Emperor wnllam,s speeeh.

Berlin, Aug. emperor William last
week was unusually laxative, es-
pecially during the embarkation of the
China troops, besides delivering regular
sermon to large body of departing
troops aboard a ship, promising, from a
passage in the second book of Moses,
about the struggle between the Israelites
and the Amalekites, that so long as the
troops and those remaining at home pray
ed hard for success against the Chinese,
victory would be theirs. The emperor
also yesterday addressed a number OF
LLOYD workmen. The Lokal Anzeiger
states that the emperor decorated them
personally, aided by his officers, attach
| ing medals to the workmen's breasts
| thanking them and saying that by faith
fully remaining at lneir posts, in spite OF
the strike of their fellow-workers, thu
timely embarkation of troops had beer
made possible. Next the emperor Sc
yerely condemned strikes and those re
sponsible for loclouts in Hamburg ant
elsewhere for leaving the fatherland IL
the lurch in such critical times. Besid
these talks, number of rhe emperor
utterances made privately this week
Bremerhaven have become current, al
showing that his Indignation against tn
Chinese is still as strong as ever.
