The baron then read part of the
reatv and coDfinued-

The baron then read part of the
treaty and continued:
THE German government has always
considered these clauses of the treaty
as implying unlimited most favored ma
ton treatment for Germany in all tar
if treaties. Concessions of any other
kind which the United States might
grant to a third state in return for
some special compensation, Germany
would only claim if she made CORE
spending return to the United States.
This view is based upon the we'll
weighed meaning and text of the trea-
ties. Germany cannot recede from
this position"
In the course of his speech, Baron
Won BuloW emphatically declared that
Germany only intended to protect the
life and property of the Germans in the
Philippine islands. and added:
Now we have no fears. We are
convinced that our countrymen in the
Philippines are safe under American
protection. If part of the foreign press
falsely imputes to us other motives
than the above, it does not alter the
facts" (Cheers.)
In denying the statements made re-
garding German intrigues with Aguin-
aldo and the Filipinos. and the story
about the German consul at Hongkong
supply arms and ammunition to the
Filipinos, Baron Won BulOw said:
''Those are among the latest canards
that ever f1uttered out of a duckpond.
The relations between the German and
American naval officers at Manila were
not only friendly throughout, but were
mutually courteous" (Cheers.)
The baron then referred to the
Fourth of July speech of the United
States ambassador here, Andrew d.
White, which. he said. did Germany
Justice. (Cheers.) The minister after
wards spoke of the perf1diOuS press re-
ports of both countries, and enumerated
many historical ties between the two
nations, adding:
1T will be well not to rupture those
ties. We will treat the United States
without provOcatiOn, but without weak
ness" (Cheers.)
The imperial chancellor. Prince Ho-
henlohe. who is not vet quite well in
health, made his appearance in the
house during the speech and shook
hands with Baron Bulow.

This fair maid will have handsome dot

father to have her marry one whose fortune
will at least equal her own.

toeratlc way that some fathers have lie

nothing TO show that he has any business
ability, and | don't want him hanging around
here any more.
What is business ability, papa?"
"Why, you know. Everybody knows, Of
course. Let me see. Why, it S the ability to
see the main chance, to grab il, and hang on
till you get the money. That's what 1t is
and there's plenty of young men in Detroit
that have il. Blank lacks it woefully."
ooh, he does. I'm afraid, papa. that

He knows that I'll have 100000 some time

The old gentleman's answer sounded suS-

was fully five minutes before the bewitching
creature could bring the sunshine OF a smile
to his face. Now he tells few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making ut

1t requires considerable experience
