, we should pay AZ much re-
gard TO them AS is consonant with par
liamentary usages."
Baron Won Maltzahn commended that
the rules of the House offered no ground
for - statement like that of Rickert's,
or any reference to the resolution of a
foreign Parliament not officially COM
municsted to the keichstag. He said
the right of the House should be up
held. There was no deficiency in the
rules OF the House. but there was in the
manners of the House, as was clearly
proven by the fact that the Left had at
tempted to cry down HAmmerstein's
protest.
Rickert explained that the Left had
interrupted Hammerstein because, con-
trary to the rules of the House, be had
read his statement. The Left, he de-
clared cared as little for Hammerstein's
protest as they did for the unjustitiable
Interference of Bismarck
This declaration was followed by a
great uproar, and as soon as order was
restored, Won Battischer, the Imperial
Secret Try of the Interior and represent
alive of the Chancellor, said he knew
absolutely nothing of any interference
on the part of Bismarck. The latter
WAS requested to inform the keichstag
of the resolutions adopted by the Amer
ican Congress, and did what he dsemed
right in the matter. His action was not
subject to criticism. He concluded by
protecting against the criticism on Bis
marok.
DIR. Braun stated that tho rules of the
Reichstag we're based upon those of the
Prusslan Landtag, i'll which eulOgistic
speeches on the OCCASION of the death
of Richard Golden had been ruled out
of order.
Richter, replying to Won Bat ischer,
maintained that the deputies had a
perfect right to criticlse the official acts
Of the Chancellor.
DR.. Miller. Progressive, began speech
by directing attention to the banner
hanging i'll the hall, which had been
presented to the Reichstag by German
arms, but he was at once called to order
by the President.
The discussion disclosed that Rickert,
before the opening of the keichstag,
had Informed the different groups of
the speech he Intended to make. He
said the speech had been drawn up after
consultation with the leaders of the new
party. The members of the Center
promised not to interfere, but the Con
servatives protested against making the
speech. 1t is generally regretted that
Lasker's name was made the subject of
50 stormy a discussion, and the conduct
of the President of the Reiohstag Is gen.
orally commended.
