COMMERCIAL ~ TREATY ~ WITH RUSSIA 1t Wil Probably Be Passed Now that that of Roumania Has Been Accepted —some Interesting Gossip wnd News from tho Fatherland. Capyrtghted 1893 by the Associated Preas.. Beruiy, Dee. 16.—The importance of yes- terday’s debate in the Reichstag centered on Count Herbert Bismarck’s unexpected coming to the front asone of the leaders of the conservative party. The agrarians selected him to be their champion solely on account of the weight of his historic name; and although his arguments raised no yoint not already covered by the opponents of the commercial treaties, and, m [fact, Herr Richter pertinently remarked, the whole speech was couched in such general terms that it would suit any commercial treaty, yeuv the trenchant vigor of Count Herbert Bismarck’s language was in such striking contrast to his former parliamentary style that even his friends were surprised and de- lighted, and the conservatives, abandoning their attitude of reserve displayed toward him since his father's dismissal from oftice, applauded him vociferously. Count Herbert us o Bimetallist. During the course of his remarks Count Herbert Bismarck said that the treaties were calculated to undo the great work of 1870 and 1881, through the measures for the protection of national products and industry which bis father carried through, and showed himself in a new light as a convert to bimetallism. The count quoted a pam- phlet of the archbishop of Dublin in arguing that unless the currency question was set- tled the peasantry would become bankrupt, defended the farmers union as having pre- vented many discontented rural voters from going over to the social democrats, and im- plored the government to remember that 20,000,000 persons 1n Germany were more or less dependent on agriculture for a liveli- hood. Continuing,the count pointed to the case of England, where, he claimed, agriculture was practically ruined and the country depended upon foreign supplies. This, he said, was the cause of the maval panic and quoted Cobden’s exhortation to spend £20,000,000 as necessary to maintain England’s © naval supremacy, saying if England lost a great naval battle and her coasts were blockaded she would be compelled to accept peace at any price within exght days. Such was the consequence, the count concluded, of allow- ing national agriculture to wither. Though Count Herbert Bisn k does not inherit his father’'s mental gifts, henow stands on a level with the foremost leaders of the conservative party, which is rather weak in statesmanlike qualities, and he may attain a leading position in the councils of the party. Richter's Vigorous Reply. The agrarians, smarting under their de- feat during the Roumania debate, brought their full force again to bear on the govern- ment. Instead of the mere formal debate expected, six hours were spent in speeches Herr Richter closed the debate with a vigor ous defense of the government against the conservative attacks, illustrating, with bit- ter sarcasm, the principles and chavacter of agrarian agitation, and ridiculed the idea of presenting England as a lost country. Herr Richter, during his spzech, said: “And if, in their atriotism, they are willne to make a large naval outlay, they owe thew ability to do so to their free trade policy. We, on the other hand, haveso much difiiculty in covering the cost of the army bill because our prosperity is retarded by the protection policy.” B ferr Richter then attacked Count Bis- marck, whose clection he described as being duo to the illegitimate influence of the local authorities, claiming he was only elected vy a majority of 220 and that a petition against his election lay before the house. Then, in a peroration which caused a stormy scene, Herr Richter declaved that no German gov- erument ever received such treatment from the conservatives. Honest opposition, Herr Richter continued, could not be censured, but when the government had been led to believe that it was entitled to the support of a certain party in coucluding the treaties and was suddenly deserted, from tactical or other considerations, it was the prestige of Germany which suffered. “We, therefore, on the left side of the house,” exclaimed Herr Richter. “must close up, shoulder to shoulder, asa great party in order to protect the authority of the state against undermining attempts which originate in the conservative party. Russian Treaty Next, 1t will be intercsting to watch what will be the next move of the discomfited agravians, The passage of the treaties ha: paved the way for the adoption of the Russian treaty, and while nothing can be assured with certainty, those in a position to judge best believe the majority for the Russian treaty will be even a little larger than for the Roumanian treaty, because a number of its opponents declared that after tho passuge of the latter it would be seuse- less to oppose the Russian treaty. Chancellor von Caprivi did uot explain fully the meaning of his words in the closing speech on the Roumanian treaty, stating the governwent would not accept the responsi- bility of its rejection. Some people are in- clined to think he threatened o dissolution of the Reichstag, But the Associated press is assured a perfect change in the policy of the government (namely, a bitter fight against tho conservatives) would have been the consequence. In congratulating Chancellor von Caprivi and Baron Marschall von Beiberstein, the secretary of state for foreign affairs, the emperor could not overlook the fact that vie- tory was