THE MOBNING OBEG03SIAN. THUSSDAY FAKCH 16, 1905. LEANS NEITHER WAY German Chancellor Denies Par tiality in War. NOT DEPENDENT ON RUSSIA Von Buelow Gives Vigorous Answer to Socialist Attack Says Japan Never Doubted Neutrality of Germany. BERLIN. March 15. Replying to Hea ven Volmar (Socialist), who criticized the government for Its complaisant attitude toward Russia in regard to the Hale of merchant ships and the expulsion of refu gees. Chancellor von Buelow said in the Reichstag today: "Herr von Volmar, who watches foreign events with close attention, must have seen that the. French Republicans and the French Democrats still give the greatest care to the alliance between France and Russia. The English Liberals have a lively wish that good relations should exist between Russia and England, and those In other lands believe that the posi tion of Russia as a great power will con tinue beyond the Incidents of war and internal disquiet." This statement was greeted with the cries of "No, no," from the left party. Chancellor von Buelow said: "The So cial Democrats desire war with Russia. I regret to cay that they have the Inten tion to set such a conflict ablaze and cook their party soup over the flames." The chancellor read a clipping from a Socialist paper, saying that. If the Social ists controlled the government, armed forces would across the frontier and free their Russian brothers. "Von Buelow con tinued: "For the second time Herr von. "Volmar has spoken of Germany's dependence on Russia. He repeats this reproach, al though X have so often declared that we are not dependent on Russia and that we do not run after her, but that we also have no occasion to be unpleasant toward her, as many persons wish. Twenty and 40 years ago these same attacks were made on Prince Bismarck. I remember Bismarck once said in debate that he had learned from such attacks on the for eign policy how dangerous it was for persons who were not exactly Informed upon foreign questions to speak of them. I will not say today," added the chan cellor, looking toward Herr von Volmar, "to whom this might apply." Turning to the sale, of merchant ships to Russia, the chancellor said that both belligerents had bought numerous trading vessels, the private property of neutrals, The English newspapers contained fre quent announcements of the sale of such vessels to Japan. It was known also that many of the German-owned ships, espe dally those of the Hamburg-American JJne. had been sold to Russia. Such transactions by private neutrals were not prohibited by international law. When privately owned ships are transferred to Russian firms, they cannot fly the Ger man flag and their crews need not serve under the Russian flag. The German gov ernment s attitude had been perfectly cor rect. "We have been reproached by -both Fides." said the chancellor. "They say on one side that we have been" inclined toward Russia and from the other side' it is said that we desire that Russia may be weakened by a long continuance of the war. One charge, is as. unfounded as the other. Both governments know where we stand. Japan knows she can count on our strict neutrality." Von Buelow read from a recent dispatch of the German minister at Toklo, as fol lows: "The Japanese government never placed any faith In the hostile campaign against Germany. Japan knows of the intrigues that are set on foot." The Japanese foreign minister, con tinued Von Buelow, without quoting di rectly, said he had no ground for sus picion or complaint against Germany. The Russian government also knew that Ger many did not Intend to use against Rus sia the difficulties in which she was en tangled, or even make her feel uncom fortable. SEPARATION ONLY LOGICAL WAY Recommendation to French Chamber on Church and 6tate. PARIS. March 15. The report of the committee of the Chamber of Deputies upon the bill providing for the separation of church and state was distributed in th Chamber today. It elaborately pre sents the relations between the ohurch and the government since the earliest days and says: "We maintain that the sole possible so lution for the Internal difficulties grow ing out of the regime of the Concordat is a loyal and complete separation of church and state, particularly under the democ racy wherein the existing universal suf frage and sovereignty of the people make the continuation of an official religion such a defiance of logic and good sense that It seems astonishing that the French Republic continued such an equivocal regime during the last 3 years." The report says it is useless to put off the separation until after the popular election, as such a delay would be advan tageous to Rome and dangerous to France. Moreover, a popular election upon the subject would stir up the clerical agita tion. "In passing this law," continues the report, "Parliament accords the state its just due and at the same time accords the church what It has the right to ex pect. namely, full liberty to organize. I've and develop according to its moans without any restriction, save respect for the laws and public order. t WILL ASSERT NORWAY'S RIGHTS New Premier Declares His Policy on Question of Consuls. CHRISTIAN IA. March 15. The new Pre mier, P. C Mlchelson, outlined the gov ernmcnt's programme In the Storthing to da. relative to the Sweden and Norway consular system, he said the new Cabinet was formed to establish the constitutional right of Norway to a separate consular service and to preserve Norway's sover flgnty as a free and Independent king dom. We know." he said, "that we have on cur side a united Storthing and a united ptvple. The people of Norway have no greater desire than to live peacefully and on good terms with everybody, 'more es pecially with their Swedish neighbors, so that they can devote their whole strength to the developmpent of the material re sources of the country. I am fully con vlnced that theN united and unbending will of our people will accomplish the desired result." BALFOUR USES THE GUILLOTINE Enrages Opposition by Closure on Debate on Appropriations. LONDON, March 15. Premier Balfour introduced the "guillotine" In the House of Commons this afternoon, with the ob ject of securing the sanctioning of the estimates before March 3L In moving the closure of the proceedings oa supply, the Premier declared that It was necessary in order to" secure the necessary votes be- fore the close of the fiscal year.' The step taken was for the credit of the House, and not to extricate the government from difficulty. Prolonged debates delayed business, and. closuring was more in con sonance with the dignity of the House than the suspension of the 12 o'clock rule, the vision of bedraggled members of Parliament going home at 10 o clock in the morning not being calculated to raise the reputation of the House of Commons. Mr. Asqulth (Liberal) in a few caustic sentences moved the adjournment. He declared Mr. Salfours motion was a Par liamentary scandal, and the greatest out rage ever conferred by a "nominally" re sponsible Minister to a "nominally" de liberative assembly. He accused the gov ernment of mismanagement, and the Pre mier of encroaching on the powers and privileges of the House, and said the mo tion marked an epoch in the degradation of the House of Commons from & delib erative to a dependent body transformed into an automatic machine to register the will of the executive. The motion to adjourn was defeated by 265 votes to 205. Mr. Redmond moved an amendment that the House decline to sanction any pro posals for further curtailing discussion of supply. The amendment was debated up to 7:30 o'clock, when Mr. Balfour moved closure, which carried. 249 to 213. The debate on Mr. Balfour's "guillotine" motion will be resumed tomorrow.

Chancellor von Buelow, speaking In the Reichstag today on a resolution asking the government to give Alsace-Lorraine Independent repre sentation in the Bundesrath, said they, would have to seek the views of all the confederated states.

When Mrs. Chadwlck had finally regained her composure, she began a tour of the house, collecting such ar ticles as she desired to keep. She en countered Dr. Chadwlck.

"Mrs. Chadwlck selected enough cloth ing for 25 women, which. In view of the way she has squandered her creditors' money, I consider very bad taste."

Replying to her statement that she knew that he was absolutely Innocent of any charges against him. Dr. Chad wlck said: "I hope you will be able to disprove the charges against you."
