The fateful meeting between the Emperor and his Chancellor on Tuesday has already been exhaus tively discussed in the world’s press, and we have no intention of piling Ossa upon Pelion by adding superfluous comment on this highly important event. Whatever may be the opinions of the Emperor’s own subjects with regard to his declaration to the Chancellor on Tuesday, as reported in the official press, there can be no doubt that his words have been received abroad with approval surprisingly cor dial and spontaneous. The London journals laud his Majesty’s “submission” as a noble example of imperial magnanimity. It is declared that he has never been greater than at the moment of surrender ing some of his personal power at the popular bidd ing, and with this conclusion we are not disposed to disagree. There has been too much picturing of the Emperor as an arbitrary autocrat, jealous of his extensive imperial prerogatives while remaining blind to the ever-growing strength of public opinion in his domains. As a matter of cold fact, his Majesty is probably as well versed in the broadening de mands of constitutionalism as the most vociferous of his democratic subjects, and is equally ready to sacrifice his will to that of his people as the most patriotic citizen of the Empire. Those who have taken the trouble to follow the rapid course of events commencing with the publication in the Daily Telegraph of his Majesty’s views concerning Ger man relations with England, will not find it a diffi cult matter to sympathise with the outspoken dis agreement of the German people with the situation responsible for that so-called indiscretion. Indiscre tion it may have been, but we nevertheless hold to our original opinion that it was a splendid indis cretion. The times, it appears, are not favourable for a bold individual bid to eliminate at one blow the web of malice, hatred, and all uncharitableness which a brief period of misunderstanding, primarily engendered by the press of both countries, has at tempted—not entirely without success—to weave around Anglo-German relations. From this execrable task the responsible heads on both sides have held themselves unswervingly aloof, and among the un tiring workers for the improvement of mutual feel ing between the civilised British and Teutonic races the German Emperor has been ever prominent. This aspect of the situation has not received a due amount of appreciation, a circumstance probab ly due to the larger issues involved. Those one and a half columns of matter in a London journal went far towards precipitating an internal crisis in Germany, since the press and the politicians saw in the Emperor’s latest action a renewed attempt to introduce the personal note into the national affairs of the realm. Thereupon throughout the length and breadth of the land a cry went up, “Thus far, and no farther!” a cry which swelled to such a volume that those in authority deemed it prudent to prompt ly placate the electorate by a definite statement of policy. This was foreshadowed in Prince Biilow’s speech to the Reichstag last week, and it has now been materialised in the form of a declaration from the Emperor’s own lips, to the effect that his future activity in national policy will be strictly subordi nated to the advice of his responsible ministers. The unequivocal and generous attitude of his Ma jesty. has not, however, received the unanimously sympathetic appreciation of those chiefly concerned. In some quarters the imperial assurance has been received with profound gratification; in others ‘ it is regarded as an unsatisfactory compromise. Thus, a prominent Berlin journal says the hope that the interview between the Emperor and Prince Biilow would end in an understanding has not been disap pointed, and that the accord arrived at puts an end to the internal crisis, wihich has weighed like a nightmare for fifteen days upon German people. An other contemporary, the Rheinisch-Westfalische Zci- tung, views the subject from a very different stand point, and regards the imperial reply as a blunt re fusal of the wishes of the people. This attitude de mands explanation, for it is not easy to conceive in what manner the Emperor has ignored the desires of his subjects. On the contrary he has met them with characteristic frankness and promptitude, not hesitating to accept an ostensible humiliation so long as the national weal was saved from injury. The personal acerbity displayed towards the Throne ema nates solely from politicians, and we believe that H. G. B. Peters Established 1885. Furriers Exclusively.

