10 and tho Government might better give
MONEY at once to Major Wissmann or tho
tion would at least reap some solid adyan-
taco from its expenditure.
DR.. Windthorst spoke from tho midst OF
\ fraqrant ard beautiful bank Of flowers
placed around his seat. 10 was his seven
fieth birthday. and the congratulations Of
his personal friends and political admirers
had come to him in this pleasant form. lie
said he thought the bill was being unduly
fastened; TINT il should be submitted TO
the country and further consideration left
for the next Reichstag.
Professor Virchow denied that twas pos
sihle 10 colonze Africa with men OF Eu-
rope because of the climate.
DIR. Won Stephen. Minister of Posts and
Telegraphs, argued in favor of the bill. and
said il was a measure toward augmentlng
and completing the already successful
work of Major Wissmann. lie announced
that the lines OF telegraph would soon be
constructed in East Africa. and declared
that Transvaal or the South African re-
public was so much interested in the pro-

the massage OF the bill by promising the
support of tho National Liberals upon the
second reading of the bill. which was fixed

II Is expected the Boichstag will be dis
solved at the end Of next week. Dr. Scheli-
opuinger, Prince Bismarck's physician,
counses him 20 remain 1t tredrchruhe.
Int il is asserted he insists upon gong TO
Berlin in the hOp0 to fOrco the passage Of
the Socialist bill and TO give inspiration
and the war-cry for tho electoral conflict
10 the Government parties. His Intentions
are. however, wrapped in mystery and pro-
duce greater anxiety than the coming cleo
I tons themselves.
The Westphaiian Gazette repeats the, &C

fOmented By French agents md kept gong
