DER KAISER
IN DEEPER
WATER
Trouble in Which He Is In
volved Has But Begun
Many Questions Will Have
to be Answered
BERLIN, Nov. 13. The. trouble in
y which Kaiser Willi elm has involved
himself and his advisers has only just
begun, according to the veiled intima
tion of a member of the rcichstag to
day." The law-makers from nil parts of
. ' the empire have come primed with do
I mands for legislation and the hnrass
.' ment of his majesty will be their ob
ject during the entire autumnal sit
ting of the assembly.
The principal questions which the
emperor will be called upon to answer
either personally or through Chancellor
von Beulow aro:
Does his majesty not consider that,
- in simultaneously tolegrnphing eneour
1 a gem en t to the Boers during the South
African war and in working out cam
paign plans for their defeat by the
-, British, he was deliberately double-deul-'..
ing
Kaiser and His Country.
In view of his own admission that
Germany was strongly pro-Boer in his
sympathies, does the kaiser think he
treated his countrymen fairly in nidiug
the Boers' enemies!
Whatever may have been his majes
ty s views at the time of the Boeur
war, is it not true that he told British
Ambassador Sir Frank Luscelles, when
he heard of the Jameson raid, "I hear
your people have invaded the Trans van I
and I hope every man of them will be
hot?"
By representing that the masses of
Germans are bitterly anti-British", does
his majesty not think that he has made
i England Germany's foe?
-, By declaring that Germany's increas
ed naval strength is for use against
the orient, does the kaiser not think
German trade in the far east will suf
fer seriously!
Has not tho kaiser's custom of work
ing at cross-pur poses with his own gov
ernment shatttered the world's confi
dence in German sincerityf
Should not something be done to in
Jmire the uniformity of Teutonic policy
- .nd to prevent a repetition of future
"indiscretions," such as the recent in
....ttjrview Will Von Beulow Resign?
Emperor William nnd Chancellor von
Beulow were to meet at Kiel Monday
morning, according to an official an
nouncement, nnd it is expected it wilt
be determined whether Von Beulow will
re;gu or not.
The chancellor will make a complete
report of tho two days debate in the
re i eh stag regarding the kaiser's Lon
don Telegraph interview and other re
cent statements by the emperor which
have been characterized as "indis
creet. '

SUGAR COMPANY IN BITTER
TIGHT WITH ARBUCKLE
XUW YORK, Nov. 13. Bitter wnr
is lieinij wiiReil toili.y between the
American Sugar Refining company and
Arbnckle Bros., who urea pparently be-
ili(j assisted in their fight by the l'ed
oral Refining company. Sugar prices
are being slashed und the open sharp
competition has resulted in sealing down
the margin between raw nnd refineil
products to a basis-, it is said, that lit
tle more than meets the cost of produc
tion. The cause of the breach between the
two leading producers can be only sur
mised, but it is current gossip in Ihe
trndo that Arbuekle Brothers have had
a falling out with the new administra
tion of the American Sugar Refining
company. It is said thnt nn agreement
reached some years ago between the
president, Havemeyer, and Arbuekle
Brothers has been terminated.