If he has been guilty of mistakes, those mistakes were of a very human character, and it is possible that this touch of na ture has resulted in the establishment of closer kin ship between the ruled and the ruler. The ultimate effect of the Daily Telegraph interview may not, after all, be entirely detrimental. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE VISIT OF THE KING AND QUEEN OF SWEDEN. Windsor, November 18. In responding to the toast of his health proposed by King Edward, the King of Sweden referred to the bonds of friendship and the close connection that have long existed between the two peoples. He cherished, said his Majesty,, the sure hope that those happy relations would continue and become firmer and firmer, to the benefit of the two friendly nations. London, November 18. The King and Queen of Sweden made their entry into the City today and were received by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen in State at the Guildhall. In acknowledging the toast of his health proposed by the Lord Mayor, King Gustav expressed his thanks for the reception, and for the invitations that had been sent to several members of the City Council of Stockholm whom he saw present. His Majesty then alluded to the friendship and mutual sympathy which for centuries had bound the English and the Swedish peoples together, thanks to the traditional freedom that had always reigned in both countries. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. London, November 18. Captain Faber, Conservative member for West Hampshire, asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the state of affairs in India, he intended to send reinforcements of troops there. Mr. Haldane replied that he could not see any necessity for such a step. SEDITION IN INDIA. Simla, November 18 It is understood that the Earl of Minto, the Vice roy, has summoned to Bikaner Sir Harvey Adamson and Mr H. Erie Richards, K. C., Members of the Council, and the Home Secretary, in order to confer with them on the subject of certain legal proposals to deal summarily with political offenders The entire Anglo-Indian Press, the European community, and ell loyal natives are agreed as to the necessity of measures enabling the Authorities to deal immediately with Anarchists and assassins. Calcutta, November 18. At a meeting of members of the Indian Congress, held here, in response to an invitation from Suren- dranath Bannerjee and others, resolutions to be sub mitted to the Congress in Madras regarding self- government, the boycotting movement, and national education were drawn up. Bengalis were advised to go to Madras in large numbers in order to secure the passing of the resolutions. Two students have been arrested at Dacca on a charge of murdering another student, whose body was found decapitated and otherwise hideously muti lated. NEWS FROM AMERICA. MR. BRYAN TO RUN AGAIN. San Antonio (Texas) November 18. In a speech delivered here today Mr. Bryan said he would stand again for the Presidency in 1912 if the party wished him to do so when the time came. BURGLARS’ POST OFFICE HAUL. New York, November 18. A daring burglary has been perpetrated at the Post Office at South Bend, Indiana. An entrance was effected into a vault under the office, and the burg lars succeeded in getting away with 19,000 dollars. All the time they were below several clerks were at work. An investigation shows that a thick wall was bored right through, and the work was done from an adjoining house. UNITED STATES AND JAPAN. Washington, November 18. The attention of the Administration has been call ed to published statements indicating the intention of the United States to force Japan’s hand, with a view to securing assurances regarding Japan’s In tentions concerning Manchuria. This has resulted in the issue of denials both from the White House and the State Department of the existence of any friction with Japan. At the White House it is de clared that the statement in question is the direct reverse of facts, while at the State Department it is asserted that the relations between the United States and Japan have never been closer or better. THE ABRUZZI-ELKINS ROMANCE, Rome, November 18. It is confirmed that the Duke of the Abruzzi has telegraphed to Miss Katherine Elkins restoring her freedom. New York, November 18. The Press now seems to take it for granted that the engagement of Miss Elkins to the Duke of the Abruzzi has been definitely broken off. The New York American says the question of the amount of the dowry loomed largely in the later negotiations. The American also hints that recently the sentiments of the Duke towards Miss Elkins underwent a very considerable change. THE TARIFF REVISION QUESTION. There has lately been a good deal in the New York and provincial newspapers about the matter of tariff revision. As already reported the Committee of Ways and Means at Washington is engaged in hearing representations from interested parties who have flocked to the capital, in answer to official ad vertisements notifying all concerned that various schedules would come up for consideration, in view of possible legislative action. It was not known at the time what Mr. Taft intended to do in respect to the tariff, but it is now announced, apparently upon his authority, that a special session of Con gress will be called next spring to deal with that question. Exceptional interest, therefore, attaches to the pre sent proceedings at Washington, seeing that legis lation in the near future is practically assured. There is no question of reduced tariffs, or tariff reform, properly so-called. As far as one can judge from the American newspapers and the utterances of pub lic men, nobody would seriously propose to Con gress to abolish the tariff or even to alter it to any very serious extent. It has served its purpose (Continued on page 2.) I
