BEHMN , Dec. 10. The importance of yes
terday's debate In the Hcfchstag centered
on Count Herbert Bismarck's unexpected
coming to the front ns one of the leaders of
the conservative party. The agrarians
selected hlm.to bo their champion solely on
account of the weight of his historic name ;
and although his arguments raised no point
not already covered by the opponents of the
commercial treaties , and , in fact , as Herr
Hlchter pertinently remarked , the whole
speech was couched in such general terms
that it would suit any commercial treaty ,
yet 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 rcservo displayed toward
him since his father's dismissal from
ofllco , applauded him vociferously.
Count IH-rhcrt us n Ilinuilnllist.
During the course of his remarks Count
Herbert Bismarck said that the treaties
were calculated to undo the great work of
1870 and ISSl , through the measures for the
protection of national products and industry
which his father carried through , and
showed himself in a now light aa a convert
to bimetallism. The count quoted a pam-
ph'lct of the archbishop of Dublin in arguing
tlmt 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 in Germany were more or
less dependent on agriculture for a liveli
hood.
Continulngthocount pointed to the case of
EntrlanU. where , ho claimed , agriculture was
practically ruined and the country depended
upon foreign supplies. This , ho said , was
the cause of the naval panic and quoted
Cobdon'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 bo compelled to accept peace at
any price within eight days. Such was the
consequence , the count concluded , of allow
ing national agriculture to wither.
Though Count Herbert Bismarck docs not
Inherit his father's mental gifts , ho now
stands ou a level with the foremost leaders
of the conservative party , which is rather
weak In statesmanlike qualities , and ho may
attain a leading position in the councils of
the party.
Itlchtor'b Vigorous Kepty.
The agrarians , smarting under their de
feat during the Houmanla 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 Ulchter closed the ilobato with a vigor-
otis defense of the government against the
conservative attacks , Illustrating , with bit
ter sarcasm , the principles and character of
agrarian agitation , and ridiculed the idea of
presenting England as n lost country. Herr
lUchtcr , during his snscch , said : "And if ,
in their patriotism , they arc willing to make
n largo naval outlay , they owe their ability
to do so to tncir free trade policy.Vo , on
the other hand , have so much dinleulty in
covering the cost of the army bill because
our prosperity Is retarded by the protection
policy. "
Herr lUchtcr then attacked Count Bls-
marcir , whoso election ho described us being
duo to the illegitimate influence of the local
authorities , claiming ho was only elected by
n majority of0 and that a petition against
his election lay before the house. Then , in
n peroration which caused a stormy scene ,
Herr Hlchter declared that no Gorman gov
ernment ever received such treatment from
the conservatives. Honest opposition , Herr
Hlchter continued , could not be censured ,
but when the government had been led to
bcllovo that it was entitled to the support
of a certain party in concluding the treaties
nnd was suddenly deserted , from tactical or
other considerations , It was the prostlgo of
Uormaiiy which suffered ,
"Wo , therefore , on the left side of the
house , " exclaimed Herr KlelUcr , ' 'must
close up , shoulder to shoulder , as a grout
party in order to protect the authority of the
state against undermining attempts which
originate in the conservative party.1
ItiiMluii TrentXrxt. .
It will bo Interesting to watch what will
bo the next move of the discomfited
agrarians , The passage of the treaties bus
paved the way for the adoption of the
Kusslnn treaty , and whllo nothing can bo
assured with certainty , these In a position
to Judge best bcllovo the majority for the
Husslan treaty will bo oven a llttla larger
than for the Roumanian treaty , because a
number of its opponents declared that after
the passage of the latter it would bo sense
less to oppose the Hussinn treaty.
Chancellor von Caprlvl did not explain
fully the meaning of his words in the closing
speech on the Roumanian treatj , stating the
government would not accept the responsi
bility of its rejection. Homo people are in
clined to think ho threatened a dissolution
of the Kelchstag , Hut the Associated press
is assured a perfect chance In the policy of
the government ( namely , a bitter light
niralnst the conservatives ) would have been
the consequence.
In congratulating Chancellor vnn Caprlvi
nnd Baron Mursohall von Bolberstcln , the
secretary of state { or foreign affairs , the
emperor could uot overlook the fact that vic
tory was duo to tho-\-otesof social democrats
nnd radicals of all shades , Uuclphs , Poles
and advanced national Hoerals , these clo.
mcnls who Tor years have suffered under the
reproach of being enemies of the empire.
