THE MOTiNING OREGOXIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1900. REICHSTAG OPENED Mild Tone of the Speech From ' the Throne. EXPENSES OF CHINA EXPEDITION Laclc.of Time Prevented the Co-operation of Parliament With the Emperor. BBRXrIN, Nov. It The. Reichstag, re assembled today. The speech from the throne dwelt at length oh the events In CMna -which have excited emotion anions civilised people, saying: "Eanatjcal. hate and dark supsrstltlon. Incited by unscrupulous advisers of the court, have driven misguided masses of Chinese to acts of atrocity against the outposts of "Western civilization and Christian worship, dwelling peacefully In thettr midst. MMy Minister died at the hands of an assassin, in a courageous attempt to over come the rising peril. The foreigners at the capital saw themselves threatened, life and limb. These things, of horror united the civilized community, where otherwise there was a divergence. All na tions against which the unparalleled on slaught was directed, drew closer. Their sons fought with one mind, shoulder to shoulder, even as" yonder standards float side by side. So the Governments show themselves In council, united with the sole wdsh to restore an orderly state, of things as speedily as possible arid, after the punishment of the chief culprits, avert a recurrence In the future of such a disturbance of peace of the world.'" In announcing that the relations of Ger many -with all the powers are good, the speech recalls His Majesty's sorrow at the assassination of King Humbert, of Italy, saying he was "my ally and dear friend, who fell a victim to a damnable outrage." The speech then proceeds: "I would sooner have consulted the Reichstag on the measures in China, but for the necessity of prompt action and the difficulty of furnishing reliable infor mation. Whenever the Reichstag could form decisions or estimate the expendi ture the Government felt confident that the representatives would not refuse their subsequent sanction to the necessary ex penditure." Turning fo domestic affairs. His Majesty said that in consequence of the natural growth of the revenue and the Increased taxation voted last session, abundant funds were available in almost every branch of life in the Empire, "especially for measures for the benefit of workers and the defense of the country. Customs tariffs, he added, would probably be laid beoro the Bundesrath during the present session. The speech commenced by announcing- various bills which -would be In troduced The ceremony of opening h'e Reiolistag occurred at noon in the Knights Hall, of the Schloss, in tho presence of the Em peror. At the conclusion of the speech from the throne Emperor "William was "warmly cheered and Count von Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, formally de clared the session opened. Several of the evening papers announce that the German financial bill submitted to the Federal Council shows that to balance it the sum of 2.240,947,301 marks will be required. The bill empowers the Imperial Chancellor to raise a loan of S7,2S6,3S4 marks and to issue treasury bills to the amount of 175.000,000 marks to strengthen the ordinary working capital of the Imperial Treasury. X bill providing for a third supple mental"? credit on account of the Chinese expeditton will be submitted to the Reichstag. A' memorandum accompanies the bill, explaining that the uprising' in China was- at first such that Its sup pression could be left to the Chinese Gov ernment, but M assumed a form menac ing to the -whole foreign community. Its object was then clear namely, the exclu sion of the whole foreign element by a reign of terror. Jt added that the Chi nese Government, if not unwilling, -was at least Incapable of controlling the move ment, and the powers had to protect their subjects, the military forces of all the powers participating to an equal degree In the restoration of order. To stop in ternational military action now -would bring a "fresh sacrifice of time and- the lives of peaceful Inhabitants. Neverthe less, the object of suoh action was solely the restoration of tranquility in China. Its task did not go beyond the suppres sion of open hostilities, and all attacks on the inner life of China not necessary were being avoided. The supplementary credit bill asks for 162,750.000 marks, it being assumed that China will eventually pay all the costs incurred by Germany. Political circles generally are disap pointed at the colorlessness of the speech from the throne. The opening session this afternoon was tame. The cost of the China transportation up to October 27 by the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-Amerioan lines was more than 27,000,000 marks. Another item of the government proposals is a provision to pension invalided soldiers who render service in China, or their relicts, at double the allowance made In the regular army. The Liberal newspapers express dissat isfaction with the reasons adduced In the speech from the throne for the Emperor not obtaining the sanction of the Reichs tag before sending the Chinese expedition. The Krauz Zeltung, the organ of tho Prussian Junker squirearchy, while approving- the speech, asserts that the right will not be able to support the govern ment on every kind of question during the session. The National Zeltung says: "Parliament, of