LES Majestic IN GERMANY.
Repeal of the Clause Making Ii a
Penal OHcnsc Debated.

Berlin, May Fin the Reichstag today
the discussion of the motion of Herr Auer
socialist, to repeal the clause of the penal
code dealing with lese majestic, was
opened.
Herr Bebel. the socialist leader, declar-
ed that the majority of the prosecutions
on the charge of lese majestic were the
work Of informers and of persons seeking
private vengeance. He reminded the
house of the various expressions used by
Emperor William. notably, his references
in his Brandenberg speech of February
last to pack Of fellows" and the words,
'men without patriotism" alleged 20
have been used by his majesty in a de-
spatch to his brother, Prince Henry of
Prussia. Such utterances, Herr Bebel as
serted, were calculated to undermine the
good name of the German people.
The president of the Reichstag, at this
stage of the debate, called upon Herr Be
bel not to draw the name of the head Of
the state into the discussion, and under no
clrcumStan to use offensive language.
In concluding his speech, Herr Bebel
said that in cases of lese majeste the PER
son insulted should prosecute.
Herren Lieber and Richter agreed that
the reforms required that the permission
of the person insulted should be obtained
before the public prosecutor took action,
and both declared they would not vote for
the repeal of the clause.
Herr Liebnecht, socials., pointed out
how easily under the present conditions,
a man might fall under the suspicion of
lese majeste If a monarch, poet or paint

The president called Herr Liebknecht to
order requesting him to respect the deco
rum of the House.
Continuing, Herr Llebknecht complain
ed that, although latent crisis existed,
the members of the Reichstag were for
hidden to speak of it.
After the Reichstag had rejected Herr
Richter's motion to refer Herr Auer's mo-
tion to committee, the House adjourned.

forts toward his pardon. The resolution
proposes that Mr.. Chapman be brought to

action on the resolution, but It went over
on objections from Mr.. Gallinger of New

ment with view to having Mr.. Chapman
punished unless he purged himself of con-
tempt, without reference to the question
OF pardon. The consideration Of the res-
olution will be In order tomorrow.

AUSTRIA AND THE ALLIANCE.
Baron Banffy Makes n Statement to

Budapest, May 12.-Tn the lower house
of the Hungarian parliament to-day, Ba-
ron Banffy. the premier, replying to IN
terpelations with respect to the recent
visit Of the emperor, Francis Joseph, to
St. Petersburg, said: Austria -Hungary's
position toward her allies is unified The
triple alliance is not one of those short
lived political combinations which can
easily be replaced by other arrangements.
The triple alliance constitutes the un-
changeable basis of Austria's foreign pol
icy. 1t is absolutely peaceful, and, there
fore, allows its members to enter into
friendly arrangements with other powers.
Russia, like Austria-Hungary, has de-
clared that she is not pursuing selfish
ends in the east, but that she has as her
only aims the maintenance Of order se-
curity and the preservation of the status
quo. In the light of these facts, 1 declare
positively that Austria Hungary and Rus
sia have Identical and harmonious aims
in their eastern policies; and the visit of
the emperor to st. Petersburg has doubt
less help to foster and to strengthen the
good relations existing between the two
countries"
