great nation. OohlltTee then delivered u
sulogy on the higher abilitirs and noble
character Of Lasker, and said tho oompl!'
ment to Lssker was a rebute " thu Germ Al
| chancellor, because they wers the antithe-
els OF each other. The present Incident "

was moulded. He had ey,r been n fstsi.
or and sycophant 10 royalty. who had nov'
ar upheld this rights ofthe people, snd new
or lost an opportunity 20 donounco public
sovereignty. The pfoudest bora, OF th,.

tree then amid some laughter. read M er.
tract from letter written by Lssker SONS
days before bis death Ia which no rafers "a

foreign ministers.
Boiiord inquired Cronioally) whether II
would he In order for psmberto Offer a
resolution presenting the apologies OF the
house to tho German ohancell0; for having
troubled him.
The speaker replied it would.
PHELPS said this matter, st first OF very
little c0ug,queDce, Had b. come OF great
consequence. AS the committee had unani
mously agreed upon the report 10 won
seem there ought to he an explanation. Or
the OH OF January tina members we're clos
inE their desks preparatory TO Adjournment
when the gentleman from TeXqs (OchiitrefI
sent TO tho clerks desk q series of resolu'
tons aud asked unanimous consent fol
their adoption. After waiting until the
resolutions were read unanimous consent
was given aud the house adjourned. Aitsi
tan days the house was startled by the m
formation that the chancellor had refused
to accept hem, and next morning the mem
bsrs hunted the record to see what
thev had done. They read they had cX.
pressed regret at the death OF LasS9r aud
81 mpa,hy with the German people at his
loss. This wae true. They read also thai
they bad expressed the belief that the free
ann liberal sentiments OF the deceased had
| advanced the material and social interest.
OF his country. This was true, but be-
tween the Two truths there was this differ
I Gnce--one Was truth which the bOusf
could export, the other was a ruth IL could
not export. The house could sny 10 re-
gretted the death OF Lasker sud send III.

no right to send that opinion TO friendly

member OF this body, that, unexplained,
was an iunulting act OF tho German ohai
Uellor. Ia Tho resolutions offered by tina
gentleman Lhe house wss offered some sal
islaction in ceneuring this servant OF TN
German empire and people who had PROVED
to be "a bsd postman." The hoase haC
concluded It WAS right TO wait awhile ant
the gentleman from New York was wil.ini

Curtia briefly reviewed and defended tn
features Of the report and the resolution
were adopted without division, although a
unsucc,sHru effort was made to have tn
yeEb and nays ordered.
Curtin submitted the following turtle
report relative to the memorial Of tho lib
ertl union of the German parliament Ia

presses no just an appreciation OF the actlo
of this house and 80 cordial n wish for th

committee, therefore, recommends III
adoption Of this following resolution: r

Gates tho wishes of the liberal union men
bsrs Of the German parliament for clos
Hnion OF the two nations, and rscOgDiz'
their graceful appreciation OF it, gympath
with thofe who mourn the death OF Edwar
Lasker.
Resolved, Tho house accept these resoll

the journal.
G1onther clared his belief that the cit
xsns o! the United States, wbo.hor natiV
born or nsturAlizsd, we're not in favor
submitting 20 rfrontp on tho national 81
nifty, not even by the most powerful OF n
tions without ressnting them In the mo
decided manner. He was opposed to Il
spol oge.ic tone OF tho resolutions ad opte'
though he was heartily in favor Of thol
now under consideration.
Cox, Of New York, thought She houi

rslchstag. II was thanking the people

to lose all dignity, all pluck, all American
ism that belonged to this congress. Her
was the house discussing how 1t might Del
put i's mouth in the dust bslow this bloc
