WILLIAM STILL HOSTILE
PRINCE BISMARCK INSISTS ON THE
RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
Dazzling Debate in the Refchstas
Has Upset the EQunnimity OF
His Royal Highnesr.

Berlin, Nov M.--Public attention dur
ing the week has been almost entirely
absorbed by the reichstag debates and
the politicians are convinced that the
statements of Prince Hohenlohe. the
chancellor, and the minister of foreign
affairs, Baron Won Bieberstein, on the
subject OF the foreign policy of Germany,
have had an excellent effect, and have
removed the suspicious of her allies.
Count Herbert Bismarcks denial in the
roichstag that he has given an Interview
to newspaper men during the past five
years is hardly credited In political cir
Giles, and there Is excellent authority for
saying he did give an interview contain
Ing some of the recent revelations In
Schoenhausen. He went to Friedrichs-
ruhe Immediately after Mondays session
Of the reichstag. and made full report
to his father on the attitude of the en-
peror and government regarding the rev.
Citations. and 1t is stated plan was
agreed upon to continue the newspaper
disclosures.
nachrichten has published a statement
that Italy entered into secret agree
mcnt with Russia in 1891, similar to the
Russo-German alliance.
Emperor William is said to be furious
at the revelations, but he sees no way OF
stopping them. His aide de camp, Count
Won Moltke, went to FREDERICKSBURG on
Tuesday with Instructions to beg Prince
Bismarck to cease his campaign, on the
ground that 1t was calculated to seriously
in1ure Germany politically. but Prince
Bismarck replied that he must retain
the right OF free speech and Of ventilat-
ing his opinions.
The DueIiIg Debate.
One of his maJestys adjutants attended
the dueling debate in the reichstag, took
copious notes and reported to the en-
pcror personally. The latter took partic-
ular notice Of Herr Lentzman's menacing
speech. The radical and liberal newspa-
pcrs are outspoken In their comments On
the conflicting declarations of Prince Ho-
henlohe and the minister for war, Cen
eral Won Gossler. the former declaring
dueling must be suppressed and that all
classes of the population must conform
with the law, while the latter maintained
the reverse. General Won Gossler is I'M
derstood to have expressed the views
Of the emperor.
Some of the liberal newspapers, the
Vossische Zeitung for instance, predict a
parliamentary conflict with the govern
mont this session, and states II the gov
eminent insists upon increase In the ma
val budget az projected, the dissolution
Of tho reichstas Ii inevitable The rad
zeal and center parties are already dis
cussing the probability OF this course,
and are preparing to make a hard cleo
ton fight.
The Frankfort zeitung threatens to
formally prefer charges OF high treason
against the Hamburger Nachrichten
with the states attorney OF Hamburg
This Is intended to checkmate the gov
rrnment's proceedings to force the Eel
tung to divulge the name OF its inform
ant Of unauthorized parliamentary news
recently published. A fact much re-
marked is that on the evening of the
opening OF the Prussian diet the emperor
went hunting. leaving Prince Hohenlohe
to read the speech from the throne. con-
trary to his majesty's custom. The ex-
PLANTATION Is that the emperor is so upset
at the Bismarck revelations, that he is
In no frame OF mind for a throne speech.
Alleged Treason In Poland.
Tne government has decided to take
severe administrative measures in order
to counterfeit the steadily increasing
