BISMARCK'S REASONS,
Why He Returned the LaSker Rcso

IutionS, Passed by the House.
A great breeze was created by Bismarck's
return of the resolutions of sympathy with
the German reichstag and family of the Ger
man statesman, Lasker, who died recently in
New York. These resolutions were introduced
Congress by Representative Ochiltree, of
Texas and copy was ordered to be sent TO
family Of Herr Iasier Upon their presen-
iation to Prince Bismarck for Transmission
to the president OF the reichs he returned
them with the following explanation:
" ANY recognition in a foreign country of
the personal qualities of German, especial
" when made b. 50 important body as the
House of Representatives, Is gratifying to
our national feelings. | should have CRATE
fully accepted the communication made by
Minister Sargent, and should have asked the
emperor TO empower me to present 1T to the
Reichstag, if the resolution had not contained
an opinion regarding the object and effect Of
Herr Iasker's political activity, which was
opposed to my convictions. According TO my
experience of the political ecorenic develop
ment of the German PEOPLE / cannot recog-
nize the opinion as one which events l have
witnessed would justify. should not venture
to oppose my judgment to the opinion of
such an illustriouS body as the House of
Representatives if | had not, by more than
thirty years active participation in the in
ternal policy of Germany, gained an expe-
rience which justified me in attaching a
certain value TO my Judgment in questions
of home affairs | cannot determine to ask
the emperor for the necessary power to COM
municate the resolution to the ReichStag be-
cause / should have officially t. advocate
before the emperor al opinion which can
not recognize as correct"
a Berlin dispatch says that the action of
Prince Bismarck in returning 10 the Ameri-
can Congress its resolution of sympathy at
the death Of Herr Lasker, intended for the
reichstag, continues to excite much COM
ment. The friends of the deceased states
man in the reichstag propose TO demand OF
Prince Bismarck an explanation of his course.