due to the votes of social democrats and radicals of all shades, Guelphs, oles and advanced national liverals, those ele. wents who for years have suffered under the reproach of being enemies of thy empire. ‘The radical pape tate that a dissolu- tion would have been in tneir interest, for in some parts of the empire the conservat tives would have been swept away in now elections held upon the issue of the treaties, but they were satisfied an appeal to the voters should be prevented. as it would give their own Germany aguin into a period of damaging excitement. Of forty members absent from the division on the Roumanian treaty it has been ascer- tained that at least twenty-three are pre- pared to support the Russian treats Prepared for the Anurchists. Tt is fully confirmed that Chancellor von Capriviisof the opinion that the present legislation is sufficient to deal with all an- archists and no initiative steps are expected from Germany. The Berlin adherents of the party are very downhearted, as every individual belonging to it is well known and continually shadowed by the police, who have never been lacking in information from their own ranks. Every speaker indulging in exciting language at meetings is promptly “sent up.” Under the law quite a number are alrcady in prison and others aro awaiting trial. They will soon find it too hot for them here, and as other states of Europe will not lev them pass the frontier they will av last try to go to America, where invasions of this character may be looked for, During the debate on the estimates of the ministry of the interior in the Bavariun lower chamber today a discussion arose on the question of che growing socialist agita- tion. The mimster of the interior declared only strong reserve measures would be of any avail in repressing the socialists, whom the government would combat so far as the law permitted. The socialists, however, the minister concluded, had nothing to fear while they obeyed the law. May Pardon Tt is thought certain the cmperor will shortly pardon the Leipsic spies und have them sent back to France. This is geuerally done when the spies are officers and when it is believed they were acting under orders and in pursuing their legitimate calling. They thus differ widely from the spies who work for any party which pays the best, This is generally done by all governments, and their confession and owning up to their ranks will be considered. Had they con- tinued to refuse to own up they would have been made to serve their time, which was today fixed upor x years for Degong and four years for Delgay, not at hard Jabor, as the public prosceutor demanded, but of de- tention in a fortress. It will be recalled that the public prosecutor asked that a term the Spies. of five years of imprisonment at hard labor cars be imposed upon Degong and four upon Delgay; thus the judge today incr the length of tho senior I'rench ofticer’s it~ vrisonment by one year and altered the nature of the detention of both of the con- vieted spics port Premiam on Sugar. The news circulated by the Polische Nachrichten, and reprinted by the Nord Deutsche Zeitung, regarding thoe intention of the zovernment to continue the export premium on sugar after January, 1805,which ate is fixed by law for the commencement of lowering the premium, which will be swipped off entirely after an- uary. 1807, is not based upon any government action, but is probably based on reports sent out by the st terest with the view to discover whether the government contemplates any new de parture. It is supposed the next few days will clear the matter up and that some offi- cial announcement of the government's in- tention will be made. Postmaster Stephan has just consented to the opening up of ielephone communication between Cologne and Aix-la-Chappelle and Brussels and Liege. This isa new depart- ure in a certain degree, indicating a change in the political -views previously held on this subject. For years telephone connec- tion between Germany and the other side of the wostern frontier has been refused for obvious reagons. It now scems there is no danger to be anticipated from a misuse, in a political sense, of the telephone lines cross- ing the frontier, “I'he reported illness of the crown prince is not believed in best circles, The crown prince was seen last week playing with his brothers and was then in the best of health. UNDER THE NEW LAW, French Anarchist Fress Alrendy Moderat- ing Its Tone. vDON, Dec. 16. —A correspondent of the Telegraph at Paris says: The first results of the press law are already apparent. The anarchist and socialist prints are becoming more moderate in their tone, but it is ex- pected thata large crop of revolutionary pamphlets will soon be put in circulation. A new socialist organ appeared yesterday, the editor bewng a member of the staff of a paper with which M. Goblet and Millerand ave connected. An editorial in the new pa- per described hiberty as mutilated, and at its last gasp it adds: “We are promised a Russian alliance and we have that of the “Cossacks, which 18 bette DRIVEN & OM THEIR A0MES, Story of Privation and Viole Prospective Mob from Ri Loxvox, Dee, 16.—A letter received here from Rio de Janciro dated Novembe N says that many people are being driven from their homes owing to the military operations and that as a result their sufferings ana privations ave very great and they are obliged to receive public retief. 1t is added that the government is making arbitrary arrests daily and that the prisons are crawded with suspects.