The radical papers state that a dissolu
tion would have been in tnoir interest , for
In some parts of the cmplro the conscrvo *
tlvcs would Imo been swept away in now
elections held upon the Issue of the treaties ,
but they were satisfied an appeal to the
voters should bo prevented , as it would glvo
their own Germany ngtiln Into n 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 Husslan treaty ,
rrrp.ircd for tlio AimrchUt * ,
It is fully confirmed that Chancellor von
Caprlvl Is of the opinion that the present
legislation Is sufllclcnt to deal with all an
archists and no initiative steps are expected
from Germany. The Berlin adherents
of the party are very downhearted ,
ns 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 already In prison
nnd others are awaiting trial. They will
soon find it too hot for them here , and as
other states of Europe will not lot them pass
the frontier they will nt last trto , go to
America , where Invasions of this character
may bo looked for.
During the debate on the estimates of the
ministry of the Interior in the Bavarian
lower chamber today a discussion arose on
the question of the growing socialist agita
tion. The minister of the interior declared
only strong reserve measures would bo of
any avail in repressing the socialists , whom
the government would combat so far ns the
law permitted. The socialists , however , t.ho
minister concluded , had nothing to fear
while they obeyed the law.
> Mny Pardon the Splcn.
It Is thought certain the emperor will
shortly pardon the Lelpsic spies and have
them sent back tn Franco. This is generally
done when the spies nro ofllcers and when it
is believed they were acting under orders
nnd 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 nnd owning up to their
ranks will bo considered. Had they con
tinued to refuse to own up they would have
been made to servo their time , which was
today fixed upon as six years for Degong and
four years for Delgay , not at hard labor , as
the public prosecutor demanded , but of de
tention in a fortress. It will bo recalled
that the public prosecutor asked that a term
of five years of imprisonment nt hard labor
bo imposed upon Dceong and four years
upon Delgay ; thus the judge today Increased
the length of the senior French oftlcer's im-
m-isonmont by one -year and altered the
nature of the detention of both of the con
victed spies.
Kxport I'rcmlnm on Sugtr. :
The news circulated by the Polischo
Nachrichtcn , and reprinted by the Nerd
Deutsche Xeitung , regarding the intention
of the government to continue the export
premium ou sugar after January , 1805which
date is tixcd by law for the commencement
of lowcrim ; the- premium , which will
bo stripped off entirely after Jan
uary , 1807 , is not based upon any
government action , but is probably
based on reports sent out by the sugar in
terest with the view to discover whether
the government contemplates any now de
parture. It is supposed the next few days
will clear the matter up and that some ofll-
clal announcement of the government's in
tention will be made.
.Postmaster Stephan has just consented to
the opening up of telephone communication
between Cologne and Aix-la-Chuppello and
Brussels and Liege. This is a now 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 western frontier has been refused for
obvious reasons. slt now seems there is no
dancer to be anticipated from a misuse , in a
political sense , of the telephone lines cross
ing the frontier.
The reported Illness of the crown prince

BuiiLiN , Dec. 10. [ Now York World Cable
Special to THE Bcn.l The alleged differ
ences of opinion between the emperor and
Chancellor Caprlvl are forming the subject
of comment In various quarters. The
Mucnchcuci * Xeltung , Bismarck's chief
organ , is particularly busy making capital
out ot the annoyance said to have been
caused to the emperor by the postponement
of the Wurtomburg maneuvers , and
it hangs on this peg n long discussion
about the military and civil condition of
Wurlcmburg , where , that journal states ,
not the government , but the democracy is
reigning. Caprivi is blamed for the present
developments , because ho 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 Cnprlvl's knowledge or
advice , knowing that the count , who is the
Prussian minister of foreign affairs , as well
as the imperial chancellor , was opposed to
Bronsart's appointment.
llesnlt of a Duel.
Lieutenant Baron Lucius , son of n former
minister of agriculture , has just entered the
Second Guard regiment of hussars as a pri
vate , with the Imperial consent. Ho re
signed his commission after lighting a sabre
duel and underwent three months confine
ment in a fortress. Ho will regain his
former rank in a few months timo. This is
ample proof that imprisonment for dueling
leaves no staig on honor and is no disquali
fication in any walk of life.
The emperor beat Iho record in shooting
last week at Barby. During two hours he
shot 1135 hares , or over two per minute. Ho
used six guns. This is the more remarkable
because ho can only use ono arm.
Scienceon u JVcw Tack.
A prize competition has been started by
the I loyal Scientirio society of Gocttinger
for investigating the contents of the hollow
parts of the skull , chest , abdomen and back
of newly born children , in comparison
with those of adults , thus establishing the
gradual formation from the former to the
latter.
The German exhibit of engineering at Chicago
cage will bo displayed in Berlin as an exhi
bition by itself next summer. This is largely
duo to the unqualified praise bestowed on It
by the American press and public.
Will lluvn a New Mc-ctinc Ktacr.
