WILLIAM OPENS
  THE REICHSTAG
His Trip to Palestine Reviewed
 in Speech.
THE INTERESTS OF GERMANY
Materially Advanced by Visit of Prus- sian Potentate- Cherished Mem ory of His Reception by
 the Sultan of Turkey.

Berlin, December 6.-Emperor Wliiiam opened the reichstag in the white hail ol the royal castle here today in the presence of the members of the bundesrath, the geh- erals and other military officials, who were grouped around the throne, Tn front oi which the. reichstag deputies asseHoieo. The empress sat in the grand balcony ana the members of the diplomatic corps ooeu- pied the adjoining gallery. His majesty who arrived at noon, was accompanied oy his sons and by the Persian prince Mlrza.
 After the centrist leader, Lingens, had called for cheers for his majesty, the lni- perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, handed the speech to the emperor, who read 1t Tn loud voice.
 One, of the first bills mentioned wes an anti-strile measure. providing fori the pun --ishreent of those who intimidated strikers, but not interfering with the workmen' s right of coalition.
 Emperor William concluded by saying that it was with deep emotion that he had visited with the empress the spots rendered dear to the whole of Christendom by the sufferings of the Savior, adding:
 '.The anxious desire of my three prede- cessors on the throne of Prussia was to
  gelical confession. That it was granted to me to fulfull this desire and hand over the Redeemer's church at Jerusalem to the service of the Lord is fresh incentive to me to further employ the empower vested in me by the grace of God in behalf of the eternal and fundamental truths of Chris tianity. Guided by such sentiments it af- forded my heart special satisfaction to fulfill the long cherished wish of the Ger man Catholics by the acquisition of proper ty on Mount Zion, sacred to them by hal lowed "reminiscences l cherish the hope that my stay in the Turkish empire and the brilliant reception accorded me by the sui- tan and the Turkish people everywhere will prove to be of permanent benefit to German prestige and the national interests of Germany"
 His majesty's speech was repeatedly cheered.
 , Count Von Lorchenfeld, the Bavarian 7plenipotentiary, called for three cheers for the emperor, after which Emperor William and his sons left the hall and the deputies proceeded to the reichstag, where Herr Lingens took the chair senior member.
 After the usual formalities of the open ing the reichstag adjourned until Wednes- day. ~
 Considerable surprise is expressed at the omission from Emperor Williams up- usually long speech of any reference to the alleged new understanding with Great Britain.
 The evening papers note that the emperor spoke of the czar as his dear friend and of Emperor Francis Joseph as his faithful ally" They argue therefore that the trend of foreign policy is unchanged and that the triple alliance is still in existence
 The preamble of the army bill says that "Germany is still menaced in consequence of her geographical position while neigh boring states do not cease their systematic warike preparations.
