HOT Time IN REICHSTAC
CHARGES AGAINST LATE HERR
KRUPp BRINGS ON DEBATE.
Socialists Revile President of Body
and Vollmar Becomes Critical-von
Buelow Answers Him - Asserts
That Socialist Was Wrong and
Says the Working People Are Well
Treated-other News Notes.

Berlin, Jan. 21.-Herr Vollmar, So
cialist, attempted to raise a debate in
the reichstag today on the charges
against the late Herr Krupp and the
emperor's position on the subject. The
president ruled the debate out of order
end interposed several times to prevent
Vollmar from continuing his remarks.
The socialists who reviled the president
frequently referred to him as "a mis-
cradle dog" Vollmar insisted he had a
right to discuss the emperor's speeches
or the affair, but the president decided
his majesty's expressions of opinions in
sympathy, following Krupp's death, be-
longed to the emperor's private life.
Vollmar remarked that the emperor's
speeches were printed in the official
r~eichsanzeiger and hence could be as
sumed as belonging to public affairs,
but the president again overruled him.
In discussing foreign relations Herr
Nollmar said hat the socialists wanted
to know what Venezuelan ships had
been sunk and why the Venezuelan
forts were bombarded, adding: I'VE
want full information on all the phases
Of the INTERPRETATION efforts since
President Roosevelt's refusal to arbi-
trate. We hope the government will not
repeat Napoleon's Mexican adventures.
Repelling Vollmar's statement that
the emperor was following anti-social
tendencies the chancellor Won Buelow
said:
o the contrary, the country does
not exist where so much is accomplish
ed for the welfare of the working peo-
pie as in Germany. This is due to the
monarch's initiative. The emperor is
convinced that the century's task ISIS to
expand the social reform legislation
and the monarchy is strong enough to
alleviate the existing evils. Laborers
have equal rights with other classes.
Charges Of Ceasarism and Banapartism
are empty talk. | know of no case
where the rights of the German people
ere infringed upon by the emperor. The
chancellor does not need to resign
whenever he disagrees with the sover-
eign. The emperor is able to bear con-
viction, and neither he nor the German
people wishes the chancellor to be a
mere instrument of his will"
Chancellor Won Buelow. discussing
the Venezuelan situation Caid: pres
ident Castro has recognized in princi-
pie the justice Of Germany's. of Great
Britain's and OF Italy's demands and
has agreed to the preliminary condi-
tons for transferring the controversy
to The Hague arbitration court. The
diplomatic conference is about 10 begin
at Washington. The American govern
ment has kindly undertaken 10 conduct
the negotiations. Our aim is to bring
armed action to the speediest possible
termination. The blockade will be rails
ed as oon as the negotiations with
Washington have reached a satisfactory
conclusion. When circumstances admit
of it shall give the ~reichstag further
information. A full agreement has pre-
vailed between Great Britain and Ger
many as well as Italy throughout the
entire matter" He then spoke of the
criticisms of German policies by the
English press, saying if, at all. it could
be explained through certain embitter-
ment of English people over the violent
attacks of the continental press during
the South African war. Such excitement
interferes with the work of diplomat
lists but the relations of the monarchs
and the cabinets of London and Berlin
have remained undisturbed and public
opinion will be quoted in time"
