Prince Bismarck declines TO bs the med

courteous motives for the single

Mr.. Won Eseu decker, German minister,
said TO a reporter OF the Associated Press
to-day in reply to enquiries In
regard to the return OF the
Ls,ker resolution that he had carried
out his instructions. His governments
action IN the m after was, he said, twofold.
| In the frat place it was compelled, for im.
port ant reasons relating 10 the internal
politics OF Germany, not to send rtsiiu-
lions 10 the reichstsg, and yet IL could not
merely retain it, since that might have i'm
Piled indifference or discourtesy and the
course pursued by the government was
certainly the most courteous that the situa.
ton permitted. The minister i.lt entirely
satisfied, he said, that there was no disre-
spect or discourtesy intended on either
side.
