Reichstag Defeats Bismarck Socialists Bill in Debates
In Berlin the Reichstag rejected Bismarck's bill to expel Socialists by a large majority after a tense session. Prince Bismarck did not speak, while socialist leader Liebknecht urged protection of social democracy. Emperor William addressed the chamber, praising reforms and urging continued peace and order amid calls for further welfare measures. The Samoan treaty publication sparked U.S. and British discussions on simultaneous release. The Hamburg strike ended with wage restoration to 85 marks per month, Cassel and Fulda faced floods from heavy rainfall, and the Rhine and Main rivers rose.
