Berlin, Jan. 13.-Following close
after the snub administered to Great
Britain on the subject of the prince
of Wales, earlier in the week (when
the semi-oflicial North German Ga
zette denied that Emperor William
had urged the prince of Wales to
visit Berlin on the occasion of his
majesty's birthday celebration, point
ing out that the prince had been in
vited at the request of King Edward),
the North German Gazette Saturday
pointedly denies that emperor Will
liam will attend either the memorial
service in honor of the late Queen
Victoria or the coronation of King
Edward. The paper says the state
ments of the English papers are I'M
true. Regarding the coronation, the
North German Gazette points out
that 1t is not in accordance with ira
ditional international usage for SOW
ereigns to attend coronation festive
ties of foreign monarchs.
Anger in England,
London, Jan. 13.-The anger of the
English people is rising rapidly with
the repeated attacks on the British
army made in public debate in the Ger
man reichstag. The Times this morn
ing, after declaring that seldom If ever
has friendly nation been so grossly
insulted, warns the kaiser that the
limit of British patience will be over
stepped if Chancellor Won Buelow con-
tinues to wipe his feet on the kings
uniform. The Times says:
'Seldom, II ever. has a friendly nation
been so grossly insulted in foreign par
Lament. and never within our memory has
| insult met with such mild rebuke from the
| representative of a friendly power with
| whom he processes to desire the mainte-
| nance of good relations as Count Won Bue-
| low thought sufficient to inflict on Herr
| Won Sonnenberg. Even brigands and thieves
| may know how to die. What We have a
| right to expect from the minister OF q
friendly state Is definite reputation Of
the calumnies uttered within his hearing.
Limit Nearly Reached.
"With regard, not to the British soldiers
| dead, but to those who are living we must
| state frankly and emphatically that the
| limit of British patience will be over
stepped II Count Won Buelow imagines he
can court British friendship and at the
| same time use the kings uniform, in which
our kinsmen are fighting honorably in
| South Africa, in order to wipe his parlia-
mentary feet upon 1t"
Attack in German Reichstag.
Berlin, Jan. 13.-Another savage at
tack was made on Joseph Chamberlain
during the budget debate in the reich
stag Friday. Herr Lebermann Won
Sonnenberg, whose hatred of English
men and Jews is coequal, delivered a
furious TRADE against England and
Mr.. Chamberlain.
Calls Chamberlain a scoundrel.
| Criticising the recent advocacy oil
friendship with Great Britain by the
new German ambassador at London
the speakers wrath overfiowed, but
finally focused itself upon Mr.. Cham
berlain. He shouted: "In dealing will
those who calumniate the Fatherlant
we must shake our clinched fists un
der their insolent noses. AS Germans
see in Chamberlain the representative
of clique of stock iobbers and specu
lators and the instigator of disgrace
full robber war, he is in their eyes tn
most infamous scoundrel on the fac
of Gods EARTH"
Army Of Thieves and Bandits.
President Won Ballestrom hereupol
instantly called the speaker to order

. replied that he expected to be Gale
to order, but there was no other fiji

tack the British army as a horde Q
thieves and bandits.
) Rebuked by Won Buelow.
: Chancellor Won Buelow arose an
J rebuked the speaker. All but tn
small anti-Semite section applaude
him. The chancellor said he believe
: he would have the sympathy of tn
house in expressing the hope that tn
custom Of abusing foreign minister
.. in the reichstag would not be nat

: accordance with the habits of Gel

: nor in the interest of German polio.
. This statement elected cheers. Coz
tinuing, the chancellor said he mus
also express the deepest regret fo
the manner in which Herr Liebe1
