the upper classes or to make parade of
moral Indignation. He was the same
Bebel who, after the events of 1871, eulo-
gized the Paris commune and now COM
mends the commune as an example to
follow.
The remark created an uproar, the
Socialist members rising to their feet ana
shouting loudly for the President to ring
his bell and call the speaker to order, but
Baron Won BuelBerenberg, the President,
remained unmoved and the uproar sub
sided.
DR.. Won Bcnnigsen, resuming, said that
dueling, which had been the best source
of agitation for the Socialists, had been
nursed by a scandal mongering press.
The speaker was again interrupted by a
Socialist uproar, led by Herr Singer.
DR.. Won Bennigsen, when he was again
able to be heard, maintained the truth of
his declaration and said that he had
spoken of the press in general, not except
ing the great journals.
Herr Richter (Radical) described DIR. Won
Bennigsen's remarks as an example of
diplomatic prolixity. The Government,
he said. had cut a bad figure in the debate,
and had created the impression that it had
Christianity more upon its tongue than in
its heart.
Her Won der Groeben-Arenstein (Con-
servative) said that the sword-fgnts in
duIged in by the students were merely
drill for their duels in later life.
Baron Won Manteuffel indorsed the prin-
ciple of DR.. Bachem's speech of yesterday,
and protested against that expressed by
Herr Bebel. He announced that Liebe-
recht Won Kotze had not fled the country,
as had been alleged. He had surrend cred
himself to a Judge who gave him an ad
interim leave of absence. He was ready
to stand trial at any moment.
Baron Won ManteuffeI spoke against
mixing up the du ling nuisance with mill
tarism. Duels between officers in military
service were rare exceptions. He con-
cluded by demanding that severe punish
ment be inflicted upon the libelers of
honorable military officers.
Herr Bebel retorted that if the Conser-
vatives desired seriously to condemn the
duel they must secure the repeal of the
Cabinet decree making the duel oblica-
tory in the army. While the highest per-
son in the empire favors the duel, he said,
all the endeavors of the Chamber to sup
press it would be futile
The President censured Herr Bebel for
criticizing an imperial decree by character
izing it as unworthy of cultured state
Herr Schall, Conservative, declared that
Herr Bebel was caIumniator.
The Reichstag by unanimous vote
adopted resolution condemning dueling,
the special motions made on behalf of the
Freisinnige and Centrist parties being
withdrawn.

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, April 2.-
A dispatch from Buluwayo dated yester-
day says: Commander Nicholson made
an attempt to-day TO bring on a general
action with the Matabeles and with that

during which thirty Matabeles were killed.

LONDON, ENG, April 21.-In the House
of Commons to-day Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, was questioned by Sir Willis
Ashmead Bartlett in regard to the i'm
portation of munitions of war and men by
the Transvaal Government. Mr.. Cham
berlain said that doubt tless munitions of
war were being imported into the Trans
vaal, but Great Britain was not entitled to
interfere unless there should be evidence
showing that the material was not in
tended to be used purely for purposes of
defense. The Government OF the Trans
vaal, he said, assured him that it had not
imported any mercenary soldiers, but he
thought there was no doubt that many
immigrants to the Transvaal had re-
ceived military training and were under
prescription from other countries.

c0MMEM0RA7i0N or SHAKESPEARE
President Cleveland Sends q Letter in
Which He Says Some Very
Nice Things.

BIRMINGHAM, ENG, April 21.-The
thirty-second annual Shakespeare COM
memoration of the Birmingham Dramatic
and Literary Club was held tonight in the
Grosvenor room of the Grand Hotel.
About 300 guests were present, among
them being Emoassador Bayard and Mrs.
Bayard. Mr.. George w. Parker, the Amer
lean Consul and president of the club, oc-
cupied the chair. A letter was read by
Mr.. Parker from President Cleveland ac-
knowledging an invitation to attend the
celebration. Mr.. Cleveland said:
Everything that tends to keep alive
the memory of Shakespeare and preserve
proper appreciation of his work chaI-
lenges my earnest interest and approval,
and though l cannot be with you on the
occasion you contemplate l am glad to
know that our American people will be
prominently represented. There is much
said and written in these days concerning
the relations that should exist, bound
close by the strongest ties, between the
English-speaking peoples, and concerning
the high destiny that awaits them in con-
certed efforts.
81 hope we shall never know the time
when these ennobling sentiments will be
less often expressed or in the least lose
their potency and influence. Surely, if
English speech supplies the token of
united effort for the good of mankind and
the impulse of an exalted International
mission, we do well to honor fittingiy the
name and memory of William Shakes
peare."
At the banquet given by the club Mr..
Parker spoke to the toast, 1.-THE Immortal
Memory of William Shakespeare" Mr..
Bayard delivered speech, in the course
of which he dwelt upon literature as one
of the chief buttresses OF liberty and civili-
zation.