[Copyrighted 1893 by Press Publishing Company.) Benviy, Dec. 16.—[New York World Cable ~Special to Tue Bee,|—The alleged differ- ences of opinion between the emperor and Chancellor Caprivi are forming the subject of comment in various quarters. The Muenchener Zeitung, Bismarck's chief organ, is particularly busy making capit out of the annoyance sail to have been caused 1o the emperor by the postponement of the Wurtemburg mancuvers, and it hangs on this veg a long discussion about tho military and civil condition of Wurtemburg, where, not the govornment, but the democracy is reigning. Capriviis blamed for the present developments, because he postponed the maneuvers during the emperor's visit to England. The emperor is said to have ap pointed General von Bronsart war minister of Prussia without Caprivi's knowledge or advice, knowing that the count, who 1s the Prussian minister of foreign affairs, as well as the imperial chancellor, was opposed to Bronsarv's appointment, Result of a Duel. Tieutenant Baron Lucius, son of a former minister of agriculture, has just entered the Second Guard regiment of hussars as a pri- vate, with the Imperial consent. He re- signed his commission after nghting a sabre duel and underwent three months confine- ment in u fortress. He will regain his former rank in a few months time. This is ample proof that imprisonment for dueling leaves no staig on honor and is no disquali- fication 1n any walk of life The emperor beat ihe record in shooting last week at Barby. During two hours he shot 385 hares, or over two per minute. He used six guns. This Is the more remarkable because he can only use one arm. v Tack.

The German exhibit of engincering at Chi- cago will be displayed in Berlin as an exhi- bition by itself next summer. This is largely due to the unqualified praise bestowed on it by the American press and public, Will Have n New Meeting litace. Few more Reichstags will meet in the old sombre gray square building of severely Prussian architecture in the Leipsiger strasse. The mildewed and fossilized struc- ture will see its last days as a~senatorial house wext year. It belongs to a past order of things and must give way 1o the ‘‘new course, Ivis played out. People said so long before Bismarck's voice ccased to be heard within its walls, It cannot expand as young United Germany has expanded, From the street it looks like an antiquated insur- ance office. No store window displays u picture of Germany's great history of manu- factory. There is something too undignified about a plain, two-story, tiled gable roof building for a modern day camera with any degree of self-respect. The Reichstaghaus is crushed and wedged 1 between by two high buildings and faced by thriving siores. 1t is inferior in its architectural effect to any modern dwelling house in the capital, Graat in Associations, Only in its memories and its associations does it rise above all that has been, and probably will be, in the history of the em- pire. In its unpretentious assembly hall have stood turee German emperors, There has come the greatest diplomatist in the century to meet his cuemies and confound them, There has been scen the ascetic- featured Moltke. Tt was here that the iron chancellor on that memorable 19th of July announced that France had thrown down the gauntlet against Prussia, But the giants of those days —where are they now? All gone; all. One dismissed by an imperial master, the rest called away by & grim and more imperious summons, The memories of the past that lin, in the old Reichstaghaus are in the boud of union that has been made the German people what they are today. They will let the building in which that union made live out its mellow old days alone, untouchod. Amid the new generation that has sprung up it is antiquated out of place, New Building Almost Completed, The new building was commenced in 1884 and will be opened by the emperor uext year. The scaffolding was taken down a fow weoks ago, But long before that people said it was a-huge architectural mistuke from the cross surmounting the big squat cupola to the foundations. The government has done its level best to surround the new undertaking with all possible secrecy, Americans have scarcely heard of its exist- ence. One of its architects said to your cow respondent: othing much has been published, al- though we are erecting oune of the largest buildings in the world. 1t is as big as the capitol at Washington. The fach is, publi- cation of details has been oficially forbidden. No English or Americans have been here to view the place. Iam afraid that in this ro- spect both the goveroment and architect are to blame, We Giermaus haveno knack of ndvertising ourselves. 'This modesty is a well fixed rule and Lides completely every thing that is high iu art, and yet, in her way, Germany stands second 0 none in in- dusirial genius.” Not Sightiy I Form or Place. The site chosen, Koenigsplatz, by the fa- mous Victory column in the Thiergarten, is just the worsi that could have been chosen. Berlin does uot seem to own her new toy, and has thrown it like some beautiful but spurned thiog outside ber boundaries, From whatever side 1t is spproached it is far from appearing impressive, Trees bide it on nearly every aide.. It ik eompact and con- centrated where itshould have been diffuse. Its lines are unbroken exeept by unwieldly corner towers that dwarf the wa. Its im- mense cupola seems to press down on it like some tyrant monster, threatening to crush and flatten it under s weight. Its noble walls abut right 6n a narrow street on the east, and dignifida statues have perforce to hobnob with facto: chimneys and feel themselves exposed to the temptations of nursemaids ogling them through dwelling house windows.. For such a locked-in posi- tion the only romedy was to raise the build- ing on some artificial mouna. That, however, wasnot done, and, as 1f not content with making the one fatal mistake, the effect has been spoiled by letting the cupola into the roof flat instead of raising it toa height commensurate with the proportions of the building.

