celebrated ducal house of Litts-Fis-
CONT rese has renounced its Italian
nationality. The Duke married Coun-
tess Rosa Tarsis, noted beauty, by
whom be had Two daughters, ana
some time afterwards boy. The Duke
repudates the boys paternity, and &C
cuses very high person. He has es
tabished the fact in the courts that the
child is not his, bu', as divorce does
not exist in Italy, tue Duke has be-
come French citizen, and has insii-
tuted proceedings against his duchess
on statutory grounds, naming King
Aumhert ss &C respondent.
IL is probable that the suit will be
undefeuded. The intimacy Ietween
the king and the duchess is known
from one eud OF Europe 10 the other.
1t existed several months prior 10 his
marriage and continued atttrward TIE
Indignation felt by Queen Margu t. i,

Berlin, December 17.-The sessions OF
the rcchstag during the past week, though
not SO sensational as expected, were very
interesting from several points OF view.
The debates were notable, on the Lippe-
Detmold affair. Emperor Williams ORR
entail trip, Anglo-German understanding
and the pending German-Amerlcan under
standing and the pending German tariff
negotiations. Some Of the statements were
significant.
Baron Won Thielman, the minister OF
finance speaking of the Spanish war. said:
while it is true that during the war the
sympathies of our naton-l admit 1t quite
freely--were ON the side OF the weaker and
wrongfully attacked party, yet the atti-
tude of the empire throughout was perfect
ly correct, and statements to 4lhe contrary
I'M the foreign press were malicious inven
tions''
Herr Richter, leader of the opposition,
while confirming the correctness OF Gsr-
manys attitude during the war. remarked.
II do not see why the sympathies OF tho
German people could have. been so over
whelming, DIS they were on Tho side OF
Spain"
Count posedowsky Wiener, secretary OF
the Interior and representative Of the chan
cellor, referring to the reduction IN en-
ports from America, said: Experts have
| been sent to the United States to investi-
| gate the matter. and 1t depends upon their
reports whethep we can facilitate such
| imports"
THIS statement refers to the dispatch OF

| American exporting centers, especially New
| York and Chicago, last spring and summer.
| Their mission was secret and their reports
are now in the hands of the German gov
/ eminent and are understood to be gem
orally favorable To American interests.
| Another remarkable feature of the de-
! bates was the reference 70 the dreibtind
| and tho Anglo-German understanding.
| Neither Baron Won Buelow. the minister OF
! foreign affairs, nor amy other minister. nor
the emperor himself In confidential talks
| with the presiding officers of the reich
stag, has been explicit in respect to either.
The Berlin T@geblatt, commenting upon
| the speech of Baron Won Buelnw, says.
| The speech was more remarkable Tor It's
omissions than for It's contents"
The impression Lent in the rechstag was
that a deep and lasting fissune had been
driven into the dreipund, and It is sig
nilicant that Herr Basserman. the spokes-
man of this national liberals and hitherto
the stoutest friend OF Nhe drebund, said:
'"rhe provocative tone of Count Thun-
flohenstein towar Germany is unjustih-
able. 1t is apparent that tho German en-
plre must be strong enough 20 Stand on us

A number of speakers expressed them
