THE DEBATES WERE NOTABLE
First Official UtterarCeS Regarding the
 Lipps-DetmOld Affair.
WILLIAMS TRIP TO THE ORIENT
The Anglo-German Understanding and the Pending German-American Tariff Negotiations Also Come
 in for Full Discussion.

Berlin, December 1.-The sessions of the rechstag during the past week, though not so sensational as expected, were very in teresting from several points of view. The debates were notable for giving rise to the first official utterances of the .Lippe-Det- mold affair, Emperor Williams Oriental trip, the Anglo-German understanding and the pending German-American tariff nego- tiation. Some of the statements were sig . nificant. Thus Baron Won Thelman, the minister of finance speaking of the Span fsh-American war, said:
 While it is true that during the war the sympathies of our nation-I admit 1t freely were on the side of the weaker and wrongfully attacked party, yet the attitude of the empire throughout was perfectly cor rect, and statements to the contrary in the foreign press were malicious invent ons."
 Herr Richter, leader of the opposition, while confirming the correctness of Ger manys attitude during the war, remarked
 'I do not see why the sympath'es es of the German people could have been as over whelmingly as they were on the side of Spain."

Reduction of Imports

Count Posadowsky-Weh secretary of the interior and representative of the chan cellor referring to the reduction of imports from America. said: Experts have been sent to the United States to investigate the matter, and it depends upon their reports whether we can facilitate such imports"
 This statement refers to the dispatch of three German experts to the leading Amer ican exporting centers, especially New York and Chicago, last spring and summer. Their mission was secret. and their reports, now in the hands of the German government, are understood to be generally favorable to American interests.
 Another remarkable feature of the de- bates was the reference to the drebund and the Anglo-German understanding. Neither Baron Won Buelow, the minister of foreign affairs, nor any other minister nor the emperor himself in confidential talks with the presiding officers of the reich stag, have been explicit in respect to either. The Berln Tageblatt, commenting upon the speech of Baron Won Buelow, says:

Diphtheria Under Control - Improve
nients Under Way.

The diphtheria in this section, which has
been the cause of much concern to the
re sidents, seems to be under control The
physiciens interested in the case have been
following out the directions of the health
department, and this is one of the reasons
for the check put upon the disease. While
the number of cases has not diminished
yet the condition of the patients seem to
be considerably improved, and the number
of deaths from the disease have been re-
duced to a minimum.
In the schools of this section the utmost
precaution is observed in regard TO this
disease, and all of the pupils protected, as
far as possible, by the school authorities
The reign of typhoid fever seems to be

deaths since the last published accounts
So far az can be learned there mas been
only one new case of tyIhoid reported this
week, which is extremely gratifying. The
residents of Georgetown are at a loss to az
count for the prevalence of both typhoid
ard diphtherta at this season of the year.
The sewer department Of the District
government is making number of much
needed improvements in the sewerage sys-
tenn of this section, especially in the chang
ing Of the catch basins. The old-style ba-
sins, which were only seen in Georgetown
are being removed.
Those at the northeast and northwest
corners of 32d and streets have been
taken up and more modern sewers have
been built. which are even with the curb
ing. The old sewer at 32d and @ streets
is also being improved the same way, and
entirely new basin is being built The
catch basins at 32d street and Dumbarton

Law Protects Them and They Have
Become Very Bad.
Prom the Chicago Chronicle

The hunting season IN Maine opens on
October 1. but the deer herd on Mount
Desert will not be molested, because there
is special law which forbids the hunting
killing, or taking of deer on the island for
a term of five yeers. A few deer are un-
doubtedly killed each season. but without
the facts ever reaching the knowledge of
the game wardens.
Since the law went into effect two or
three years ago the deer on Mount Desert
have been rapidly increasing, until now the
island abounds with these willy creatures
The farmers have already begun to regard
the deer as an unnecessary evil and COM
plain that they enter their fields and dam
age their crops. In several instances the
town officials have been notified OF dam
age done to crops by deer, and compensa-
ton has been demanded AS the deer have
never been hunted ley have become quite
tame and bold enough to make frequent
raids upon the farmers fields and gardens.
cows and sheep and have got on friendly
terms with the dogs. The farmers no
doubt, find 1t convenient at times to kill
good fat doe, but do not boast of it, for
fear of being prosecuted and fined by the
wardens.
Farmer Walls. who lives down at Otter
creek, was surprised to find handsome
doe in his barnyard one morning this sum-
mer. The doe was standing contentedly in
the midst of the cattle and did not appear
to be frightened when Walls entered the
barnyard. The deer had come up from the
pasture and into the yard with the cattle
on the previous evening unnoticed in the
darkness. When the COWS were turned
back into the pasture the deer followed
them a few days later, when Mrs Walls
was washing out some clothes in her
Kitchen, she was startled by the same doe
poking her nose through the half-raised
window. Farmer Walls, who was in the
stable. heard his vile scream. and going TO
her assistance, drove the visitor away.
Two hne-looking deer held up coaching
party on the ocean drive one day last week
by planting themselves directly across the
road and refusing to move until forced to
do so by the whip of one of the coachmen.
The odd-looking wagons of the tourists. no
doubt. fascinated the animals, while the
pleasureseekers were more than delight
ed to see their first wild deer
The deer on Mount Desert are being pre-
served chiefly for the benefit of sportsmen
who visit Bar Harbor and the adjoining
resorts. and who will find excellent sport
and good shooting when the five years
close time has expired.
