Herr Ricbter denounced Bismarck's action in returning the resolution as an insult to the reichstag and to the United States. Chairman Hill endeavored to show that the news disseminated through the clianuels of the Associated Press was subjecto l' to censorship, but Mr. Smith denied that, anything of the sort existed. Mr. Hill cited the nonrpublication by Associated Press papers of Representative Anderson's postal telegraph speech which was deliverod in tha house on Saturday last, to show that the Associated Press agents had It in their power to suppress news Inimical to the interest of the Western Union company. Mr. Smith thought that Mr. Andersen's speech contained old material and was not of general interest, and perhaps for this reason was not generally' pnblished. Mr. Smith read telegrams from Supt Clowry, of the Western Union company, and from Mr. Somerville, of New York, showing that to carry the United Press dispatches to the Marquette editor, who was before the committee, would necessitate the use of a special wire and an additional operator, and hence could not be carried so cheaply as it "dropped" by the Associated Preis. Herr von Bcetticher declared that th* reichstag had no right to critiolse the action of tbe chance! lor of the empire. Tbe debate was very stormy. ♦- During the debate Herr Albert Haenel, of Kiel, criticised the usages of the reichstag as defective in the matter ot independent action. Baron MAltzalm denied this imputation and defended the existing rules. In replying to Herr Boethoher's remark, Dr. Braum recalled 'the fact that the Prussian house of deputies years ago adopted resolutions enlogising Richard Cobden, the emi* nent English statesman. To this Baron Maltsahu retorted that Germany could not copy Prussia. "Our orders," he added, "are decisive." He continued to insist upon the necessary limitatious of legislative action.
