AN OUTRAGEOUS CASE
WANTON KILLING OF A WORKMAN
VENTILATED IN THE REICHsTAG.
Vigorous Speech by Herr Lengmann,
and N Lame, Defiant Reply by
the Minister Of War.

BERLIN. Nov. 19.-In the Reichstag to-
day the debate on dueling in the army and
the Brusewitz incident was resumed. Herr
Kicker, Liberal. urged the necessity of
prompt reform in the civil law. Baron Won
Hodenberg expressed the opinion that the
authoritative declaration of the Emperor
had effectually set the matter at rest. Herr
Lengmann asked how long the German
Michael was to wait, now that he had
began to assert his most sacred rights"
Continuing. Herr Lengmann said: After
General Won Gossler's speech, little is to
be expected from the proposed reform in
court-martial procedure. No one has the
right to call the officers class the first of
the social scale, and / regret that the re-
serve officers have lost their former pride
In the burgher class 10 which they belong.
Herr Lengmann concluded with warning
against too frequent allusion TO self-de-
Tense. since there is no such thing as self
defense for the people" a sentiment which
was warmly applanded by the Leftists;
The Minister of War. General Won Goss-
Ter, then said that he had accepted the bill
of his predecessor General Bronsart Won
Shellendorf, TO reform the military courts.
Continuing the War Minister said: THE
utteranceS of the press in the BruSewitZ
affair has compelled me to send to the
proper quarters "a whole series of CON-
plants against civilians for insulting the
strain ii Will have to reckon with the silent
but ever-grOwing exasperations of the
army" In conclusion. General Won Goss-
Ter remarked that the military code ex-
pressly forbade military men from arroI
eating the superiority of other classes.
The Minister of Justice. DR.. Schoenstedt.
said that il was most difficult to draft new
statutes against duelng. adding that the
sentiment underlying the practice of duel
ing was stronger than kings or laws. Re-
ligion alone. he continued. could overthrow
dueling.
Count Won Mrbach. the Agrarian leader,
declared there were cases where it was inn
possible to follow religion. and he was con-
WINGED that Lieutenant Brusewitz had met
with the judgment he deserved. The SUBJ
ject was then dropped

An Impressive Speech.

LONDON. Nov. 2b--A Berlin dispatch to
the Daily Mail says: 1.-The proceedings in
the Reichstag were more dramatic than
yesterday. Herr Lengmann, in an impress
sive speech, quoted documents to prove
that Brusewitz's victim, Siebmann. was an
honorable and peacable man unlikely to
give provocation. In passionate tones he de-
clared that after Tuesdays villfication Of
Sebmann's character he owed it to the
dead mans memory to vindicate his honor
in open Parliament. Round after round
of applause echoed through the house. in
fecting the strangers gallery with the en-
thusiasm. Upon somebody behind the gov
ernment benches exclaiming Revolution
while Herr Lengmann was supporting the
popular right of sef-defense. Herr Eeng-
mann said: 1T is matter OF taste whether
YOU call it revolution self-defense.'
Cheers and counter cheers at this point
made his following remarks inaudible
General Won Gossler (the new Minister
OF War; was again painful spectacle
as i'm low and apologetic tones he tried to
rebut Herr Lengmann's attacks amid
bursts of ironical laughter"

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 19.-The steamer
Olympia, which arrived from Hong Kong,
brought news that passengers from Bom-
bay to Europe will probably have to under
go quarantine on arrival at European ports

where there is no drainage. The health
officers find difficulty i'm getting laborers
for cleaning and disinfecting owing to their
fear of contagion. At Calcutta vigorous
precautionary measures are being taken.
Two hospitals are to be constructed at an
isolated spot, and plans have been formed
for an ambulance corps. The plague had
just broken out at Ahmedabad, where the
gravest fears are felt. the town being
densely populated and the water supply
deficient. a few showers of rain would
probably stamp out the disease. 1t is esti-
mated that sixty thousand people have left
Bombay since the outbreak.
