THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR.
Caprivf Speaks Out Plainly IN the
ReichStAg.


BERLIN, Dec. IA. 4.-There was much ex-
element in the Reichstag to-day when
the Spanish treaty of commerce was in
troduced for second reading. Manteuffel
attacked the general and commercial
policy of the Government, whose treat
ment of the agricultural classes encour-
age agrarian agitation.
Won Caprivi made vigorous reply.
He said it was true the Russian treaty
would be made at the expense OF hus-
bandry, inasmuch as the grain-prO-
ducing State must receive concessions
through il. The Chancellor added that
he only opposed the method of agitation
resorted to by the Farmers Alliance,
and asserted that it was not conservative
to appeal to the majOrities against the
authority OF the Government. The lat
ter must seek support from large por-
tions Of the population, and not from any
individual party, and would take sup
port where he could find it.
A remark by Caprivi to the effect that
the deputies should not be influenced by
the masses caused decided sensation.
Abiding to the currency, the Chancel-
lOr said that it was impossible to take any
step in that direction unless England
Joined in it.
The Chancellor denied that the buying
power of gold had risen high enough
to injure German husbandry. The
Prussian Minister of Commerce was to
make inquiries on the subject, extend
ing into the interior of Austria and
Africa, and the result of this inquiry
must be awaited. The head of the English
Government, Gladstone, had most point
edly expressed his antagonism to BIZ
metallism, and therefore a change in the
attitude of England could not be hoped
for. Ii be himself, continued the Chan
cellor, were a fanatical bimetallist, he
would not under the present circum-
stances move single step in that direc-
ton.
Both the Spanish and Servian treaties
passed second readings by large majori-
ties.
SPEECH OF POINT AND NERVE.
LONDON, Dec. IA correspondent of
the Post at Berlin, says: CaprivPs speech
in the Reichstag was made when he was
fresh from an audience with the EN-
peror. He was evidently in the highest
spirits, and treated the Reichstag to
speech of such point and nerve as has
not been heard by that body since Bis
marck retired to private life.

postal savings banks.
Chairman Morgan of the Committee on
Resolutions submitted programme for
the naturalization of railways, mines,
telegraphs. etc., as proposed by English

ployers for physical disability, abolition

lition OF the sweating system, municipal
ownership of street cars, electric and gas
plants, naturalization Of telegraphs tel
ephOnes, railways and mines, collective
ownership by the people of all means OF
production and distribution and the ref
erendum in all legislation.
The presentation of the platform caused
very lively discussion, some Of the del
egates considering 1t too nearly socialistic
or anarchistic.
at the afternoon session resolution
was adopted favoring series OF national
and international labor congresses to cul-
inmate in an international demonstration
OF labor organizations in all countries.

spiracy trial to-day the Assistant Post
master at Tacoma testified that G. J. Null
key, one of the defendants, rented box

ment, was to be paid to Collector of Gus
toms Lotan, was for the most part paid
by Blum to Whitney l.. Boise, hartman
OF the Republican State Central Commit
tee, who handed it over to Lotan. When
the Merchants Steamship Company quit
business it owed Lotan about $1,000.
Blum estimates the amount of money
paid by him to Collector Lotan at about
So 900.
Blum also testified that he paid Thomas
Jordan, Captain of the Customs In
spectOrs, 81 900 during the brief time he
was in on the deal. A number of letters
from Blum and Dunbar to Wilson, their
agent at Victoria B. c., containing allu-
sions to the shipping of Chinese, were
introduced. Blum had memorandum
of the transactions in the Chinese and
and 90 1893. Among the items of receipts
and expenditures mentioned in the mem
orandum are: Remittance from Major
John Wilson, for passenger money, SO;
paid Lotan $3.50; received from Seid Back
$3.50 80: remittance from Wilson for Chi
nese passenger account, S473 so; gave
Jackling $50 and $40; paid Lotan 5000:
sold two Chinese tickets to Seid Back for
$50; received from Wilson, for tickets sold
Chinese. 5000; paid Boise 500; paid Tom
Jordan $3.50; received remittance from
Wilson of $40 for Chinese passenger;
paid Boise $3.50; paid Lotan $3.50; paid
Mulkey $1,000.
Blum stated that Dunbar had left in his
hands check drawn in favor Of Boise for
$500, which he took up and paid in cash.
He sold a number of. tickets to Seid Back
and other Chinese, which are accounted
for in the memorandum.
The cross-examination of Blum then
began, the defense attempting to show
that Blum was induced to turn States
evidence by promise of immunity on
the part of the Government.
