SCENE IN THE GERMAN REICHSTAG.-A
motion was carried in the German Reich
stag yesterday increasing the salaries of
two officials in the chancellery. A motion
was Also made to create second director
ship in the ministry for foreign affairs which
met with considerable opposition. In the
course of the debate Prince Bismarck spoke,
justifying its passage. He reminded the
house that he was compelled in 1877 10 ssk to
be relieved of his functions because of over.
work and i'll health. He had only been able to
continue III Office by the law providing him
with a substitute. If the house refused to
grant the means with which to provide the
substitute with suitable compensation, he
must decline to be responsible for the
foreign policy. When he declared on his
oath that the new post was necessary the
refusal of the house to establish it was
virtual declaration that he was either ignor
ant or incapable. II have sacrificed my
health and my strength" he said, "in the
service of the emperor and the fatherland
Don't refuse what is necessary to the best
Interest of the service"
Prince Bismarck, continuing his speech,
severely rebuked the house for wishing to
prevent him from continuing his policy.
Such action by the house, he said, would
render mobilization unnecessary, even after
the millions that had been spent thereon.
He gave his official assurance that his pres.
eDt staff was inadequate. A refusal to com
ply with his request would only embitter
his life.
Herr Vollmar limited that official oath his
were worthless, as had already been proven
in the law courts
This statement evoked great uproar,
and protests and calls for order were made.
Bismarck protested against such treat
ment and claimed that he should be treated
with the decency prevailing in educated
society. The motion to create a second
dictatorship was then put to vote and lost
by al against to liz for.
