will resume its slttings Jan. II. Its de-
bates, like those of the landtag, are los
ing the bitterness and keen enmity to-
wards the government which were
won't to characterize them during the
Bismarck regime. The discussion of
the budget before it was RENTED to the
committee, in which the party leaders
figured, illustrated the change in style.
Herr Bebel, in an imprisoned, yet
moderate speech, drew a SOmber picture
of the misery of the peasant under the
present policy of protection, which en-
riches the great landlords at the expense
of the poor consumers. Herr Bebel
cOntended that it was untrue that pro-
lection aided the small farmer, and de-
clared that the large cultivator and the
Teent-Heceiving Landlord
were the only ones benefited. A high
tariff on cereals and cattle, he asserted,
prOfted only the rich landholder and
impoverished the poorer classes. The
rural populace emigrated in masses
into the towns. thus increasing the mis-
cry, crime and diSaffection in the
crowded centerS of population. Herr
Richter attacked the military credits,
declaring that it was needless to main
tain the present expenditures in view
of the peace that now prevails in Eu-
rope, and the fact that 10 power was
menacing Germany. Dr.. Windthcrst
defended the governments agrarian
and colonial policy and denied that the
were due to the existing laws. 1t was
social morals, he declared, and not the
organization of society that was respOn-
sible for the evils affecting the people.
a reformer ought to aim to purify and
fortify society through religion. A
man who could be said TO be without
religion was
Only Beast.
The speaker was Interrupted at this
point by the Socialist members with
cries of what was Frederick the
Create" 'If Frederick was living now,"
replied DR.. Windthorst, ''you would not
be here" at which remark the members
laughed. Herr Bamberger made
practical speech, in which be attacked
the projected treaty with Austria, say
ing he was opposed to it if it involved
ditferential tariff. Chancellor Won Cap
rivi did not try to refute Herr Bam-
berger's arguments, merely contenting
himself with saying that he could not
discuss the treaty question pending the
negotiations. The fact is, lie said. that
the conferences in regard to the treaty
which are being held in Vienna are
coming to nothing, and are about to be
adjourned until February. with proba-
bility that they will never be resumed.
The TWO Governments
were making arrangements to directly
renew the existing treaty. DR.. Wind
thorst'S present thorough gong support
of the government is due to his reia-
tons with Chancellor Won Caprivi in re-
gard to the question Of religious orders.
The bundesrath has refused TO approve
the resolution adopted by the reIchstag,
by which theological students are per-
nitted TO pass the last six months of
their army service in hospital work.

pass measure for the recall of the
Jesuits unless Chancellor Won Caprivl
uses the whole of his influence with the
government to support their demands.
The Socialists in the reichStag will

speech of Emperor William upon
The Educational System
has had marked effect upon school
methods. The school reform committee
has voted unanimously to substitute
modern for ancient languages in all the
lower classes in places where there are
only gymnasla, and also to make such
change in the present system of real
schuten and the high middle class
schools as will enable the course to be
continued in the upper realschuten. In
Hamburg the town council has decided
to establish a higher middle clas school
in accordance with Emperor Williams
ideas. The committee of German Free
MaSons appointed by the grand lodge to
consider proposal emanating from the
lodges of the Rhine and Westphalia for
general congress of German Free Ma

the congress. The prince was deputed

Many medical men who came here
from abroad to study the Koch treat
ment are leaving with their hopes of its
success abated. Some specialists con-
tinue their demonstrations of the treat
ment, but the others have ceased to
offer inQuirers former facilities, Prof.
Bergmann, upon concluding his demon
STATIONS, announced that he had made
injections i'll 200 eases, but would not
pronounce definitely upon the results OF
