DenounceAid Be- ing Extended to Russia. BERLIN, Feb. 29.—Count von Bulow, in the Reichstag to-day by saying he/ had left his sick room in obedience to a telephone call informing him that Herr | Bebel, .. the leader the | Reichstag, was going to make a “thun- | | dering speech.” This statement apparently reflects | | the importance which the Ministry at- | taches to the Socialist attack on the | Government arising from the activity | of Russian police agents in Prussia | against Russian subjects who are sus- pected of being anarchists. The discus- | sion of this mattér was resumed in the Reichstag to-day before crowded gal- leries. Herr Bebel and Herr Haas (Social Democrat) reiterated substantially the charges they made on January 19, and the Socialists offered a resolution ask- ing for the denunciation of the existing treaty of extradition between Germany and Russia. To this Herr von Kardoff, the Conservative member, replied that it would be an unfriendly act, infring- ing on neutrality, to make such a de- mand upon Russia under the existing circumstgnces. Herr Bebel read a statement made by Russian ftudents protesting against the imputatitn of Foreign Secretary Rich- thofen thkat they were anarchists, and asserted that -the Government was geing so far in its subserviency that it was undé¢rmining the honor and dignity of the cduntry. “No hplf way decent man,” he de- clared, ‘can defend the maintenance of the present treaty.” Count von Bulow asserted a second time that the activity of the Russian agents in Prussia was confined exclu- sively teward anarchist suspects. No innocent foreigners were molested in Germany. .He referred to the recent declafation by Slav students as im- pertinent and asserted, amid loud ap- plause from the Rightists, that he would like to expel such students from German}. Herr Haas said Germany’s preaent attitude toward Russia was a shame on civilization. Dr. Schoenstadt doubted the sincerity of the Socialist assurance that litera-| ture smuggled into Russia was harm- less and not of anarchist tendencies. He said the fact that documents had | been shipped about the country labeled | shoes” and that such a package was | found near Tilsit, which, the shipper | reialist in said, came from the office of the Voer- waerts. This made a singular impres- sion. Von Hnmm"rstem denled that Rus- sian agents exercised functions belong- ing: exclusively to the Prussian police. Baron von Richthoefn said: “As the United States Government has prohibited the immigration of ar- archists, we also intend to keep these people at arms’ length.” Herr Bebel recited an instance where two Russian spies were flogged in Paris upon being discovered in an assembly of Russian students. “They seemed to have no appreciation . said he, “‘for such dirty work | erated and indeed boasted of There is still so much in of the, old spirit of the lackey in the| Germarn character.” : 2 Germany.

Of course, he was obliged to turn down many of the of- ‘fers he received, and it is safe to say that he could have taken on enough work that came unsolicited to keep him busy for the next two or three ‘years. Mr. Root's prestige as a lawyer has been immeasurably enhanced by his services at Washington, and he will be able to pick.the very cream of New York's legal business.—Chicago Tri- bune. e ——————— ADVERTISEMENTS. i Col.
