ESTABLISHED JUNE 1¢ PUTS UP BOLD BLUFF Germany Ditclaima All Responsibility for Trouble in China, VON BUELOW PRESENTS CASE FOR KA = Every Move Dictated in Protection of Right and Defense of Honor, NO WAR OF CONQUEST IS BEING WAGED Conditions on Which Peace Will Be Granted Are Officially Stated. IDEA OF SPHERE OF INFLUENCE DISOWNED ‘World Informed that By Dispatching Troopa te Orient Government Has Not Impuired Rendine Battle Nearer Home, for BERLIN, Nov. 15.—In the Reichstag today, on the occasion of the presentation of the supplementary credit for China, Count von Buelow, the imperial chancellor, emphatic- ally denfed the mssertion frequently made abroad that the China lmbroglio was trace- able to the German occupation of Kiao Chau. This staiement was greeted by the sociul democrats with loud cries of “It Is quite true.'” Count sret tho von Buelow expressed keen re- that such a cry was heard in erman Parllament. The chancellor further declared he did not wish at present to way anything which might be prejudicial to the common ebjects of the powers in China, but he felt the need of | placiog bimself fn touch with the nation. Germany, he explained, had adhered to the aims and policy outlined in the circular to the allled governments. The allegation that the government had not foreseen the Chinese crists was true. But most of the that the storm in the far east would burst #0 violently or s0 soon. jut,” added Count vom Buelow, “the premonitory signs did not escape us. We dirccted the attention of the other cabi- nets repeatedly to these signs. I wish to reproach no one, least of all Baron von Ketteler, who in endeavoring most earn- estly in the fulfillment of his duty to bring the chief Chinese authorities to reason, went, almost withoyt fear, to his death, worthy of the faud he represented and the name he bore.” This statément caused loud applause. Modesty Held Them Hack. Reverting to the Kiao Chou allegation Count von Buelow recapitulated the pre- vious territorial acquisitions and expedi- tlons of the other powers in China, add- ing “We, with proverbial modesty, restrainel ourselves longest of all the powers, even until the massacre of our missionaries in Shan Tuug.” Continuing, Count von Buelow said: “We frst act 1 In Chima by force of circumstances, and, then, fu such a way that peace was affected meither direetly nor indirectly. Our presenco at Kiao Chou 15 based on & treaty with China in aceord with international law. We have shown a friendly and benevolent disposition towards China and demonstrated this specially in 1805, when China was at the mercy of the victorious Japanese. We have no desire to interfere with the interests of the other powers in China. We wish to pro- tect our rights to the fullest degree. Our position there is one of legitimuto defense. ‘The miserable Chinese administration per- mitted the Hoxer movement to gain ground, observed towards the ministers an attitude of equivocation and inaction, vio- lated the rights of nations and the dignity of the German people by allowing the outrageous murder of Baron von Ketteler and did the utmost in the intercourse with the minlstors to put off matters by all kinds of subterfuge and palpable false- hoods. Protection of Right, Defense of Honor “In the faco of such an attitude wo had 10 take the necessary measures for the pro- tection of cur rights and the defense of our honor. The other powers were compelled 1o act In self-defense. A dispussionate ob- server cannot doubt, that the recent move- nent is traced neither to Ktao Chou, Hong Kong, Tonquin or Port Arthur. It is di- rected mgalnst clvilization, with which Jupan hus thrown in her lot. What Ger- mans deeire Is, not a political adventure, but the assertion of our interests, our rights wnd our honor as a gieat people. We are Waging Do war of conquest oa China, We only wish for atonement for Chinese mis- deeds and o guaranty of reforms. W especially desire wtonement, since other wise such things wmight occur again. We dexire the influence uccruing to Germany in the present movement shall bo preserved to her. We desire our share in what is to he won frcm China. We will not overreach unyono and we will not let anyone over- reach us. We have nothing to gain by a partition of China and we do not desire i, We shall fare best if China recovers her- welf, #o far as possible, under the best ordered administration oblainable and re- maing solvent. We wish to confine our- welves to omr present position and will not shako Chiuu unnecessarily. Wo huve no reason for golug beyond the convention August 3, 1808, or to sfrive for territorial avquisition, Neither have we lnterest in nailing our welveg down in China to a definite stretch of territory. German trade had spread far in Chioa long before wo occupied Kulo Chou. We defend our rights in peaceful competition, therefore, with all nations, on the principle of ‘live and let live.," That is the object of the Anglo-German agreement of October 18, the principles of which the other cubinets huve declared (hemselyes with.

The result of It il may bo the transformation of the Anglo-German agreements regarding China and Africa into a formal alliance, into which Ttaly will be taken on account of its position in the Mediterranean.

Harrison, inspector meneral of United States volunteers, was an act of resentment against his father, ex-President Harrison, for his nonparticipation In the late presi- dentlal election. The War department ex- plains it, however, as an act fn tho ordl- nary course; that the discontinuance of the military department of Porto Rico removed the necessity for an Inspector general in that department; that all the military de- partments in the United States are pro- vided with officers of that corps, and th it was inadvisable to send Lieutenant Col onel Harrison to the Philippines at this late day, for the reason that under the law all the volunteer ofiicers may have to be dlscharged from the service by June 50 next. This explanation will satisty all save those who arc determined not to be satisfied by anything the administration does.

