BebeI that no member could be prosecuted for
utterances in the Reichstag. The general de-
fense was similar to that in the Chemnitz
trial, namely. that no secret Socialist organiza-
ton existed of which the accused were members.
Herr Bebel admitted that there was sort OF an
organization in the sense of q community OF
ideas and sometimes of common action at the
elections. He denied that the Socialists were
apsweFabe for articles published IA the Zurich
Social Democrat When questioned regarding
an lncendiary article, he said that such ideas
could only haunt the diseased brain or Most;
that they had nothing akin to the reasoning OF
the German Socialists
Herr Auer described the idea of German So
ciaiism as the spontaneous support given to men
IN whom the people confided. Hundreds or
thousands belonging to no secret society gave
that support. He said there was no regular
method OF collecting election funds, the Social
lists relying upon free donations. So, also. the
Socialist journals were not sustained by the
party.
The dignifed moderation of the defense cre-
ated profound impression.
Herr Kessler, a government architect, and ed
itor or the Bauhandworker was recently ex-
pelled from Berlin under the Socialist law. He
took leading part in the last masons strike.
Upon leaving Berlin he went to Brandenburg.
The police there gave him one days notice to
quit From Brandenburg he went to Bruins
wick, where he received three days notice to
leave both the town and the duchy. He then
took refuge in Frankfort.
The National Zeitung and the Cologne Gaz-
zette protest against the present unbearable po-
lice regime, and demand that the Reichstag seek
remeay at the earliest opportunity.

CLOSING DAYS OF CONGRESS.

Lack of Interest and Absence of the Usual
Rush and Clamor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Aug 1.-The closing days Of
this session of Congress will remain memorable
in the minds of those who have taken part in
them. on account of the lack of interest evinced
Instead of the rush and clamor for the passage
of scores Of measures there has been shown an
Indifference that is as remarkable as it was rare
The contentious within the ranks of the major
ity in the House on account of differences
of opinion as to tariff, internal revenue, etc.,
early in the session created an apathy which
made it almost impossible to enact anything of a
substantial character. Then the feeling which
has existed between the chief executive and the
majority in the Senate has placed barrier be-
tween that body and final action.
Whether the changes in the next House bring
about majority for the Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, better condition of affairs is expected to
exist then The Democratic majority will be
small. at best, and small majority closes the
ranks against dissensons, and insures better
work and more of it than where the majority
is large Should the Republicans have the
House, as the indications suggest, they say they
will see how much legislation they can pile up be-
fore the President.

Activity of the Propaganda-Courts That Are
Organized to Convict.
BERLIN, July 31.-The Socialist propaganda
was never more active than it is at the present
time. Although there is no positive organiza-
tion, the entente is becoming perfect between
the leaders of the organizations. There is q re-
port that project is on foot for general strike
early in the coming winter
The Correspondence Conservatorie afirms
that the Conservatives are becoming convinced
of the inefIiciency of the law against the Social
lists, seeing that it in nowise hinders the spread
of socialist doctrines or the increase of their
party.
Herr Liebknecht, the Socialist Deputy, will
sail from Hamburg for New York at the end of
August He will lecture in the United States,
under the auspices of the National Labor League
of America on German socialism
The severest sentence that the Freyberg tribu-
nal can infictl is expected for Deputies Bebel,
vollmar, Auer and Viereck. Throughout the
trial the purpose of Herr Vallaert, the director
Of the court, to convict the accused, was clearly
shown. For instance, when, at the beginning of
the trial, Vollmar and Viereck denied that the
court was competent TO hear the case against
them, because the Chemnltz tribunal, before
which the first trial was held. had not sent the
Gaze to the Freyberg court, Herr Valaret
cnrfly overruled the objection. Again, Herr
Vallaret admitted incriminating extracts from
speeches made by Liebnecht and Vollmar in the
Reichstag, Notwithstanding the protest of Herr