VICTORY FOR PEIXOTO. He Captures an Important Strategio Posi- tion in the Harbor of Rio, Loxvoy, Dec. 18.—The Brazilian legation in this city has a telegram from Rio dated, today, December 16, saying that the govern- ment troops have recaptured Governor's and from the insurgents. It is added at the legation that this 1s considered a most important victory for Peixoto, owing to the stragetic position which the island occupies. The Brazilian legation today makes a further important announce- ment that the commanders of the American and German warshins have declared they will protect forefgn interests and that they will not recognize any blockade of Rio de Janeiro which may be established by the in- surgents, to whom the quality of belligerents has been refused by all foreign nations. 1t is belicved here, aftgr the determined stand taken by the Amdrican and German com- manders at Rfo, that American and German ships may be sent to Santos in order to practically reduce the'ulockade of that port.

TLoxnox, Dec. 16.—A correspondent of the Times at St. Petersbjirg says: - The poitcy of “Russia for the Russiaus” was never more strikingly 1llustrated than by a decision of o special commission, domprising the governor of the state banks, l?c director of the trade department, the minister of finance ana other officials, that henceforth the state bauks shall discountno bill for foreign sub- jec's unless special permission has been ob- tained from the mipister of finance. The reason given for tha decision is that the state banks should develop entire Russian trade and industry, apd the fact is men- tioned that the foreign bills discounted in the month of November amounted to 25,000, 000 roubles. Tue price of wheat and other cerecals is so high in Russian Turkestan that a famine exists.

Loxvox, Dec. [New York World Cable —Special to Tk Bek|—The event of the week in London which is of the most im- portance to the United States was the bill practically adopted in Parliament last Tues- day authorizing the Indian government to borrow £50,000,000 to meet maturing obligas tions between now and March, The im- portance of this to the United States lies in the frank admission that so far, at least, the experiment of closing the Indian mints 10 the free coinage of silver has completely failed to achieve what that closing w meant to achieve, that is the maintaining of the value of therupce. The London morning Jjournals of both parties and the weekly tinancial newspapers published today unite in declaring that the situation in India is most critival, and the Manchester Guardian, rep- rgsenting the vast Lancashire intercsts, very bluntly intimates that if President Cleveland resummons the conference for establishing an international agreement, as he asks in his message for power to do, England must be prepared to assume a much more complaisant attitude than at Brussels. tia Almost Bankrupt, The present situation in India may be briefly stated thus: The Indian government holds at home a large amount of silver to pay gold debts in England. To pay these debts now in silver at present prices would 1 a loss which, as the Times says, would be “so large as would cause the most serious financial embarrassment.” There- fore India is obliged to borrow enough to tide over the present emergency, hoping for a radical improvement in Indian affairs or the appreciation in valus of silver before the new debt falls due, Al the financial papers today express dis- belief that either of these conditions is to be noped forand ey agree with the Man- chester Guardian in admitting the solution .must be found in an international agree- ment. Supports a Silver Standard, The Guardiar, summing up its argument, intiates that this solution must be speedily adopted. “The Indian, the American and the British governments” it says, “‘have the ability in themselves alone and unaided by any power to solve the problem once for all, and to dictate the monetary system of ‘the world. Both the Indian and the United Sta.cs governments desire the bimetallic solution ‘vhich has been advocated by ail the ablest finance ministers of India, is ap- proved by scientific economists throuzhout the world, and by an increasing number of thie most responsible capitalists, bankers and financiers in London and has been declared feasible and desirable by the majority of a royal commission appuinted to investigato the question,” Mr. Astor in Nowlse Disturbed. Mr. Astor promptly accepted service in the libel suit of the Mobile & Dauphin Island railroad, and through solicitors as promptly secured Sir Edward Clarke a counsel. In discussing the suit, already fully described in these dispatches, Mr Astor said that he is rather amused at the importance given to the action, which he thinks not likely to ever be brought to trial. In any event, he has no intention of being “bluffed.” He understood, he said, that the articles in the Pall Mall Gazette killed the