The Importance' of yesterday's debate In the relchstag cen ters on Count Herbert Bismarck s unex pected coming to the front a one of the leaders of the conservative party. .A.grianp selected him to be the cham pion solely on account of the welRilt ol his historic name, and although his argument raised' no point not already covered by the opponents of the com mercial treaties, yet the trenchant vigor of Count. Herbert Blsmarek'B language was In such striking contrast to his former parliamentary style that even his friends were surprised and de lighted, and conservatives, abandoning the attitude of reserve displayed tow ards him since his father's dismissal from office, applauded vociferously The count quoted the pamphlet Of the archbishop of Dublin In arguing' that unless that the currency question was settled the , peasantry would become bankrupt; he defended the farmers' union as' having prevented many dis contented rural voters from going over to the social democrats, and Implored the government to remember that mor than twenty million persons In Ger many were more or. less dependent on agriculture for a livelihood. Contlmi' lng, the count pointed out the case of England, where he .claimed agriculture was practically ruined, and the country depended upqn foreign supplies. Herr Richter closed the debate with vigorous defense of the government against the conservative attacks, lllu trating with bitter sarcasm the prlncl pies and character of the'Asrlan agl tatlon, and ridiculed the Idea of pie Renting England as a lost country Richter, during his speech, said:.,. "And If In their "patriotism they Vre "willing to make a large naval outlay, they owe thelf ability to do Bo to a free trade policy. 'yVel on the other hand, have so much difficulty in covering the? cost of the army bill because our prosperity Is retarded by a protective policy." Caprlvl is of the opinion that the present legislation IB sufficient to deal with the anarchists, and ro initiative steps are expected from Germany. The Berlin adherents of the party are very down hearted, as every individual le- T longing to It Is well known and contin ually shadowed by the police. - -Every speaker Indulging In exciting language at meetings is promptly' "sent up." Quite a number are already In prison, and others are awaiting trial. They will soon find It too hot for them' "here, and as no. other states In Europe will let them pass their frontier they will at least try to go to America, where an Invasion of this character may be look ed for. fromUhe United States. At first Can nda attempted to open trade, with the west indies, and one of the Canadian ministers, Foster, went to the Indies to negotiate for a uew trade. At th name time attention, was given io ex tending Canada's trade in the lueifie. The Canadian Pacliic line of steamers from Victoria to Australia pass Hawaii, ro that a trade could readily be estab lished. Moreover,' the' Canadian Pa cific steamers are part of the Canadian Pacific transcontinental road, and the (tcquisition of Hawaii would not only help Canada's trade, but also complete the military chain which Great Brit ain' has thrown about the United State." , There Is nothing to indicate that the president's Hawaiian message is yet completed. , it is suggested that the president . may delay . until he hears from Honolulu after the arrival of the Corwln. This would Involve a long v alt, The Corwln was not due at Hon olulu until December 14. The state department officials today are busy pi llaring a quantity of new material, on what subject could not be learned. after tbre hc,ur'. further cliseu'ssioli'on Monday.

THE HAWAIIAN AFFAIR. Cleveland's t'lltmatum Expected Short ly In Honolulu. . Honolulu, Dec. 9. Although the situ ation Is not 'virtually changed, beverul mattem of more or ' less Importance nave transpired. On November 29th President Dole addressed a note to Minister Willis In which it waa stutcd that the provisional government hnd received notice from Minister Thurs ton of Secretary Gresham's letter. The provisional government wished to l.i julre, first, if It whs correct, and, if so, Intimated thRt.it was due them to be inforn.ed what were the intentions of the United States in 'relation- to these recommendations of the secretary of Ktate. On December 2d a reply was re ceived by President Dole, ' In which Minister Willis stated In substance that he considered the letter of Secretary Gresham a domestic matter wlth'whlch he (Willis) had nothing to do. It was 1 1s opinion, rowever, that . President Cleveland would decide to furnish defi nite Information and Instructions as xn as he had recelvpd rpHnln nil. vices which had already been trans mitted to him. President Dole said to f n Associated Press representative this morning that Mr. Bowell assured the government that both the Canadian government and the . people .were an xious to enter into political relations with Hawaii, and that he hoped nego tiations In that direction would find the favor and support of England if necessary, . . Boston, .Dec. 16. Ex-Mlnlster John h. Stevens spoke on the Hawaiian ques tion this afternoon before the Middle sex :e!ub, a republican organization. "For more than, sixty years," he said, all great statesmen had seen the great eommtrclal value of the Hawaiian Is lands to the United States Only pig mies among our publlo men asserted'a counter proposition. Many now living will see the day when Northern Pacific waters will be ploughed by a nation bf 556,000. Americans.,' The" islands are kt the cros3 roads, and constitute an in dispensable coaling and feeding station which can be. made. impregnable. The influence of the reign of Kalakaua and Liilluokalanl was .corrupt and demoral uing, The restoration of the queen would throw the nations again .under the political influence of men who have been a cui-se to the islands for the last twentyrfive years. It would be a pub lic, crime, i Blflunt pretended to accom plish In a few days all that I took years to Investigate,, and every one acquaint ed .with the people of the islands scjes how-one-sided Blount's report is.". Slo vens closed by expressing the hope that the : day 1 was not far distant , when Americans' patriotism will be strong enough' iiv Washington to prevent party politics from crippling our foreign iol Icy; when we shull show a united front to foreign rivals, and stand grand and Invinolble before the entire world.
