Much Talk About the Army Officer Who
Killed u Civilian.

Berlin, Nov 1.-THE chancellor,
Prince Hohenlohe, replying to the inter
pcllation of Herr August Munckel, of the
Peoples party, on the Brusewitz incident
of October Ii last, when IL lieutenant ran
Il sword through Il workman named
Siebemann, who had accidentally pushed
against the officers chair while entering
Il cafe, stated that the military depart
ment was preparing new regulations
with the object of limiting duelling as
much rs possible.
The chief change in the regulations, as
proposed, was that if an officer insulted
another the matter should be left to the
decision of court of honor, but the
judgment of the court should never be
worded in such Il way as to make duel
necessity, or even to imply the recogni-
ton of such means of settling dispute
Gen. Won Gossler, tue minister Of war,
then addressed the house. dealing directly
with the Brusewitz affair. Lieutenant
BrusewitZ, it was alleged, killed the
civilian because he believed that the
honor of his uniform had been furnished
by the accidental pushing against his
chair by the unfortunate workman. The
officer was courtmartialed and sentenced
to four years. imprisonment and dismis-
sal from the army.
General GosSler, amid constant inter
ruptions, then went on to announce that
the judgment of the courtmartial had
been pronounced, but had not yet been
sanctioned. Continuing, the minister of
war said that the documents bearing on
the affair were to he submitted by i'm
perial command to the ministry of war,
and SO soon rs this was done the sentence
would be published, together with the
reasons which prompted it.
Gen. Gossler then alluded to Herr
Munckel's :" lire-brand Speech which
caused II great uproar in the house. The
minister then cited cases of officers who
had been grossly insulted by unknown
persons and he declared that officers who
have not proper feeling of military
honor and Il becoming sense of the Iii e
nifty of their position deserve to be got
ten rid Of, for on those sentiments de-
pend the martial efficiency of the army
The general further said
The honor attaching to wearing the
kings uniform and respect for the colors
are military sentiments that we shall
never abandon. The right of self defence
must never be taken from officers
loud protests.)
Herr Bebel, socialist leader, said:
How can it be said that whoever at
tacks the kings uniform thereby insults
the king? In 1899 the king threatened
with pain of death any military man who
flonted Il civilian. Things will at last
come to ssch pass that /; uniform of the