Gear and His Friends Resent the
Early Submission of the
Minority Report.
MORGAN TOO ILL TO ATTEND
Senator White Says the Criticism
Made by Bierce Is Rather
Unjust.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-Sena-
tor Morgan to-day, through Mr.. Pugh, his
colleague, submitted his minority report
on the Pacific railroads, as printed in THE
CALL this morning. Morgan has taken
short trip on account of his health, which
is very precarious and alarming to his
friends. 1t is believed that Morgan's S
trouble must sooner or later result in
death. and it is not probable that he will
be able to participate in the deliberations
of tne Senate at this session, if at all here
after.
1t is understood that the reports of Gear
and Powers, chairmen respectively of the
Senate and House Pacific Roads commit
tees, will be submitted in day or two, or
after they have received certain data from
the Treasury Department.
Senator Gear and his friends resent the
submission of Senator Morgan's minority
report in advance of the views of the ma
jority of the Senate Pacific Roads Com
mittee, for this morning when Mr.. Pugh of
Alabama asked tnat his colleague s minor
ity report be printed in the Record obiec-
ton was made, so it will be printed only
in the shape of public docum enu.
Senator White said to THE CALL CORE
spondent tonight that there was very lit
tie chance for the Pacific roads funding
bill to pass the Senate at this session.
"The session is very near its close" said
he, and he added significantly: This is a
subject that demands thorough discussion
and I apprehend that several Senators will
desire to speak at considerable LENGTH
THE CALL correspondent understood
this to mean that an attempt would be
made to talk the bill to sleep. The Sena-
tors are very anxious to adjourn, and as
hot weather and the Presidential cam
paign approach, their eagerness to get
away will increase, so that, if mum ber of
Senators show disposition to talk against
time when the funding bill comes up for
consideration, it is probable that the mat
ter will be allowed to go over until next
session. Among those Senators who are
strongly opposed to the funding bill and
who are willing to talk on the subject at
length is Senator Cannon of Utah. This is
surprise, for it has been supposed that
both Utah Senators, as well as those from
New Mexico, were "railroaders."
1t is almost a foregone conclusion that
the funding bill will not pass at this ses-
sion, and from the present outlook it is
extremely doubtful whether the bill will
pass at all.

presenting Senator Morgan's minority re-
port, as requested by the latter. Ambrose
Bierce in his telegram charged that,
although Senator Morgan some time ago
requested that White read his views to the
Senate (as a specify. and later requested
him to present it as minority report,
Senator White for some reason neglected
to do SO. Mr.. Berce alleges that White
was requested yesterday to present the
matter as minority report, but that the
Senator, instead of doing so personally,
turned it over to Senator Pugh.
Senator White said to THE CALL CORE
spondent to-day:
Some time ago 1 was sent copy of
Senator Morgan's views and was repeat
edlv urged to present them to the Senate,
but rs Mr.. Morgan was unable to be there
in person [ doubted the wisdom OF this,
however, and l stated my reason to Sena-
tor Morgan at his home when l called on
him, viz: that although 1 was heartily in
accord with his views | did not deem it
wise to present the speech (or reporD at
the time, but rather to withhold it until
the matter came up for consideration in
the Senate and we would need speeches,
and lots of such good ones, to defeat the
funding bill. thought it best 10 reserve
our ammunition and fire it at the enemy
when it was most needed. Yesterday
morning 1 received another request from
Mr.. Morgan that present his views as a
minority report. l learned that Chairman
Gears majority report had not yet been
submitted. and did not like the idea of
violating the custom of the Senate by pre-
senting minority refort in advance of the
majority views, but at the same time re-
Iuctantly agreed to do it. Subsequently
learned that Senator Pugh (Senator Nor
gan's colleague) had submitted the report
and had afterward withdrawn it. 1 did
not hand the matter to Mr.. Pugh, as CORE
spondent Bierce intimates, but it was
brought to Mr.. Pugh by Senator Morgan s
son. Mr.. Bierce has been misinformed. l
should have offered to submit the minor
ity views myself, but Senator Pugh had
already performed that service. 1 feel
that Mr.. Bierce's criticism was unjust. He
was naturally anxious as a newspaper
man to secure the presentation of minor
ity report in the Senate SO that his journal
might score beat, but 1 did not care to
have him dictate to me the method of my

stag to-day. Count Andreas Won Bern
storff independently declared that re-
course to the duel was needless, and that
the practice stood condemned by the Ger

OMAHA, NEBR., April 21.-Labor circles
of the city are again excited over what APP
pears to have been well organized plot
to secure the archives of the Central
Labor Union by force.
Tonight several members representing
the Socialist element in the Central Coun-
Gil, and who have recently been expelled
from the union on charges of boodIing,
made an attack upon Secretary F. A. Ken
nedy in his office, and would have beaten
him severely had not assistance arrived
quickly.
The result of the free-for-all fight was
the utter defeat of the Socialists, and one
man was injured by being thrown down a
fight of stairs by the ianitor of the build

is being made for other combatants who
are supposed to have left the city,

SMALLEY Am ALARMIST.
Says There Is Yet Danger of a Conflict
Between England and This
eoUnfru

LONDON. ENG, April 21.-The Times
will tomorrow publish long dispatch
from G. W. SmalIey, its correspondent in
America, which is devoted to dispelling
the illusions that the Venezuela boundary
dispute has passed dangerous stage; that
the negotiations are prospering and that
the British blue book on the subject Gre
ated a favorable impression in the United
States. Mr.. SmaIley says that not one of
the foregoing beliefs is we'll founded.
No agreement as to principles has been
reached and negotiations are at a stand
still. Nobody seems to know when or how
they will be renewed or the deadlock re-
moved. If the American Commission
draws the Venezuelan boundary adverse
to Great Britain's claim the alternative
stated in President Cleveland's message
will have to be faced. MIR. Sma1ley casts
the onus for this on Lord Salisbury, who
rejected the proposition made by the
Washington Government in February, and
who does not appear to have made coun-
ter proposals. The dispatch dilates upon
the reasons for prompt action, for it says
the uncertainties are many and the perils
grave.
NS, NoAii4hei upoi bAe uis-
patch, will tomorrow say that it cannot
fully share the gloomy anticipations con-
tanned in the dispatch, although the re-
minder is not, perhaps untimely. 1t con-
tends that, elsewhere in his dispatch, Mr..
Smalley shows that Lord Salisbury has
taken other action for opening another
scheme for general arbitration, to which
the paper attaches Importance 1t also
contends that if the general project fails,
Great Britain ought to be able with
prudence to resume the specific case with
