r Herr Babe Socialist, replied that the
ruling circles evidently wished to pro-
woke the social democracy to acts OF vto-
lence in order. to crush it, by military
force but he added the Socialists did
not intend to be entangled in snare.
The minister of war warmly repudiated
Herr Bebel's allegations and quoted an
article from the Norwaerts, the Socialist
3: organ, suggesting that he, the minister
-of war. ought to be shot like 4 mad dog.
Herr Osann, National Liberal; Count
Won kardoff, Free Conservative, and
T.Herr van Legvetnow then announced on
behalf of their respective parties. that
sithey would follow General Bronzart Won
:Schellendorf in Supporting he. govern
ssment on paragraph III against the com
m;ttee amendments. A decision was
called for and paragraph III was rejected:
The Conservatives, lmperialists and
: National Liberals voted in the minority.
The same paragraph was amended in
committee, ana was then put to vote
and was also rejected, the Centrists alone
supporting it.
Herr Won Richter. the leader of the
Peoples party, then remarked: Let
us abandon further debate SO that by a
decision we may quickly rid the world of
the whole thing.
s The words of Herr Richter were greeted
with much laughter and his advice was
forthwith acted upon Amid much ex-
ctement the various amendments were
formally withdrawn and curious scele
!, ensued. The majority, in the gayest
spirits, rejected each paragraph as it was
put from the chair. When the last para
graph was disI osed of the antiSemites
and the members of the left cheered bos-
terously and the session was adjourned
amid intense excitement until Monday,
when the discussion upon the customs
convention with Australia and the tobac-
co tax will be taken up.
There is much discussion in political
circles tonight at the unexpected denoue-
menJ and the effect it is likely to have on
the emperor. The ge neral belief ex-
pressed is that the minister of the inte-
ror. Herr Won Koeller. must fall with the
tanti-revolution bill.
Z Herr Bronzart after the final vote had
been taken on the antirevolution bill
said Better thus than the committees s
@biu had been defeated.
9 The bundesrath convened promptly at
the reichstag building. Prince Hohenlohe
presiding. At 10 O'clock Saturday the
F-pundesrath was in session.. The cores
s4pondenu of the Associated Press heard a
report emanating from semi-otfcia
:sources to the effect that despite the ru-
emors current in the lobby it is still prob
able that modification of the anti-revo-
luton bill will be introduced at an early
udUe LII any tNeub IL 10
that the reichstag will not dissolve. Ru-
-..mor has it that the government is appre-
shensive that in the present state of the
temper OF the people elections would re-
suit unfavorably.
Herr Richter. the Radical leader
,-prophesies another crushing defeat for the
government next week when the tobacco
bill is up for action. The entire Socialist
party is elated over the defeat of the anti
revolution bill. Mass meetings are being
held in many places tonight and many
ARE the iubilant speeches that are being
made.
Emperor William received bulletins
hourly today of the proceedings in the
reichstag. He has made satemenG to
the effect that, acting upon the advice OF
Prince H Hohenlohe, he will not interfere
personally to bring about any results
more in keeping with the wishes of the
governme ent leader. The fact that Prince
Hohenlohe did not make a speech after
the defeat OF the anti-revolution pill in
the rechstag today has created some sur
prise However. this attitude only con-
tirms his recent position on this measure.