REV. DR. DREES TALKS EVEN MORE RABIDLY Questions Raised by the Protestant Reformation, It in Insisted, Now Demand That They Be Pushed to Thelr nal Issue. NEW YORK, Nov, 15.~Two fierce on- slaughts on the church of Romo enlivened the proceedings at today's session of the Peeneral rissionary committee. On cach an audience which filled every part of the large auditorium in St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, where the committee is meeting, broke Into ap plause und no effort was made by the chair 1o check these demonstrations of approval The gencral committee, which s com- posed of all tho bishops and leading di- | vines in the Methodist church of America, | has been Iu sesslon dally since Wednesday last Upon several occasions during former sessions when reference has been made to anything pertaining to the Roman church the same spirit of deflance has been apparent. Upon no former occasion, how- ever, has that church been denounced In terms 80 unqualified, nor has the approval of the audience been given vent In so vigorous appluuse occasion Bishop Goodwell's Attack. The first person to advance to the at- k vwas Bishop Goodsell of Tennessee. In the course of an address on the work ot the Methodist Episcopal church in various rts of Europe he had occasion to speak of the work done In Italy and conditlons obtaining there. It was in the reeital ot the latter the bishop used such strong language against the church of Rome. He sald “In northern Europe, many and the Scandinavian countries, wo have made satisfactory progress, though we have had a great deal of indifference and even opposition to contend with. Sta- tistics show that we have made as much headway during the fizst thirty-five yea in Europe as we have fn the same period in this country, which offers a more con genial sofl for our creed. “In southern Kurope the conditions are somewhat different. There the struggle has been harder. Thero ure many who doubt whether wo bave any work at all in Ttaly, the land of superstition and priest- craft. Doubting whether we could ever hope (o accomplish any(hing there in tho face of the tremendous press of adverse thought with which wo are confronted, we sent one of our workers into Italy. He soon made up his mind that in Rome we had to do do the Romans. He began by tralning the young, by taking them into our schools and seminaricé “The work is slow, but its value has been recently testified to-by the pontiff himself, who bas honored us by excommunicating every one, teachers and puplls allke, con- nected with our institutions of learning |1n the effort to preserve for himself the triple crown of papacy he has fssued a wweeping interdict agalnst the schools and every one passing through their gates. This however, has only made us more determined to wipe out i system which has created ont of the former man of emplio a cringing beggar with @ monkey and a grind organ The applause which greeted this was deafening. Crusnde Agalust Catholic Charch, The next speaker threw the gauutlet o the Church of Romo in terms as direct and condemnatory as did Bishop Goodsell, This was Rev, Dr. ¢ W. Drees, who for a num- ber of years has been identified with the work of the Methodist scopal church in Nouth Amcrica and was appointed by the committee to take over the supervision of the work among the Spanish-speaking nuticns on this continent. Besides Bishop odsell ie Is the only member of the committee who in the course of his labor Lus come in direct contact with the work of the Roman Catholie church, In beginuing his address Dr. Drecs made reterence to the end of Spanish rule in this hemisphere and was roundly applanded “It was wise of the chalrman to call the { subject on which T am to speak the work amcng the Spanish-speaking Inbabitants of Awcrica. Happlly, there ls no louger a Spanish America. The last vestige of domination in this hemisphere dis- red when tho old Spanish battleship Maria Teresa, i being towed to this coun- try after having been wrecked by our guns, lald her bones to rest on the sauds of the jslund which was the first American terri- tory discovered. ‘A former speaker has sald that a con- dition where balf of the world Iy pagan and the other half Christian cannot long en- dure. The same can be sald with as much truth of & stato of affairs where Christen- dom 1 divided into twa great camps, with Protestanism on one side and Greek and Roman Catholicism on tho other. The time 15 upon us when anew the questions which appeared in the Protestant Reforma tion will begin to agitate tho world and de- | mand to be pushed to their final issue. After sluwrbering for four centuries these selfsamo questions were awakened through the last act of infamy of the pontiff in de- claring himself infallible. Within twenty- four hours after that tlasphemous declara- tion had been writien on the triple crown of Rome, the Prussian armies invaded holic France. Forty-five days later the vattle of Sedan was fought with Protestant ssla the victor, and twenty days had ouly elapred when the united armies en- tered the “Holy City,” where the pope held gway, bringing with them carloads of bibles Language Almost Bratal, “The pope lost his teroporal power and { since that day the creed has been weaken- ing. “The Roman church at one fime held | swiy cverywhere, but now both that church | and Spenish domination have fallen off their | Ligh pedestals, When Spaln is arraigoed | the Roman Catholic church should be ar- ralgned with that power as co-respondent. Iver tince Isabella signed away the liberty of Bpain to the pope there has been an fllegitimate alliar ween ntatecra and priesteraft against human liberty and human progrecs.” The apolause tremendous s for instance, in Ger- Iy which followed was as it was spontaneous.
