Prussian Diet Rejects Amendments to
the Association Bill.
IN WAS A VICTORY FOR TEE LIBERALS
Question of Police Interference at
Public Meetings.
CHEER AND HISS RESULT

BERLIN, May 2S.-In anticipation Of the
second reading of the bill amending the
law of association, the lower house of the
Prussian diet was crowded today. After a
brief discussion, the motion of Count Linn
berg g-Stirrum, conservative, to insert a
clause allowing the police to prohibit meet
ings which might be expected to endanger
the security of the state or public order,
was rejected.
The lower house Of the diet, after heat
ed debate, then rejected clause of the bill
amending the law of association, providing
for the dissolution of meetings threaten
ing the safety of the state and public or
der. A conservative motion altering the
wording of the clause was rejected.
A free conservative motion making the
clause applicable only to social democrats
and anarchists was also rejected. the vote
being 2O6 to 103. Announcement Of this re-
suit was greeted with prolonged cheers
from the left, and Kissing from the right.
In the course Of the debate the Prussian
minister of the interior, Baron Won Der
Recke Won Der Horst, strongly supported
the bill. With reference to the free con-
servative motion he stated, before vote.
that the government had not decided what
attitude it would assume toward that mo-
ton.

THE PROPOSED INVESTIGATION.
1t is Not Believed That the Senate VIII
Enter Upon One.

II
Enter Upon One.
1t is not believed that the Senate will
again enter into an investigation of the
question of sugar speculations by senators.
The absolute failure of the investigation
when the Wilson bill scandal excited public
attention, and the very bad impression
which has been made by the failure to
convict Mr.. Havemeyei discourages
further efforts in that direction. Senator
Tillman's charges are not specific enough,
though his denunciation was severe. 10
make any senator feel that his personal
honor requires him to demand an investi-
cation.
1t is well understood that in such a mat
ter the information of newspaper CORE
spondents must be merely hearsay and
that the investigation would neither con
meet any senator nor relieve any from pub
lie suspicion. 1t would result only in the
punishment of a few witnesses for con
tempt of the Senate.
Some of the most sensible men In the
Senate held to the opinion that the best
way to deal with this matter Is to SO trea1
the sugar schedule in the tariff bill as tc
relieve the Senate of the criticism OF favor
ing the sugar trust.
There is nothing decided as to whether
another investigation will be held. Senator
Aldrich's statement that he and other mem.
bers of the subcommittee courted the full.
est investigation indicates that such an In.
yestigation might be ordered, but 1t Is like.
ly that the members of the committee or
contingent expenses will consult the wishes
of the Senate on the subject. If there Ii
any considerable desire on the part of sena
tors for an inquiry. 1t may be ordered.
Senators Jones of Nevada, Gallinger and
Jones of Arkansas are the subcommittee tc
whom the Tillman resolution has been re-
ferred,

Hard Pressed if Italy Imi-

United States Will Not Interfere
If the Italian Claim Is a
Just One.
Believed the Partition of China
Among the Powers Has Ac-
| tually Begun.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-If Italy follows
the course pursued by Germany in col.
lecting an indemnity for the murder of
an Italian subject and the illegal seizure
of an Italian vessel, the belief prevails
in Washington that President Sam will
be forced by his people to declare war.
says a Washington dispatch to The
Herald.
1t is expected by the authorities that
in case Italy should determine to push
her claims against Hayti, the Haytian
government will ask this government
to use its good Offices for the settlement
Of the incident. Until fully acquainted
with the facts the president will prob
ably outline no policy, but should it be
shown that that the Italian claims are
just the administration will not inter-
fere unless Italy should attempt to
make a permanent landing on Haytian
soil. This latter eventuality is not con-
sidered a possibility by the authorities
and should the Italian claims be just
the administration will probably have
nothing to say.
The United States cruiser Marble
head will remain at Port Au Prince
until Hayti's troubles are over.
