HERR BEB BERLIN, Dec. 11.—In the Reichstag to- , on the resumption of the debate on the estimates, Herr Bebel, the Soclalist leader, concurring in the remarks in the Reichstag yesterday of the Imperial Chancellor, Count von Bulow, as to Ger- many’'s policy in the Transvaal question, said ““We have every reason to be on friendly terms with England without thereby re- stricting our freedom. At the same time I consider England’s methods of waging war in the Transvaal as being barbarous and detestable.” Continuing, Herr Bebel frenchantly criticized the German rebuff to Mr. Kru- ger. saving that if President Loubet re ceived him Emperor William could have | done the s: For two hours Herr Be- bel bitterly criticized the general policy of the Government, and the Chamber, | which was evidently ready to touch other questions than those of the budget, fol- lowed him intently. “We are only at the beginning of a financial and economical depression,” he said. “The officlal figures show that the finances of the empire are in a horrible condition. “Emperor continued, “‘ought, least of all. to have turned his back upon Mr. Kruger, especlally after the telegram of 18%, which the Soclalists but which the Center and the whole Right approvea.” What the Imperial Chancellor had said vesterday in the Reichstag was precisely vhat he (Herr Bebel) had said in 1896, Herr Richter, the Radical leader, who spoke even more powerfully, said he had come to the conclusion from the speech of Count von Posadowsky-Wehner that the latter was not in accord with the views and promises of the Imperial Chan- cellor. After criticizing Emperor Willlam for “allowing himself on very important casion to be carried away by mome tary impulses” He instability had eign and internal 1 succinet explanations from Count von Bu- low, Count Posadowsky-Wehner, General | von Gossler and Admiral von Tiypitz as to | v a number of steps had been decided upor, such as the use of voluntary con- tributions through Emperor Willlam for building gunboats for Chinese waters without permission from the Reichstag. Count Posadowsky-Wehner in the course of a long speech, principally de- fensive, said: “I cannot admit that the Americarn President spoke about tariff retaliation as Herren Bebel and Richter have asserted, for those important prohibitions which we bave issued are minimal as against the still existing American prohibitory meas- res.’” u He went on to advise members of all parties to be careful when conducting the tarift debate not to furnish ammunition s Willlam,” he et orbier e PROBABLE ESCAPE OF DEWET.
