TALK IN GERMANY
Many Papers Censuring the
Emperor
FOR ACTIONS IN ENGLAND
Highest Prussian Court Decides on Meat
Inspection Law,
By Associated Press
Berlin, Feb. 9. The Anglo-German
relations and their surmised modifica
tions, owing to Emperor William's vis
it to England, form Just now tho all
engrossing topic. The decorating of
Lord Roberts with the order of Black
Eagle, and Emperor William's reply to
King Edward's speech. In which tho
Emperor said that he wo honored In
wearing a British uniform and that
the Emperor's army would Hkewls3
feel It an honor, has especially aroused
keen criticism, which Is privately ex
pressed much more freely th'dn In
print.
In high official circles tho decorating
of Roberts, which officials do not con-
iirui, is regarueu as DCing merely a.
personal significance ami as expressing
the Emperor's appreciation of Rob
erts as a man and a soldier, and Is not
looked upon as a political act and
leaves Anslo-German relations pre
clsely where they were 'beforo the In
cident.
Nevertheless It is admitted that the
act expiesses the Emporor's wish to
end the bitterness In the relations of
the two countries.
Tho Kreuse Zeitunc's comment yes
terday evening Is today making the
rounds of the German press. Many
papers merely reproduco It without
comment. The Kreuse Zeltunc said.
"Wo fall to see why this Boer de
stroyer (Roberts) should receive such
an unique mark as the emperor's dis
tinction, and also why tho Emperor,
after being horribly Insulted five year-3
ago by the officers of his British regi
ment, should now show them marked
attention".
Tho 'bitterly Anglophobe, Deutsche
Tags Zeltung, the leading Agrarian or
gan, says that It cannot doubt the Em
peror's behavior In England is based
on an Idea of closer Anglo-German
friendship, which Is Intensely unpop
ular with the vast majority of tho na
tion.
Berliner Neusto Nachrlsten (Conser
vative) today reprints the Kreus Zelt
ung article regarding tho Engllfc'i and
German policy. Tho paper says:
England Is Incapacitated from an alli
ance of any sort because she Is tie
mendously weakened by the South Af
rican war. As a military powor she Is
not worthy of serious attention. Eng
land therefore will not pursue an g
grosslve policy under any circum
stances. An entente between England
and Russia In tho near future Is more
likely than not, as Russia
couqutcs with the English mon
ey 'market and is economically and
struggle with England. Foraatlmeit Is
true, tho English naval superiority re
mains, and the way to German colonies
can he Mocked iby English vessels.
Thoreforo, on the whole, the wisest for
Germany Is to leave the door onen for
an Anglo-German understanding, and
in thojueanwhlle llvo in peace with
England.
Berliner Tageblatt, an independent
Liberal prints u special London cor
respondence in which tho writer says
that tho German people will do well to
bury their animosity to Great Brltlan
when tho people extend a hand of
friendship, adding that Great Britain
will doubtless bo ready to pursuo a
friendly course. The writer continues
to suy that tho German people seem
about to ToJect tho friendship ot a
great nation which formerly Germany
earnestly wooed.
Die Tageltche Rundschau, a
Conservative und mildly Agrarian,
says that tho Emperor I estranged
from the nation by his behavior In
England'and declares that too close ro

with tho United States, adding that if
tho United States saw Germany ready
and in earnest, she would be forced to

While a mere protest would bo laughed

Kreuse Zeltung corrobarates this
statementjfeaylng: "Americans are well
aware that for them tho tariff war Is
more difficult to support than It would
be for Germany, and when they pei
celve that the Germans Will not stand
shilly-shallying any longer they will
say, at last, that the stupid Germans
begin to see their advantage."

