oERMANY's SOCIALISTS.
The Reichstag Continues It's Consid
Grafton of the Bill.


Grafton of the Bill.
BERLIN, Jan. 23.-Consideration Of the
socialist bill was continued in the Reichstag
to-day. After much debate the House
adopted the eleventh, thirteenth and
twenty-second clauses of the measure
During the discussion Herr Futh, minister
OF the interior, declared that the clause pro-
vldlng for a declaration OF a minor state Of
siege where and whenever the government
deems it expedient was indispensable and
urgently necessary. The period of opera
ton of the measure, he said, should not be-
restricted. Only permant measure would
be eflicacious.
The three clauses above mentioned relate
to the suppression Of periodicals and asso-
Citations and to appeals against decisions.
Herr Buhl said that the national liberals
were willing to vote for a permanent
measure. They were convinced of the
danger of social democracy, and were re-
solved to protect the state, but they must
oppose the expulsion clause.
THE EXPULSION CLAUSE REJECTED.
The House ultimately rejected the expul-
sion clause, and decided TO make the meas
ure permanent by a vote of 166 to Ill. In
the vote upon the expulsion clause, the con-
servatlves voted against the motion to omit
that clause, but explained that they would
acqulesce in the ommission If the govern
ment did.
Tne third reading of the bill is fixed for
Saturday next. Should the government
then insist upon the expulsion clause, it is
expected that the Reichstag will reject the
Oil, as the coalition against it is apparently
too reSolute to be overcome

The Berlin Press Dissatisfied, But the
English Pleased.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The publication
OF the Samoan treaty in Berlin has led to
its denunciation by the German press of
both parties, and dispatches received here
say that radical and conservative papers
alike call it "the German retreat"
WHAT LONDON PAPERS SAY.
LONDON, Jan. "a A. M-The Times
says the Samoan treaty bears handsome
testimony to Prince Bismarck's reasonable
ness. THAT so complete an equilibrium
should be established is much more than
we could have expected from him.
That he quietly consented to prohibition
of arms and alcohol, and to the land clauses
is probably due to British influence Their
insertion in such treaty is a remarkable
event in the history of the relations of the
civilized with the semi-civilized races.n
The Standard gives the treaty doubtful
approval. 1t says: "While it is good theo-
retically it is likely that difficulties will
arise. In any case provision is made for
revision ard the friendly ties upon which
the signal stands promises well for an honest
working contract.
