WILLIAM STILL HOSTILE
PRINCE BISMARCK INSISTS ON THE
RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
DueIinE Debate In the Reichstag
Has Upset the Equanimity or
His Royal Highness.

Berlin, Nov. N.-Public attention dul
ing the week has been almost entlrel
absorbed by the reichstag debates an
the politicians are convinced that IL
statements of Prince Hohenlohe, IN
chancellor, and the minister OF forelg
affairs, Baron Won Bieberstein, on IN
subject Of the foreign polcy OF Germany
have had an excellent effect, and nav
removed the suspicious of her allies.
Count Herbert Bismarck's denial in n
rcichstag that he has given an interview
to newspaper men during the past IN
years is hardly credited in political cir
c.es, and there is excellent authority 20
saying he did give an interview contain
ing some of the recent revelations Il
Schoenhausen. He went 10 Friedrichs
ruhe Immediately after Mondays session
Of the reichstag and made a full repor
to his father on the attitude Of the en
peror and government regarding the rev
citations, and it is stated a plan va
agreed upon to continue the newspapc
disclosures.
AS a first result the Leipsic Neuste
nachrichten has published a statemen
that Italy entered into a secret agree
mcnt with Russia in 1891, similar to th'
Russo-German alliance.
Emperor William is said to be furiou!
q! the revelations, but he sees no way O.
stopping them. His aide de camp, Coun
Won Moltke, went to Freidrichsruhe Or
Tuesday with instructions to beg Prince
Bismarck to cease his campaign, on the
ground that it was calculated to seriously
impure Germany politically, but Primes
Bismarck replied that he must retair
the right of free speech and of ventilar
ing his opinions.
The Dueling Debate.
One Of his majesty's adjutants attended
the dueling debate in the reichstag, tool
copious notes and reported to the EN-
pcror personally. The latter took partic
ular notice of Herr Lentzmans menacine
speech. The radical and liberal newspa
pors are outspoken in their comments Or
the conflicting declarations of Prince Ho
henlohe and the minister for war, Gen
eral Won Gossler the former declaring
duehng must be suppressed and that al
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 q
parliamentary conflict with the govern
ment this session, and states if the gov.
eminent insists upon increase in the ma.
val budget, as projected, the dissolution
of the reichstag is 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

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
