A. Quigley’s Office last evening and discussed sev- 1 matters which are: none of the public’s business if the statements of W. K. Quigley are to be believed. ! It was shortly after 7 o’clock when the members of the council who are Believed to be ‘“disciples” of the * Divine Quigley,” gathered about the City building and in a few minutes was noised about, that there was to a meeting, but it was fo be strictly of a private nature. It was held too, but as far as the public is concerned | they must be satisfied to walit’ until the members of the party are re- leased trom their pledge of silence. § Most Republicans Fresent. It was discovéred by one of the members of the council who is:not of e ;same political faith as Quigley, _#hat most of the republicans were present except Councilman O. F. Cur- tis and also Councilman Hewitt who is known to have a strong liking for the gity's chief executive. (Not so you sould notice it.) | Efforts to secure any information fegarding the doings of the session i % ng. . Mayor Quigley, was asked this lorning to throw some light on the bject that would clear the atmos- ere of the cloud. { The mayor, however, was as closed houthed as the proverbial claim. The feporter in calling his attention to the fact that closed door sessions were supposed to have been done away th during the time'of hir predeces- or, who believed if a matter was to ‘@iscussed- it- was only right that le public should be given the privi- fi.‘ thelr - views. / No Public in His. of ' Imperinl Chancellor and' Gerard Dis- All g < g GERMAN VIEW cuss Problems of Relations Be- tween Germany and U. 8, Berlin, July.30.—Dr. Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German Im- perial Chancellor, who returned to the capital yesterday from a visit to the army headquarters in the ‘field, where he talked with Emperor Wil- liam, sent for James W. Gerard, the American ambassador to Germany to- day. The conference Wwas protracted, lasting an hour and a quarter. The problems' of the relations between Germany and the United States were generally and exclusively discussed, but the conference is not likely to lead to tangible results nor to any formal change in Germany's manner of conducting her submarine cam- paign. Washington, July 30.—The state department today received from Ber- lin confidential advices from Ambas- ador Gerard relative to the recep- tion of the' latest American note. While no infermation on these ad- vices was obtalnable today, belief ex- ists in official circles - that Germeany will not hasten to reply to the note, if, in fact, she replies at all. Accord- ing to German sources here, the dis- position in Berlin will be to weigh the American note' in comparison with the negotiations which are about to begin with Great Britain. Tt is maintained in these sources here that if the TUnited States deals with Great Britain as vigorously and Pointedly as it has with Germany, much df the anti-American feeling in Germany will be overcome. The be- lief is that the United States is now on trial in German public opinijon as to the consistency of its neutrality, and that the outcome of the negotia- tions wih England.-will go far toward fixing the American position, in.the while war.
