THE CHANCELLOR MADE COUNT FOR HIS Sue
CESS WITH THE COMMERCIAL TREATIES.
Berlin, Dec. Is-Emperor William while at a
dinner given this evening at Fellow near Potsdam,
in honor of the opening OF the District Hall, re-
ceived dispatch containing the information that
the Reichstag had just passed the new CONNER
cial treaties. The Emperor thereupon rose from
his seat at the table, and informed the company
Of the news that had been brought TO him. He
said This satisfactory result is due to the de-
voted labor of the Chancellor, simple, honest
Prussian general In two years he has succeeded
in becoming conversant with 6he mastering Of
problems of extreme difficulty. With rare po.
litcal insight, he has at the right moment saved
the Fatherland from evil consequences. 1t is
only natural that single individuals should make
sacrifices in order that the whole people might
reap the advantage of their achievements
The conclusion of the treaties, continued the
Emperor, was for posterity. 1t was one of the
mcst important and vital occurrences in the
history Of the Reichstag. The large majority by
which the treaties were adopted showed that the
Reichstag had recognized the farseeing political
vision of this man. and had associated itself with
him. 1t had by so acting made for itself mark
and monument in tie history of the German
Empire. Despite the suspicious and difficulties
the Chancellor and his own advisers had met
with. in many quarters, they had succeeded in
guiding the Fatherand into new paths.
Il am convinced" added the Emperor, that
not only the Fatherland but the millions of sub
jects of the other countries united with us in the
Customs League, will sooner or later bless this
day. | ask you TO drink to the health of General
Count Won Caprivi-Er Lebc Hoch'
The Emperor further said that all the nations
of the world might well envy Germany On
such occasion the people met their sovereign
as members Of one family. Their father hoped
whole Empire would feel now as ever, that he
and they belonged to one another, and that they
would recognize the old Iohenzollern motto.
Suum Cnique," as being applicable in the

with burst of loud and continued cheering by
the assembled company.
