planned. on the order of the day, expressed
thanks in the name OF Lssker's friends for
the many tokens of sympathy received. He

Congress for tine action of the House of Req

tives, protested against the action Of Ricke ert,
and against the course pursued by the Amer

Baron Won Maltzhan cOntended that the
rules of the House offered no ground for
statement like Rickert's, or for any refer
ence to the resolutions of foreign Parlia-

manners Of members of the House, as was
clearly proved by the fact that the Left had
attempted to cry down Hammerstein's pro-
test.
Rickert explailei that the Left had inte.-
rupted Hammerstein because, contrary to
| the rule of the House, he had read his state
ment. The Left, be declared, cared as little

uniusti6able intes snce of Bismarck.

roar.

action was not subject to criticism. He con.
cluded by protecting against any criticism of
Bismarck.
