[Special to the Evening Sentinel.]
Berlin, October 2.—The Committee
on the Socialist bill commenced the sec
ond reading of that measure. Count
Von Eulenburg, Minister of the Inte

first reading appeared on the whole, ao
eeptable, but the Government wished
that some minor niteration should be
made. Members of the Court of Appeal
must be selected from the highest
Courts of Justice, and the Emperor
must have unrestricted right to appoint
its President and Vice-President. The
limitations of the operation of the law
to the period expiring on March 31st,
1881, is inadmissible. The term is much
too short. The Government preferred
that no definite limit should be im
posed. In consequence of this miniate
rial speech the committee deferred dis
cussion in order to arrive at an under
standing among themselves.

[ rations which are really direct threats
of aggression against the Ottoman em
pire. He proceeds to make counter
charges and says the Porte is daily ap

in th« field, within one month, an army
