BEBEL MAKES COMMENT.
Denies Kaiser's Telegram Reflects Ger
man Sentiment In Eastern War.

BERLIN, May 9.-During the discussion
following the third reading of the budget
bill in the reichstag today Herr Bebel, the
socialist leader, referred to Emperor Will
usms speeches at Carlsruhe and Mayence,
remarking that the pointed illusions to
France had caused great SURPRISE coming
30 soon after the emperor's return from
Italy where President Loubet had been
received with hearty ovations.
The empezor's words, the speaker added,
were enhanced in Importance through the
fact that he telegraphed Emperor Nicholas
from Sicily on the occasion of the sinking
OF the Russian battle ship Petropavlovsk
as follows:
'Russias mourning is Germany's mourn
ing"
Herr BebeI, continuing, said: II deny
n.ost emphatically the emperor's telegram
reflects the sentiments of the German peo-
PIE. In my opinion German sympathies
are far more on the side of Japan than on
that of Russia"
This statement caused murmurs of dis
sent on the right.
"The land in which such things can hap
pen as recently occurred In Russia, con-
tjnued Herr Bebel, stands upon such a low
level of civilization that all the rest Of
Europe has the most lively interest In
SEEING the sun of civilization rise upon it,
Might Lead to Republic.
Herr Bebel then alluded to the splendid
reforms inaugurated in Prussia after the
defeats of 1906. and Austria's defeat of 1896
had brought her into the ranks of constitu-
uonal states. The overthrow Of Napoleon
made France a republic, hence 1t can be
assumed that the defeat of Russia will have
nimilar result.
The socialist leader next referred to
Chancellor Won Buelow's statement that
Germany has only the slightest commercial
interests In Manchuria and read report
OF the Hamburg chamber of commerce set
ting forth that II Manchuria passes into
Russian possession Ii would be a severe
blow to Germany's trade.
Reasons for Russian Defeat.
Herr Bebel claimed that western Europe
has special reasons to rejoice IL Russia
loses the war. for, 1.-THE more Russia is
Weakened by the struggle the less likely It
becomes that Russia will mix in the affairs
Of western Europe"
The speaker referred to 1.-The far-reaching
entipathy of all civilized nations against
Germany" Abiding to the Emperor Fred
trick monument "unpacked in some corner
OF Washington and the Goethe monument
IN Rome. but not yet set up" Herr Bebel
did not deny Chancellor Won Buelow's ex-
blanation that this dislike of Germany was
"partly commercial jealousy and envy"