that it Is lawful to enforce additional

IMPROVED PROSPECTS
For
Continued Peace and Harmony In
England.
By Associated Press.
London.l'Fcb. 8. A comprehensive
view of the'lnternatlonal situation re
veals only improved prospects for con
tinued nfijifp and ihormony. From a
"British stan'drolnt"een'"vlctorlS'8'
death appears to hove strengthened.
rather than weakened Great Britain's,
position among the nations. Sufficient
time has elapsed since Victoria ceased
to reign for the Foreign Office to feel
the political pulse of the capitals of
Europe, and a hrlef examination re
sulted In a feeling of satisfaction and
security at Downing street.
The foremost factor In this is natur
ally Emperor William's attitude. Re
sponsible officials here make no at
tempt to conceal elation at the cir
cumstances attending on his majesty's
visit. They do not shut their eves to
the 'dissatisfaction the Emperor caused
among certain sections of his subjects,
but rely Implicitly on the imperious
force of Germany's rulerto successfully
overcome tho International opposition
engendered. The only feature ot the
recent International happenings re
gretted Is 'the Emperor's decoration of
Field Marshal Roberts with tho order
of Black Eagle. It Is thought that his
majesty went almost too for. In view
of tho hostile comments that the Ger
man press has been In tho habit of
showering on Great Britain's South
African campaign.
Neither In China or In other park of
world do Russia and France.ln the for

of the contradiction against this activ
ity of British diplomacy. Lord Salis
bury is isald to rely on Emperor Wil

with tho Czar and so long as this is
feasible, 'France is not expected to
take any serious lnlnlatlve. i.loreov
or tho French Anglophoblsm seems to
have abated since the Queen's death.

TEDDY
Attends the Fights
Says Brady.
WILL BE NO FAKE
But a Hard Contest He Con
tinues, SITUATION IS COMPLICATED
Tom Sharkey Is in Cincinnati to Challenge
the Winner.
By Associated Press.
Cincinnati, O.. Feb. 9. The situa
tion is more complicated than ever to
night regarding the contests here next
Friday night between .Martin and
Chllds ftnd Jeffries and Ruhlln.
It Is hardly possible that Judge Hol
lister will he ready to render his decis
ion on Tuesday morning, and if he rea
ders It on Wednesday or Thursday
there will be very little time for the
proposed appeal to higher couits. In
tho meantime, there are all sorts of
rumors about) other proceedings, in
cluding action against Madden and
Brady for perjury, and especrally
against the former. At any rate there
Is much 'talk about what may yet be
dono to jprovont-the fight. "Whllenhe
defense denies the jurisdiction of the
court ot equity to grant such injunc
tion as asked for, they will proceed on
appeals and possibly otherwise In case
the Injunction is granted.
It is reported that if the Injunction I,
refiued, plaintiffs will stop their pro
ceedlngs on account of the limitation of
time, and leave the matter to the gov
ernor. The plaintiffs have no doubt
as to the outcome of the pending suits
except on a point of Jurisdiction of the
court of equity, and on that point tho
defense expects the decision In their
favor.
Brady made a dramatic as well as a
strong witness. He was much more
Impressive than Madden was yesterday
and was at times almost sensational.
Madden testified that Jeffries and Ruh
lln would spar with "love taps" for
points. (Brady said his man would hit
as h?ld as he could to retain the
championship and that he had nj
doubt but that Ruhlln would meet him
equally vigorously. Brady said that
any other kind of a performance would
be a fake and an imposition on the
public.
Brady testified to sitting bosldo The
odore Roosevelt at a contest in the
Metropolitan theatre in New York.
Brady testified to reserving a box for
Roosevelt at another contest, but
Roosevelt did not attend. Brady
thought that the failure to attend was
because the 'New York papers said so
much about him having a box re
served. Judge Harmon asked him If he
thought that a man who was not afraid
of a lion was afraid of newspaper talk
Brady replied In the negative and paid
a high tribute to Roosevelt. He con
sidered Roosevelt the bravest man on
earth .
'Brady proceeded ta testify to the
high standing of business men and
others who were present on the occas
ion when ho sat near Roosevelt. He
stated that he expected tho same class
of people hero next Friday night. Ho
testified to reserving a section in the
hall for members of tho Board of Trade
of Chicago, and to orders for tickets
from prominent men from all over tho
country.
The most prominent arrivals today
aro Tom Sharkey and "Spider" Kelly.
Sharkey says he is hero to challenge
the winner. He says he has a forfeit
of $2,500 posted with Al Smith in New
York to fight Jeffries. Should Ruhlln
win, the check will feo as a forfeit for
a meeting with hihx. Sharkey says
that ho has a pronilfco from Jeffries to
be the next man in the event that the
champion wins.
