REGARD KAISER
WITH AVERSION
EMPEROR is ISOLATED FROM
PEOPLE
Radical Leader Declares Present De-
veIopment Is but One of Many
Toward Political Education
of Subjects


BERLIN, Nov. 1S.-The results of the
representations made to Emperor Will
liam yesterday by Chancellor Won
Buelow and the consequent imperial
pledge to keep both speeches and acts
within close constitutional grounds are
measured in colder mood by the people
of Germany today. The emperor is
still much isolated from the sympathies
of both the upper and lower levels of
society.
The talk among the friends of the
chancellor and the ministers today Is
that they must wait and see how the
emperor acts when the next keenly in
teresting public question comes up.
Doubt exists as to whether, at the age
of so. the emperor's impulsive and CAN
did disposition can be so modified by
the events of the past fortnight that he
will depart from a practice he has fol-
lowed during the twenty years of his
reign.
Prince Won Buelow and his party will
pursue an opportune policy, affirming
resolutely that the imperial conduct
will faithfully follow the imperial word.
The conservative and monarchial
opinion in the country is resisting the
movement to travel too fast politically.
The official declaration made today
by Count Won Hohenthal, Saxon min
lister Of foreign affairs. in the lower
house of the Saxon parliament to the
effect that the foreign affairs commit
tee of the bundesrath, or federal coun-
ell, should meet oftener in order to SUI
pervise the acts of both the emperor
and his chancellor, apparently repre-
sents the joint opinion of Bavaria,
Wurtemburg and Saxony.
Agreement Mutual
These governments have agreed mu-
tually to avail themselves of the for
eign affairs committee of the bundles
rath in order to share in the direction
of foreign affairs.
Speaking today of the existing stu
alton, DIR. Theodore Barth, a Radical
leader in the reichstag, said: This is
only the first step in what will be the
prolonged political education of the
German people for full parliamentary
government The situation is confused.
An effort will be made to perpetuate
the same relations between the crown
and the people as existed before. As
surances such as those given yesterday
will quiet public opinion for the mo-
ment, or until some fresh occasion for
action arises"
DR. Ferdinand Grautoff. editor in
chief, in the Leipsiger Neuste Mach
richten, an influential Liberal paper,
acclaims the new regime" in these
WOIuSs
1.-THE German people are awake and
they win not slumber again. Their
true monarchical duty is to protect the
wearer of the crown against his own
mistakes. The people recognize their
rights and feel their strength. They
have a national consciousness and out
of that will blossom a new life"
The executive committee of the So
cailist party has authorized the Vor-
waerts to describe the recent occur
rences as having begun with a scan
dial, then driven forward under great
excitement" and as having ended in a
compromise with the government"
1.-The empire is still administered by
absolute bureaucracy" this paper con-
tinued, and cit is still governed by a
single, unlimited head. The decision
of court cliques, made in secret, are
carried out by plant chancellor, who
derives his power from the sovereign
and who still remains in office"
Today was observed as a national
day of penitence and prayer. The
clergymen in many of the state
churches in their morning services
thanked heaven that the gathering po-
litical clouds had disappeared.
