EMPEROR'S EYES
 ARE NOW OPENED
He Sees Something of Bis-
 marck's Great Work
UNWILLING OF THE STATUTE
The So-caIIed KieI Week in Berlin, Which Began Thursday, Has Been Interesting, Though the Wind
 Has Been Unsatisfactory.

Berlin, June 23.-At the unveiling of the Bismarck memorial in front of the Reichstag building Sunday which drew to Berlin scores of thousands of people from every part of Germany and thousands of foreigners, including many American tourists. Count Von Buelow's oration greatly surprised the Emperor because the whole tone differed from His Majesty's conception of Bismarck s achievements in which the Emperor only sees a servants doing at his masters direction. This, His Majesty again en- phasized at the time by the inscription on the wreath deposited at the foot of the statue, It read:
 ITO the great Emperor's great ser vant'
 Whereas at the unveiling of the Bis marck statue the Emperor did not open his lips, His Majesty made two note worthy addresses at Cuxhaven and at Kiel, the former being the most impor- tant. The Emperor used Count Von Buelow's metaphor, saying Germany had 2 won for herself a place in the sun shine'' and dwe1t emphatGally on the German commercial and national expan- sion.
 The Liberal press has considered there from that it is impossible to grant the agrarian demands, which means that the renewal of the commercial treaties will be rendered most difficult. The agrarian press has denied this cautiously and the conservative press has kept si- lence The whole press was agreeably affected by the Emperors statement that peace is now secured for a number of years to come. The Cologne Volks Zei- tung today critically reviews His Ma jesty's Cuxhaven speech and says
 The Emperor, by his words, has cor roborated what is claimed by the entire world, namely, that the Chinese expedi- ton has been a total failure; for if the Chinese war is really ended, what has Germany achieved by 1t? Not even the reimbursement of her financial outlay, and certainly not the enlargement Of her Chinese possessions; nor has it brought about harmony among the powers in China. It is notoriously obvious to all that wrangling will continue for some time.
 The so-called Kiel week which began Thursday has thus far been interesting, although the wind has been unsatisfac- tory. Yesterday at the great yacht race all of the seventy-four yachts contesting were becalmed when but a few hundred yards from the goal after three hours splendid sailing The Emperor. who had personally steered the Empress yacht Iduna, came in fourth, losing prize. His Majesty entered a aprotest against the winner, The Comet, but the judges de- cided against him. The fact is that the best boats have been unable to show their good points because of unfavorable wind conditions. Another French steam yacht, the F'reya, has entered the races. Germany has now secured twenty-one steamers for the transportation home of her troops in China winding up August 31 from Shanghai with the Princess Irene. It is significant that the entire German press is discussing the chances of Dr. yon Seirnen, director of the Deutsch Bank, and Herr Bellin, director of the Ham, burg American Line, both outspoke1 Lib- erals. entering the cabinet at the Emper- or's wish.
 After yesterdays large pro-Bismarck demonstration at Friederichsruhe those who took part in it wired to Henry Lar bouchere:
 .'God bless all honest Englishmen who l champion justice and truth of the Boer cause"
