Speech in the Reichstsg.
DID BISMARCK LIE:

Chancellor Csprivi Says tho Famous Ems
Disparc Was Not Forged.
BERLIN, Nov. 23.-The lonR-looked-for
event OF the present session of the Reichs-
tag occurred to-day. The army bill was
introduced by Chancellor Won Caprivi.
who made o most important speech upon
the relations existing between France and
Germany. He said he did not intend to
justify the bill by referring to war in
sight or by INDUCING in gloomy forebod-
ings. He added: Il Will disclose the whole
truth. We are at peace with all nations
and encounter no difficulty in any quarter
in maintaining the dignity of the nation.
His Majesty, the Emperor. has Justly re-
marked that Heligoiand was the last piece
of the globe we desired to acquire. Ger
many will not provoke, for there is no
prize to gain by victory, but neither will
she undertake to prevent war more than
she did in 1870"
Chancellor Caprivi continued: Tho
House is doubtless aware of the public in
dignation excited by the avowal of Prince
Bismarck that he had forged q dispatch
from Ems in 1870. with the view of precipi-
Eating war between France and Germany.
In order that the House and country might
judge OF the accuracy OF the statement. the
Foreign Office has furnished to me. from tho
archives. q telegram from Privy Councillor
Abeken to Prince Bismarck, dated July Is.
1870. stating that his Majesty. King Will
lam. had complained OF the obtrusive be-
havior of the French ambassador on the
promenade. and also q letter from his
Majesty ordering Privy Councillor Abeken
to telegraph to the Baron De Werther
that his Majesty was indignant at
the imputstions of the Duo De Grammont
and of the French ambassador in regard TO
his 1.-THE King's) conduct and that his
Majesty reserved to himself the right to
take further steps. These facts" added the
Chancellor, prove that his Majesty. the
late King and Emperor. was not the old
weakling that Prince Bismarck has been
lately suggesting and also prove that Ger
many in 1870 did it's utmost In the direction
of concIliation."
Chancellor Won Caprivi declared en-
phatically that Prince Bismarck had not
falsified the dispatch. and that it was un-
true that King William was too concilia-
tory or had not struck the proper note In
dealing with France. The Chsncellor's
speech was followed by prolonged applause.

CoRYDoN, Ind, Nov. 23.-The prelim-

rison county. for the killing of Villa d.
Hetb. town marshal of Corydon, was begun
before Squire r. 8. Kirkham to-day. and
will likely be concluded tomorrow. The
testimony Is somewhat conflicting. but
there Is little doubt that the Justice will
hold Shuck to the Circuit Court, where he
will have his final hearing. Shuck sets,up
the plea of self-defenee, claiming that
he did NOT resist arrest. but that
he did the shooting after the mar
shall had knocked him down with his
billy. The prosecution charges that Shuck
was drunk W hich fact is admitted by the
defsnse), and that he was raising q dis
turbance. and that when Marshal Heth
undertook to put HIM under arrest he shot
him down without warning. A number of
witnesses bear testimony to both sides of
the story.
