BERLIN, May FIN the reichstag
today, before the discussion of the mo-
ton of Herr Duerr, Socialist, to repeal
the clause of the penal code, dealing
with lese majestic, Herr Singer, So
cialiSt, said that number of officers
of the criminal department were in the
galleries of the house and he expressed
the hope that visitors would abstain
from making remarks which might
bring them into trouble. Baron Won
Buol Berenberg, president of the reich
stag, declared that he would deal Sc
verely with any disturbance
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader,
opened the discussion He declared
that the majority Of the prosecutions
on the charge of Lese Majeste were the
work of infornlers and of persons seek
ing private. vengeance. He reminded
the house of the various expressions
used by Emperor William, notably his
references in his Rrandenberg speech
of February last to .4pack of fellows
and the words "mei, without patriot

majesty in a dispatch to his brother,

ances, Herr Bebel asserted, were cal
culated to undermine the good name
of the German people.
The president of the reichstag at this
stage of the debate called upon Herr
Bebel not to draw the name Of the
head Of the state into the discussion
and under no circumstances to use Of
fensive language. In concluding his
speech Herr Bebel said that in cases of
lese majestic the person insulted
should prosecute. Herren Lieber and
Richter agreed that the reforms re-
quired that the permission of the per-
son insulted should be obtained before
the public prosecutors took action, and
both declared they would not vote for
the repeal of the clause.
Herr Lebknecht, Socialist, pointed
out how easily under the present con-
ditions a man. might fall under the
suspicion of lese pajeste, eff mon
arch, poet or painter

Votes in the Postal Congress Will Be Cast
Against Majority Reports

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE ways
and means committee of the Universal
Postal congress. today practically COM
pleted the preliminary consideration OF
the amendments that have been pro-
posed to the international treaty. In
doing this they have followed the prac-
tice common in many legislative bodies
Of passing over Informally the various
amendments, which it was known
would give rise to any extended dis
cussion, and have acted on. such as the
delegates were generally agreed on.
The amendments which have received
the assent of the committee were none
of them Of vital importance, but treat
ed mainly of details of an unimportant
character, which 1t4was apparent were
essential and proper, and which ex-
perience has demonstrated were nee
essity in the transmission of mail mat
ter. The more important questions re-
naming undisposed of relate 10 the
universal postage stamp the proposed
establishment of the gold standard as
settlement of all balances IN postal
rates, and the proposition Tor the re-
duction in the pay, of mails in transit.
These matters will begin to receive the
attention of the committee tomorrow.
Something of a hitch in the prelimln-
AIRY proceedings of the congress mas
been encountered, owing to discomfort
with the organiza ton of the COM
mittees, and it is said today that the
majority reports of the committees
would be strongly opposed In the con-
gress. The opposition is based on the
contention that the organization OF the
committees and sub-committees does
not represent the general sentiment OF
the congress. The South American
delegates, it is said. feel that they are
not recognized and It was limited today
that the votes OF the eighteen dele
gates from South and Central America
might be thrown solidly against the

was reported then. There are con-
f1icting statements as to the strength
of the insurgents and the control which
Spain has over the island. 1t is right
and proper that the facts that have
since reached the state department
should be laid before the senate and
the committee so that intelligent action
can be had" Mr. Davis says that the
sympathy with struggling Cubans is
as great as ever.
Another member of the committee
said that the senate was practically
without official information for nearly
a year. The senate would not be jus
titled in acting upon information year
or even six months old What it
wanted was the facts as they had
been reported from time to time and up
to date. The Republicans of the com
mittee do not feel justified in pushing
the administration until it has had
time to act. 1t has been pointed out
that only two months have elapsed
since the administration came to power,
and 1T has scarcely had time ii take up
and consider so important a matter
as that which has been presented. The
pending resolution unlike a joint reso :
luton, will require the executive either
to- approve or disapprove of it. This
being the case, the Republican senators
feel that they should. act in concert
with the executive. 1t is not believed
that, in case the senate foreign rela-
tons committee find, upon thorough
examination Of the reports in the sta tie
department, that the resolution is JUS
tilted, that an effort will be made to
prevent its passage. Members Of the
committee on foreign relations feel that
the question which confronts the sem
ate is serious. and any action that is
taken by the senate will have great
weight with the administration. In
case the resolution should pass both
to believe that it would not be approved
and that the United States govern
ment would thereafter conduct itself
on the lines which it lays down.
Tonight the subcommittee met Sec
rotary Sherman at the latter's house.
and had long conference with him.
The suggestion is advanced that the
president will be inclined to wait for u
report from Mr.. Calhoun, who left Sat
urday for Havana before making
known definitely his views. Mr.. Cal
houn went to Cuba primarily to inves-
tigate the causes attending the death
of Dr. Ruiz. but, it is believed the
president will expect him to report gen.
orally as to affairs on the island, SO
far as his observation goes, and that
Mr. Calhoun's conclusions will have
some weight in determining the pres
idents action.
Assistant Secretary Day, of the state
department, was at the White house
tonight and spent some time with the
president.

son was hanged here today in the Somerset
county jail. Clawson was nineteen years old.
He shot former employer, Harry Hodgett, a
farmer, on the morning of Aug. 80 last. The
