day in the Reichstag on the estimates. Herr Bebei the socialist leader, declared Russia could easily seize Kioau Chou when ever 1t suited her fancy and there fore Germany should exercise her moral influence to prevent difficulties in East Asia.
 Herr Rebel asserted that the naval en- thusiasts including those in the highest circles, were quietly engaged in a pro- paganda for a new squadron of battle ships. He also attacked the imperial financial system on the ground that 1t imposed undue burdens on the poor. He then charged the government with co- operating with Russia in spppressing poii- tical discontent The Russisn police. he asserted. acted in Prussia ns though at home. They received every sort of ser vice from the Prussian authorities and dozens of Russian secret police agents were busy in Berlin and other centers spying on the doing of Russian students or Russian residents This Herr Bebel declared, was one exhibition of Caesar ism. as practiced in Germany. Others were the receptions of Cornelius Wander bilt, unnecessary gifts to foreign nations and spectacular paradlngs of army corps.

 Exhibition of Caesarism.
 Aliuding again to the receptions of Mfr. Vanderbilt at Dantzic Herr Bebel said:
 ''what has he done to deserve all this applause? These things give the impress sion of weakness. not Of strength"
 In the course of ferocious attack on Russia, which caused the supporters of the ministry to shake their heads In dismay because such language about neighbof- ing power had rarely been heard in the German parliament, Herr BebeI said:
 Russia is essentially barbarous state, against whose best faculties all the Euro pean governments have made no pro-

 Drove Chinese Into River.
 He asserted that Rus sn general had driven thousands of Chinese into the Amur river, and said the arrest of a Rus sian spy at Sofia had resulting in finding among his papers "Docamentary proofs that Russia was privy to the plan to ss- sassinate King Alexander, months before the crime occurred.'
 Replying to Herr Bebel. Chancellor von Bueiow declared the governmsnt was firmly determined to continue the develop ment of social legislation in favor of the masses. He would add that nothing lin- dered progress In this direction more than the habit of the Social Democrats of con- n@cting socialism with anti-monsrchical tendencies History, however. proved that monarchies had made more rapid prog ress, socially than republics, because 0 monarch occupied a position of independ- ence above classes and parti7s.
 Herr Rebel has asserted that serv lity, Byzantinism al h Caes rism prevailed in Germany. The Chancellor. however. de- clared that there was Caesarism below as well as above.
 Herr Rebel had demanded all sorts of freedom but asked the Chance Tor how did freedom fare In the Social Democracy partyf
 This question was followed by Socialist interruptions.
 Buelow's Vigorous Answer.

Herr Bebel had rebuked Herr Berp- stein. msmbor ef the Relchs az. he said. in a way the Chancellor would not cor rect the lowest official. The Roman pa- pacy was never more lavish with bu h and ex-communications than the Social Democratic majority under Herr BeDel
 After discussing at considerable length the Socialists dreams of a sociallzed state. Count won Buel0w said: Tt would be the worst luck that could happen to you, So- cialists, if you came suddenly into pow CT. for then your inability to oi ganize pro- ductive industries. your incapacity to con- duct a foreign policy, your complete im- potence would be revealed under bengal ire."
 Turning again to the socialists Count AnA ks.w.a and pointed out the impossibility of any realization of their dream for the over turning of the present order of society and he added:
 "The State will defend Itself Who is the State? You would soon lind out if you resorted to action. We shall be able to defend the existing order of things. The fundamental principles on which that order rests are religion. monarchy and civilization, slowly emerging through the centuries.
 Ready for Defense.
 ''We shall defend the House which has given shelter to so many generations. and which Is to remain the home of our children, the house on which many gem eratlons have labored, and which had for It's architects the great minds of ef- ficIent men. It stands as the result of much devotion and fidelity, much sweat and blood. and we shall be ready to de- fend it with perfect firmness and per- feet calmness. We do not fear the dam ger of the socialists overturning it. All attempts to displace organic, lawful and constitutional developments with Illegal and forcible revolution will break down before the common sense of the Ger man peope who would be bereft of their common sense if they followed you.''
 Chancellor von Buelow was greeted with long and continued applause at the conclusion of his speech.
 The social Democrats offered a resolu- ton for the suspension during the ses- sion of criminal proceedings against Her ren Kunert and Schoepfin. members of the Reichstag.
 Herr Kunert Is to be tried before the court at Halle for heaping ridfcule on the Asiatic expeditionary corps and Herr Schoephin before the imperial court at Leipsic for lese majeste,
