sooTHED BY Won BUELow
German Nervousness Over the Kaiser's
Visit to Great Britain.

Berlin, March 6.-Replying to Il
question of Herr Schaedler Centrist,
in the reichstag yesterday, on the sub
ject of Emperor Williams recent visit
to England. the imperial chancellor,
Count Won Buelow, declared the visit
was neither of a political nor of a
courtly character, but was purely of
humane character. The emperor mere
ly fastened to the deathbed of his
grandmother. 1t is easy to under
stand that the act evoked the gratitude
of Great Britain and aroused there a
desire for peaceful and friendly rela-
tions. This wish was showed by Ger
many. a full equality of rights between
the German and British nations, of
course, a condition sine qua non.
Referring to the criticism of himself
published in the Russian Commercial
and Industrial Gazette because he had
not regarded German agriculture as
negligible quantity, the chancellor said
it is the right and duty of every gov
eminent to give all the concession it
can without prejudicing the interests
of its own country. But appreciation
of these interests did not imply hos
tility against ''our heretofore and,
hope. our future commercial friends.
| hope we shall come to an understand
ing III uHlS respect. but mere again
the basis can only be complete reci-
procity and the independence of our
own country.
"Our foreign policy now as formerly
is determined neither by love nor hate,
and neither by dynastic considerations
nor ties of relationship, but solely by
calm, sober, deliberate consideration
of the interests of state. He knows
little the emperor who thinks that
other motives sway him than those
prompted by conscientious solicitude
for the welfare of the empire, and
they would misjudge me sorely who
believed 1 could be won over to any
policy but a German national one.
which | sum up in the words good and
friendly relations with all those powers
who wish to live in peace and friend
ship with us But the absolute MAIN
tenance of that political and economic
independence to which the German ma
tion has gained an inalienable right by
its struggles, labor and> high level of
civilization

Chancellor Won Buelow was loudly

WILL HELP COLONEL REND
In His Fight Against the Ii. and o. for
Alleged Discrimination.

Springfield, Ills, March 6.-The coal
mine operators of Illinois will stand
by Colonel w. T. Rend in his fight
against the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, which. it is charged, has been
discriminating in favor of the West
Virginia operators in the matter of
freight rates. and thus contributing to
the decentralization of the coal busi-
ness in Illinois. One OK the leading
operators says that large contracts
have been lost to the Illinois operators
owing to their inability to compete
with the coal from West Virginia
which can be landed at northern points
cheaper than the coal from this state.
The state organization of miners
will assist the operators in their eff
forts to control trade in their own
field. The West Virginia operators
have the advantage not only of re-
duced railroad rates in their favor, but
that of mining their coal with nom
union labor at rate that gives them
an undoubted advantage sin disposing
of the product. The state officials are
preparing to send large force of eX-
perienced organizers inte West Vir-

today the whole police force was on

serves. John Redmond raised the
question of privilege arising from the
painful scenes of last night" He
claimed the mem bers had been sus-
pended without proper steps being
taken to identify and their removal
had been accompanied by undue vio-
lence. He was satisfied members
were suspended who had actually
gone to the lobby to participate in a
division.

London, March s6-Richard Croker
has seldom expressed his indignation
at unauthorized newspaper interviews
in such strong terms as he used yes
terday when shown a copy of New
York newspaper of Feb. 1S, containing
an alleged exclusive statement of his
views regarding New York politics.
You know how frequently L have

Press, Oh current events in New York, :"

Not a single line of the entire in
terview has foot to stand on. 1t is
Il tissue of lies from beginning to end.
The newspaper has been frightfully
imposed on by some one, and that per-
son propose to discover and whip out
of journalism. If he is prepared to
perjure himself l am ready to declare
that L was nowhere near Vantage on

me. Absolute proof of the wholesale
falSehood is the allegation that l made
a declaration announcing the forth
coming majOritieS in New York. | do
not think l have ever been accused of
being such fool as that. The state
ment that 1 have bought 115 acres of
property here is equally as untrue as
my alleged statements regarding Dev-
cry, Coler and others.
Prosecuted by the Press.
''As l have, frequently told the AS
sociated Press. when L decided to talk
American politics, l would talk to the
Associated Press alone. and no one
can draw me by any subterfuge. 1t
has come to such a pass that l am un-
able to talk with reporters except in
the presence of witnesses. All kinds
of fiends have been Photographic my
place, dogs, stables. etc, using the
pictures to give a semblance of truth

report from Havana that General
Wood has informed members of the

the declaration of congress as con-
tanned in the Platt amendment to the

basis for further negotiations between
the United States and Cuba, and that
the rejection of the amendment by the
convention would be followed by the
reconvening of the American congress

To this communication Count Won

persisted in fortifying the legation
quarter it was extremely probable that
the court would never return to Pc

the latter question points out that if
