FAMOUS INTERVIEW
PROVES SATISFACTORY
Kaiser William Today Promises the
Chancellor That He viii Be
Good Hereafter.
1T MEANS MUCH FOR GERMANY
[By Associated Press. I

Berlin. Nov. 1 - he interview
between Chancellor Won Buelow and
Emperor William held at the new
palace at Potsdam this morning, re-
suited in satisfactory understand
ing. His majesty expressed complete
confidence in the Chancellor and the
Chancellor will remain in office.
Furthermore, the Emperor accepted
proposals made by the Prince con-
cerning future conduct of state af-
fairs. The result is believed to have
ameliorated very serious interna-
tional situation which existed in Ger
many for the last fortnight.
The meeting, which was watched
by the entire German people with
most profound interest, is the out
come of the much discussed inter
view with an Englishman published
in the London Daily Telegraph. on
October %. in which the Emperor
was credited with a Very frank state
ment of the world policy of the Ger
man Empire and also with being a
good friend of Great Britain. The
publication WIS followed by furious
outbreak in German against his ma
jesty.
He was most severely criticised in
the German press and in the reich
stag for his ind scretiCn and unwar-
ranted interference in the state af-
fairs of the nation.
During the meeting today the
chancellor explained clearly TO his
majesty the temper of the German
people on this matter, aud asked for
declaration. with permission to pub
lish the same, to the effect that in
the future the emperor would deal
with state affairs only through the
existing constitutional channels,
namely. through the chancellor.
His majesty acceded to this re-
quest, and the declaration appears in
the Reichanzeiger today.

San Francisco. Nov. 1.-THE trial

Ruef was elected by the police.
The prosecution this morning pre-
sented counter affidavits to those of
the defense filed yesterday in support
OF their motion for change of venue,
alleging 1t impossible to secure fair
trial owing to the inflamed condition
of the public mind. The assertions
we're answered today in affidavits by
Rev G. N. Latbrop, Rev. William
RAIDER, Attorney Matt l.. Sullivan,
John w. sweeney. Assistant District
Attorney John Ogara and several par
ticipants in the mass meeting held
Saturday and Sunday.
These affidayits went to show that
no disposition exists in this city not
10 give Ruef a fair and impartial trial
and that The Citizens League of Jus
tice was not organized to encourag ge
VimdictariVe action against Ruef but
TO expedite justice and counteract
the ptowth of evil public sentiment.
The pffidavits unite in declaring no
reason exists why Ruef cannot be as
