Early Clocks.

Many clocks with weights and wheel;
were in use in England during Chau-
GERS time. and most of the monasteries
of the fourteenth century possessed
clocks, though these We're used to show

OF
PERSECUTION

E. Kahele was discharged in police
court this morning. His case was
reported in The Star last Tuesday as
persecution. He had been sentenced
to ninety Gays Tor stealing revolver
and Nobriga, complainant, wanted him
cinched also for the alleged stealing
of a watch supposed to have been
taken at the same time.
Kahele admitted taking the revolver,
but declared that he had not been in
the room from which the watch was
taken. There was no reliable evidence
that he had. In any event he had al
ready received ninety days for lar
ceny and it was not to be supposed, as
represented by attorney for defense,
Peters, that a man could be sentenced
for separate terms for each item Of
property alleged to have been taken
on one occasion.

ambition of patriotic Germans refuses to
assign any bounds. Germany must have
a powerful fleet to protect that commerce
and her manifold interests even in the
most distant seas. She expects those in
terests to go on growing and she must
be able to champion them manfully in
any quarter of the globe.
Germany looks ahead. Her horizons
stretch far away. She must be prepared
for any eventualities in the far east. Who
can foresee what may take place in the
Pacific in the days to come. days not SO
distant as some believe, but days, at
any rate. for which all European powers
with far eastern interests ought steadily
to prepare?
Look at the accomplished rise of ia
pan think of the possible national aWak-
ening of China. and then judge of the
vast problems of the Pacific. Only those
powers which have great navies will be
listened to with respect when the future
of the Pacific comes to be solved. and II
for that reason only Germany must have
a powerful fleet.
1T may even be that England herself
will be glad that Germany has a fleet
when they speak together on the same
side in the great debates of the future"
Such was the purport of the emperor's
conversation. He spoke with all that
earnestness which marks his manner
when speaking on deeply pondered sub
jects. l would ask my fellow-countrymen
who value the cause of peace to weigh
what l have written, and to revise, II
necessary. their estimate of the kaiser
and his friendship for England by his
majesty's own words. If they had enjoy
ed the privilege, which was mine, of hear
ing them spoken they would doubt no
longer either his majesty's firm desire
to live on the best Of terms with England
or his growing Impotence at the persist
ent mistrust with which his offer OF
friendship is too often received.

Attitude of the Press.

l suggested to his majesty that an i'm
portant and influential section of the Ger
man press had placed a very different in
depreciation upon the action of the Ger
man government, and in fact. had given
it their effusive appreciation precisely be-
cause they saw in it a strong act instead
of mere words, and decisive Indication
that Germany was once more about to in
tervene in the shaping of events in Mo-
rocco.

emperor, 'in both countries. l will not
attempt to weigh their relative capacity
for misrepresentation But the facts are
as l have stated. There has been nothing
In Germany,s recent action with regard to
Morocco which runs contrary to the ex-
plicit declaration of my love of peace
which l made both at Guildhall and in

His majesty then reverted to the sub
Ject uppermost in his mind-his proved
friendship for England. II have referred i"

done all that a sovereign can to proclaim
my good will. But. as actions speak

WHAT THE KAISER SAID
THAT STIRRED THE WORLD

The interview which caused the up
roar in the German reichstag yesterday
was printed in the London Telegraph on
October %. 1t was said that the recent
crisis with France was precpitated to
divert attention from the kaiser's utter
ances. Excerpts from the interview were
printed in this country at the time. The
following is the full text OF the article
which the Telegraph said was from a
source of .'unpeachable authority:
Description is the first and last quality
requisite in diplomatist. and should
still be observed by those who. like my
self. have long passed from public into
private life. Yet moments sometimes &C.

Relations With England.

1--WE must defend our policy during the
Boer war against accusation and equivo-
cation. We gave timely warning to the
Beers that they would lie alone against
England. and that there was no doubt re-
garding the result.
1.-The facts with reference to the ques-
ton of intervention long have been public
property, and whether the communication
of these to Queen Victoria constituted a
violation of diplomatic rules depends on
circumstances unknown to the public.
Concerning the statement attributed to
Emperor William that a majority of the
German people are hostile to Great Brit
ain. the expression used by the Telegraph
is too strong. Serious and regrettable
MISUNDERSTANDING have existed between
Great Britain and Germany, but the Ger
man people desire peaceful and friendly
relations with that empire, joined with
mutual respect.