course, will grant the ex penditure demanded, but it must clearly give the government to understand that In future it expects different treatment" All the papers point out that the speech from the throne contains no surprises. Many, including some government or gans, admit hat the explanation for the delay In calling the Reichstag 1b weak. The Berliner Neuste Nachrlchten says: ""We do not believe that the explanation offered will prove acceptable to the Reichstag. An appropriation for a pre liminary credit eoild have been carried in -three days without apposition, and the government would thus have secured the approval of the Reichstag in advance for Its unavoidable action In China. In that way Its position would have been Incomparably stronger." Even the Krettz Zeltung- admits that the criticisms of the government's course "axe not without a certain justification." The Cologne Volks Zeltung, the leading Centrist organ, will say tomorrow: "The explanation offered is not convincing. Admitting that the Reichstag could not have been called Immediately upon the breakitrg out of the China troubles, still nothing prevented calling it months ago. In order to add -weight to Germany's ac tion." Bat even the papers which criticize ad mit that the Reichstag will vote the cred its asked. The Frelsinlge Zeltung points oat that the speech from the throne failed to mention that the budget fore casted for 1901 will necessitate a loan of 87 009.000 marks to balance. Centrary to the usual practice, admis sion cards to the press and visitors at the opening of the Reichstag by the Em peror -were not Issued. This Is explained as due to extra precautions now taken for His Majesty's safety. "Von Bulovr and the Tariffs. NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The Tagltche Rundaseh's Herald's dispatch from Ber lin says it learns that Count von Bulow has declared himself against the system of maximum and minimum tariffs de manded by the Agrarian party, because a deubfe tariff -would render the passage of a commercial treaty -with the United States extremely difficult, and the Impe rial Chancellor is very, desirous of arrlv- Ins at a positive result-" -The Berliner Tageblatt declares that this decision Is irrevocable. r t THE DAY'S RACES.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 14. Yale will educate free of charge five Filipinos provided young men of exceptional fit ness and high character bo selected by Judge Taft, of the Philippine Commis sion. This announcement came from tho secretary, the Rev., Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., after the Yale University Corporation adjourned Its Autumn session. It Is hoped that those selected will be on hand at the beginning of the next college year. The corporation, hopes by this pioneer work to induce- the Civil Service Commis sion" In Washington to make an effort to obtain the co-operation of leading Amer ican colleges in a general plan to do for the Filipinos just what was done some years ago for the young Chinese and Japanese who were educated at Yale. The Influence of Judge Taft, who Is him self a Yale alumnus, class of 1S79, Is seen In this movement. Surprise was occasioned by the an nouncement of the resignation of the Rev. Dr. George Park-Fisher, an emi nent theologian and historian. Profes sor Fisher is in point of sen ice the old est member of the Yale faculty. For 46 years he has given Instruction at Yale, His resignation will take effect Imme diately after the close of the bl-centen-nlal celebration. In -October. 1901. He was graduated from Brown University In 1847. He studied theology In Yale and abroad, and In 1854, became professor of divinity at Yale and pastor of the col lego churoh. -He was born in 1827, and still enjoys vigorous health.

Commandant-General Botha, according to a dispatch to the Dally Mall from Pretoria, has sent to Lord Roberts a statement of the terms on which he will surrender. Davitt on Kruger's Trip. NEW YORK. .Nov. 14. Michael Davitt, M. P., has cabled from Paris to the Jour nal and Advertiser in part as .follows: "It is unique testimony to the great individuality of President Kruger that his voyage to Europe is watched with more Intense interest by the continental press than Is the progress of the war In China. The dally calculations of the speed of the Geldorland. with its illustrious pas senger have two- main inspirations, name ly, curiosity as to what the Indomitable THE SAD NEWS IN LUZON. President may say for his people, and against England when he lands at Mar seilles, pnd the probable effect of this on the attitude of tho European powers and the military policy of the British in the future prosecution of the war. "All speculation agrees upon two points: There are to be Important revelations. In one well-Informed quarter It is asserted that Mr. Chamberlain will soon have an opportunity of reading private letters found in Johannesburg that will place the active complicity of the Colonial Office In the Jameson raid beyond further dis pute. Proof will also be adduced that Kruger purchased the ammunition for the Boer armies from Birmingham firms In which friends of the Colonial Secretary have a large, direct interest. "The Gelderland will stop at Port Said only to receive dispatches and will pro ceed in a few; hours to Marseilles where she Is, expected to; arrive on .the l9th.

