Berlin. Nov. 14.-Chancellor von Buelow, from the place in the Reich stag where he fell unconscious several months ago, spoke forty-flve minutes today on Germany's foreign relations to a highly interested and distin- guished audience.
 Immediately after Prince von Bue- low had entered the house and bowed his acknowledgements of the applause, the PresideAt of the house called the Reichstag to order.
 Herr Bassermann, National Liberal, following up his question of yester- day, asking for information regardlng g the country's foreign relations. said that since Prince Bismarck left Ger many respected and loved by her neighbors, the country's foreign pol icy had entered on $ period of jour- neys, speeches, telegrams and courte~ sies. a period of unsteadiness which caused disduiet, not only at home but abroad. One must acknowledge, he added, that the position of a directing statesman was more difficult today than formerly, because of "the many uncontrollable influences tnat dis turbed the manaEement or the b0si- ness"
 Herr Rassermann then alluded to the reports that a group of spiritualists have influence at court, saying from what one had read during the last few days, the suggested spirituaiis- tic romances and back stairs history reminded one of the Byzantine period with it's hatterers, or the cabinet gov ernment of William III. or the cabal under Emperor Wilhelm ""
 This statement was greeted with cries of Quite right" from various parts of the chamber.
 Herr Bassermann then described Germany's position among her neigh bors as isolated, saying she had no firm friends, not even Italy or Aus tria.
 vOn BueIow Replies.
 Chancellor von Buelow's reply was marked by his old-time clearness of enunciation and harmonious succession Of sentences, but there was less vivac- ity and lightness of style than form erly.
 After thanking the members of the house for their expressions of sym pathy during his iIlnesS, the Chancel- Tor went at once into hts subject. Re- ferring first to the reiations between Germany and France. che Chancellor related conversation which he had with the late Leon Gampetta, in which the French statesman said:
 rance has sunk to her knees"
 Won Buelow's reply was; Up and forward"
 The emotions of France, the Chan cellor added, were like a thermometer with a pressure of the hsnd the quinksilver rUse or fell.
 'T may remark here" he continued that this vivacity of French patriot ism Is very Rtron9. as Is the ambition of the French people, and also the tra ditional brilliant qualities of our neigh bors, which require us to be aleft an, armed"
 The Chancellor, continuing, remarked T hope and believe can say that ", all, without distinction of party, righ and left. know that the number O thoughtful Frenchmen who reject tn, idea of a war Of aggression agains Germany !s increasing"
 Turning to the subject of Frencl friendships, the Chancellor said:
 Would Not Intervene.
 T wish to note with emphasis tha we do not think of pressing in be tween France and Russia, nor betweef France and Great Britain. It Is un thinkable that a disturbance of thu friendship between the western DOW CTS should be the object of our opeI or secret exertions. The good reIa. have not affected the Franco Russ,an alliance, and in the same manner tht good relations existing between Ger, many and. Great Britain, when the pur. poses of that understanding are peace full.
 "An understanding between tht western powers without the mainten. ance of good relations with Germany
