The trouble arose over the lueston whether the Helchs- tag should congratulate Prince Dsmarck on bls birthday , a prpsHlon whIch was Intro- ilucd In the Helchstag during the afternoon. Thd debate on this question has been anticipated - patell , wih great eagerness , and when the session opened there was a very large attendance - tendance of members while the galleries were crowded with politicians. dIplomats and other prominent persons. The royal box was fled wIth personage of high rank prominent - nent among them being the grand duke of Daden. Dc fore the order of the day was taken up President yon Levlzow arose and requested the house to formally aUthorizeS S blm to congratulate Prince lsmarck on its behalf. Count yon Ilonipesch-Tturlch , a prominent member of the center party , amid loud Inter- S ruptons from Various parts ot tim house 55 and cheers from his supporters , submitted , on behalf ot the centrists , a resolution disapproving - approvIng or the proposal. Dr. von Dennlgsen , In behalf or the na- , tonal liberal party , warmly supported this request ot the presldeAt or the Relchstag. Then Richter , amid repeated protests , dc- dared that the frlesslnnlge party was unable to support the motion. In doIng so he re marked that I was "as the representative of the greatest political party" that he opposed the proposition. This statement was greeted wlh laughter. lie added : "I must , In view or the hostility which Bsmarcl1 has always diSplayed toward workingen , record my veto agaInst the proposaL" Prince Radzlwl also opposed the motion on behalf or the Poles , and Richter unionist announce thai the representatives of the .5- . rrelsslnnlge union would not support the propo- sltion. Count von Kardoff , conservative , here remarked - marked : "If lerren Richter and Singer - succeed by their remarks In dragging the resolutIon or the Helchstag to the level ot these of a Berlin municipality , they will at the same tIme mall the Relchstag forever rIdiculous. " ( Applause. ) Count von Iodeburg , on behalf or the I Cuelphlsts opposed the proposition . and , Unyphausen : and Libermann for the anti- . semites , approved It. Count van Manteurrel . conservative . declared , amid cheers from the right that the Relchstag owed Its existence to Dsmarclc , and It was Inconceivable that ! chIld should refuse to congratulate its OWI - father. The house then voted on Levitzow's propo- siton , and It was rojected-163 to 14G. YON LEVITZOW RESIGNS. The president or the ROlchstag , Immediately after the result was made known announced his resignation , whIch caused an extraordinary - nary scene , the members , ot the right rising . In n body and cheering as. they clapped their bands In approval or his action. Even the galleries expressed satisfaction In the most open and marked manner. When the excitement had subsided Levitzow exciement Levlzow again arose and formally handed over the prel- doncy ot the Relchstag to Baron yon Douel l3erenberg the senior vice president. As ho ( ld so Van Dennlgsen expressed the belief Dr. Durldln , the other vice president , who i now In Switzerland , will follow Von Lovlt- zow's examplo. The remark was loudly cheered by the members or the right. This caused Richter to remark In n sarcastic manner that even wihout Von Levlzow and Dr. Durkln the Helcflsta would still be able to continue its labors. The statement elicited loud cries or "no" from the rIght and much laughter from time members ot the left. Time house then took a minor vote on the estmates and adjourned until Tuesday next , March 20. Although It was known considerable oppo- siton existed among the members to formally - maly congratulating Prince Dsmarclc , It was not entirely expected this opposition would be carried to time extent I was. The united votes of time centrists , Poles , rrels- slnnege and members ot the yells partle . however , brou/l abut this Issue - n was stated In time lobbies or the Iteichs- tag this afternoon , that the conservatives and national liberals , who were dlssatsned with time Present composition of tIme Relchs- ! tag will , on the reassembling or the house on Tuesday , endeavor to force the govern- mont to dimuaoive. I they succe their Idea Is to go to time country , with Prince Ills. marclt's name as a rallying cry , and enlarging on tOllas affair a being an insult to time founder of tIme emiliro. The general opinion Is the moment Is not favorable to an elec. tel , and that the elections would quits probably result In a further Increase or the memberhip ot the socialist part , as the latter have lately been improving their posi- then , even In tile agricultural districts , b ) eLaborate organization. In contrast to the acton ot the elchstag , In tIme lower house ot the Prussian Dot today the centrists , Poles , trelslnnlges and social- Ists agqln united against a similar motion to congratUlate Ilmarck ) on his birthday 11 this Instance the government secured thl adoption at the proposition by a large ma. jorlty . ANNOYED Tim EMPEROR . I S The news . at the vote In the Helchltag was ' Instantly conveyed to Emperor William , whole InleOe annoyance can be judged by tIme following telegram ( , which he ImQlelltcly caused to be fent to smarc1 : "Prince Von nlmarclc , Dukoon 1.auen. berg , Irkmliiclisrulm : I have to cen\'O' to ynur serene blghnus the expression of I ) . . most profound Indignation ( at time resolution S wImih time Reichiastag baa . . whlel Iclchastag Just adopted It Is In most complete opposition to tIme feel. immi of all the Uenn:1 : Princes and Ileoillc.

