HOT DEBATE IN REIcHsTAe.
Herr BebeI, Socialist Leader, criticises
BUDGET.

Budget.
Berlin, Dec. 6.--Herr Bebel, the So
cialist leader, and the keenest critic
of the government at all times, analy-
zed the budget in the reichstag yester-
day. Secretary of the Treasury Won
Stengel, he said, had sketched on Sat
urday the deplorable fiscal situation of
the empire in terms SO true that he re-
GREETED the French custom could not be
followed and the speech posted thru
out the country as a ministerial dec
laration of the position into which the
country had been drawn by the govern
ment's policies, the national debt in
creasing $100,0O0,0O0 during the year.
On account of this showing of the ma
tional finances, Bebel opposed the pro-
posed increase of army and navy and
colonial policy.
Herr Bebel who spoke for about
three hours, discussed the details OF the
appropriations, deducing therefrom
that on works of general public utility
the government was parsimonious while
on glory policies it was generous AT
the cost of going into debt.
Chancellor Won Buelow replied to
Bebel He defended the government
against Bebeps criticism and combat
ted every statement he made adverse
to the empires policy. He was espec-
tally vehement in sustaining the gov
ernment's course in it's relations with
Russia.

have conference with the prisoner.
AS the remaining attorneys were
willing to grant this continuance Ref
cree Helmick postponed the meeting

then taken before Judge Bollinger to
answer to the charges of forgery and

for time to plead and stated that At

Counsel for the Defense Tells Jury
the Government Has Failed. !,
Portland Ore, Dec. 6.-The argu-
ment of counsel for the defense in the
land fraud case commenced yesterday,
Lawrence F. Pute, Of Eureka, CAL,
brother of one Of the defendants, being
one of the first speakers to address the
court and jury on behalf of the persons
accused of conspiracy to de<raud the
government of public lands.
The speaker held that the govern
ment had failed to make out its case
against the prisoners, and attacked the
testimony of the governments prtnci-
pal witnesses, Mantague, and Hefdeke.
as being unworthy Of belief. Counsel
asserted that the principals in the de-
fense were innocent purchasers of the
land and not responsible for deceptions
practiced upon them. and that the per-
sons whom the government alleges are
fictitious are living human beings, who
actually went upon the lands in ques-
ton.
Judge o'Day went before the jury
yesterday to defend himself Of certain
aspersions thrown upon him by wit
nesses for the government. Judge
o,Day finished during the afternoon.

DRINK VS.. WAR BUDGET.
German Leader Says Nations Liquor
Bill Far Exceeds Military Fund.

German Leader Says Nations Liquor
Bill Far Exceeds Military Fund.
Berlin, Dec. g. - "A country that
spends $75O,OOO,OOO yearly for spiritu-
GUS liquors can spend $300,000,000 as an
| insurance premium for national safe
| ty," declared Chancellor Won Buelow in
defending the military budget in the
| reichstag yesterday.
| The budget had been the object of a
strong attack by Herr Bebel, the So
cialist leader and the keenest critic of
| the government at all times. Secretary
Of the Treasury Won Stengel, he said,
had sketched on Saturday the deplor-
able financial situation of the empire
| in terms SO true that he regretted the
French custom could not be followed
| and the speech be posted thruout the
country as a ministerial declaration of
the position into which the country
had been drawn by the governments
policies, the national debt increasing
100,000,000 during the year.
Why then should the army be in
creased? Why should the naval pro-
gram be continued? Why should inn
mense sums be sunk in the colonies? :?
that together formed the so-called
an enlarged scale when the country
was being thereby brought into the
most serious financial embarrassment? :?
Herr Bebel discussed the details Of
the appropriations, deducing there
from that on works of general public
utility the government was parsilnOn-
ious, while on "glory policies" it was
generous at the cost Of going into debt.
Regarding the subject of military
expenditure, Court Won Buelow in re-
ply denied that Germany was spend
ing relatively more than other great
nations. Discussing the anti-German
feeling in Great Britain he reiterated
that the purpose of the German navy
extension was purely defensive.
II cannot conceive" he continued,
"that the thought of an Anglo German
war is seriously entertained by the rea-
sonable people Of both countries"
The chancellor agreed with Herr Be-
bel in the statement that If a great
European war breaks out the socialists
will profit thereby. adding:
.sThere is further reason why the
governments of all the great powers
are maintaining their present peace
policy"
Referring to Herr Bebers description
of the internal conditions of Russia,
Count Won Buelow remarked:
When Herr Bebel thus warns up
over Russian autocracy he condemns
himself without knowing it, for the
manner in which he lords 1t over MS
own party corresponds with the Rus
sian conditions that so greatly dis
please him. The order of things he
wants to introduce with us would lay
Russian despotisrn in the shade"
