Speech by DIR. Windthorst.

Tho Measure Severely Denounced by BebeI-
Speech by DIR. Windthorst
BERLIN, Jan. 30-The Socialist debate was
resumed in the Reichstae to-day. Herr Bebel
spoke three hours, denouncing the measure as a
disgrace to the government. It would annihi
late the remnants of social liberty, he said,
but not prevent the growth of socialist ideas.
Herr Veg Kardroff, Conservative, spoke in
favor of prolonging the present law and in
creasine it's strincency. but refused assent to
the banishing clause.
DIR. Windthorst expressed desire to see the
social democracy combated in the most decisive
manner, not after the repressive methods of
the bill, but by electoral means. He said that
upon the bills going into committee he would
prepose to modify it's severity, and If the pro-
posal was rejected portion of the Center would
support prolongatior of the existing law for
two years. while the remainder would vote for
its abolition
The committee on the bill will consist of
twenty eight members. It is reported the gov
ernment will agree to Withdraw the expatriation
clause. but will insist on prolongation for five
years of the present law.
When the military bill comes up for dis
cussion. on Thursday. the Centrists will de-
mand priority for debate on the loan project.

On being ordered to recross the lire by two
Prussian gendarmes. they refused to do so, and

Fatally Tortured by Burglars.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 30.-In the Kimishi
mountains, Indian Territory, early on Saturday
morning, five masked men called at the house of
Reuben Williamson, a wealthy cattle owner,
living about six miles from Spring station. and
called him out. He was then seized and bound.
The party then entered the house. and. arousing
Mrs. Williamson, demanded to be shown where
the money concealed. Williamson had.
early in the week. returned from Kansas City.
where he had sold about $4,000 worth of live
stock, and the cash was supposed to be in the
house Failing in their efforts to get either
Williamson or his wife to tell where their
money was, they tied Mrs. Williamson in a
chair, took her husband. and after building fire
in the stove, held his bare hands on the heated
metal After he was rendered unconscious,
Mrs Williamson told the outlaws that all the
money except $500 had been depositsd in the
Merchants Bank of Kansas City. She turned over
the deposit check and cash on hand after which
they left. Williamson's injuries thought
to be fatal, as he is nearly sixty-fve years old
and the shock to his system is very great. The
settlers and ranchers in the neighbornood were
aroused, and strong party are on the
trail of the flying outlaws who have taken
fuge in the noun tains. 1t is hardly likely they
will escape, and if captured they will certainly
be lvnched
