BERLIN, March 3.-In the Reichstag to-
day Herr Hssse uiberaD. referring TO the
visit OF Prince Henry to the United States,
said he was glad to see 1t had frustrated
the designs Of Great Britain against a Ger
man-Americsn understanding, but that the
German element in the United states was
a power which would not and should not
build UP q state within a state.
Herr Gradnauer (social democracy ridi-
culed the idea Of any advantage arising
from Prince Henry's visit. He said II was
very ingenious to expect any Improvement
In the relations between Germany and the
United States to result from such a Jour-
neg.
Replying to Herr Grednauer. Count Won
Buelow said he deeply regretted the re-
marks of the last speaker, especially in
view Of the splendid welcome Prince Henry
was receiving from the American people.
This remark OF Count Won Buelow was
greeted with applause from all sections Of
the house. Continuing the imperial chan
cellor said the journey of the emperor's
brother had no political object, save the
natural one Of UNFOLDING the traditional
good relations between Prussia, Germany
M the United States which had existed
since the days Of the great Frederick and
the great Washington.
Every Reason for Mutual Esteem.
both nations" said Count Won Buelow,
have every reason for mutual esteem.
They AVE every interest for living In
peace and friendship based on complete
reciprocity, even IN the most remote future.
MY eye perceives no point where the po-
litical waves Of the German and American
people cross / made this statement In
this hpuae some three years ago. l was
then under the impression that l was in
sympathy with the great majority of this
house. OF this Tam 0 convinced. ! am
not saYihg this for Germany alone, but also
for abroad ! am further convinced that I
also agree with the great. majority OF this
house when I recognize that the German
people have viewed with lively satisfac-
ton the hospitabie, chixalrous and brilliant
reception which the American nation has
accorded he brother Of the German en-
peror."
This imperial chancellor concluded his re-
marks amid applause Count Won Buelow
also assured the Rslchstag. in a somewhat
lengthy speech, that there was not the
slightest likiihood Of Germany taking any
steps OF interfering in the course Of at
fairs in South Africa, Such a course, said
the speaker, was not in accord with Ger
man AhOcACoNH ahu PoAhCys II tho EONtTH~
ment listened TO Herr Gradnauer and his
adherents, he said, It would have to in
tervene not only in South Africa, but In
Armenia, the Philippine Islands and in Fin
land.

In the course Of the budget discussion
in the Reichstag today the imperial
chancellor. Count Won Buelow, in reply
TO questions raised by the vote, asked
for to maintain the German troops
In China. said Germany. had only economic
and not territorial interests In China and
Korea and would not interfere in the quar-
rels Of others,j So far as Germany knew
the only effect OF the Anglo-Japanese con-
vention was to maintain the status quo.
Therefore II did not prejudice German In
terests and did not effect the Anglo-Gsr-
man Yang Use Valley agreement.
Germany only desired the open door. The
telegram from Pekin, published in London.
declaring that Germany sought special
concessions In China, was a canard. Ger
many secured railroad and mining conces-
sions in shang Tung province in 1899. and
she had no wish to acquire more than she
could digest. Germany was not consulted
before the conclusion of the AngIo-Japan
convention. The German government had
been notified OF the birth thereof, but it
was not It's godfather or its father.
The garrisons' in China would be reduced
80 soon as the political situation allowed
this to be done. but the premature recall
Of the troops would put Germany In an
unfavorable position, as she had no base
near China like the other powers. The
vote was adoDted.
