Berlin, Oct. 29.— A great sensation
bas been caused oy the allegations
that Count von I’osudowsky-Wt liner,
secretary of sta te for the interior, had
been bribed w ith 1*2,000 marks for his
w o^k in connection with the penal
servitude bill of 1898. The alli gation
is contained in a letter which is going
the rounds of the German press. The
writer asserts that Herr Krupp sub­
scribed 5,000 marks to the lund con­
stituting the alleged bribe. The Na­
tional Zeitungb says it expects that
Count von l'osudowsky-Wehner w ill
resign, aud nearly all the papers con­
demn him severely.
A special addition of the Berliner
Correspondent, which was issued by
the minister oi the interior this after­
noon, publishes a statement admitting
that Director von Wnedtke, of the im ­
perial department of the interior, in­
duced Secretary liueck, of the Central
Association of Manufacturers, to de­
vote 12,000 marks for printing reich-
stag material and other documents
tending to show arguments in favor of
passing the anti-strike bill.
This
printed material was sent to the pro­
vincial press for reproduction. The
official statement amouuta to a virtual
corroboration of the presa charges
brought against the ministry ol the in­
terior, of which Count von l ’osadowsky-
Wvliner is the head.
A ll the evening papers comment
upon the official administration. The
entire Liberal press now demands the
resignation ol Posadowsky-Wehner,
and Director von Woedtke, the assump­
tion living that the latter doubtless
acted at the suggestion of the former.
The Berliner Tagehlatt says: “ The
sole consequence of the official state
ment is that both must resign.” A
similar demand is made by the Voa-
j siche Zeitung, which remarks: “ It is
an unheard of proceeding that a govern­
ment department should request aud
receive large sums from one small sec­
tion of a population directly interested
in pending legislation for the purpose
of influencing the nation against such
legislation.”
The only papers which attempt to
1 defend the secretary of state for the in­
terior are the Berliner Post, the Kreus
Zeitung and the Berliner Nachrichten,
whose justification of his course in the
matter is weakly apoto^ .io.
