upon current reports of military abuses.
The article published by the Tageblatt
was in reference to the case of Lieut. Won
Brusewitz, whose confinement is believed
to be merely nominal The street venders
of Illustrated papers containing pictures
of Lieut.. Brusewitz's murder of Siebe-
mann have been arrested in Berlin, and
their papers confscated by the police, who
state that they have orders to hinder in

The Berlin Tageblatt's comments upon
the emperors speech to the recruits on
Thursday, in which his majesty is alleged
TO have afterward addressed the officers
surrounding him, but purposely spoke in
low tone, that only those very near
him could hear what he said. were err
roneously conceived. The Tageblatts ar
ticles implied that the kaiser was merely
pretending to frown upon the abuses
which have been committed of late, but
it is now known that his speech was a
sharp protest against the officers sub
jecting soldiers or civilians to rough treat
ment.

VIII avoid, as far as possible, the intro
duction of the name of Prince Bismarck

quently cannot so easily command the
mouse. The Germania also SAYS thar IN
the final speech on the motion the CEN

and a vote of confidence in the govern
ment. For the government Prince Ho-
henlohe will have the support of the mem-
bers of the right but the left and the So

law in accordance with modern ideas.
Herr William Liebknecht the socialist
leader, has written TO the socialist organ.
the NorWaerts, of which he Is the editor
in-chief, saying that it Is a mistake TO
consider the Armenian agitation the
touchstone of liberal politics All the re-
oelllons that may occur In the Turkish

A swindler, pretending to be a courier
of the Vanderbilts Of New York, has been
