and Sympathy for
the ROers.

BERLIN, Nov 24-The reichstag de
bates this week on the Chinese indemnity
dill evolved a mass of interesting fact:
showing conclusively that Emperor Will
Jams personal China policy for the last
six months is either wholly Or partly dis
approved by nearly the entire nation as
evidenced by the fact that every party
leader had thus expressed himself, even
the extreme Conservatives, but, now thai
the reichstag, unless it is willing to pre-
cipitate the gravest kind of conflict
which it is not, must needs appropriate
the sums already expended.
Another even more noteworthy fact is
that the reichstag, for the first time since
the empires creation, INDUCED in free
and unrestricted criticism of the en-
peror's words and acts, every party shar-
ing therein without once being inter
fered with by the president of the house.
! This is regarded by leading parliament
tarians as an important gain for Gar
many.
Further political development was that
it was remarkable that some of the most
severe criticisms of his majesty's I'M
measured utterances came from Con-
servatve speakers.
KAISER CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
The Reichsbotte, which is an extreme
ly loyal, Conservative paper, once more,
referring to the ''no-quarter'' speech,
and personally apostrophizing the en-
peror, warns him henceforth to mind his
words more, saying that he must not
forget that every word goes into the
world and is subject to the worlds crttI-
ciSm.'

]esty lends his ear to industriaIs, com

way for his majesty to learn the senti-
ments OF the different classes. and not
only those of the nobility and Agrarian
estate holders
