KaiSer'S Police Aid Those Of
 the Czar.
Baron Mchthofen Answers Criticism of Governments Course Saying Procedure Followed is Not
 Formal Extradition.

Berlin, Jan. 19.-The intimate relations between Germany and Russia were brought out in the Reichstag to-day dur Ing discussion over the privileges given to Russian secret agents on this side Of the frontier
 Herr Ernest Haas. who was put fur- ward by the socialists to question the government on the subject, opened the attack. He asserted that Russia mai1s tained a chief of spies in Berlin named Tardik, who received 5000 yearly and enjoyed the title of His Exceliency. Herr Haas then mentioned by name Tar diks principal assistant whose relations with the German government were such as to permit them, Herr Haas affirmed, to use the German police agencies and other residents. occasionally getting at the postal officials and opening mail ad- dressed to Russians.
 Methods of Housebreakers.
 The deputy accused the spies of usfna the methods of house-breakers, seem- ingiy without exciting police vigilance. and said they forged power of attor ney to receive the mail of socialist member of the Reichstag suspected of being in correspondence with Russians who were under the disapproyai of the Russian government.
 Her Haas then asked the ministers if 1t was not true that Russians were com ducted across the Russian frontier af the request of the Russian government without extradition papers or the bring ing of specific charges. The principle laid down by the German Government. the deputy added. seemed to be that any Russian residing in Germany who was obnoxious to his own government became thereby immediately an undesirable resi- nenf. ~4 h<.ss. ..tr cross any frontier he pleased, he was put across the Russian frontier.
 Richtofen in Reply.
 Baron von Richthofen, the Secretary Of Foreign Affairs. answering Herr Hass. denied all save two of the charges in de- tall. The Secretary did not answer the complaint regarding the violation of tlsa postal laws, referring the questions ID the Director of the Postoffice, when flaa postal estimates were discussed.
 Continuing. the Secretary said Herr Haas had repr0ached the Governmeet with lending assistance to Russian agents. This he admitted. The Government had no reason to protect the revoiutionary subjects against neighboring friendly states. The common interests of ciytlixa- ton demanded watching over anarchists
 The Government has no other course than to deliver Russian anarchists to tho Russian Government. Other states would not be thankful for Russian anarchists. The procedure was not, properly speaking, since the Russian Government did not formally demand their extrads- tion. The German Government simply put troublesome foreigners over whichever frontier 1t regarded as most suitable.
 This statement of the Secretary caused laughter on the right and cries of That Is worse yet" from the socialists.
 Should Not Be Anarchists.
 The Secretary declared that Russians should not be anarchists if they desired to live in Germany.
 On the motion of Herr Singer, Social ist. the Reichstag decided to enter into a debate on the question, the members of the Right party voting in the negative.
 Herr Rebel, who opened the debate. stated thetNa well informed Russian had assured him that what Germany regarded as anarchists did not exist in Russia at all. Herr Rebel characterized the deliv- cry of Russians whose only crime Was discontent with the reignnig political con ditions, to the Russian police, to be trans ported to Siberia, or indefinitely impris- oRea. as being barbarism. Sucn con- servative leader as Count Limberg Ia member of the Reichstag) would undoubt- edly be deported to Siberia if he under took to advocate In Russia what he ao- vocated in the German Parliament.
 Herr Rebel compared the protest raised by Italy in favor of the Russian Soelal- ist editor, Cotz, year ago. which pre-. vented his extradition, with the Germln practice. The German Government and the German Empire had become 'Russias bootblack."
