IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR - EN-
PERoR'S ACTION Is APPLAUpEp
THROUGHOUT THE EMPIRE.

BERLIN, Nov. 17-After a confer.
ence which lasted an hour and which
was held in the new palace at Pots
dam this afternoon, 1t was OH cially
stated that Emperor William had Civ
en- assurances to his confrere, Chancel
popular sentiment. This virtually
means that the kaiser will submit to
certain proposals put to him through
the chancellor by the Reichstag. In
common parlance 1t will end his med.
ding In state affairs.
1t was further announced that Count
Won Buelow will continue to act as
the imperial chancellor, thus preclud-
ing the possibility OF the emperor's
placing a favorite military man In this
exalted position. 1t 10 thought that
the arrangement will be satisfactory
TO all Germans and that 1t will allay
the dissatisfied feeling which has ex-
listed for several weeks.
Had the emperor stood Arm for his
absolutism, even his fawning cour-
tiers were afraid to forecast the out
cone. for 1t would have precipitated
a direct clash between the emperor
and the empire.
The emperor did not yield without
struggle. The meeting between the
chancellor, who, in this instance, act.
ed as the tribune of the people rather
than the representative of his ruler
and the kaiser was dramatic In the
extreme.
Worn and nervous and with none of
the old defiance that he used to fash
In every look, the kaiser listened to
the unvarnished truth boldly and mer-
cilessly related by his chancellor. It
was n new experience In his life.
1T was the bitterest hour OF my
life." the emperor said. YEARLY after
the conference had ended.
Public opinion everywhere applauds
the emperor's decision and where
"A hours ago there was general revile-
ment OF him today he Is TIE object of
greater esteem than at any other time
In his life.

triumph for Won Buelow, as great a
Triumph as ever Prince Bismarck,
