Wilmington, Del, June 10Th
The color line has had its oddest
application as a result of the find
ing of the several skeletons in the
sand pits at Newport. Many of
the bones are considered to be
those of slaves who died "a century
ago, while others contend that they
are probably the remains of white
people, Coroner Galloway, who
has to bury the skeletons anew, is
in dilemma as to where he
should inter them. The portion of
the community that clings to the
slave theory objects to the bones

The other side objects to their des-
ecration, as those of whites, by be-
ing consigned to the colored cem-
etery. The Coroner does not know
what to do.

The music stopped. and some one claimed Annabel

Madeline had few partners; she oftener in her

what manner"

Berlin, NOV. l7.--An interview be.
tween Chancellor Won BuelOw and En-
peror William, held at the new palace
in PotsGam this morning, resulted in a
satisfactory understanding. His mai
esty expressed his complete confidence
in the chancellor and the chancellor
will remain in office. Furthermore
the Emperor accepted the proposals
made by the prince concerning the fu-
ture conduct of state affairs.
The result is believed TO have ameli-
grated the serious international situa-
ton which has existed in Germany for
the past fortnight.
This meeting which was watched bv
the entire German people with the most
profound interest, is an outcome OF the
much discussed "interview' with an
Englishman published in the London
Daily Telegraph on oct. 2S, in which
the Emperor was criticised With a very
frank statement of the world policy Of
the German empire, and also of being
Il very good friend to Great britain.
The publication in Germany against
HIS Majesty. He was the most severe
~ criticized in the German press ard in
the Reichstag for his indiscreton, his
assumption of the Royal prerogativc
and for unwarranted interference in
the state affairs of the nation.
Prince Won Buelow replied to these
criticisms in the Reichstag and said
that the Emperor in the future would
refrain from a repetition of his unpopu-
lar course of action.
During the meeting of today the
chacellor explained clearly to His
Majesty the temper of the German peo-
pie of this matter. Whether or not
the chancellor remained in office de-
pended on how the Emperor accepted
his statements.
The Reichsranziger, the official ga
zette of the empire, will publish tonight
with the sanction of the Emperor. the
following statement:
I'm the cource of his audience grant
ed today by the Emperor to Chance
lor Won Buelow the chancellor de-
scribad to the Emperor the mood of the
nation and explained his position with
reference to the debate in the Reich
stag of last Tuesday. The Emperor
listened to these explanations with
great earnestness, and expressed his
VIII as follows:
Needless of the obvious incorrect
exaggerations His Majesty considered
his principal aim to be to secure the
continuance of the imperial policies un-
der the safeguard of constitutional
responsibilities; he approved the chan
cellor's address in the Reichstag and
assured the prince of his continued
ontidence."
