 never had been so severely pudged by parliament as he was today during
 the debate in Reichstag on interpella- tions Concerning conversations publish
 ed with the permission of the emperor
 in the London Daily Telegraph of Oc- tober 2S.
 Criticism of his majesty, the court,
 his ministers and his majesty's treat ment of men as well as of his freedom of speech went to lengths that aston ished observers acquainted with tradi- uonal caution of the chamber in deal ing with the personality of the sov- ereign. The emperor seemed to have no defenders.
 Chancellor VOn Buelow made an ad- dress lasting 15 minutes, but he lacked his usual spirit, and a person high in his confidence is authority for the statement that he also had told the em- peror that neither himself nor his sue cessors could remain in office unless his majesty was more reserved. Prince Won Buelow spoke solemnly and with out making use of dramatic efforts The house received his explanations with icy silence.
 Prince Won Buelow spoke earnestly in reply to the criticism of the govern ment and the emperor.
 He said: 'I must weigh my words because of the effect they will have abroad. I do not wish to add fresh prejudice to the damage Already caused by the publication in the Daily Tele- graph. I assume that the details given therein are not all correct and l am certain the story of detailed plan of the campaign to end the Boer war is not right This plan consisted merely of some academic ideas concerning the conduct of the war in general, which the emperor conveyed to Queen Vic toria in the courst of their correspon- dence and it was without practical sig nificance for the operations then going on, or for the end of the war
 We must defend our policy during the Boer- war against accusation and equivocatiOn. We gave timely warning to, the BOers that they would be alone against England and that there was no doubt regarding the result.
 'The facts with reference to the questions of intervention have long been public property and whether a communication of these to Queen Vic toria constituted a violation of diplo- matic rules depends upon circumstan- ces unknown to the public.
 Concerning the statement attributed to Emperor William, that a majority of the German people were hostile to Great Britain, the expression used by the Telegraph is too strong. Serious and regrettable misunderstanding eX- isted between Great Britain and Ger many, but the German people desire a peaceful and friendly relation with that empire, joined with mutual re- spect.
 Too great stress also is laid upon the point in the interview dealing with our interests in the Pacific ocean, which are incorrectly presented as in- mical to Japan. We never thought about east Asia except for the purpose of obtaining a portion of the trade aris- ing from it's economic development, and we have no idea, of undertaking mari time adventure there. Any extension of the German fleet is just as little in tended for aggression in the Pacific ocean as in Europe. The task in Ger manys policy is not to limit the deVel- opment of Japan.
 For twenty years the emperor has striven to improve our relations with Great Britain, often by difficult cir The people of both coun- tries have occasionally attacked each other without real justification, and the emperor considered this a misfortune for both, and a danger to the civilized T 1fgtfn thoughts, purposes and efforts, often without reason, have caused doubt to arise Some have gone so far as to imply secret designs against Great Britain in connection with the fleet, but these are entirely false.
 "A recognition by his majesty of the misunderstanding of his with reference to Great Bri tain and the excitement and regret aroused thereby in Germany will, I am lead the emperor in future private conversations to exercise that reserve which, in the interest of the uniform policy and authority of the crown is indispensable.
 If this proves not to be so, neither I nor any of my successors could take the responsibility. I have accepted the blame for the publication of the article in the Daily Telegraph and offered my resignation and it was the most diffi- cult task in my political life to remain. in office. How long I will continue there, I. do not know, but consider it my duty at this difficult period to-cOn-- tinue to serve the emperor and the nation"
