BERLIN, Nov. 17.-An interview be-
peror William held at the new palace in
Potsdam this morning resulted in sat
isfactory understanding. His majesty
expressed his complete confidence in the
chancellor, and the chancellor will re-
main in office. Furthermore, the EN-
peror accepted the proposals made by the
prince concerning the future conduct Of
state affairs.
The result is believed to have
ameliorated the very serious internal
situation which has existed in Germany
for the past fortnight.
Began with Interview.
This meeting, which was watched by
the entire German people with the most
profound interest, is an outcome of the
much discussed interview" with an
Englishman published in the London
Daily Telegraph ON October %, in which
the Emperor was credited with very
frank statement of the world policy OF
the German empire, and also with being
a very good friend to Great Britain.
The publication was followed by flu
rious outbreak in Germany against his
majesty. He was most severely crit
cised in the German press and in the
Reichstag for his indiscretion, and for
unwarranted interference in the state
affairs of the nation. Prince Won Bue-
low replied to these criticisms in the
Reichstag, and said that the Emperor ID
the future would refrain from a repetl-
ton of his action.
During the meeting of today the chan
cellor explained clearly to his majesty

matter. Whether or not the chancellor
remained in office depended on how the
Emperor accepted his statements.
