Triumph for Chinese Diplomacy.
Berlin, Sept. At is generally con-
ceded that the settlement of the Chun
difficulty makes another success for
Chinese diplomacy. A semiofficial in
timation has been conveyed to the
press that the government waived the
petition for forgiveness, owing to
desire not to place China in the atti-
tude of having countenanced assassi-
nation. Stress is now laid upon the
address which Prince Chun will read
to Emperor William. Nevertheless, the
expiatory mission has become shorn
of all semblance of national spec
tacle, illustrating German imperial SUI
premacy, and has dwindled down to
private reception of rather unwel-
come envoy, who has had matters all
his own way regarding the perform
| ance of his errand. AS matter of fact,
| the government now seems anxious to
get rid as quickly as possible of the
expiatory incubus; and the PROBABLE
tiles are that the mission will leave
Berlin soon after the audience.
Won Buelow Denounced.
| The first flush of satisfaction at be-
ing rescued from an awkward position
having passed, the press and public
now vent their spleen upon Count Won
Buelow, who has really saved the gov
eminent from an absolute fiasco. The
pan-German papers are particularly
bitter. They deride the imperial chan
cellor with lack of stamina, and refer
to the incident as the greatest snub
since Olmuetz."
Gin official circles" says the Ber-
liner Tageblatt, 'there exists feeling
that it would be an error to insist thai
Prince Chun beg pardon for the muir
der of Baron Won Ketteler, inasmuch a!
the German government never took
the position that Emperor Kwang su
was responsible for It,"
The Boersen Courier says it learns
that Count Won Buelow dissuaded tn.
kaiser from insisting upon the cere
mony of prostration, arguing that
mere externalities were worthless.
