LEGISLATIVE MEASURES.
The reichstag today continued its discus
sion of the quixOtic motion of Count Won
kanitZ to fix the price Of wheat at 2l5
marks per ton, rye 165 marks per ton aud
oats and barley at l55 marks per ton. The
motion was mere pretext to keep the
Rgrarlan agitation alive, and 1T was so
treated. The chief speaker today was
Count Won Bachem who denounced the
proposal as socialistic. Herr Benningsep,
on behalf of the National Liberals, also
denounced the motion, saying that never
before had motion of such dangerous
Importance to the state been submitted to
the house.
Herr Richter stated that it appeared that
all members would unite in the formation
Of great party to combat conservative
greed.
Chancellor Won Caprivi declared that the
motion caused complete block to the
government and added: Its adoption
would cause Germany to be suspected by
the states with which she had concluded
treaties of commerce, of having acted in
bad faith. While until now Germany's
reputation for good faith has increased
among foreign nations. the adoption of the
motion would cause me TO lose all conf
dence, aud should not be in a position to
continue the direction of the German pol
icy.
Furthermore. it would cause friction
between the various states of the empire,
and AS Conservative / can but deplore
the introduction of measure, the orig ma
tors of which only lDjuTe their own in
terests and those of the state"
Count Won Limberg-Strum having de-
Tended the motion. Caprivi again rose and
repeated his declaration against the
motion, and the house divided with the re-
suit that it was rejected by a vote of l59
to 46.
The minority included the anti-semites,
the members of the Peasas union, a dozen
Conservatives and others.
CAMERON ATROCITIES.
The official admission of the truth of
the reported atrocities in the Cameroons
causes indignation throughout the empire.
The only suggestion made as a possible ex-
tenuation OF the German officials is that
that their health was affected by the eli
mate and that this may have caused them
TO indulge N such excuses as f1ogging
women. But the hoggipgs were not by
any means the only atrocities which have
been brought home TO the German officials
of the Cameroous.
Engineer Gerhard, engineer of the
steamer NIGHTINGALE, recently on the CAM
eron coast, has written a letter published
in hich baS bat ha
ate negroes were hacked and mutilated
with knives, as Governor Wehlau gave or
ders not TO shoot them.
Another writer describes how the COVER
nor boosted that the soldiers understood
how to scalp, and, again, he says that

but when the dance was finished be did
not send them all back"
The German papers condemn Herr
Aden's proposals in regard to the rehab
ilitation of silver a. dangerous and involv-
ing the loss of 80 O00, 600 marks which the
empire cannot afford.

sumo his exercise on horse back.
