both high and low, has become deeply
nervous. Every bit of news from China
is instantly commented upon heatedly,
everywhere Opinions withal differ
locally among the masses, but the in
preston with the government is that the
Chinese situation Is most serious. This
results from the fact that Emperor WI
Lam AMI most of the cabinet ministers
have postponed their summer vacations
because it is believed that before long
the weightiest decisions must be taken.
Tlis majestys Chinese reward dispatch
is commented upon by the press SYM
patheticaily. The Tageblatt says:
This manifestation of the solidarity of
interests of all the civilized nations
shows the broadness of the empercr's
views and sentiments"

matte thoughts Upon receipt of the news
of the assassination OF Baron Won Ket,
teller, the late German minister at Picking,
but could only with difficulty be re-
strained from following the dictates Of
his heart and forthwith ordering a regu-
lar corps to be modified and sent TO
China. The more sober views of the
minister Of foreign affairs, Count Won
Buelow, prevailed only after several
lengthy conferences.
TO TAKE VENGEANCE.
Among those who were ear witnesses
of the emperor's remarks to the marines
at WilhelmshaVen, previous TO their de-
parture Tor China, it is known that his
address was much more strongly worded
than officially reported, and the news
papers of Wilhelmshaven and vicinity
published the original version in which
was the following:
Il hope to re-establish peace with the
sword and take vengeance in a manner
never before seen by the world 1 send
you to eradicate the dishonor done to the
fatherland by harba1ians L shall not
rest until the German colors fly from the

A number of interesting press utter
anceS appear today. The semi official
Post has an inspired article in which rea-
sons why Germany cannot counsel Rus
STA to accept Japanese Intervention aSH
set forth In detail. The writer says:
The first principle Of German policy
is 20 reject that condition interpreted as
an act of craftsmanship against Russia.
All attempts by England to induce r.

adequately rewarded by Englands pla-
tcnic approval"
Another inspired article in the Neueste
Nachrichten says:
In Berlin we make German politics
and not English politics. Germany can
not support motion to entrust Japan
with mandate until she accurately
knows what practical deductions Japan
will draw therefrom.
Gen. Won der Goltz has been inter-
viewed about present Chinese troub es,
He says he left Picking In April and that
even then there We're signs that the court
sympathized with the Boxers Since
then, he added, evidently the dowager
empress, who personally Is an estimable
lady, has got entirely into the power Of
Prince Tuan, who was responsible for
the 1898 coup d'etat. He does not think
things will develop so terrible as antici-
pated, since the Chinese are not a politi-
cal race, and the Chinese character rem
ders a great national movement impossi-
ble."
FAITH IN POWERS.
Herr Otto Unfried, a missionary of
Stuttgart, predicts the same result as in
the Gengenwart.
Theodore Won Sheve, former instruc-
tor al lien Tsin, in the Naueste Nachrlch-
ten, says he believes that an expedition
to Picking undertaken energetically by
corps of 1900 men would succeed. He
adds that the example Of a few Euro
peans at Peking defending themselves
successfully for weeks against thousands
of Chinese, shows what bravery can ac
complish against the Chinese, who,
despite European training, lack courage
and tactical qualities.
The foreign office today informed the
correspondent of the Associated Press
that Japan quite recently made a second
suggestion to the powers asking what
they intended to do in China. Germany
answered that that country considers the
harmony of the powers in acton the
chief thing, but the representatives of
the German government added that they
would not raise an objection to a Chi
nese mandate if all the powers were
agreed upon that subject.
A Vienna dispatch appeared here today
In which 1t was stated that the person
who Informed the correspondent had re-
ceived information from a member of
the American legation to the effect that
treaty was in existence between the
United States and China obliging the
United States to send to China her good
offices in case the integrity of China is
threatened by any power. Ambassador
White, when asked regarding the subject,
told the Associated Press correspondent
that he was of the opinion that any
statement of this character was certainly
false.
No further communications between
the embassy at asnlngton and the or
eign Office upon the question of China
has been made recently.
The comment in the German newspa-
pers regarding the Zephilion airship is
rather unfavorable. Eye witnesses point
out that it was impossible for the airship,
acting under the motion of the wind, to
return to the starting point. The fact
was noted that even under the favorable
conditions, which existed when the land
ing was effected, the airship was badly
damaged.