scheme. Hedid not suppose the Gazette could have accomplished such a feat 1 iv not told the truth and nothing but the truth. Interest in tho Bye-Election. The possible result of the election in the borough of Accrington, described last week, grows daily in importance. If the liberal candidate comes in with a largely increased majority it is the best opinion that Mr, Gladstono will certainly dissolve Parlia- ment, confident that the country is with nim. If, on the other hand, the conserya tives win a victory, he will adopt Lord Sahs Dbury’s tactics in the previous Parhament and hold on until the last, The liberal can- aidate stakes everything on the issue that the Lords must be rebuked for practically killing the employers’ liability bill, but at the same time declares as firm adhesion to home rule as when he was clected June, 1802, The election occurs next Thursday, but the borough is very large, and tne result probably will not be known before Friday, Capital for Mr, Stead’s Puper, Mr, Stead, now in America, has got his £100,000 for a new London daily paper., His scheme was that 100,000 people should sub- scribe a year in advance, he giving them a £1 share in addition, dependent on profits, and that he should have the right to buy out the subscribers at par when any part of it was made. This scheme, however, did not work, as the number of people prepared to enable Mr., Stead o make his fortune with their money was very small indeed. But, according to a story as told today, an American press maker, who is anxious to in- woduce his presses in London with a big ad- vertisement, hus entered into an engagement with Mr, Stead under which he is to supply the necessary funds for the enterprise, Captaly O'shea's Bankruptey, A creditor of Captain O'Shea has this week made & move to force him into bank- ruptey, but as the proceedings were ad Journed it is possible he raised the funds necessary o settie the claim, A friend says he met Mrs. Parnell walking in the streets of Brighton a few days ago, still wearing the deepest crape and accom- panied by the two red setters which were such favorites of ber husband, It is a curious fact that Captain O'Shea also lives at Brighton, Left the Prince ‘While the princess of Wales is recovering from an attack of influenza it has left her completely deaf.

Here's o Parisian Sult, In the fifth civil chamber of Paris on Thursday -Baron de Merci sued Vicomtessa Gouffroy d'Albans for the payment of a promissory note for 10,000 francs which she had given him. Great interest was taken m the case, because the vicomtesse is o distine guished beautiful demimondaine, Her title is authentic. She resisted the claim on the ground that the baron had obtained the money by speculating on her affection for nim. The baron isa small landed propries tor of Loire. His lawyer said that the baron had been a lover of tha vicomtesse; that his passion had cost him 150,000 franes, and that in 1800 the woman was arresved on charge of swindling a rich manufacturer of Lyons named Belon; that by giving up all his ready money and varis ous securitics the baron induced Belon to withdraw from the prosceution, and that while under arrest the vicomtesse gave him the note for 10,000 franes to indemnify him, She Has A er Story, The vicomtesse's advocate told another story. It was this: She met the baron in 1888, He was poor. His letters to her were either avowals of burning passion or plaints of financial embavrassment. In 1800. .being greatly in need of money, the vicomtessa went to Lyons and fascinated the rich man named Belou, whose happiness lasted a month and cost him 50,000 francs, Then he grew tired and shortly afterward made ave tempts yto get back his money, He preferred charges of swindling and espionage against her and while in prison she gave the baron the note for 10,000 francs, Idence Didn't Sustain the Charge, There was no evidence that the baron paid Belon money or gave him anything else, The charge of swindling at once fell through, but that of espionage was sus tained by a package of German letters found at the vicomtesse's residence. Tie vie comtesse's advocate handed the letters to the president of the court. They were written to a member of the German general staff at Berlin. The judge read them and blushed, but not from a sense of wounded patriotism. They dealt in no way with political or military matte The charge of espionage, the lawyer added, was nos more serious than the other. Further hears ing of the case was adjourned until Saturday week. s CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS, Rallros de njured, A passenger and board Air Line mes in a head-end collision at o bridge at Comer The freight nad orders to sidetrack for twotrains, The conductor and the orders and pulled e injured are: FikemAN Syitu, vibs broken and left leg sprained, ATLANTA, Ga., Deo, 16, freight traiu on the & this morning. engineer overlooked out from Comer, T 1INGINE G J.
