Berlin, March 1.-THE deba4e on the
Russian treat yesterday disappointed the
crowded house. 1t was begun with vigor.
but lost interest rapidly after Chancellor
Won Caprivi and Freiherr Marshal Won
Biebe rstein made their short busines-like
replies to the attacks of the opposition.
The agrarians, in final desperation,
tn rev oil all pretense Of argument and in
voked support of their cause in the name
Of loyalty to the emperor and empire, but
theirappeals were treated with quiet con
tempt by the house. During the whole
debate the titled Prussian land owners
had hardly word to say concerning the
harmful influences of the treaty on the
gram growing districts.
THE APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.
They dwelt with monotonous repi-
titions, however, on their opinion that the
treaty was being pushed through in obe-
dience to the cars dictation That
Germany should accept a commercial
agreement to avert war with Russia,
they said, was to degrade the empire in
the eyes of Europe and to weaken its in
tiuence among the powers. Several
agrarian speakers pleaded the cause of
the ew baiJers, saying that the treaty
would afford the Jewish usueTs further
power to prey upon the peasant proprie-
tors. Ereihcrr Won Heeremau, a catholic
bishop from Westphilia made the noyal
protest. that the treaty was unchristain,
and would work special injury in the re-
ligiOQs community. Herr Won KardOff, in
a personal attack upon Chancellor Won
Caprivi said that Prince BiSmark would
never have been misled into closing a
treaty with Russia for such a long term.
To bind fast the German tariff for ten
years. he said. showed a deplorable lack
Of political and economic foresight.
DECENTRALIZATION OF THE PARTIES.
The vote disclosed the decentralization of
the parties AS was expected, the conserv-
ative, national, liberal and'clerical leaders
did not hold their men together, and
many voted independently, while others
declined to vote at all. Count Herbert
Bismarck answered mo- when his name
was called. The majority for the treaty
is expected to be still larger at the third
reading.
The Sunday newspapers discuss yester-
days vote at great length. The Ger
mania clerical. saws that though the vote
was very Disappointing the opponents of
the treaty should not lose all hope. 'It is
likely TO be different" continues the
writer, when the vote is taken on the
entire treaty. We learn that many depu-
ties have now received the freedom of
their individual inclinations, and that a
result which will abate the governments
triumph is not improbable"
RAP AT CAPRIvI.
The Kreuz Zeitung. the organ of the
agrarian conservatives, says. Under
lrnce Bismarck, Russia knew wei that
She would not be able to obtain from us
the ions share In dealing with Chan
CelIOr Won Caprivi, however, she was not
afraid to demand anything. The govern
ment got this treaty on the terms that
Germany give and Russia take every
thing The friends Of the chancellor will
do well not to brag. Their 10y viii not
last long, rs our surrender viii not alter
Eussia's radical hostility"
The NOssiche Leituug, moderate rddi-
cal, says "Chancellor Won Caprivis vic
tory yesterday was much more important
than the one he gained in the struggle
over the army bill. Yesterdays vote
ought to make any further discussions uu-
necessary
The Tageblatt, radical, says: "a great
deed has been cOnsummated. The noisy
campaign Of the agrariaus failed sigualIy.
and peace at home should now be Sc
Cured.n
SPLIT AMONG THE POLES.
The lobby has been agltated by the re-
Tort that aerr Won KOsciol Koscielsk,
Emperor Williams protege, is about to
resign the leadership OF the nineteen
lOIsh deputies because of party dissen-
slons over the treaty. Prince Radiwill
denied this report yesterday. The Poles,
moreover voted solidly with the govern
ment. The Polish leaders determination
10 retire is, in fact, due to purely per
sonal differences with other conspicuous
members of this group.
MIQUEL's FINANCIAL REFORMS.
After The Easter recess the Beichstag
VIII begin earnest work on DR.. Miquels
financial reform OF the imperial revenues.
10 THIS part Of the government pro-
GFaHme the radicals have been attaching
numerous reports of some changes in the
c"3met. Chancellor Won Capriv is said
10 he seeking his release from Office, as he
considers the passege of the treaty
ntting close for his political
secretary of the interior, is
named for provincial goyernorship, and
I4f. Miguel is again reported as Count
L-enburg's successor IN the Prussian
premiership. These reports are without
IoondatiOn in fact. They were made out
VI whole cloth by the aCrarians, who wish
~ u'sJ Chancellor Won Caprlvi, and We're
.-eh handed over to the radicals for dis
seMnation.
