BERLIN, Nov 14.-The Interpolation
which is to be introduced by the Rad
icals in the reiehstag on the murder of
Herr Zeiberman, by Lieutenant Won
Brusewitz at Carlsruhe and other mil
Itary outrages and scandals. has been
set down upon the order of the day
for Monday, and will be submitted af-
ter the Interpolation of the Centrists
upon the revelations made by Prince
Bismarck through the medium OF the
Hamburger Nachrichten, and it is
probable that the whole of the week
Will be occupied by fierce debates upon
both motions. The Centrist motion is
so phrased as to endeavOr to induce the
government TO disclose the nature of
the treaty existing between Germany
and Russia, prior to 1890, and TO ex-
plain why il was permitted 10 lapse.
AS Prince HohenlOhe, the chancellor
left Berlin on Monday last to be gone
several days, ii was understood that
he had arranged With Ereiherr Marshal
Won Bieberstein, minister OF foreign
affairs, to answer the interpolation IN
relation to the Russo German treaty.
but today it is stated that Prince Ho-
henlone himself VIII read the declara-
ton. Prince Hohenlohe has been hunt
ing with the emperor and the Grand
Duke Vladimir of Russia at Letsdin-
gem, and it was reported that he was
going from there to Strasburg How
ever, whether Prince Hohenlohe or
Baron Won Bieberstein replies to the
Centrist motion, nobody expects that
an explicit statement will be made in
regard to the Russo German treaty. or
any other treaties of which other than
the Russo-German neutrality conven-
ton of 1854 are known to have existed.
1t is expected that the reply of the
government will be substantially a
denunciation of the manner of publica-
ton of the disclosures, neither affirm
ing nor denying Prince Bismarck's
revelations. accompanied by a protest
against the newspaper discussions of
the old chancellor's indiscretions, which
the whole country ought to regret.
Although the debate on the Centrist
motion in regard to the treaty will be
OF great Importance, perhaps still
greater interest attaches to the debate
on the military reform measures, which
will arise from the Radical interpola-
ton.
The mystery connected with Lieu
tenant Won Brusewitz's sentence of
four years confinement in fortress
and dismissal from the army, the sub
sequent denial that he had been con-
demned, the report that his colonel set
arrest upon the orders of his (the colo
nePs) suDeriors, and the other stories
of abuse of soldiers by officers, require
explanation, and the Radicals mean
to have it if possible.
In an article on the subject the
Tageblatt says that the emperor. after
speaking to the recruits on the occa-
sion of their being sworn in on Thurs
day, addressed the officers seriously in
regard to the alleged military outrages
upon civilians. but purposely spoke in
so low tone that his remarks We're
only audible to those immediately sur
rounding him. The organ of the So
cialists draws the worst augury of the
governments defense from the report
that the emperor. in his address to the
recruits, said: Whoever attacks nv
uniform, insults me-
Whatever may be the issue of the
debate, however. il will clear the NJ
mosphere around the subject and give
an impetus to the military judicial re-
forms
