PEKING. Nov 12-It is the concensus
OF opinion in Peking that the emperor of
China is very sick and today he is re-
ported as still sinking He will not accept
western medical attendance.

COUNCIL TO LIMIT KAISER
Meeting of Bundesrath Called for To-
day Causes Speculation.
SECRECY KEPT ABOUT PURPOSE
Assembling of Committee Almost
Forgotten Feature of German Gov"
ernment-statesmen Aroused
over Conditions.

BERLIN. Nov. 12.-The meeting called
today of the foreign affairs committee of
the Bundesrath OF federal council, Is at
tracing much speculation. The circum-
stances preceding the assembling of this
committee, a most unusual step, have given
rise to the inference that the meeting Is
called to take some action with the idea OF
preventing Emperor william from pursuing
an independent course In the foreign affairs
of the empire as we'll as from publicity
Indicating a personal policy differing from
that of his government.
The ministers, president OF the Bavarian,
wurtemburg and Saxon delegations to the
council-the Bundesrsth represents the in
dividual states of the empire; the Reichstag
represents the German nation-arrived in
Berlin for the committee meeting a few
days ago. The assembling OF the commit
tee has come to be an almost forgotten
feature OF the constitutional institutions of
the German empire and It is for this reason
that so much speculation attaches to the
extraordinary proceedings.
tits understood that the meeting is called
at the Instance OF Bavaria, whose minister
president. Baron Won Podewils. will there
fore preside at the sittlngs.
According to newspaper statements LuIt-
pold, the prince regent OF Bavaria, is in
tenseiy exasperated because OF Emperor
williams latest venture into foreign poll
tics in other words, the publication OF the
London Telegraph interview. act which
has resulted in a degree of criticism OF his
majesty for the last two days in the
Reichstag never before equaled. No off
cial statement as to the purpose of the
meeting can be had and a great secrecy
is being observed regarding the entire
matter
