Berlin, Dec. 6.-The Imperial Chancel-
Tor returned this morning TO Berlin from
Donaueschngen. after comforting with the
Emreror on the Zabern incidents. and i'm
mediately issued a denial of the unflatter-
ing explanation OF his unsuccessful ap-
pearance in Parliament on Wednesday.
The Under Secretary of State Arnold
Wahnschaffe, OF the imperial chancellery,
was reported TO have told the party lead
ers that the Chancellor had made mis-
take in his speech. and had forgotten to
mention the Emperor's interposition
against the military authorities at Zabern.
II appears Herr Wahnschaffe said TO
the party leaders that the Chancellor had
been unwell and had failed. therefore, to
make clear 10 the members OF the i'm
rerial Parliament that the Emperor had
ordered the army officers TO keep withr
the law. and had sent Major Genera
Kuehne to Zabern to take charge OF the
situation Tire Chancellor, he said. nal
referred only indirectly 10 the Emperor's
intervention In the. affair.
II was noted at the time that the Cnan-
cellor. in Parliament OF Wednesday, spoke
without his customary clearness and
force.
The constitution OF Alsace-Lorraine Is
not going to be smashed into fras-
ments." nor is the territory to be MADE
into Prussian province. as Emperor
William was reported TO, have threat
ened in a moment OF anger last year
over the Alsatians' conduct Now
comes the declaration from him that
its constitution shall be upheld. The
official "Strassburg Correspondent IN
an article on the transfer OF the Zaoern
garrison. says:
Furthermore. the viceroy has firm as
surance from the Emperor or his VIII
that hereafter the constitutionally guar
anteed rights of Alsace-Lorraine shall
find stricter observance in all respects

to get some tobacco dust from the

it literally over the oats. It will
