GERMANY WANTS TO
GET OUT OF CHINA
WEAKNESS Manifested Over the
Operations in Far East.
SPEEDY END is DESIRED
IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHEN
PEACE WILL BE DECLARED.

Berlin, March 16-The most striking
feature during Fridays and today's
debate in the reichstag was the unani-
mously manifested feeling of weari-
ness over the China adventure It
was a regular chorus of '1et us get out
from China" The socialist speakers
said:
Get out at any price" the radical,
left and center said, Get out as soon
as honor permits
Even the conservatives said as much,
though all parties recognized the fact
that the 123, OOO, 600 marks demanded as
a third installment of the expense
must be voted. Indeed, the entire ma
ton is thoroughly tired of China, even
the great and reigning princes, as the
toast of the heir to the BSVarian throne
at the Munich festivities showed when
he said; I'VE all desire a speedy and
successful end of the China war
The newspapers today are full of
comment upon Count Won BueIows
latest utterances on the subject of
China and foreign politics. Nearly aI
the papers touch on the chancenor's
positive statement regarding the drei-
bund'S stability and his reference to
the Anglo-G n-China agreement,
but they do not refer to the latter
There have been a number of previous
semi official hints.
1t is fntimated, however, that the
papers regret Count Won BuelOw's IN
ability to tell, even approximately,
when peace will be declared. The Lo-
kal Anzeiger and VOssischa Zeitung
consider peace and the withdrawal of
the German troops to be still a long
way off and likely to be postponed d
year or two. The Tageblatt, Deutsche
Tages Zeitung, Die Post Kreuz lei
nd
express the liveliest satisfaction at the
fact that Won Buelow's declarations
gave light on the subject of the actual
relations between Russia and Ger
many, or at least regarding the present
relations, which do not happen to be
as critical as has been generally
feared.
Arrange for Damages.
The National Zeitung points out that
the chancellor's Utterances seem to
show that the financial damages to be
paid by China will be soberly and wise
ly arranged by the Pekin diplomatists.
the press praise Won Buelow for his
frankness, Only the VoerWaerts dUbS
his speeches as causeries (chats).
Regarding Russia's reported protest
against further punishments of Chi
nese provincial officials outside of Pc
Chi Ii, official circles here say that
such a protest could not have been
no interest therein, but against Great
Britain and the United States, particu-
larry the latter, many of whose citizens
were murdered outside Of Pc Chi Ii.
This weeks reichstag doings were
interesting. The colonial budget dis
cussiOns showed again that the Ger
man colonies hitherto have been unen-
viabie property, several of them eX-
hibiting steadily decreasing trade with
Germany, especially the largest of ALL
.yTrh iph &c
twice the size of Germany. But its
trade to Germany was only 5000, 900
marks in 1899, although the empire pays
100000 marks for its administration,
partly for quelling constant uprisings.
Kameron's territory alone seems to
more than cover the expenses.
There is a movement on foot among
German women to issue gigantic pro-
test against the threatened increase Of
agricultural duties, as rendering the
necessaries of life much higher, es-
pecially for the poorer classes, which
comprise 81 per cent of the whole ma
ton. The call issued at Dresden by
the most noted women leaders has al
ready received millions of signatures.

the text of a law adopting the Ameri-
can letter box system for the German
postal department.
