THE LASKER INCIDENT
Creates n Breeze in the Reichsta
i'm Spite of Bismarck and Ell

Creates n Breeze in the Reichstag
i'm Spite of Bismarck and His
Party.
In tho Reichstag yesterday, after the
president had been reelected, that function
airy announced the death of Herr Lasker
and Of other members who had died during
the recess. The Deputies remained stand
ing, as a mark of respect, while this an
nouncement was being made.
Herr Rickert, an Independent, speaking,
as he explained, on the order Of the day,
expressed thanks in the name of Herr
Laskers friends for the numerous tokens Of
sympathy which had been received. He
was particularly grateful to the American
Congress for tho action of the House Of Rep
resentativcs.
The president informed Herr RiclSert
that he was departing from the order Of the
day.
Herr Dr. Haenol progressist, admitted
that Herr Rickert had passed outside the
order of the day, but pointed out that this
only showed q defect in the usages of the
House. He referred to Herr Ricketts, praise
of the American Congress, whereupon the
president reminded him that he, too, was
departing from the order of the day but
he continued to speak. He said that he
had perhaps broken the rules, but he con-
sidered that he was justified, and pleaded
extenuating circumstances. "When body
like Congress" he said, adopts aattering
resolutions, we should pay as much regard
to them as is consonant with parliamentary
usages."
Baron Won Maltzahn contended that tho
rules of tho House offered no ground for
statement like Herr Ricketts, or for any
reference to the resolution Of a foreign par
lament which had not been officially COM
muncated to the Reichstag.
In the course Of further remarks Herr
Rickert referred to a protest made by Herr
Hammerstein against the course pursued
by the American Congress, and said that
the party he represented cared as little for
that protest as they did for the unjustiaable
interference of Prince Bismarck. This bold
declaration was followed by great uproar.
AS soon as order was restored Herr Won
Botticher, Imperial Secretary of the In
terror and Representative of the Chancellor,
said that he knew absolutely nothing of
any interference on the part of Prince Bis
marck. If the latter was requested to in-
form the Reichstag of resolutions adopted
by the American Congress, aud did what
he deemed right in the matter, his action
was not subject to criticism. lie concluded
by protesting against any criticism of
Prince Bismarck
DR.. Mailer, progressist, began speech by
directing attention to banner hanging in
the hall, which had been presented TO the
ReIchstag by COMMUNICATIONS, but he
was at once called to orderly the president,
and the discussion was closed.

NOT THE BOSS POKER PLAYERS.
There May DO Army Poker Clubs,
Hut Sheridan and McKcever Are
Net i'm Them.


Net i'm Them,
"What do the Army officers in the De-
partment think of tho articles going the
rounds of the press about the poker clubs
in military circles in Washington?" queried
reporter of one of the gallant warriors
who serves his country on special duty at
the War Department.
"Well, )" replied the hero, "the officers don't
mind them much, because they are so mac
curatc that, to anybody who knows any
thing about 1t, the mistakes tend to cast
doubt over the whole story. Now, there
are probably such clubs as are described, or
may be such, at least, but the enterprising
scribe who started the story that General
McKeever was the head of one AMI that
Colonel Michael Sheridan was the leading
spirit and most accomplished player of an
other rather spoiled the effect of his protest
against the wicked ways of
the officers in the eyes of
my Judge who is personally acquainted
with the fact, as / am, that General Nc
Keever never held poker.hand in his life,
don't know anything about it except what
he has learned by reading the newspaper
accounts of the club of which he is alleged
to be the head, and that Colonel Sheridan
has not shufflod the pastoboards siucc his
return from the Yellowstone"
"You mean to deny that there are any
poker clubs in Washington army circles?"
NO do not; but do mean to say that
the scrbes who picked out McKeever aud
Sheriden MS the boss poker-players of the
National Capital are responsible for the
most unfounded romance