PETERSBURG. Nov. 14. Professor G. Fred Wright, of Oberlln College, and his son, Fred Bennett Wright, have ar rived here after a five-months' Joumey In Siberia and Central Asia. They sailed from San Francisco on the same steamer that carried Mrs. Conger, -wife of the United States Minister to China, and Mrs. Wlllard, spending a, month in Japan and reaching Pekln about the end of last April. Mr. Conger prpcured for them a permit to travel In the Interior of China. They spent a week on the Mongolian plateau and returned to Pekln, May 25. When going to Mongolia, they observed Boxers drilling and practicing contortions outside of Pekln with wooden swords and speara. Upon their return they heard Chinese gun practice 15 miles distant from the capital, which was ridiculed In Pekln. While in Tien Tsln they wero stoned by the mob until they bribed the police to Interfere. The Russian Vlce Admlral Allexeff forwarded them June 4 by a construction train and wagon under Cossack Guard to Harbin, crossing part of the Siberian Railway where American material is brought up by way of the Amur and the Sungarl Rivers. Professor Wright observed Cossacks burning Chi nese villages and he passed through a burning city of 10,000 people. He counted 100 bodies In the Amur River within five minutes. , Ultimately, he managed to secure a boat going up the river to the. railway at Vrollnsk and reached Oask a fortnight later. At this point, Professor Wrjght and his son left the railway, taking the Iritlsh River to Pavlodar. Thence they proceeded 403 miles by wagon to Tashkent making 7Q miles a, day and one day cov ered 132 miles. Tomorrow, Professor Wright and his son will call upon Pro fessor Nitlkln, the Russian geologist, who w,as able to facilitate greatly their work of exploration. ATTACKED JAPAKESE EMPRESS. Lunatic Threw His Purso and Shoes at Her. YOKOHAMA, Nov. 2. via Victoria, B. C, Nov. 14. The chief sensation of thft week has been the attack by a lunatic upon the carfiag6 of the Empress, as the latter was being escorted through the streets of Toklo. The Incident -was notable only from the extraordinary character of the weapons used, and also from the additional evidence It furnished. If any thing were needed to testify to the great reverence and affection in which Her Majesty Is held by the ipeople. Mere ru mor of the attack before the actual facts were known, caused a tremendous amount of excitement In the -city, out of all proportion to the Importance of the affair Itself, . y The crary assailant, having- brooded over his lowly birth until he Imagined himself of the imperial lineage, had ap plied In vain at the Imperial household department to have his claims5 recognised. Ha . determined .to .attract publlc atten-. tion in somo way, which he succeeded. in doing' most effectually by first throwing his purse and then his wooden clogs at the passing procession. The perils accompanying the use of the kodak by foreigners In Japan, as well as advantages of belonging to the Harvard Club of this empire, were amusingly Il lustrated by a recent Incident Among the first telegrams received by Baron Kaneko, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, on his accession to office, " was one from Shimonosekl, announcing that fwo young men, named Burden and "Win throp, belonging to Boston families of the highest respectability, had been ar rested at Shimonosekl in the act of tak ing photographs in the vicinity of the fortifications there, and asking for in struotions as to what should be done with them. The Minister of Justice, "who, as president of the Harvard Club, had only a few evenings before entertained th Bostc-nlans at dinner at the club, and could therefore vouch for their not being foreign spies, at once wired orders for their immediate release. ' Tire new Ministry Is looked upon with the greatest Interest and favor by for eigners, as It Is -without doubt far more favorably disposed toward the latter than any wh!ch has been In power for some years past. The new regulation of the Home De partment, In regard to the management of the social evil and famous "Yoshl- 1 ' St. Paul Pioneer Presi, waras," is having . such extraordinary and unexpected effect that it is confi dently predicted that this particular fea ture of Japanese life- will soon disappear from the larger cities. Remarkable Murder Trial Ended. VIENNA, Nov. 14 A remarkable trial for murder has just been concluded at Pizk, Bohemia, after lasting two years and being the center of a bitter conflict between the ariti-Semlte party and tho Jews.

