 The speech refers to the conclusion of the South African war and adds:
 There seems to be every reason to hope that material prosperity greater than the Transvaal or Orange River Colonies yet have experienced may yet visit the re- zion, and that the population may live together in friendship for each other and loyalty to the crown
 Parsgra phs deal with the postponed cor onation, the colonial conference and Co., lonial Secretary Chamberlain's tour which together are expected to be, "of the utmost value. both in respect to their immediate effect and as precedents in the future"
 Other topics touched upon were the expedition against the Mad Mullah ana the cooperation of Italy therein. the ac- ceptance by Chile and Argentina Of the British boundary award, the Brussels sugar convention and the alliance be- tween Great Britain and Japan. which. the King believes. will he advantageous to both countries, and will contribute to the maintenance of general peace in the extreme East.

WILL SEIZE NO LAND.
Germany Has No Idea of Occupying
 Territory.

Berlin, Dec. 1S.-Aside from the finan- cial claims mentioned in her ultimatun, Germany expects some form of apology for the diplomatic insults which the foreign office says, are more serious and more gross than those of which Great Britain complains. The foreign office of- ficials point out that Premier Balfcur's remark yesterday evening in the House of Commons about Germany having other than financial claims must be understood as applying to diplomatic reparation for the insults and not to a material indem- nity, like money or territory.
 The foreign office Is again calling atten- tion to the suspicious in the United States lest Germany effect a landing in Vene- zuela. It says a refutation of such sus- picions ought to be perceived in the slender forces at the disposition of Ger many. There are scarcely 300 men who could be spared from the squadron, not a sufficient number to take La Guayra, let alone form an expedition to the in- terior.
 It is not settled whether the notifica- ton of the commencement of the blockade will be made public in Berlin and Lon- don simultaneously or take the form of a communication from the two command CTS of the squadrons to the Venezuelan authorities. The publication will appa- rently be delayed a day or two.
 The foreign officials say that the reply to venezuslan's arbitration proposals has not yet been sent. The foreign office is still exchanging views on the subject with London. Although the foreign ofice does not give the least hint of the character of Germany's reply. 1t seems certain that arbitration will not be accepted, though the refusal may be accompanied by fresh suggestions.
 The Cologne Gazette is an evidently in- spired statement today, sndeavors to allay the uneasiness regarding Germany's actions in Venezusla, which, according e practically all the special dispatches com ing from America, prevails in the United States. There are no facts" says the statement, Ito support the distrust of Germany expressed in many quarters.
 '"The government of the United States knows well that Germany thinks as little of seizing Venezuelan territory as of planting her flag on the mountain of the moon. Even if we could annex Vens- zuela without protest from the United States we would forego so doing as com plications with the United States would be bound to follow. Germany does not think of waging a land war. She be- lieves she can force her just demands by means of a blockade.
 'srhe real cause of her action was the robbery and plunder in the guise of war contributions to which our country men were exposed. Payment of our claims arising therefrom is our first de- mand. Then we insist on q settlement of the question of Venezuela's relations with the great Venezuelan railroad and ask that the banks claims be submit ted to the consideration of a mixed com mission. In fact, the Germany Govern ment proceeded, in spite of all provoca- ton, with the greatest patience and moderation"
