EXPLANATION OF
CHANCELLOR'S ACT
How the Report Was Tossed About
From One to Another, Finally
Landing In Newspaper.

BERLIN, Nov 6.-Chancellor Won
Buelow's explanation of the publica-
tion of Emperor Williams recent state
ment concerning Germany's position in
her relations with Great Britain dur
ing the Boer war, is in effect that the
emperor asked his advice as to the
wisdom of making the statement pub
lie; that the chancellor sent 1t to the
foreign office for consideration; that
the manuscript was only to look into
the historical accuracy of the data
contained therein. The statement was
later returned to the chancellor's office
during his absence His secretaries
failed to draw his attention to the SER
ious character of the matter, and it
eventually fell into the hands of a rep.

WANT TO SEND
BRYAN TO SENATE
Reason Said to be the Desire to Get
Him Out of the Presidential
Race.

LINCOLN, Nov. ga boom for
Bryan for United States senator from
Nebraska is not confined TO this state
alone but taken up by the democratic
leaders in all parts of the country.
They will use the strongest influence
Oh Nebraska legislature in 1911 to
give the commoner the toga. Today
Mack wired Vice Chairman Hall ask
ing if the Nebraska legislature would
elect senator at the coming session
Hall replied no. The Bryan forces
were encouraged by the victory at the
polls in this state and have already
begun to prepare the ground for a
democrat legislature two years hence,
when successor to Senator Burkett
will be chosen. That Bryan would
rather be senator than president is
frequently said. The democrats have
strong hope of making his wish true.
The republicans here say the anxiety
of the democrat national leaders to
get Bryan in the senate is inspired
by the eagerness to get him out as a
presidential factor.

SENATOR DOLLIVER
ON THE ELECTION
Senior Senator Sees the End of Fac.
tional Strife in Iowa Sen
atorship Settled.

FORT DODGE, Iowa, Nov. g.
Election returns are very gratifying
to me- said Senator Dolliver last
evening.
The overwhelming election of Mr..
Taft shows that the road to the presi-
dency does not lie in the organization
of the discontented of the country and
the invention of political remedies for
evils of society, but records of good
work we'll done. Even the eloquence
of Mr.. Bryan is unequaled to the turn
ing of our politics into land OF
dreams
TT ought to be very satisfactory to
the people of Iowa that the primary
settles the senatorial questions by
majority so decisive as to place the
matter beyond dispute. The people
have voted for Governor Cummins
against as good and as strong an OPP
ponent as could have been chosen for
the honor against him. This vote set
ties the election of next January and
the republicans of Iowa ought to be
grateful that the personal and fac
tional fight of the party Is at an end"

received by several of the Washington
avenue wholesale houses yesterday

once.
My firm has one order for 100000
worth of printed cloths with the Amer
lean Print company Of Fall River,
Mass, said the president of one of the
largest Of the Washington avenue dry
goods houses yesterday. The order
was to have been cancelled had Bryan
won. 1t was placed through Bliss, Fab
Ian & Co., of New York, representing
the Fall River company. ] knew that
several other dry good houses had
similar orders placed with the Amerl-
can company, which is one Of the
largest manufacturers Of blue calico

mate that these orders aggregated
$500,000 In all other departments

BURGLARIES IN
NEW YORK CITY
Reports Show That Only Seven Per
Cent of the Booty is
Recovered.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-While its
guardians of the peace are squabbling
as to the best way of protecting their
municipal patient that patient-Father
Kinckerbocker--is suffering tae usual
result. Burglary and larceny are be-
coming uncomfortably frequent now,
totaling over $4,000 cases annually
while the value of the booty is nearly
S16,0Oo,oOO.
Brought down to daily basis, New
York has nearly 100 robberies every
twenty-four hours, this being at the
rate of one every fifteen minutes of
the day and night Nor are these
petty affairs in which property of lit
tie value is involved. The average
value of each lot of loot taken by
burglars and thieves is $3.50. or more
than many honest folks earn in a year.
Every hour marks the theft of $4,000
worth of property and every day that
of nearly s5O0,OO0 worth.
In spite of the fact that these rob-
berries reach $4,000 annually, the aver
age annual number of arrests has been
only 1,764 or just about one for twen-
ty offenses. or those arrested only one
in four is convicted, so that the chan
ces in favor of the burglar would seem
to be about so to i. 1t is said that
under the present police system only
Z per cent of stolen property is re-
covered

re,ls Cincinnati Business Men What
to Expect and Sounds the Key
note CT Prosperity For
the Country.
NO UNJUST ASSAULTS
4Every Business Man Who is obeyins
the Law Must Go Ahead With
All the Energy in His
Possession

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 6.-Speaking
to the Cincinnati Commercial club, of
which he has been member foc fif-
teen years, Taft last night brought
member of the club to their feet in an
address sounding the keynote of pros
perity for the country for the next
four years.
Every business man who is obeying
the law may go ahead with all the en-
ergy in his possession every enter
Prise which is within the statutes may
proceed without fear of interference
from the administration, when acting
legally; but all interests within the
jurisdiction of the federal government
nav expect rigid enforcement of the
laws against dishonest methods, 7"
was the keynote of what Taft said
business men are to be shown
lines of legality" he said, "and are to
be directed in keeping within the lines
Of legality, which lines have been
emphasized during the last four years.
Business men shall know they are to
conform to the laws upon the statute
books. and that no favors are to be
expected for those who break them.
"This shall be so that men who
conduct legitimate business may un-
derstand that the government is back
OF them, and does not intend to do
anything to interfere with their legi-
innate advancement. 1t is question
Of definite knowledge of the statutes
and of their clear understanding Which
shall make honest progress OF our
business possible. And that is, in my
belief all that is necessary to make
that progress substantial and endur-
ing"

New Entangiement.
DEMANDING NEW DEAL
Failure to Foresee Ultimate Triumph
of the Young Turk Movement
Puts Country in Embaras-
sing Position.

BERLIN, Nov. 6.-The Germans to-
day are demanding new deal in
the foreign office. Beginning with the
loss of prestige in Turkish affairs
through the failure of Germany to
foresee the ultimate triumph of the
young Turk movement eliminating in
the Casa Blanca fiasco, Germany has
had the worst of every international
complication. Recognizing the impetu-
osity of the Emperor, the greater
need of diplomats in Germany than any
of the other great chancelories, the
German people love peace. They argue
it is better to clean house than let
the laundering continue to point
where Germany will be either compell-
ed to fight or withdraw; disgraced
from the new ENHANCEMENT.
A Bold Newspaper Declaration.
BERLIN, Nov. 6.-The elimination
OF the weak protest against the diplo.
matte crises of Emperor William came
today in daring declaration by Har
den, editor of the Die Zuekunft. that
tbe iNdloSi CUID lne leDuGncX OF the
controversial politics or abdicate the
German throne. The utterance is con
sidered the boldest that has ever ap
peared in German newspaper. and
produced sensation.
Harden's attack is being widely
quoted by the papers over the enl
pire. Harden said in part: Does
the Emperor desire to renounce the
throne? His grandfather contemr;at-
ed abdictation in a less serious crisis
and one not brought by his own fault
The emperor must not be blind to tile
fact his fellow countrymen are against
both him and his chancellor. Neither
! Chancellor Won Buello or his success.
sor can retain the Office without n
pledge from the Emperor that he will
limit his share in the government.
The future of Germany must demand
this. The House of Hohenzollern
must demand it too in this cruelty
grave hour. Otherwise II would be tou
| late.
