WHY KRUGER WAS !SNUBBED
COUNT Won BUELOW TELLS THE
REICHSTAG THE REASON THE
KAISER WOULD NOT
RECEIVE HIM.

Berlin. Dec. 1O-The Imperial Chancellor,
Count Won Bulow. replying in the Reichstag
10 a question on the subject Of Mr.. Krugers
failure TO be received by Emperor William said
the Government did all in it's power TO ward on
war; and left the two republics in no doubt as
TO the state of affairs in Europe and TO Ger
man neutrality When. in 1S99 the question Of
arbitration seemed not altogether excluded, the
Government recommended il to Mr.. Kruger,
who thought the time had not yet come When
Mr.. Kruger later, sought intervention, his feel
ings were too highly inflamed for the Dutch and
German governments. For the German Gov
eminent it was lost time to give advice.
Germany was convinced that any step Of
great Power at that moment would be critical
and lead TO no result There was no use for
u.s." said the Chancellor. ito pinch our fingers
between the door and the hinge" The Chan
cellor added that when the suggestion of media
ton was made TO Great Britain by the United
States in a quite gently worded inquiry. it was
rejected officially aud categorically Interven-
ton might have led TO war The Chancellor
described the reply Of N. Delcasse, the French
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, to Mr.. Kruger as:
France will in no case take the initiative. but
would not oppose il when certain eYentuatitles
became known, provided they were calculated
10 serve French interests.
The Chancellor thereupon. remarked that he
himself. Ovations TO Mr. Kruger in Germany,
he pointed out, would have displaced interna
tional relations and served no purpose Of Mr..
Kruger or Of Germany. Germany not bound
TO Great Britain by a hairs breadth more than
Great Britain was bound to Germany. But 70
act the Don Quixote against Great Britain
would be piece Of folly for which he would not
be responsible
Although the Kruger matter will be taken up
again in the Reichstag. Count Bulows
speech evidently prepared with great care was
so overwhelming in its array Of powerful facts
that il amounted to a sweeping victory over the
entire opposition. So far German politics go
the incident is closed. At all events. this was

journment was taken AT a late hour Baron
