BERLIN, Nov. 25-The visit Of En-
peror William to England, although
more or less discounted beforehand, has
occupied public opinion this week above
all else. Even the most rabid Anglo
phobes found little fault with the speech
es Of his majesty's reception. Some of
the papers commented, in a friendly way,
on the evidences of good will and SYM
pathy shown the emperor, even by the
lower classes Of English, and augured
we'll therefrOm for a firmer and clearer
understanding between the two countries.
It Is significant that one of Germanys
noted professors publishes q strong argu-
ment in favor of a German British-Amer-
ican alliance, while Herr Earth does the
same. IN the nation, however, there is
no doubt that the vast majority of press
and people continue hostile to Great Brit
ain and disapprCve of the imperial visit.
A we'll known poet in the Pan German
Deutsche Zeitung, has written a poetic
warning to the emperor, beginning:
mach England Kaiser gehe NIGHT"
Willie scores Of papers have vented
their notwithstanding, signs are dis
cernable of beginning to veer The
Cologne Gazette, which has been friendly
to Great Britain from the start, and even
the influential Kreuz Zeitung, often the
barometer of court weather, and the lead
ing center organ, the Cologne VoIkszeit-
ung, have articles this week condemning
the "senseless, rabid, Arglophcbia." The
<reuz~ Zeitung saying:
Opinion in Germany does not strive
against the re-establishment Of better po-
utical and commercial relations with
England. On the contrary it favors both,
and believes there is room enough on the
globe for both nations, without either
obscuring the sunlight of the other"
The Cologne Volkszeitung ridicules the
''unreasonble pan-Germans," saying they
would have jubilated if the emperor had
gone to st. Petersburg instead of Eng
land.
The comment on the South African war,
generally, is tincturad with i'll will for
Great Britain. The Cologne Zeitung as
su1nes the success of the Beers, and adj
Vises President Kruger to insist upon the
cession of Delagoa bay to the Trcnsvaal
which it adds will lead to a new and
better German policy in South Africa
The Deutsche Tagzeitung says:
eff the English press continues in its
arrOgancy to represent England as the
paramount power and Germany as the
vassal in South Africa, an increase, If
possible of the disikes felt here for our
trans-channel cousins will be the cOnse-
Quence."
CZAR OFFENDED.
Details of the cars visit to Potsdam
are leaking out. The correspondent here
of the Associated Press learns from a
person who was present, that the car
was cool and reserved at first. This was
due not only to his natural disposition
and adherence of scenes and painful ex-
plantations, but also to the TACT that for
some time stories have been circulated by
gc-betweens- at both courts, of biting re-
marks of the emperor to the effect that
the car was ''pantofle" and held to be
averse to everything military about his
''spieleroi Hague conference, all of
which was reported to the car in distort-
ed shapes. Owing to this the meeting
was repeatedly put off, and only finally
took place through the influence of the
czarina. However, the enpei or explana-
lions were irresistible, and the amiabiity
which he knows so well how to display
when it suits him, had the desired eff
feet, so the czer departed in a friendly
mood He was rot angry nor astonished
at the Samoan agreement, and bet
ter understanding between Great Britain
and Germany.
Regarding the emperor'S present fee
fngs about the war the Associated Press
correspondent learns from the same au-
thority that his natural sympatnies are
altogether on the British side. hut he
clearly realizes that the complete wip-
ting out of the Beers as an independent
government in South Africa would not
subserve German interests. He also dis
approves of what he terms Mr.. Cham
berlain's insincere and prov ocatiVe
policy"
Although expected, the burial of the
a,7ti-strike bill came more swiftly than
anticipated by either the government or
the reichstag. The collapse was due to
the conviction of the centerists that their
amendments would not be accepted by the
government. The correspondent Of the
Associated Press learns that there is nc
intention to introduce another anti
Socialist bin at present. Emperor Will
liam no longer attaches the highest I'M
portanc1 to an anti-stl zKe bill, and even
the canal bill for a time has given way
to the naval bill, the passage of which
engrosses his thoughts. In the mean
time Count Posadowski- Wehner, the
minister of the interior, and the Beriner
Correspondent, the special organ of the
governments internal policy, severely
repTiEaard the majority OF the reichstas
which; u the rejection of the bill. was
