HOLLWEGG SPEAKS
 IN REICHSTAG

Berlin, December e.-Dr. Bethmann- Hollweg, the silent chancellor, as he has been called, delivered his maiden speech in the Reichstag today. In simple lan- guage and in a matter of fact manner he set forth the imperial government s policy was to stand aloof from parties and groups of parties; In short, that the gov ernment of Germany was not a gov ernment by party.
 The governmental measures would be submitted to the Reichstag for adoption, said-ehe chancellor, but he was not dis posed to define the constellation of par ties which he thought would support these measures.
 The recent political crisis over the taxa ton bill had made no change in German institutions, the chancellor said. Radical ism strove to divide all Germany into two political camps. But the excess of such dualism was a fiction devised for party objects. Germany, the chancellor af- frmed. needed continued and steady poli- cies, both at home and abroad. to satisfy the people to the end that their work. either material or intellectual might be undisturbed by disorders or experiments.
 During the speech the clericals and conservatives applauded with animation and the radicals and socialists from time to time uttered exclamations of disagree ment and protest.
 Within the next few days, possibly to- morrow. the chancellor will speak on for eign affairs.

NEGRO TROOPS
 MAY BE ABOLISHED

Washington. December s.-None of the members of the court of inquiry on the Brownsville shooting would discuss the matter, but it is intimated that demand for the abolition of the regiments of negro troops, which are provided for by law will be adopted by the southern dele- gation in Congress. Thus the bitter de- bate that marked the final days of the Roosevelt administration threatens to be renewed.
 The evidence discovered by the officers who compose the court is said to be susceptible of complete proof. Certain members. it is reported, made personal examination of buildings across the road from the fort in Brownsville and discov- cred bullet holes in the sides of the three houses. Continuing their Investigations, they discovered the bullets, which were of the regulation army design. Following back the line of fire as shown by the track of the bullet, the marksmen could have been nowhere else than within the barracks.
 The congressional defenders of the ne- gro infantrymen maintained that the only firing In the town was done by men of the Twenty-fifth who had broken parole, and that former President Roosevelt, in discharging two companies without indi- vidual military trial had worked severe injustice on both the companies and the regiment.
 It is said that the court has practically concluded its examination of the evidence 1t has secured.
