KAISER IN 4 RAGE.
German Emperor Angered over the
Prevarication Of the Lon
don Press.

Berlin, Jan. 16.-From Germany's
point of view, as taken from the Berlin
papers, the Transvaal dispute is now
more serious than ever. The rage Of the
press and of the government, including
the Kaiser himself. knows no bounds.
and all because Of what is here termed
the willful prevarication Of the London
papers. 1t is well understood here that
the German government has not retract-
ed step from the position taken at
the beginning OF the Transvaal trouble.
To the contrary, it is impossible to mis-
take the utterances Of the combined
press and the declaration that the Ger
man government must stand upon the
ground it knows to be right and not be
moved by news OF English flying squad
rons."
The official journals, which are be-
lieved to have been inspired are out
with faring headlines denouncing the
British government and the British press
as prevaricators and declaring that the
Kaisers position has in no manner been
changed.
He is said to be in a terrible rage over
the attacks of the London newspapers.
1t is announced with authority that the
Emperor will insist upon an immediate
and authoritative denial by the Salisbury
government OIL the dlleSDu ldlSGHOOuS
concerning the Kaiser uttered by the
London press. No one in Berlin believes
that the British cabinet will grant this
demand, and for that reason the change
in the situation is thought alarming.
Those who have all along advocated
an aggressive policy regarding the col
onies now see favorable opportunity to
secure change in the Reichstag. Bills
have been prepared and will be at once
introduced into the Reichstag for the
permanent establishment of a marine
station in East Africa. The German
navy will be greatly increased and i'm
proved.
1t is understood that those who draw
their inspiration from Prince Bismarck
will lend all their sympathy and influ-
ence to every effort made to build up the
navy of the empire. Of course, it would
be useless at this time to attempt to
meet England Oh even terms on the seas,
but the present opportunity will not be
neglected, and it matters not what the
outcome of the present dispute may be,
it will certainly result in the addition Of
many battleships to the German navy.

San Francisco, CAL, Jan. 16.-The
steamer Mariposa arrived from Apia this
morning bringing news of an uprising
of the business men of Samoa against
President Schmidt Business being dull
at Samoa, the people, as they do every
where criticised the government The
situation had been talked over by several
leading merchants, and it being ascer-
tanned that So per cent. of all municipal
and governmental revenues were being
paid out in salaries, meetings were held
by the prominent business men and resO-
buttons were unanimously adopted ask
ing the treaty powers to recall
President Schmidt and allow their
representatives, the three consuls, to
take the office. The council, after much
talk endorsed this resolution and the
committee obtained a sufficient number
of signatures of councillors to demand
the President to cali Il special meeting
to receive the resignation and issue a
writ for a new election. Unfortunately
for the people an error was made IN the
date for the meeting, as the request was
made for Tuesday, December %, when it
should have been the Oath. The Presi-
dents perception was acute enough to
detect the error and he replied asking
which was the date intended and has in
the meantime taken a weeks holiday.
SO the matter stands, but the people are
in earnest and even if force is necessary
will make a change in the existing order
of things.

London. Jan. I6.-The st. James Ca
zette, commenting this afternoon upon
the speech which the first lord of the
treasury, the RI Hon. A. J. Balfour,
made in Manchester last night, says:
''Mr. Balfour does not give encourage
ment to the Diplomatic amateurs who are
trying to get the Americans to believe
that they are wrong and will end by
knuckling down. Those who have been
led to believe that the Marquis of Sails
bury intends to apply to Washington,
asking it to be good enough to arbltrate
or conciliate, are mistaken and we sin
cereIy hope that they have not been able
to lead American opinion to share their
error, otherwise the results may be calam-
itous. There is an increasing DISPOSE
ton both in London and Washing
ton to believe that the dispute can be
arranged with negotiations between
the only genuine parties thereto, Great
Britain and Venezuela. We have no
quarrel with the old Monroeism; but it
the Senate insists upon setting up 4 new
Monroeism which will render the United
States absolute arbitrator of the affairs
of the continent of which Great Britain
owns one-third, we certainly cannot
avert the consequences by yielding.
The issue, peace or war, lies with the
Americans. Nobody in England mas dis
covered patent method to escape the
danger of a conflict unless the -Ameri-
cans are anxious and willing to avert
it,
The Globe takes the same view of the
arbitration propositions and asks: How
could a court be constituted whose de-
cisions would be sure to command equal
respect from both sides? To this day
the Americans have not carried out the
Behring sea award and the arbitrators
have no means of enforcing it,"
