 Bills.

Berlin, Nov l9-Tho emperor's moods have always been an object of study from hour to hour by the members of his official household, and they have been carefully, almost painfully watch ed during recent days The results of these observations, with partial re- port of the emperOr's conversations, have been transmitted to widening cir- cles outside the court, so that tho up- per bureaucratic and diplomatic ohl- tlals are tolerably well informed as to the emperor's personal view on the events which havc been SO greatly agitating the country.
 The prevailing feeling among the members of the emporors suite is one Of resentment at thc popular outburst against him and there js no disposi- lion 10 sympathize with it or excuse it The emperor is described as feeling that in the language of the note he au- thorized to Inc published in the Reich sanzoger, he did not go beyond his oath, when he took the crown to faith fully observe the constitution. He simply read1rmed that pledge to Chan cellor Nou Buelow while under critic Ism which the Reichsanzelger defines as exaggerated and incorrect The emperor regards his hereditary and constitutional relation to Prussia and to the federated states as unchanged.

 With reference to d question nf the revenues he declares that q borrowing policy vas unworthy of German prog Eross and industry but Inc added that. although abln. tho Germans were not willing to pay more taxes He praised the Brifish and French methods of finance, and said that one of tue most important questions of thc moment was the abolition of tho loan policy fol- lowed up to tho present hN the gov erumeui of the omuire.
