Amsterdam. May 5.-A Berlin dis
patch says the constitution commit
tee OF the reichstag has decided to
restrict the power Of the emperor of
Germany. The comrnittee decided that
the imperial constitution should be
amended to provide that ordinances
and DEGREES of the kaiser would be
issued In the name Of the empire and
should require the counter-signature
OF the imperial chancellor or his
representative. who thereby assumes
responsibility to the reichstag. The
decision is in accordance with a Joint
proposal by the Centrists, the Nation
oil Liberals and the Progressives. The
four Conservative members voted
against the change. The committee
also adopted resolution demanding
that the chancellor be responsible to
the senate for violation of has official
duty.
