: BERLIN, June 9.-The situation in
China IS regarded as of the utmost i'm
portance. Though the foreign office has
been rather uncommunicative through
out the week towards furnishing corre-
spondence, enough information has leak
ed out to show that the whole govern
ment, with the emperor and minister of
foreign affairs, Count Won Buelow, lead
ing, consider the suppression Of the anti
foreign movement in China as a requisite
for a possible regeneration of China, and
certainly for the establishment of healthy
commercial conditions, and Germany
therefore is, as an official of the foreign
office emphatically told the correspondent
Of the Associated Press in favor Of har-
monious joint action by all the powers
interested In China, without permitting
any single power to reap selfish advan-
tage from the situation, nor a group Of
powers doing So Thus far the German
government IS not in possession of Of
fetal or other reliable Information that
any power is trying to get ahead of the
rest in China in favoring the Boxer
- movement.
The failure of the Chinese troops to
subdue the movement results, 1t Is said
here, mainly from the unanimous pro-
crastination of the government and the
cowardly Chinese army and Its comman-
ders Reliable information is to the ef-
feet that Germany in all events will
vigorously exert herself or aid the other
powers to put an end to the present un-
bearaLle situation. His maJesty's in
structions are that, while Germany will
in no way put herself unduly forward,
che is willing to Loyalty cooperate with
the other powers, but is not prepared to
allow the present situation to go on, even
IF the suspicion is aroused that Germany
seeks selfish aims, which is not at all
true
The Cologne Gazette points out today
that the main care now is to re-estabish
orderly conditions in China. Nobody
seems to care whether the Chinese gov
erment thereby comes to grief, or how
the relations between the powers are
thereby altered. 1t seems relatively un-
important whether the Conservative or
Reform party in China be in power.
REICHSTAG DEBATES.
The reichstag debates during the last
days were quite interesting, although the
final passage of the naval bill was
foregone conclusion. The manner in
which Herr Mueller Centrist, on Friday,
attacked the minister Of commerce,
Herr Brief, and minister of treasury,
Baron Won Thelmann, showed that the
government under the present conditions
IS prepared to stand almost any treat
ment from the Center If the latter only
passes the naval bill
Incident to the panic which seized the
boerse Thursday, under which the most
favorable securities, industrials and
cOalers went down in some cases to IA
per cent, Herr Stuck, the Agrarian, salo
that another German "krach" like that
of 1873 was pending, owing to over spec
ulatiOn and greed
On account of China, interest in the
South African news tagged this week.
The semi-ofTicial Post has, however pub
lished a remarkable articIe. 1t asks, rs
the annexation of the republics to be
considered a fact?" which the far-sighted
never doubted, and then proceeds to con-
slider the development of Africa after
peace. 1t recognizes danger enough to
Germany in the British watchWord,
''From Jne Cape to Cairo" but points
out that both the German and French
colonial belts break in continuity in the
British possessions, and that moderation
on all sides will bring about a sensible
1modus vivendi 1t adds that a certain
number of Beers will be welcomed in Ger
man colonies If they drop all pretensions
to separate political existence The task
of civilizing and opening up the dark
continent to trade may we'll be divided
between the three leading European ma
R~ions without causing strife.
