Berlin. March 5.-(Copyright, 1898. by
the Associated Press I'm the reichstag
this week, during the debate on the re-
form of the military code, remarkable
statements were made by Baron Won
Hertting, the Bavarian Centrist leader,
and Count Won Leechenfeld, the repre-
sentative Of the Bavarian government.
Both asserted that if Bavaria was not
allowed to retain a separate highest
military court, there was danger Of a
very serious crisis. Baron Won Hertting
added: o.
THE separatists have been much
strengthened lately, their sentiment be-
ing shared not only by the masses, but
by the upper and the highest circles"
The minister of war, General Won
Gossler, admitted that Bavaria insist
ed upon separate military courts, and
though the question was debatable
which contention, he added, would be
constitution.
The reichstag, like the bundesrath,
supported Bayaria's claims.
At Z dinner which the imperial chan
cellor, Prince Hohenlohe, gave to the
parliamentary leaders, the same even
X,
tiv what was the actual feeling, and re-
ceived the reply that Bavaria, for some
time, has been decidedly prussophobic,
the regent and the whole Bavarian
court sharing this feeling.
In spite Of the strenuous opposition
of DR.. Miguel, the minister of finance,
and the whole government, the Prus-
sian diet has amended the government
bill for the relief Of the victims of the
Silesian woods, increasing the apprc-
pr1ation from 100000 to 10000, 900
marks. A number of delegates gave
narrowing details of the distress exist
ing, and insisted upon more prompt and
more generous help. DR.. MIGUEL denied
the urgency of the case, but the house
stuck to the amendment.
The SileSian provincial chamber this
week also appropriated 1000 900 marks
for the immediate relief of the suffer
ers.
WILLIAMS LAST SPEECH.
Passages in Emperor Williams
speech at the swearing in OF the naval
reserves at Wilhelmshaven recently,
already cabled to the Associated Press,
and one intimating the proximity of a
naval war, in which Germany would be
concerned, in which his majesty said
that when the day comes when Ger
many will have to show her power at
sea, I hope and trust all of you will be
ready to spill your blood as your fore
fathers did" are much commented
upon. The address was impromptu,
and the correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that upon the Emperor's
return Prince Hohenlohe, at the first
opportunity, demonstrated with his
majesty, pointing out that his utter
ances were calculated to seriously dis
turb Germany's good foreign relations.
At the recent anlbassadorial dinner,
Emperor William had a long converse
ton, with the United States ambassa-
dor. AIr. Andrew D. White, on the. sub
ject of Captain Mahan's books. His
majesty said he had read them all with
the greatest interest, had induced his
ministers to do the same and ex-
rendered a great service to all nations,
to Germany as much as to the United
States He added that he had met Cap
tain Mahan at Osborne, Isle of Wight, !
but, the emperor explained, he saw him |
for such a brief time and under cir |
cumstances so unfavorable as to render |
valuable conversation impossible, and |
he keenly wished to meet the captain |
again; hoped he would visit Germany |
and added that he would appreciate it |
if Mr.. White would write Captain Ma
han TO that effect, as the latter had |
interested MIN greatly as man, apart |
from his books.
A discussion is proceeding between
the emperor and the evangelical coun-
Gil of Prussia, relative TO the pro-
gramne and aim of the trip to Pales- /
tine in October, the court marshal fix
ing all the details, which win be sub
mitted to the emperor before they are
adopted. One of his majesty's main
objects is to determine authoritatively
the exact sites of Golgotha, the temple
of Jerusalem, the cruciiXiOn, the pre-
forum and similar places.
LARGE STRIKES.
There have been large strikes in
number OF German cities. In Berlin
12,0e0 shoemakers have struck for
uniform scale of wages, and it IS
thought that the shoemakers elsewhere
viii join. The cabinet makers OF Ham
burg and Algona have struck for nine
5000 cigarette makers have gone out
on strike. There are similar reports
from CharlOttenburg, Stettin, Koenigs-
berg and Sorau, and big strikes are
impending in the Rheinish mining dis
trict. At Baron Won Stumms request a
detachment of troops has been sent TO
the Saar district TO preserve order
The Prussian government at last re-
allies, after the years trial, that the
bourse law is a total failure and it in
tends to relax its enforcement as a
legislative modification is at pes Mt i'm
possible, owing TO the opposition of the 7
agra rians.
Statistics just published show that
curing 1897, under the new law. the
prices CT cereals in Berlin increased
only 10 marks DER ton, against an aver
age increase of 80 marks per ton at all !
other grain centers OF Europe.