The hearing was finally adjourned to await the result or time examination of the InjurIes to the steamship Crathle , now at Rotterdam. REMEMBERED DY TIE RADICALS.

Mrs. Crawford writes that on arrival the railway staten nt Nice the queen "seemCInablo to raise her head. She looked up and around and under her eyelids . as If waiting strength to look other- wise. One might have thought she did not feel her feat under imer as wih the assistance - anco or her servants she tried to descend the sloping gangway from the train Into the station. " I Is well known among those familiar with court affairs thal rheuma"I : ot the knes lies lately not only developed complete less ot power over botim but has extended toIe back and arms and that a fatal Issue Is to be feared at almost any time. The reports of the queen's condition seriously affect the par- lamentary situation. With the death or a sovereIgn Parliament Is dissolved. This contingency - tngency Is undcubtedly considered In all the present calculations. The political atmosphere - phere Is charge with sensational possibi- ties. The government organs have published thts week very evasive reports or Lord Hose- bery's Intenton to resign , but time opposition journals repeat the rumor daily. Time TImes , In a lender this week , discussed for the first time reports cabled a fortnight ago. ROSEDERY A VERY SICK MAN. S Meanwhile Rosebery Is In almost complete retirement , In ( he country and the premier- ship practically Is out or commission. Ills doctors give only the guarded opinion that ho may soon recover. The \Vorld's corre spondent learns from friends or Earl Spencer , first lord of the admiralty . who' visited him yesterday at his home , that Hosbery still Is able to get only a few Iours' sleep out or the twenty-four. and that only In the afternoon. Those who saw him al the cabinet meeting the other day say that his hair has turned quito white In consequence er his Intense sur- ferlng and continued Insomnia. or course this cannot last , and unless some relief Is soon round he will certainly resign at no distant day. There has not been an hour In time last three weeks when ho would not have done so except for the opposition of rrlends. Should the conservatives come Into power at the general election necessitated by such resignation , they probably would have a short tenure unless they could repeat their success , for the queen's death Is considered Inevitable wlt'lln a year or two al the most. Princess Beatrice , who Is now her constant companion , has of late been always present during her Interviews with the ministers , and Is recog- nlzcd In ofcial circles as practically time wIelder or all or time royal prerogatives. I Is well understood that the queen has willed this favored daughter the bulk or her sayings - i ings beloved to be $75,000,000 , together with Osboro and Balmoral both residences being the private property or the queen. The report Is current In the clubs here that the prince or Wa'es c nvlrcel row or the aupe- rlorlty ot the Aisa over the Drltann , wishes to sell his yacht and that she Is likely to go to a foreign purchaser.

Through the medium of the local governmenl board , a circular letter was addressed to the mayors or towns , and to the chairmen ot county councils , asking for Intormaton on the following - lowing points : 1.
