This remark of the socialist deputy
aroused conservative demands that he

minutes.
When quiet was at length restored the
imperial chancellor arose and made reply
assuring the house that the universal
suffrage OF the empire was secure from
any attacks by the imperial government
or the Bundesrath.
Herr Groeber. clerical. pointed out the
conflict between DIR. Bethman Won Holl-
weg's position as chancellor of the empire

self to be believer in universal suffrage.
Nevertheless. Herr Bassermanh said that
he was convinced that any attempt to

Grand Rapids, Senator Smiths family
physician, assisted by DIR. T. l.. MacDon-
aid, dean of the Homeopathic Hospital
staff Senator Smith was under the knife
just twenty-four minutes. So well did the
senator stand the operation that DR..
Barth left Washington late last night for
his home. This is looked upon by Mrs.
Smith as an indication that the physicians
expect a rapid recovery on the part OF
her husband.
DIR. Macdonald said today that Senator
Smith was resting comfortably and do
ing as we'll as could be expected. Ihe
fact that Senator Smith was operated
upon after much of the inflammation had
subsidized and the pain gone, and that
the senator was In the best of health,
was given by DR.. Macdonald as one rea-
son why the operation had been so sue
cussful.
Refore going to the hospital yesterday
afternoon Senator Smith expressed a de-
sire to attend the session OF the Senate,
saving that he felt we'll enough, but DR..
Barth persuaded him to go to the hos
