ENGLAND IS DEEPLY HURT
German Chancellor R0undly
 Scored by The Times.
Says That a Definite Repudiation of Columnies Cast Upon the Brit ish Army Was Expected
 by England.

London, Jan. 11-Count von Buelow's second speech has quite failed to appease the English press. The Times puts the matter most strongly and says. with ref- erence to the speeches, of Herr Leber- mann and Sonnenberg: Seldom, if ever, has a friendly nation been so grossly insulted in foreign parliament, and never within our memory has insult met with such rebuke from the representa- tives of friendly power with whom he professes to desire the maintenance of good relations as Count von Buelow thought sufficient to infiict on Herr won Sonnenberg.
 Even brigands and thieves may know how to die. What we have a right to expect from the minister of a friendly State is a definite repudiation of the ca lumnies uttered within his hearing. 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 stopped if Count von Buelow imagines he can court British friendship, but at the same time use the Kings uniform in which our kinsmen are fighting honor ably in South Africa, in order to wipe his parliamentary feet upon it.
 Berlin, Jan. 10.--The Chancellor, Count von Buelow, in the Reichstag today, mak- ing a general reply to preceding speak CTS. said:
 T believe I shall be in sympathy with very great majority of the House when I express the hope that the custom of abusing foreign ministers from the trib- une of this august house will not become naturalized among us. That would &C., cord neither with usages of the German people, nor the interests of our policy. (Cheers). must at the same time ex- E sr sss by deep regret 1t the way i1 which Herr Liebermann has referred 10 the army of a nation with which we live in peace and friendly. As we ourselves arc sensitive concerning the honor of our own army, so We should not abuse for eign armies in which there are brave men enough who know how to die" (Bravos).
 Count von Buelow strongly deprecated the contention of Herr Bassermann. that the official press ought to have given the lead to public opinion in dealing with MT. Chamberlain's speech.
 'Our press and public opinion." said the Chancellor, would stand in very low repute if, in questions of national honor, they stood in need of q word of command from above."
 Protesting against the idea that repu- diation of an aspersion of the army should affect a change of policy, he said:
 If this repudiation is to be an excuse for forcing upon us a different attitude in regard to the war in South Africa, or a pretext for bringing about unfriendly relations between our people and people towards whom we have never stood in hostility, and to whom we are bound by weighty interests, wish to leave it be- wound doubt that will have nothing to not let the direction of our foreign policy be prescribed for us by speeches, resolu- tions or popular meetings, That policy can only be determined by the real and permanent interests of the country and that inteerst requires us. while fully safeguarding our independence, dignity and honor, to cultivate peaceful and friendly relations with Great Britain"
 The Chancellor expressed his approval of the recent speech made by Prince von Wolff -Metternich, the German Ambassa- dor at Hamburg. advocating more cordial relations with Great Britain had not been rendered easier by the Chamberlain incl dent and hoped that in the future they would be spared such episodes, which did not conduce to the preservation of peace in the world.
 Count Von Buelow also expressed regret for some sighting remarks made by Herr Liebermann concerning the internal af- fairs of Austria