Few more Reichstags will meet in the
old sombre cray square building of severely
Prussian architecture in the Leipslper
strnssc. The mildewed and fossilized struc
ture will see its last days as a aonatorial
house iroxt ynar. It belongs to a past order
of things and must give way to the "new
course. " It is played out. People said so
eng before Bismarck's voice ceased to bo
icard within its walls. It cannot expand as
oung United Germany has expanded. From
ho street It looks like an , antiquated insur
ance ofllco. No store window displays u
) icturo of Germany's great history of manu-
'aotory. There is something too undignilicd
about a plain , two-story , tiled gable roof
juildlng for a modern day camera with any
degree of self-respect. The Helchstaghaus
s crushed and wedged in between by two
ilgh buildings and faced by thriving stores.
It is Inferior in its architectural effect to any
modern dwelling house in the capital.
Urmit In Associations ,
Only in Us memories and Its associations
docs it rise above all that has been , and
[ irobably will be , In the history of the em
pire. In its unpretentious assembly hall
liavo stood inrco German emperors. There
lias come the greatest diplomatist in the
century to meet his enemies nnd confound
them. There has been seen the ascetic-
featured Moltko. It was hero that the iron
chancellor on that memorable 1'Jth of July
announced that Franco had thrown down
tne gauntlet against Prussia.
But the giants of these days where are
they now ? All gone ; nil. Ono dismissed
by an imperial master , the rest called away
by a jjrim and more imperious summons.
Tho' memories of the past that linger in the
old Kcichstaghaus are In the bond of union
that has been made , tha Gorman people
what they are today , They will lot the
building In which that union made live out
its mellow old days alone , untouched , Amid
the now generation that has sprung up It Is
antiquated out of place.
Now llulltlln ? Almost Completed ,
The now building was commenced In 1831
and will bo opened by the emperor next
ynar , The scaffolding was taken down a
few weeks ago , But long before that people
said It was -huge architectural mistake
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. Ono of its architects said tp your cor
respondent :
"Nothing much has been published , al
though wo are erecting ono of the largest
buildings in the world. It is as big as the
capitol nl Washington. The fuel } s , publi
cation of details has been oniclully forbidden.
No English or Americans have bocn here to
view the place. I am afraid that in this ro-
sped' both the government and architect
are to blumo. Wo Germans have no knack
of advertising ourselves. 'This modesty is a
well fixed rule and hides completely every
thing that is high iu art , and yet , in her
way , Germany stands secor.d to none in In
dustrial genius. "
Not l ) itlf In Form or 1'Jacc.
The site chosen , Koonigsplatz , by the fa
mous Victory column In the Thlerpartcn , is
Just the worst that could have been chosen.
Berlin docs not seem to own her now toy ,
and has thrown It liUo some beautiful but
spurned thlug ouuldo her boundaries. From
whatever side it is approached It is far
from appearing inirrcssltel Trees hide it on
nearly every aide. ! It Ih compact anil con
centrated where It should have been diffuse.
Its lines are unbroken cx'ctpt ' by unwleldly
corner towers thai dwarf the walls. Its immense -
monso cupola seems to press down on It like
some tyrant monster , threatening to crush
and flatten It tinder its weight. Its noble
walls abut right on n narrow street on the
cast , nnd dlgnitlcVl statue * have perforce to
hobnob with factory 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 remedy was to raise the build
ing on some artificial mound. That , however ,
was not done , and , as if not lontcnt with
making the ono fatn.1 mistake , the effect has
been spoiled by letting the cupola Into thereof
roof flat Instead" of raising it to n height
commensurate with the proportions of the
building.

LONDONDee. . 10. ( New York World Cable
Special to Tin : Bisr. . ] I'lio uvent of tlio
week in London which la 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 obliga
tions between now and March. The im
portance of this to the United States lies In
the frank admission that so fur , at least ,
the experiment of closing the Indian mints
to the Iroo coinage of silver has completely
failed to ni-hiovo what that closing was
meant to achieve , that is the maintaining of
the value of the rupee. The London morning
journals of both parties and the weekly
iinanclal newspapers published today unite in
declaring that the situation in India in most
critical , uud the Manchester Guardian , representing -
resenting 1110 vast Lancashire interests ,
very bluntly intimates that if President
Cleveland rcsutriinons the conference for
establishing an international agreement , as
ho aslcs in his message for power to do ,
England must bo prepared to assume a much
inoro complaisant attitude than at Brussels.
India Almost JtimUrupt ,
The present situation in India may bo
briefly stated thus : The Indian government
holds at homo a large amount of silver to
pay gold debts in England. To pay these
UcUts now in silver fit present prices would
entail a loss which , as the Times says ,
would bo "so largo as would cause the most
serious linancial 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 value of silver before
the r.ow debt falls duo.
