E:NMITY TOWARD ENGLAND.
shown in Debate in the German
Reichstag Today.

BERLIN. January 19-In the reichstag
today the debate on Herr Moeller's joint in
terpellation of the government regarding
warships was opened. Herr Moeller said
vigorous expression must be given to the
Indignation felt at the fact that the subsi-
died line to which the vessels belonged
had observed the strictest neutrality, and
expressed the opinion that the matter
should furnish the opportunity of defining
the rights of mail steamers.
The unloading Of the Bundesrath. he
added could have been effected within few
days. The delay showed want of considera-
tion for international courtesy, and it
should be made incumbent upon the British
officials to announce whether and to what
extent their views in regard to the rights
of mail steamers had been changed. The
action. the speaker continued, appeared ar
bitrary. and it was Germanys duty to de-
mand security for her ships in the future
from all maritime nations. Germany was
so neutral that even her arms factories had
been prohibited from supplying the belliger-
ents. The present case afforded a rare
spectacle of the unity of all parties.
Great Britain had not always maintained
attitude, and Englishmen should take care
not to draw themselves the hatred of
the civilized world. This statement was
greeted with loud cheers.

LABOR LEADER RELEASED
Had Been Punished for Addressing Non
Union Men.

The Department of Justice has received
telegram announcing that Circuit Judge
Amos Nj. Thayer, sitting at Topeka, Kan,
mas released John P. Reese labor leader,
on habeas corpus proceedings.
The case is one of great interest in labor
circles throughout the country.
Reese was one of the leading coal miners
engaged in The coal mine strike in Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Indian territory. Dis
trict Judge John A. Williams, in proceed
ings brought before him at Topeka, granted
an injunction forbidding the striking miners
from using any means to deter non-union
miners from going to work. Reese made a
speech at Yale, Kan, in November last to
a party of non-union men, and was so eff
fective in what he said that all Of them
refused to go to work Reese was arrested
and taken before Judge Williams on the
charge of contempt of court in disregarding
the portion of the injuEction forbiddtng the
use of any means to induce men not to
work. Reese was sentenced on November
20, 1889, to three months in Jail and to pay
fine of 500.
Throughout the country labor organiza-
tions quickly took the matter up, denounced
the action of Judge Williams as an outrage
on justice and liberty, and Retitioned the
Department of Justice for a pardon for
Reese. The petition was pending when the
telegram arrived announcing the release on
habeas corpus.

Stirring Events Expected Soon in
Vicinity of Ladysmith.

LONDON. January 10 DDS p.m-Mes-
sages from the front appear to confirm the
general impression that events in Natal
will now move quickly. though hardly as
rapidly as the tongues and pens of the ru-
NOR mongers. There is nothing up to the
present to support the story that the re-
lief of Ladysmith is an accomplished fact,
but il is learned on excellent authority that
the situation is now regarded at the war
office with entire confidence, and that the
beleaguered town is considered practically
relieved, although there Is no attempt to
underrate the danger and difficulty of Cen
eral Bul- er's task. As suggested in these
dispatches yesterday. General Warren was
actually in the vicinity of Acton Homes
Wednesday. and a portion of his force
under Lord DundOnald, secured an import
ant position westward of that place, during
the evening of January II. on the Beers

camp outside of Ladysmith ought to be
