KAISER YIELDS TO
NATIONS DEMAND
Promises People That in Future
He Will Not Act Except
Through Ministers.
Won BUElOW RETAINS OFFICE
German People Believe Great Step
Has Been Taken Toward
Freer Government.

Berlin, Nov. 18.-Forced by the an
cry tide of popular feeling that swept
the empire from end to end, Emperor
William yesterday yielded to the ma
ton and promised henceforth to con-
form himself to constitutional meth
DDS of conducting the policies of Ger
many.
The climax to the public utterances
of the emperor was reached in an in
terview which he gave to an English
man and which was published in the
London Daily Telegraph on Oct. %.
AS the outcome of this the whole
country was aroused; the reichstag
Endorsed the attitude of many of it's
prominent members when they
Denounced the Sovereign,
and Chancellor Won Buelow, while he
attempted to smooth away the affair,
undertook to communicate to his maj
esty straightforward and unvarnish-
ed statement of how the German peo-
pie viewed his intervention in affairs
of state.
The interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
at the new palace in Potsdam yester-
day morning, and at its conclusion the
emperor made formal promise to his
people that in the future he would not
act except through the chancellor and
his associate ministers. This promise
was made public in the Reichsanzet-
ger, the official gazette Of the empire.
Confidence in Chancellor.
Prince Won Buelow had determined
upon handing in his resignation if the
emperor had not met the country's de-
mands, but as such a situation did not
arise, the audience ended with the
emperor saying to the imperial chan
cellor that he Teposed full confidence
in his wisdom.
Within half an hour after the chan
cellOr's return to Berlin bulletins
were issued by the evening papers re-
porting a favorable issue of the meet
ing between the emperor and prince
and were eagerly snatched up by an
anxious public, who in the first mo-
ceived the Importance Of the an
nouncement to themselves and the en-
pire
The whole nation had awaited with
breathleSS suspense the word from
the place which would decide whether
Prince Won Buelow would quit his of
fee and the "reign of personal policy"
continue, or whether the chancellor
would remain and the desire of the
people be fulfilled, that the nation as
we'll as the emperor would have a
word in directing the policies Of the
country. 1t is certain now in the
minds of the German people that a
great step has been taken toward
freer government.
Dynamite for Kaiser.
Frankfort-on-the-M Main, Nov. 10. -
Rumors were current here yesterday
that an attempt had been made to
blow up the train on which Emperor
William jOurneyed from Donaueschin-
gen to Berlin. On both Sunday and
Monday a dynamite cartridge was

at Muhlein between Frankfort and
Hanau. The cartridges were not
found on the tracks over which the
imperial train was to pass, but on the
tracks paralleling these.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says that
the cartridges were from a neighbor-
ing quarry and were rendered harm
less by the weather, as the dynamite
was ruined. Experts, the paper says,
rejected the idea that any attempt
against the life of the emperor was
