Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE proceedings in the
Reichstag and Diet this week were unus-
1aIlv interesting. There was number
of significant declarations from the minis
tars and members of the Reichstag.
The maiden speech of Baron Won Buelow.
the minister for foreign affairs, has been
anproved by almost the entire press, and
the impression prevails in parliamentary
circles that vigorous foreign policy, pat
terned after Prince Bismarck, will mark
Baron Won Buelow's regime, particularly
as the Emperor has expressed entire ap-
proval of his methods
While Baron Won Buelow's references to
Kiao-Chou were enthusiastically received
by even the Leftists, passage referring
10 Crete was the important feature. He
practically announced that Germany would
not support Russia in any further compul-
sory measures in Turkey.
The utterances of Count Posadowsky,
the minister for the interior, establishes
that the government is fully determined
to support the agrarian demands much
more strongly than heretofore.
Count Won Kanitz, the extremist leader
of the agrarlans, proclaimed this fact
amidst the plaudits of the agrarians and
Rightists.
Herr Richter, Radical leader, in an in
tensely aggressive speech, said this frank
ness was an advantage. as it enabled the
people to plainly see the extent and bold
ness of the schemes.
Herr Bebel and other Socialists severe
Nv scored the government for promising its
powerful aid in Systematically raising the
price of cereals In order to enrich a small
number of big land owners.
The Vorwaerts, in a scathing article
headed Broad Usury'' takes the govern
ment and the Emperor to task for now
splitting upon the same commercial treat
les they thought the hight of wisdom a few
years ago.
The Emperor's statement in 1895 that he
could not help to make the poor mans
bread dearer, as it would be equivalent to
the worst kind of usury, is quoted and con-
trasted with his present attitude.
Count Won Kanitz also declared in the
Rechstag that it vas not contradictiVe
that there was mot the slightest chance
Of Germany agreeing to a treaty with
the United States on the basis of the pre-
vailing Dingley tariff and the ridiculous
reciprocity clauses"
The importation of Chinese coolies was
also touched upon in the Reichstag. 1t
was affirmed and denied that the impor-
tation of coolies on a large scale had been
inaugurated by land owners of East Ger
many. 1t is learned that several large
syndicates have already been formed for
their wholesale importation. One syndi-
cate composed of land owners of East
Prussia, has contracted for 1900 Shan
Tung coolies.
Letters received from Kiao-Chou show
that things are not so peaceful there as
the government processes. The Germans
have sent several expeditions into the in
terror to punish natives for outrageS upon
sentinels a outlying points and there have
been several encounters. In one case
two Chinese officers and number of their
followers were killed and village has
been destroyed and camp broken up. The
Germans sleep on their arms and fear a
sudden attack
Throughout the week there have been
great snow falls and foundations in part
OF the Sudenten Mountains which suffer-
ed so severely from foods last summer.
If the weather continues another big
catastrophe is expected.
The EmDeF0P on Thursday was TOr1aaant
at the parade of the Fifth Regiment of
the Guards at Spandau before their new
colonel, the Russian Grand Duke Con-
stantine, and his majesty created a sensa-
uon by walking up to his guest with his
drawn saber and saluting, while saying:
Always friends with our dear neighbor
ana co-laborer, Russia. I hope"
AT the luncheon afterward at the Off
GERS mess, the Emperor drank to the
health OF the Grand Duke, saying: ITO
