peace did not succeed, emphatlcally declared
that there ground to doubt the recipro-
cal bona fdes of the powers allied for the preser
vation of peace and for their own security. In
consequence of the marked dis placement Of Rus
sian troops and their transfer in the direction of
the Austrian frontiers. the government without
doubling the CzSr's pacific declarations, and
avoiding all senblance of provocation. consider
it its duty to sec that necessary
measures were taken to assure the safety of the
frontiers and the efficiency OF the army in case
of an emergency. The alliance Of the central
European powers had never been anything but
. league of peace, purely defensive and foreign
TO any aggressive action. He hoped the peace
loving monarchies and governments would sue
coed in maintaining peace and removing the
feeling OF insecurity which weighs heavily on
Europe.
He warned the House not to believe newspa-
per kilograms and rumors, which. he said. were
either bourse maneuvers or 'tfeelers." He denied
that Count Kanoky had met with strong oppo-
sition in regard to his political decislona It
was also untrue that Count Bylandt- Reydt, the
Austrian War Minister. had asked war credit,
and had been refused. in consequence of Herr
Won Tiszas objections. Further. there was no
ground for the suggestion that the monarchy was
unable to rely upon its allies to perform
that which it was justified in expecting
from them. Regarding the military measures
that had been adopted by the government. he
said: Every one knows that we aim at no ex-
tension of our influence in violation of treaties
nor at any increase of territory, as has been
falsely attributed to us"

he lacked the eloouence OF a Breckenridge, the
impetuosity of q, Randall, the polish Of

a great deal of natural power; and though his

are many worse speakers than Mr. Thsbe in

outwardly greatly enjoyed. although they verged
a little too close upon the truth to be very
agreeable to the inward consciousness Of many
a member. His suggestion that if the rule OF
'rather be right than be President" prevailed
the House would be deprived of many of it's
prominent members, was not acceptable to those
gentlemen who are lending willing ear to the
syrenic buZzing of the presidential bee, while

enthusiasm of the freshmen of the congressional

GERMAN SOCIALISM.

A Heated Debate In the Reichstag Over the
Terms of the Pending Legislation.
Copyright 1888. by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, Jan. 28.-The debate the anti
Socialist bill was resumed in the Reichstag to-
day. Herr Won Helldorf and Councillor Held,
plenipotentiary of SaSony. spoke in favor of the
measure, and Herren Bamberger and Koschelski
against it. Herr Marauardsen announced that
the National Liberals would vote unanimously
for two yeare' prolongation Of the existing
law without any alteration.
Herr Won Puttkamer tainted Herr Bnmberger
with supporting the Socialists for political
reasons, and declared that the new German
Liberals would lose half their seats if Herr
Bebel only chose to give the word. He Putt
kamerl would. however, say no more than to re-
assert that the government considered the
measure absolute necessity.
The debate marked by rnwonted fervor.
The House was crowded. and intense interest
excited by Herr Marquardsen's intimation
that the National Liberals would not support
the measure in its present form.
In the discussion in the Hobbies after the de-
bate the consensus of opinion was that the gov
eminent would be defeated if they persisted in
attempting to pass tie bill The National Lib
erals. Centrists aud Progressists. all declare
against the measure The Centrists will join
the National Liberals in advocating the pro

the government will be forced to
accept, besides abandoning the new repressive
clauses, Herr Banberger made a powerful
speech. He especially attacked the paragraph
enacting that any German who taxes part, in a
foreign country, in a meeting to promote the
doctrines of socialism, shall be punished with
imprisonment and deprived of his rights
citizen. He denounced this clause the acme
of unwise legislation and a disgrace to q civil
ICED government.
Herr Reichensperger, on behalf of the Gen.
trists. declared his party opposed the bill be-
cause the increased punishments were too

and should not be made permanent. If other
countries followed Germapy's example. there

GLADSTONE AND THE POPE.

