 ic, absolute government. and destruction of the reiehstag's independence
 Remarks Vigorously Applauded
 This sally and similar remarks made by another speaker were vigorously applauded by the whole right, and it was even de- clared that the members of this party were not eager to enter into a new fight at the polls. Nevertheless, it was very hard to change the emperors mind, and it was only at the last moment before he started for Friederichsruhe to attend the entombment of the remains of Prince and Princess Bis marck. two hours before the decision of the reichstag. that he told the imperial chancellor and Count Von Posadowski- Wehner, secretary of state for the interior, that be would content himself with the re- auctions.
 Still the emperor felt that the reichstags action was a personal defeat, and his mor- tihcation was correspond ngly great, for the influence of the courts might for weeks be exerted in the direction of his yielding in this matter. Triumphal shoutings of the opposition when it became evident that the government and the emperor were yielding, and utterances of like nature in the opposition press. have helped to inten- sify his majesty's modification. It is said that he feels dissat' 'sfied with Prince Hohen- lohe, General Won Gossler and Count Won Posadowski-Wehner for what he considers to be the unskillful manner in which the matter was manipulated in the reichstag and the lack of support of the government in the press.
 Before the decision of the reichstag was arrived at. the correspondent here of the Associated Press heard a gentleman of the empefor'S surroundings say:

Hohenloho's Pyrrhic Victory

This has been old Hohenlohe's Pyrrh'c victory. The emperor is tired of him, and he will have to go at the first fighting op- portunity."
 It is said that his majesty is further irri- tated by the fact that the ultra -Mortanes, though only one-third of the minority, upon this occasion triumphed in protestant Ger many over the protestant emperor.
 Since the visit here of Cecil Rhodes number of papers have discussed whether 1t would not be best to insist upon Samoa in exchange for Germany's consent to the building of the Cape Lorraine railroad through German East Africa. The Deutsche Zeitung approves of the scheme. In the meanwhile, the United States ambassador, Mir. Andrew D. White, tells the corre- spondent of the Associated Press that though he has not received instructions on the subject he does not doubt the cor rectness of the dispatches from Washing ton saying the status quo will be main- tained at Samoa, and that Herr Solf, the new municipal president of Apia, will be confirmed by the United States and Great Britain MT. White added that Herr Solf seemed to be the proper man for the posi- ton, and that if Mataafa behaved decent ly and if the ineligibility of Malietoa Tanus be shown, there will probably be no objection to Mataafa's continuance on the throne.
