QUICK TIME BY THE LUCANIA Why the Brazilian Rebels at Rio Gave Up. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS March 16.—The reichstag tcday finally passed the Russo-German commer- cial treaty by a large majority. When the debate on the treaty was re- sumed today Herr Hammerslein, conserva- tive, said that the treaty, instead cf be- coming a mile stone in german history, as described by the Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, the secretary of state for for- eign affairs, would rather be a grave stone, linscribed, “Here lies German husbandry, | which will not lorg be suryived by German industry.” Herr Sonnenberg, anti-Semite, described the treaty as a “domestic Jen: To this Herr Lieber rejoined that he rather likened it to the victories of 1870-71. During the course of the debate, Count Herbert Bismarck said that the remark that “the way to Constantinople is through | the Brandenburg Gate,” did not emanate from his father, who, according to he count, always held that Germany had no interest in the Mediterranean or in the east. Whe remark, he added, emanated from the present chancellor. To this Chancellor Von Caprivi replied, “I have always attributed that remark to a Russian source.
