The Rismarck-Lasker Sensation, THE RESOLUTION NOT KETURNED THROUGH MINISTER BANG When a Sar reporter inquired at the State de- partment to-day for Information regarding the re- ported return by Bismarck of the Herr Lasker reso- lution he was handed the following memorandui “It 1s learned at the Department of State that Mr. Sargent has no positive Information on the subject. He believes that the resolution las been returned. It has not been returned through him, and there 18 no oMiclal information as to 1t.” All further iutor- mation on the subject was refused. THE GERMAN MINISTER stated today that he had as yet received no nform- ation on the subject, and had no intimation that the resolution was on its way to him. ‘He added, however, that, If such were the case, he felt sure that the’ communication transinitting 1t would be of stich a character as to carry conviction that it Was returned in no retailatory spirit. ‘MM. OCHILTRER'S RESOLUTION. ‘The resolution which, scvording to the cable re- ports, Bismarck has returned to the American min- ister at Beriln, to be transmitted back to this country, Was offered in the House by Representa- tive Ochiltree on the 9th of January, and there Deing no objection adopted. ‘The text of thereso- luUon Is as follows :-—Kesolced, That this House has heard with deep regret of the death of the eminent man statesman, Edward Lasker. ‘That ls loss, fs not alone to be mourned by the people of ls na- ve land, where his firm and constant exposition, and devotion to free and Hberal fdeas have mate rially advanced the, social, poltical and economic condition of those people, but by the lovers of 1b erty tnroughout the world. ‘That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family of the de- ceased, a8 Well a3 to the minister of the Untied States'resident at the capital of the German em- fre, and to be by hin communteated through the legitimate channel to the presiding fer of the le- gislative body of which he was a mAg/er, GERMAN AND GERMAN-AMERICAS @exTOCENT. ‘The liberal press of Berlin condemus the action of Prince Bismarck. ‘The New York Staats Zeitung ot yesterday says “There fs little doubt that Bismarck 1s not a friend of the United States, and probably he looks down ‘with a sort of contempt upon the luct of politi- cal affairs in this country, * °° gah, crery meas. cura as Une msolence and ive of the athe tS ul Sap SF te ete AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY.
