ton continues to hold the attention of
the public. the newspapers being full
of dispatches and comment on the sub
Ject. The emperor has devoted much
time TO the matter. and has conferred
several times on the subject with the
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Eulow.
1t is interesting to note that German
distrust and dissatisfaction at the
latest events are almost entirely aimed
at Great Britain, whose attitude is de-
scribed, even in official circles, as be-
ing dictated by duplicity and unfriend-
illness. The press faithfully portrays
this feeling. The delay of Great Brit
ain in accepting the proposals for a
settlement of the difficulty, which the
United States ambassador, Andrew d.
White, attributed mainly to the abb
sence Of the Marquis of Salisbury from
London, is generally Interpreted in Ger
many as showing distinctly unfriendly
motives upon the part of Great Britain
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has had an interview on the sub
Ject with a high officer, who said:
TT has been a source of regret and
establishment that Great Britain, unlike
the United States, has not expressed
regret at the latest turn OF affairs in
Samoa, while the acceptance of our
peaceful settlement has so far been
coupled with unacceptable conditions
containing the seed of new troubles,
and manifeStly unfair. We could not
accept conditions enabling the Ameri
can and British commissioners at any
time to override German rights, thus
perpetuating the unpleasant state of
affairs in the islands"
The press comment is in the same
key, but naturally it is more outspok
en-. In a lengthy article the Kreuz
U1fA .la.o if1ir1 h
NAL a fides in the whole matter, alleg-
ing that she is trying. for her own
selfish purposes. to entangle the United
States in hostility with all the CONT
mental powers, and at the same time
drag her into policy of expansion.
The article concludes:
WARNED OF PAINFUL SURPRISES.
1--WE say all this regretfully. An hon
est entente with Great Britain would be
an undeniable advantage, but, perhaps,
1t is well thus early to be effectually
undeceiVed, as it may spare US later
more painful surprises.
The Boersen Courier says the reason
of Great Britain's delay in asserting to
Germany's proposal was founded on her
desire to continue with the aid of the
United States policy of splitting Ger
many" and claims To find proof Of this
attitude in the London press, which it |

trouble btween Germany and the Unit
ed States"
The Tageblatt takes Great Britain to
task for not expressing regret at the
unexpected policy of repression in
Samoa" and regards her attitude to- |
ward Germany as insincere.
The Cologne Volks Zeitung says:
Great Britain's behavior in this |
matter is symptomatic. and opens an
unfavorable vista for other pending ne |
gotiations."
The correspondent of the Associated |
Press learns from inside Information |
that the anti-strike bill, announced by |
the emperor with flourish at Ceyn- |
haussn, after hanging fire for months |
in the Prussian and other cabinets has
at last found its way TO the bundles
rath. In its present shape the measure |
is much mildeT than the emperor de-
sired. and the minister of the interior,
Count Won Posadowski- Wehner denies
that the bill threatens anybody melting
a strike with confinement in the peni-
Tertiary, adding:
''Of course, his majesty does not like
It. but the bundeSrat tn would never con-
Sder such bin as the emperor wants"
OPPOSITION TO THE EMPEROR.
An interesting point however, is that
the bundesrath seems decided upon a

ConstitutionallY the bundeSrath alone
in the first instance, has the right to
decide the shape of all legislation for
the empire before it is presented to the
Teichstag and the bundesrath, as a
body. of course. acting under instruc-
tons from the government except the
Prussian. has come to the conclusion
that the emperor too often and too pub
licly tries to usurp the functions of the

vance on legislative projects.
Therefore il is necessary to make his
majesty understand that the other Ger
man rulers viii not submit TO such
treatment. The constitution is entirely
on their side in this matter. The recent
defeat of the emperor. when he was
prevented by the bundesrath from dis
solving the reichstag on the army bill,
vas the first hint of the bundesrath.

anti-strike bill viii be the second init
