Berlin. Nov 11.-Emperor William
never has been so severely judged by
his parliament as he was during The
debate in the reichstag on the inter
pellau0ns concerning the conversa
tious published with the permission of
the emperor in the London Daily Iele
graph on oct. IS. The criticisms of bis
maiesty's court bis ministers and his
maiesty's treatment OF the consiin.
tion. as well as Of HIS freedom of
speech. went TO lengths that astonisl-
ed observers acquainted with the ira
diti0nal caution Of the chamber in
dealing with the personality of Che
sovereign. And the emperor seemed 90
have no defenders
Chancellor Won Buelow made an all
dress lasting fifteen 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 emperor that neither himself nor
his successors could remain in office
unless bis majesty was more reserved.
Prince Won Buelow spoke solemnly
and without making use OF any dra-
matte effects The house received his
explanation in fey silence instead OF
giving it that cordial applause which
as a general thing follows the chan.
cellors fine parliamentary deolara
tions.
The Conservatives. representing
largely the landed nobility, were al.
most as relentless as the Socialists
the Radicals and the National-Liber
ais and the proceedings are regarded
bv the extreme Liberals as the begin
ming of long contest between the
crown and parliament that may end 10
Germany having a ministry RESPONSE
bic 90 parliament and not 90 The crown
alone.
When Herr Bassermann the Ma
tionalLiberal leader. friend OF Chan
cellor Won Buelow's and a specialist
IN foreign affairs. began discussion ol
the incident there was hardly vacant
seat on the members benches.
Herr Rassermann was followed bl
Herr Wclmer Radical and be 10 turn
gave way 10 Herr Singer, Socialist
who declared that II any other servant
of the state had done such a thing al

mont and the emperor. Tie calmly and
briefly explained the circumstance %
the publication OF the emperor's inter
view re said he had decided TO re
main as chancellor but he could no
say for how long. He then said.
Concerning the statements attrt

10 Great Britain. the expression use
bv the Telegraph IS too strong ser.ou
and regrettable misunderstanding
have existed between Great Br.tai
and Germany but the German peorl

with that empire Joined with muiua
respect
"Too great stress also Is laid upo

about East Asia except for the pm