All the financial papers today express dis
belief that either of these conditions is tp bo
hoped for and they agree with the Man
chester Guardian in admitting the solution
must bo found in an international agree
Supports a Silver Standard. *
The Guardian , summing up its argument ,
Intimates that this solution must bo speedily
. ' 'Tiio Indian the
adopted. , American and
the. British governments" it sajs , "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.ts governments desire the bimetallic
solution -vhieh has been advocated by all
the ablest finance ministers of India , is ap

Sir. Astor InNowise Disturbed ,
Mr. Astor promptly accepted service in
, ho libel suit of the Mobile & Dauphin
island railroad , ana through solicitors as
promptly secured Sir Edward Clarke as
counsel. In discussing the suit , already
'ully described in these dispatches , Mr.
A.stor said that ho is rather nmused at the
mportance given to the action , which ho
thinks not likely to ever be brought to trial.
In any event , he has no intention of being
bluffed. " lie understood , ho said , that the
articles In ttio Pall Mall Gazette killed the
scheme. Ho did not suppose the Gazette
could have accomplished such a feat had it
not told the truth and nothing but the
truth.
Interest In tlio Ilyo-Kloctlon.
The possible result of the election in the
borough of Aecrington , described last week ,
grows daily in Importance. If the liberal
candidate comes in with a largely increased
majority it is the best opinion that JV.r.
Gladstone will certainly dissolve Parlia
ment , confident that the country is with
film. If , on the other hand , the conserva
tives win a victory , ho will adopt Lord Salis
bury's tactics in the previous Parliament
and hold on until the last. The liberal candidate
didato stakes everything on the Issue that
the Lords must be rebuked for practically
hilling tlio employers' liability bill , but at
the same time declares as firm adhesion to
homo rule as when ho was elected In Juno ,
ISlKi. The election occurs next Thursday ,
but the borough is very largo , and tno result
probably will not bo known before Friday.
Cnpltul fur Air. Stead'r ) Paper.
Ar. ! Stead , now in America , has pot his
100,000 for a now London daily paper. His
bchcino was that 100,000 people should sub
scribe a year in advance , ho giving them a
1 share in addition , dependent on profit :
and that ho should huvo 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 to make his fortune
with their money was very small indeed.
But , according to a story as told today , an
American press ma leer , who is anxious to in
troduce his presses in London with n big ad
vertisement , has entered Into an engagement
with Mr. Stead under which ho is to supply
the necessary funds for the enterprise.
Cuptnln O'nlieu'a lunlrupU-y ,
A creditor of Captain O'.Shoa hnb this

journed it is possible ho raised the funds
necessary to settle the claim.
A friend says ho met Mrs. Parnell walking
iu the streets of U right on a few days ago ,
still wearing the deepest crape' and accom
panied by the two red setters which wore
such favorites of her husband , It Is a
curious fact that Captain O'Shoa also lives

IleruN u 1'iirlsliin Suit.
In the fifth civil chamber of Paris on
Thursday -Baron do Merch sued Vicomtesso
GoufCroy d'Albans for the payment of a
promissory note for 10,000 francs whicn she
had given him. Great interest was taken in
the ease , because the vlcomtesso is n distin
guished beautiful dcmimomlnine. Hcr.tltlo
is authentic. She resisted the claim on'tho
ground that the baron had obtained the
money by speculating on her afTeiition for
him. The baron is a small landed proprie
tor of Loire. His lawyer said that
the baron had been n lover of the
vicomtcsso ; that his passion had cost him
150,000 francs , and that in 1S)0 ! ) the woman
was arrested on a charge of swindling a rich
manufacturer of Lyons named Bclon ; that
by giving up > all his ready money and varl
ous securities the baron had Induced Bclon
to withdraw from the prosecution , and that
while under arrest the vicomtcsso gave him
ho note for 10,000 francs to indemnify him.
f She lias Another Story.
The vicomtesso's advocate told another
tory. It was this : She mot the baron in
8S8. Ho was poor. Ills letters to her were
Ithor avowals of burning passion or plaints
if linancial embarrassment. In 18UO.being
jreatly In need of money , the vicomtessa
nt to Lyons and fascinated the rich man
lamed Bclon , whoso happiness lasted a
nonth anil cost him fiO,000 francs. Then ha
trow tired and shortly afterward made at-
empts ito got back his money. Ho preferred ,
charges of swindling and espionage aga'nst '
icr and while in prison she gave the baron
the note for 10,000 , francs.
ICvldonco Didn't Sustain tlio Charge.
There was no evldonco that the baron paid
iJolon money or gave him anything else.
The charge of swindling at once fell
through , out that of espionage was sus
tained by a package of German letters found
at the vlcomtosso's residence. The vl-
comtesso's ' advocate handed the letters to
.the president of the court. They were
written to a member of the Gorman general
staff at Berlin. The Judge read them nnd
blushed , but not from a sense of wounded
patriotism , They dealt In no way with
political or military matters. The chnrgo
of espionage , the lawyer added , was no !
more serious than the other. Further hear
ing of the case was adjourned until Saturday
week.
