Copyrighted 1890 by the New York Associated Press
BERLIN, Jan. 25.-Those favored with
tickets to the galleries Of the reichstag to-
day waited in vain expectation of hearing
or seeing Prince Bismarck till the last
moment when Herr Won Boetticher, the
representative Of the chancellor. il an
nouncing the session summoned the mem
bers to hear the imperial message in the
white hall of the schloss. The crowd held
on, but its disappointment was great
Herr Beble, the socialist, opened the de-
bate. He denied that state persecution eff
fected anything towards the destruction of
socialism. Herr Beble here proceeded to
compare the present administrative
system of Germany with that of
Napoleon Ill 1t was TO be
placed to the credit of the social democ-
racy, he said, that anarchisn had disap-
peared. In concluding his speech he
(Behle) predicted that his party would be
strong enough to destroy the present ma
jorlty III the reichstag.
Herr Herrfurth. minister of the interior,
in reply to Herr Beble, said that the law
struck at the social democracy only when
when it was tresspassing upon the limits
of the law. A majority OF the socialists
chung to the doctrine preached by London
founders OF the movement. The socialist
leaders didGot represent the masses Of the
people and least of all the workingm
They represented those who did not want
work.
Prince Schraich Carslath, moderate con-
sentative next spoke. He reminded the
house of the statement made by the social
list Diotae at Thursdays sitting and the
author of the pamphlet printed in Zurich
entitled "a woman's hand iu German pol
tnyv Itrrlyn Of fNny
G0tha. The manuscript, it was asserted,
had been sent to the publisher with some
hundred mark notes The Hamburg police
had suppressed a poem about a railroad
man sacrificing his life to save train, but
the Zurich pamphlet was not suppressed,
though English ladies of high rank and
German lady of exalted position who,
though Graded in England, had been con-
nected with Germany for veal or woe for
thirty years, were insulted in It,
The pamphlet had to find a publisher
outside of Germany IN the socialist press
Of Zurich.
The queen of England and her daughter
could not be insuited in Germany with I'M
punity. The prince continued TO protest
against the article in the National lei
tung, giving as watchword for the COM
ing elections, Down with the socialist
democrats" Although he was a deter
mined opponent of the opinions of the So
cialist bill and the procedure of the GOV
eminent should not lead to situation
incapable of any issue but that of force,
the people as well as the government
must be left in the certain possession of
free choice of means for arriving at a COM
mon end. There was in social democracy
good deal otldeal1sm, a quality gradually
booming very rare IN Germany, and one
that is giving away to public hunting.
This closing remark was received with
cheers from several of the political groups
of the house. The prince received very
hearty congratulations from his friends.
The vote On the whole bill was soon after
wards taken. As the government alb
stained from any declaration showing its
willingness to accept the bill without the
expulsion clause the conservatives voted
mo" with the progressists, the center
party and the socialists, against the COM
bined yeas of the imperalists and the
national liberals. The bill was rejected
by a vote Of 1863 against it to IS in favor.
Only Baron Umruhebombat. of the i'm
perial party, and Herr Sedimayn, of the
national liberals, voted against the bill.
As soon as the vote was concluded Herr
Boeticher, amid the suppressed excitement
OF the occasion, announced that the session
was closed and requested the deputies
to convene at the schloss at 6 p. IN. The
emperor, surrounded by his ministers and
the general officers of state, received the
deputies il the white hall of the schloss at
that hour and read to them his speech as
follows:
THE EMPEROR's SPEECH.
''The past three years constitute period
of such exceptional Importance in the de-
velopment of the empire that my feelings
constrain me to recall from the throne it
self the results to which your labors, COM
nod wit of ha faHa
have led.
The empire has been sorely tried by
death, but in the trials made by
the loss Of the emperors my
grandfather and my father, the
loyalty and the strong monarchical
feeling of the people have found an edify-
ing demonstration. The position of the
been assured and the country enabled To
fulfill its mission in the world, whilst
successfully preserving the blessings Of
peace and civilization"
Facilities have been given artisans by
extentions Of the power to trade guilds to
strengthen their position and to gain in
economic prosperity the advantages of
new impulses. 1t was his urgent wish and
hope that the next reichstag would be en-
abled by action in concert with the govern
ments of the federal states to
give an effective legal form to the amelio-
ration necessary in this field. He regarded
it as his most earnest and exalted task to
labor forward to the fulfilIment of this
hope by the abolition of the contributions
to the widows and orphans fund. Officials
in the service of the government would
obtain the main benefit, which was not to
be undervalued, though it might not suf-
fee to satisfy the just wishes of less favor
ably situated classes of officials. Moreover,
by vote of the federal government the
reichstag would be enabled to offer a
pledge of improvement in the position
of middle class officials at an early date.
He concluded by thanking the Deputies
for their faithful and laborious work and
hoped for the continued peace and pros
perity of the fatherland.
The absence from the speech of all polit-
ical illusions and the failure to make any
mention whatever of the socialist bills
surprised every one. The deputies cheered
the passages relating to old ages and in
trinity insurance law and the emperor's
expression of the desire for further legisla-
tion for ameliorating the condition OF the
workingmen.
