Won Arnim's Fate Thrown away.
Berlin, Oct 31.-Prince Bismarck, ap
parently, is not inundated by threat
to prosecute him, for his organ, the Ham
burger Nachrichten, today replied TO tn
broadside of the official Reichsanzeige
Of Tuesday last, which intimated that tn
fate which overlook Count Won Amin
might await those who disclosed secrets
Of state.
The Hamburger Nachrichten toda,
says:
The negotiations of those days (o
Bismarck's tenure of office are not stric
state secrets, but belong to history
There is no necessity for secrecy so fal
as Germany and the dreibunde1s con.
cerned, as the treaty was made lely ir
compliance with Russia's wish Id Ger
many has nothing to be ashamed Of
On the contrary, all peace-loying Ger
mans have just satisfaction. 1t is to-
tally untrue that the treaty implied dis
loyalty to the driebund. The latter even
allowed Austria to be neutral in the
event Of a French attack on Germany
or an unprovoked attack on Russia.
The whole driebund could cooperate
in 1t if Russia was willing. and conclude
the same agreement without abandoning
its main purpose. This would tranquil
ize all the friends Of peace and if there
is any inclination upon the part Of Rus
sia it would be egpedient to renew the
Russo-Germany treaty.
The Hamburger Nachrichten then
takes the Richsanzeiger TO task for say
ing of its announcement of the existence
Of the Russo-German treaty that lit viii
neither correct what is false nor supply
what is incomplete saying; THE state
ment made is not false, as declared by
the ReichsanZeiger, and the latter can
only supplement- what is declares to be in
complete by publishing the whole treaty.
Under these circumstances the Hambur-
ger Nicnrichten considers itself entitled
to demand a published rectification, as
required by the press law, Of the Reich
sanzeiger's assertion.
HERE CALLED AN INDIsCRETION

Don't Know Bis mareis Very Well.

The correspondent Of the Associated
Press learn upon excellent authority that

tween Germany and the allied powers,
as well as Russia and Great Britain, un-
less the government directly interiors to
prevent it. The betrayal of the Russo
German treaty has Grated intense excite
ment in political circles, especially among
the members of the Reichstag and
plea that unless the government explains |
explanations Of the inside facts are given |
the government Will be questioned in the |
reichstag shortly by the Centre, backed |
by the Socialists and Liberals, on the
peal that unless the government explains
the matter the faith Of her allies in her
sincerity viii be seriously shaken.
Emperor William is known to be ex-
tremely indignant at the attack in the
Hamburger Nachrichten, and in an in
terview with German statesman, pub
'ished in the Vienna Neue Freie Presse,
dated Hamburg, shows that the govern
ment has seriously meditated taking Grim
inal proceedings against the author Of
the article under the so-called Arnim
paraghapr Of the criminal code but it is
stated that an inquiry showed thai
Count Herbert Bismarck was the respon
sible party, and not his father, who re-
piled, to the official inquiries, that he
personally. had no hand in the matter.
