fairs of the Russian concession, and he
adds that the siding Will not be contin-

That Germany Will Oppose

Washington, March 19.-It is feared
here that the negotiations at Pekin re-
specting indemnities may fail owing to
the greed of the individual nations.
Special Commissioner Rockhill has
nothing but discouraging reports to
make on this important branch of the
negotiations. It appears that the min
isters can not agree upon any uniform
basis of indemnity, some Of the powers
demanding enormous sums.
Berlin. March 19.-In the course of
the debate in the reichstag today on the
third reading of the budget, replying 10
Prince Bismarcks criticisms of Count
Won Buelow's recent speech, that the
chancellor insisted too much j n Ger
manys interests in Manchuria and that
Germany's interest would have suffered
even If Kiao Chou had not been leased.
Won Buelow said Germany had the
greatest interest in preventing friction
between the powers now negotiating in
China. Moreover, in eastern Asia Ger
many had many interests to safeguard
In Shan Tung province she had millions
invested Above all. Germany had to
insist on adequate compensation being
given for the murder of Baron Won Ket
teller. That was question in which
the honor of Germany was involved
and in which she had vital interests.
In the further course of his speech the
chancellor said: II have left no room
for the slightest doubt that no German
politica! interests exist in Manchuria.
but I the same time I have stated it
must naturally be our desire that China
shall not too seriously diminish her ca
pacity for satisfying the just claims of
the powers for compensation. This is
not misunderstood in any quarter Two
hours ago received a dispatch from
st. Petersburg. according to which
Count Lamsdorff Russian minister of
foreign affairs. has expressed his salts
faction to the German Ambassador with
many statements in regard to the Chi
nese question.
The chancellor gave figures illustrat-
I've of the Importance of the commerce
between Germany and East Asia,
amounting to so,00O.00O marks. A hun
ldred million marks are invested in Shan
Tung province. Germany, therefore,
has the greatest interest in .preventing
the Chinese trade becoming the booty of
a single power or several powers with
out our participation"
He declared the center of gravity of

and that he had no intention of allow
ing It to be displaced while protecting
her interest in Asia
Subsequently. Prince Bismarck de-
clared he had been misunderstood. He
really desired to assist the chancellor
1T twas obvious German honor must be
vindicated.
The house agred to the proposal OF the
budget committee to include in the next
budget credit for 10000 marks towards
iinstituting chambers of commerce
abroad, altho Baron Won Richthofen,
froeign secretary. deprecated their in
stitution. declaring if the establishment
of such chambers in America would be
of any appreciable value Great BtitainH
would have long since established
them.
