Officials of the Refchstag Urged TO
Act Promptly.


BERLIN. Dec. 6-When Emperor

jesty spoke of momentous labors to be
accomplished by the reichstag, and

only brother, Prince Henry of Prussia,
had bid farewell to the Grand Duke of
Baden, and his mother, the eX-empress
Frederick, in order to devote his ener-
gies to the service of the Fatherland

complete protection to the German mis-
siCns in foreign countries. alluded to
the recent events in Hayti, and to
various political and economic ques-
tons, adding that he trusted the reich

necessity for the naval increase de-
handed.
Replying to the suggestion that ap-
prehensionS were entertained in parlia-
mentary circles about prejudicing the
act Of the new parliament by fixing the
naval expenditures for a number of
years, Emperor William said future
reichstags would in no case disavow
the present one, if the latter was con-
WINGED that the proposed increase must
be completed in seven years.
Finally, his majesty spoke of the gen.
eral position of the affairs of the world.
which, he said, admitted Of no delay
in the matter. At the conclusion of
the audience, which lasted half an
hour. the president and vice presidents

ABOUT THE THREE BIG LINES

SQUEEZE THE CENTRAL P'
CIFIC ROAD.
WESTERN ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS.
Passenger Agents Meet in Chicago
Today to Finish Their Work
of Last Vice.

Inquiry among a number of st. Paul
railroad officials fails to bring out any
information which can in any way be
considered as giving the slightest
foundation for the story wired from
Washington Saturday and published in
a morning paper to the effect that the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
reorganized Union Pacific interests
were being in some way consolidated
with view to crowding c. P. Hunting
ton, of the Central Pacific, to the wall.
III brief, the tale is that Senator Gear,
of Iowa, chairman of the United States
senate committee on Pacific railroads,
will soon present a measure which IS
intended to pave the way for a settle
ment Of the government claims
against the Central Pacific. The wise
acres prophesy that any such plan will
fail, and that the only way for the
claims of the government to be settled
will be by the payment in full of the
amount entailed. This amount with in
terest, ETC., is said to approximate $751;
100000, and if pressure were brought
to force Mr.. Huntington to take it up,
he would, it is explained, be ''pocketed"
and the reader is told that he would
be punished for alleged "smartness" by
the three big transcontnental systems
named above.
The story is considered gauZy, by
several st. Paul railroad men who keep
in touch with matters of Importance

interests have been attracted and it
has happened that three or four gen.

unusual has given rise to the talk of
some understanding between the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and

pressed it. These gentlemen have
found they could buy railroad stocks to
advantage and they have done it in not
only one road, but in two or possibly
three. They vote their stock and use
their influence as stockholders, but such
thing as massing their influence
against any other system as stated is
nonsensical, and not to be seriously
considered

HOW BEES FIGHT A BATTLE.
Attack on Strange Hive Results
In IL Terrific Contest

In battle the movements of bees are so
rapid that it is difficult to follow them
through all their evOlutions, but the plan of
battle seems to be very simple, says the
London Mail. Two bees from the hive are
sent to kill one intruder, and the latter al
ways tries TO force an entrance, even at the
risk of its life. Once inside. it makes room
for others of its companions to enter. and
then gathering up it's abdomen in as small
a space as possible, it assumes the defensive.
Two of the hive bees pounce upon it, and,
Selling it fercely they seek to find vulner-
able point between the rings of its body to
sting it TO death. The attacking bee just as
determinedy struggles to cover every unpro-
tected spot If sufficient time be gained
and the attacking swarm is large enough to
force an entrance, the badly mauled bees
that have not been stung to death will sud
denly assume the offensive and pursue the
tactics of their enemies.
Should the battle go against the attacking
body, the balance of the swarm flies away
to seek safety. and the dead carcasses of
their companions are thrown contemptuous-
ly out of the hive. But in the event of an OPP
posite termination of the struggle the poor
inhabitants are slaughtered. When their
fate has been practically decided many of
them turn traitors to their cause, and in or
der to save their own lives they join the
forces Of the attacking party and display
great vigor in killing their former compan-
IONS But there is honest patriotism even
among bees. In every hive there are some
who fight to the last and proong the strug-

CHICAGO. Dec. 6.-The general passenger
agents of the Western roads will meet in
this city tomorrow to consider the Chicago

important matters. Among these will be the
prejudicial application of short line rates
from Kansas City to Indianapolis and Gin
cinnati. via Chicago, reduction in rates be-
tween points in the territory of the Western
Passenger association, Alaska business and
the management of the local associations

was the intention of the general officers of
the Western roads to hold this meeting, but
at the last minute they decided that they
would throw the work on their subordinates
and the general passenger agents will now
be compelled to finish up their work of last
week.

way company have arranged for through tour

Importance Of this would endanger the
interests of the empire generally"
In conclusion, Admiral Tirpitz de-
clared that the present system of vot-
ing naval supplies must be changed,
and he appealed to the reichstag to
favorably consider the governments
measure. The admiraPs remarks were
greeted with cheers from several fac
ti0ns.
Herr ~Schoenlank, Social-Democrat,
opposed the bill. He thought it curious
that the flaws in the navy had only
now been discovered. Attempts were
being made, he claimed, to brighten the
people with phantoms and excite them
to craving for glory. How, the speak
er asked, could this be reconciled with
the pacific declarations of the emperor
Referring to the occupation of Kiao-
Chau bay by the German squadron in
Chinese waters, Herr Schoenlank said
that II Germany established herself in
China she would become involved in
endless complications with Great Brit
ain and Japan. Germany, he claimed,
would never be a naval power. The
bill, he said, was the outcome of per-
sonal rule.
Count Limburg-Stirum, the Conser-
vative leader, disputed Herr Schoen-
lank's contention. 1--WE have no guar
antee of peace" he said, land must
arm ourselves for the eventuality of
war. Why should a German charge
daffaires be obliged to submit to be
treated with shameless arrogance by
the blacks of Hayti? How was it that
the American minister carried his
point? Because he had only to tele-
graph in order to at once obtain eff
Gent support"
Count Posadowsky, minister for the
Interior was the next speaker. He
said the federal government had no
idea Of arresting social legislation.
Herr Schoenlank," he continued, ''had
spoken Of absolutist tendencies in a
certain quarter; but, If Herr Schoen-
lanks views ever find favor with a
majority of the reichstag, there will be
no need of absolutism to destroy par
liamentarism." Cheers and counter
cheers.)
BILL UNDER FIRE.
The minister for foreign affairs,
Baron Won Bulow, said: Herr Schoen-
lank's fears that we shall plunge into
adventures are not we'll founded The
chancellor and his colleagues are not
men to seek useless quarrels. We do
not poke our fingers into every pie, but
nevertheless Germany must not re-
nounce her claim to have a share of
the countries having a rich future In
times past, when Germany resigned the
land to one neighbor and the sea to
another, she kept for herself only the
heavens, where pure doctrine dwells
