Army Officers Observation-Disclosures

!
Ordered by Reichstag.
BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE interpella-
ton which is to be introduced by the
Radicals in the Reichstag on the muir
der of Herr Seiberman by Lieut. Won
Brusewith at Carlsrhue, and other mil
itary outrages and scandals, has been
set down upon the order of the day
for Monday, and will be submitted aft
er the Interpolation of the centrist
upon the revelations made by Prince
Bismarck through the medium of the
Hamburger Nachrichten, and it is
probable the whole of the week will be
occupied by fierce debates on both mo-
tions.
The Centrist motion is so phrased as
TO endeavor to induce the Government
TO disclose the nature of the treaty ex-
listing between Germany and Russia
prior to 1890. and to explain why it
was permitted to lapse. AS Prince Won
Hohenlohe, the Imperial Chancellor.
left Berlin on Monday last to be gone
several days, it was understood that
he had arranged with Freiherr Mar
schall Won Bieberstein, Minister of For
eign Affairs, to answer the interpret
latiOn in relation to the Russo-German
treaty, but today it is stated that the
Chancellor himself will read the Gov
eminent declaration. Prince Won Ho-
henlohe has been hunting with the
Emperor and the Grand Duke Vladi-
vimir of Russia, at LetZdingen, and Il
was reported that he was going from
there to Strasburg. However, whether
Prince Won Hohenlohe or Baron Won
pinhnpctn i pnnlinc fn hn ,tv.fC
ton, nobody expects that an explicit
statement will be made in regard to the
Russo-German treaty, or any other
treaties of which others than the Rus
so-German neutrality convention of
1884 are known to have existed.
1t is expected that the reply of the
Government will be substantially a de-
nunciation of the manner of the pub
LEGATION of the disclosures, neither af-
firming nor denying Prince Bismarcks
revelations. accompanied by a protest
against the newspaper discussions of
the old eX-Chancellor's indiscretions,
which the whole country ought to re-
greet.
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 interpella-
ton.
The mystery connected with Lieut..
Won Brusewitz's sentence of four years
confinement il a fortress and dismis-
sal from the army, the subsequent de-
NAL that he had been condemned, the
report that his Colonel set him at lib
erty, and only caused his re-arrest up
on orders of his (the Colonel's) SUI
periors, and the other stories of abuse
of soldiers by officers require explana-
ton, 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 i'm
so low tone that his remarks were
only audible to those Immediately sur
rounding him.
The VOerwaerts, 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
my uniform insults me-"
Whatever may be the issue of the
debate, however, it will clear the at
mosphere around the subject and give
an impetus to the military judicial re-
forms.
