EMPEROR WILLIAM,

The interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
yesterday and at its conclusion the
emperor made formal promise to his
people. that he would not in the future
act except through the chancellor and
his associate ministers. This promise
WAS made public in The Reichsanzeiger.

was In the form of note, printed on
the front page. where DEGREES. the
texts or treaties and the PRONUNCIATION
of new laws usually appear. 1t was
as follows:
During todays audience granted to
the imperial chancellor his majesty,
the emperor and king. listened for sew
eral hours to report by Prince Won
Buelow. The imperial chancellor de-
scribed the feeling and its causes among
the German people in connection with
the article published in The Daily Tele
graph. He also explained the position
he had taken during the course of the
debates and interpretations on this sub
ject in the reichstag. His majesty, the
emperor, received the statements and
explanations with great earnestness
and then expressed his will as follows
"'Heedless Of the exaggerations of
public criticism, which are regarded by
him as incorrect. his majesty perceives
that his principal imperial task is to
insure the stability of the policies of
The empire under the guardianship Of
constitutional responsibilities. In con-
formity Herewith. his ma iesty, the en-
peror, approves the chancellor's utter
ances in the reichstag and assures
Prince Won Buelow of his continued
confidence"
Prince Won Buelow had determined
upon handing in his resignation if the
emperor had not met the country's de-
nIands but as such situation did not
arise, the audience ended with the en-
peror saying to the chancellor that he
reposed full confidence in his wisdom

were eagerly snatched by an anxious
ful surprise scarcely conceived the i'm
prrtance OF the announcement to them
selves and the empire. The whole ma
tion had awaited with breathless sus-
rense the word from the palace which
would decide whether Won Buelow
would quit his office and the "reign OF
personal policy" continue or whether
the chancellor would remain and the de-
sire Of the people be fulfilled, that the
nation as well as the emperor would
have word in directing the policies OF
the country. 1t is certain now in the
rinds Of the German people that a great
step has been taken toward free gov
eminent.
Interpreted by the events leading I'D
TO It. the least this declaration OF the
emperor can mean is that he promises
to limit his freedom of speech and
observe carefully the constitutional
f"rms in taking no Initiative without
The advice and consent Of his ministers.
