WASHINGTON. March 10.-Herr Won
Eisendecker, German minister, called at
the department of state and presented
secretary Freelinghuysen with the re-
turned Lasker resolutions, together with
an accompanying letter from Prince Bis
marck The president will probably
send communication on the subject to
the house this afternoon.
The message from the president was
transmitted without comment to the
house, and the documents received from
the secretary of state relative to the reso-
luton of the house on the death of Ed
ward Lasker.
Hiscock Immediately offered the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution. which
was referred to the committee on Foreign
Affairs:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to the knowl-
edge of the house that communication
from it to the parliament of the German
Empire entirely friendly in its intent, re-
spectful in its character, and sent through
the regular channel of international COM
munication, being arbitrarily intercepted
and returned by person now holding
the position of Chancellor ofthe German
Empire, therefore be it
Resolved, That this house can but ex-
press surprise and regret that it should
be even temporarily within the power of
single too-powerful subject to interfere
with such simple, natural and spontane-
GUS expression of kindly feeling between
two great nations, and to detract from
the position and prestige of the crown on
one hand, and the rights of mandatory
people on the other.
Resolved, That this house does relter-
ate the expression of its sympathies with
the parliament of the German empire, OF
which for many years ne was distin-
guished member.
Herr Lasker, however, found two
things to deprecate in the United States.
In the first place he deprecated the pro-
digal waste of the forests with which
this continent is so prodigally endowed.
He pointed out the fact that, while nat
urally we are 80 far superior to Germany
in this regard, the older country was far
more enlightened in its policy as to for
ests. There the people and government
were at the utmost pains to conserve and
to replace the occasionally denuded
parks. While there the grand, pr,meval
trees were not encountered in anything
like the prodigious stretches characteris-
tic OF the United States, there was the
most persevering replacement Of every
tree which was compulsorily sacrificed
for fuel or other purposes. He suggested
that, while necessity would ultimately
compel us to adopt the European plan
| in this matter, it would be wise to anti
cipate the iron exigency of the future,
thus saving us much positive damage
and vexation on the principle that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound Of
cure.
The second regard in which Herr Las
ker found the United States vastly in.
ferior to Europe was in our roads. In
the Old World, however great the sacri.
fee and Inconvenience in despotic forms
of government, the people had splendid
highways and byways. The initiative
set by the old Roman republic and the
old Roman ell pire of perfect roadwaye
culverts and sidewalks was religiously
adhered to by Germany and other ma
tons of Europe. He thought that in this
respect, as in the other, we might we'll
borrow lesson from the efete monarch
les of the Old World.
