GERMANY TALKS
 ABOUT ENGLAND Emperor Williams Visit is Still
 Talked About PAR LAMENT CRITICISED Edwards Speech From Throne Was Very Disappointing to Germany, As 1t In No Way Referred To
 AngIe-German Relations.
PAR LAMENT CRITICISED

Berlin, February 16:-Emperor Williams friendly conduct toward Great Britain recently and the motives which induced 1t still form the faYerite subject for dis cussion here. It was because of this that unusual interest was taken In Germany at the opening of the British Parlia- ment The speech from the throne and the debate on the address in reply to 1t were thoroughly disappointing because of the absence of any reference to the closer Anglo-German relations. Town Gibson Boles' interpolation anent the alleged German seizure of a portion of the Bel gian Congo was seized on by the press today as proof that the British peoples hostile and meddlesome feeling toward Germany remained unchanged.
 The Tageblatt ironically says:
 'The harmony between England and Germany Is evidently largely over-es- timated, because MT. Boles queries were dictated by nothing but i'll will and spite.'
 The Lokal Anzeiger says;
 Hardly has Parliament opened when tho accustomed spitefui anti-German hatred begins.''
 The Emperor's pro-British sentiments and actions are still unceasingly con- demned.
 The Dresdener Nachrichten, Conserva- tive. saysi
 Since Prince Bismarck's fall the rela- tions between the nation and the En- peror were never worse.'
 The semi-official press, since His Mail GSty'S return has beep dnipn arufh h hiro to eounteract this all-pervading anti E,m- peror sentiment but unsuccessfully and unslsifully. It Is noteworthy that the strongest opposition to Emperor William in this connection comes from the conser- vatives. which party usually claims loy- atty to the monarchy as monopoly.
 Won BueIow Takes Responsibility.
 The Munich Allegemine Zeitung Na- tional Liberal, inspired announces that Count von Buelow, imperial chancellor, assumes responsibility for Emperor Will Hams pro-British acts, and that he will seize on an early opportunity to show the nation that His Majesty had good and sufficient reasons for his conduct
 The Vorwarets, the leading Socialist organ, sarcastically points out that the younger party expresses disapproval of Emperor Williams doings even more freely than the Socialists when His Ma 5esty happens to differ from them"
 The winter trip which General Werter is to undertake to Russia has been mis- interpreted General Werter is not un- dertaking any diplomatic mission, as re- ported here and elsewhere. He simply goes to Russia as the private guest of several old Russian friends at St. Peters, burg. However, it Is not officially denied that Russia, including the Czar himself, is deeply suspicious of Emperor Will Hams doings in Great Britain, notwith- standing the fact that the Russian am bassador here, Count Ostensacken dur ing several conferences with Count von Buelow, was assured that His Majesty s actions were simply due to his impulsive nature and strong family feeling.
 There is no doubt that the German na- ton and press are heartily tired of the Chinese war. Sentiment is continually growing in this direction and criticism on the administrators policy is out spoken.
