GREAT DAY IN REIcHSTAG.
Won BUELOW WILL PRESENT GER
MANY's FOREIGN POLICY.

Cordial Understanding With the
Eject of the Repeal of the Anti
Coalition CInuse-President Me-
KinIey's Utterances as to Germany
VIII Have the Effect of Cementing
Friendship.
Copyright 1899 by the Associated Press
Berlin, Dec. 9.-Next Tuesday will be a
great day in the Reichstag. The budget
debate will open, and Count Won Buelow
will make fun presentation of the pres
ent status of Germany's foreign policy.
He will speak particularly of Samoa and
the Transvaal, and will frankly acknowl-
edge the high value he attaches to the
full established cordial understanding be-
tween Germany, the United States and
Great Britain. He will also show the alb
solute need of a powerful navy The Reich
stag will give Count Won BueloW hatter
ing evidence of its confidence. The ensu-
ing debate will be most interesting.
Information, which is considered conclu-
sive, shows that the abolition of the anti
coalition paragraph of the political asso-
citation law, has produced serious rup-
ture between the. Emperor and the gov
eminent and the Right and Conservative
parties. who now acknowledge they were
foiled in an attempt to GUST Prince He
henlohe.
Another interesting result is that DR.
Miguel, who, until Within a few months,
welded the greatest influence within the
cabinet, over the Emperor. is now definite
ly disgraced, to the extent that the EN-
peror declines to confer personally with
him.
McKinIey's Message.
It is probably not too much to say that
President McKinley's message will have
a lasting effect in cementing American
and German friendship. pronounced
cordial and amicable tone toward the
United States has become general in the
German press. Count Won Buelow's frank
words to the Associated Press on the sub
ject have been since supplemented by sim
liar utterances which he has made to sew
eral German papers, the most remarkable
being in the Neuste Nachrichten, in which
he reviewed the traditional friendly re-
lations since Frederick the Great, dwelt
on blood affinity and reciprocity
Of culture, spoke in praise of the United
States attitude in settling the Samoan
trouble, in permitting cable laying, and In
the conclusion of a parcels post treaty,
congratulated the two countries on the
removal of the friction growing out Of the
trouble with the insurance companies, and
expressed the hope that the remaining
commercial differences would be settled
through mutual good will.
The Berlin University shows CATS en-
rolled students, besides 4,4S3 auditors, 100
enrolled Americans and 406 female audit
ors.
The Emperor is now causing the cree
ton of a high iron fence behind monu-
ments in the Sieges Ale, to protect them
from mutilation.

School Notes.

Each day the CHEEKY faces of the
young idea OF our town greet the
teachers Of their respective grades in
the school room. Our school is pro.
crossing nicely. With few additions
each week, a very good percentage Of
attendance and better work generally
throughout the school, we are advanc.
ing, step by step, up the ladder Of
learning.
Last spring Miss Page presented to
the school, among other things, a pic.
ture, with the understanding that it
should be framed and used as BAN
ner picture in the different rooms
MI. Humphrey very kindly donated
the frame, for which he will please
accept the thanks of the school. 1t
is beautiful picture of three kittens
and will be greatly appreciated by the
younger pupils. 1t will hang in
either the primary or the intermediate
room, whichever has the least pc,
cent. of hardness.
Following is the report for the
month ending Sept. %:
Number OF pupils enrolled, 20l.
Average daily attendance, 1874.
Per cent. of attendance, 97.2.
Number OF cases of hardness, 80.
The attendance was exceptionally
good the first month, but will not be
so good the second month owing tc
the fact that number Of the pupils
visited the Exposition at Spokane.
The school is indebted 20 Rev. New
man for an addition to the library in
the form of a large volume OF the his
tory OF the state OF Washington.
We are sorry to lose from the schoo
room Oliver and Mary Durand. who
have gone to live in Seattle, and oul
best wishes go with them.