The Great EngDishman Decides that He VIII
Not Visit the Roman Pontif.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON. Jan. 28-The report that Mr. Glad
stone intends TO visit the Pope is quite uufound-
ed. For many reasons such visit is undesira-
BILE. Mr. Gladstone has wish to interfere in
any degree with the representations which will
be made to the Pope by Monsignor Persico
with regard to home rule. A visit to
the Vatican the part OF the late
Prime Minister will be open to much misunder-
standing. aud there is, perhaps, no place from
which, and regarding which. more inaccurate
reports published. The experience Of the
Duke of Norfolk is sufficient It is still the be-
lief of many that the Duke had political mis-
sion. whereas mis- function was nothing but
complimentary, and his second and fairly
private visit has been not less the subject of
Misrepresentation.

A GREAT MYSTERY.

At Tuscaloosa, Ala, four murders have
recently been committed, and in mystery
they equal the Whitochapel crimes.
About two weeks ago the dead body OF
John Hill, coored, was found near ne
gro dance hall in the suburbs. His
throat was cut and there were fifteen
knife wounds in various parts of the
body. The dead and decomposing body
of an unknown negro was found recently
in the woods near town. This mans
throat had been cut from ear to ear. The
coroner spent two days in investigating
the case, but learned nothing, not even
the name of the dead man. The dead
body of another negro man was found in
the Warrior River, just below the town,
two days after. This mans throat had
been cut and his skull crushed in by
blow with some heavy instrument. This
crime remains as great mystery as the
other. On Sunday morning the body Of
the fourth victim was found in the woods
just outside the town, and again the
throat had been cut from ear to ear. The
colored people Of the town are wildly
excited and believe that some murderous
hoodoo is among them. Many of them
have left the town, and even the boldest
cannot be induced to leave their houses

GIGANTIC RAILROAD DEAL.

At meeting held in New York on
Monday of the Richmond and West
Point Terminal Company, bargain was
closed for the entire capital stock of the
Georgia Central Railroad Company,
amounting at its par value to $12, 600,
900. This Georgia company's stock is
predicated upon a majority of the capt.
tai stock of the Central Railroad and
Banking Company Of Georgia, the most
prosperous and one Of the largest rail-
road systems in the South. Hence, by
the purchase which the Terminal COM
pany made, it acquired absolute.and per-
petua control of the great Georgia Cen
tral, and thereby increased the mileage
Of its own already extensive system from
five to eight thousand miles. This trade
has been pending for long time, but
lack of harmony in the syndicate owning
the Georgia company stock has hereto
fore prevented anything like agreement
on price at which all parties would
sell. For the last six months the Geor-
gia company has been divided into two
irreconcilable factions About week
ago John Inman secured from all the
Georgia company stockholders an option
on their stock at $50 per share. This
option he transferred to the Terminal
company. This purchase by Mr. Inman,
as president of the Richmond Terminal
Company. of twelve million dollars Of
Georgia Central securities gives him con-
troll of that vast system; is the most inn
portant trade in railroads made in the
South in twenty years. 1t puts him in
direct control of the Richmond & Dan
vile system, the East Tennessee system,
and the Georgia Central system, covering
eight thousand miles of railway, and
twelve of the finest steamers that float
the ocean Besides this, he is a lending
director in the Louisville s. Nashville
Road in the close confidence of its pres
ident This makes him leader in the
management of twelve thousand miles
of railroad, and an immense line of
ocean steamers. This means the control
of every road that enters the state Of
Georgia. 1t means direct rail lines from
Baltimore to New Orleans, and from Sa-
vannah to St. Louis.

PROHIBITION SUSTAINED.

The United States Supreme Court, in
Washington, D. c., sustained the consti
nationality of the prohibition law of Iowa.
The point at issue was the right to manu-
facture intoxicating liquors solely for
expectation to other states, despite the
state law, and it was pleaded that the
prohibitory feature, in so far as the manu-
facture for expectation is concerned, was
in conflict with the constitutional provis-
ion giving Congress the sole Tightto regu.
late interstate commerce. The case is that
of j. S. Kidd, distiller, plaintiff in error,
VS. |. Z. Pearson and S. J. Loughras.
The court holds that the state law pro-
hibiting both the manufacture and the
sale, except for mechanical, medical, Gu
linary and sacramental purposes is not in
conflict with the interstate commerce
provisions of the Constitution, and the
decision of the Iowa court is sustained.