At Hslatsln, the Russians fought 2000 Chinese troops, dispersing them and killing 200. The Russians had no casual ties. Tho population of Tien Tsln now reaches 600.000. cninese and the allies are. strengthening the garrison as against a possible surprise. It is supposed that one- L third of the inhabitants are Boxers. THE PEKIN NEGOTIATIONS. Proposals Are Not All Satisfactory to Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. It Is said that the details of the proposition before the -council of Ministers at Pekln, as set out in the London special dispatches, aro L substantially correct. However, they are not included in any note so far received here officially, but are rather comprised In a series of notes and telegrams that have been exchanged between the State De. partment and Minister Conger day by day as the negotiations proceeded. The State Department has regarded several of these propositions as extremely unwise or un desirable, but has not felt that that fact justified the United States in withdrawing singly from the concert of the powers. The rather severe criticisms of the English press upon the attitude of the United States relative to the Chinese com plications, based upon the advices of their American correspondents, have naturally attracted a good deal of attention here. With a view to ascertaining what basis there might be for these criticisms, an Inquiry was made today in an autnorlta tlve quarter, with the following results: "The comments of the London press on the attltudevof the United States In the pending negolatlons In China are found ed on a complete misunderstanding. So far from the Government interposing any obstacle to an Agreement among the powers at Pekln, Mr. Congee has been In structed frequently and in urgent terms to do .everything possible to bring about & speedy agreement. This Government took no part In the expedition to Pao Ting Fu, but It made no protest against it, and has given no ;xpression of opin ion to the other ponera as to its pro priety. "This Government is in agreement with the powers in demanding severe and ade quate punishment of the principal wrong doers, Indemnity for tho past and security for the future. It does not, however, at this time and distance, presume to decide who are the most guilty, what punish ment must be inflicted In each particular case and what sentences are possible of excutlon. These matters, as well as that of indemnity, are left to the negotiators on the spot. It Is to be presumed that they will not exact a reparation, either personal or pecuniary, which it would be beyond tho power of China to carry out." Quartermaster-General Ludlngton Is in formed that the transport Sumner sailed from Nagasaki today for Manila with four troops of the Sixth CaValry and four batteries of the Third Artillery. It also Is reported that four companies of the Fifteenth Infantry left Taku today, bound for -Manila, The troops mentioned com prise tho last of the United States Army In,, China withdrawn for service In the Philippines. The only, troops of the United State now in China are" the legation guards at Peklrt, in command oir General Chaffee. Admiral van Reypen, Surgeon-General of the Navy, has received a report con cerning the wounding of Captain Mlers, the ranking marine officer at Pekln. The wound proves to have been most novel, being made by a Chinese spear, and Is one of the few wounds from such a wea pon that American surgeons have been called upon to treat. It also evidences the Close quarters at which the Amerl can commander at Pekln was engaged with-' the Chinese spearmen. The wound had healed to some extent, arid Captain Mlers Is convalescent, although It has been deemed advisable to remove him to the naval hospital at Yokohama. The New Orleans has sailed from Taku for Che Foo. The Zafiro Is docked at Hong Kong. The Saturn has left Cavlte for Che Foo. REBELLION AMONG MOSLEMS. General Tuner Fu Sinner Mny Start One In "Western China. liONDON, Nov. 15 Dr. Morrison, 'wir ing to the Times from Pekln Monday, and referring' to the German expedition to to the tombs of the Min dypasty and to Kalsran. savs: "Opinion here condemns the looting of tombs, although no punishment could be excessive for the cruelties recently Re vealed. One English missionary had his eyes burned out of the sockets with In cense sticks. He survived his agonies for 36 hours. "A loyal Chinaman today discussed with me the probability of General Tung Fu Slang raising a rebellion among the dis contented Moslems In Western Chlni." "The Ministers are discussing1 compen sation for converts," says the Morning Post's Pekln correspondent, wiring Sun day, "and France and Germany are in favor of demanding' It. Japan and Russia oppose the Idea, and Great Britain and the United States have taken up a nega tive attitude." "It Is pleasing to learn," says the Times editorially this morning, "that the Amer ican Government deem their attituae mis conceived. The explanation emanating from Washington would be quite satisfac tory, were it not for a further qualifica tion which seems to be implied by the presumption entertained that the Minis ters will not exact reparation beyond the power of China to 'carry out. We are no advocates of extravagant demands, but If the Chinese court Is to haver any voice In settling anything that Is within Its power to execute, then the execution of the real criminals becomes a farce." RUSSIANS ARE ALARMED. Fear an Invasion of tho Yellow Horde. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 14. The Ros slya has made tha original discovery that the Chinese troubles "threaten to ruin the Russian Empire." If the powers. Jt Is added continue their present policy China will be unable to pay a money Indemnity, and consequently the powers wljl demand and secure mining, railroad and commercial concessions, which rwiil result in the division of China Into spheres of Influence and, ultimately. Into the partition of China, In Bplte of the assurances of the powers to tne con trary. The Chinese, It Is further asserted. Indignantly will emigrate to Siberia, and the "yellow hofde" will again "precipl ta'te Itself toward European Russia, which will sink to the position of a second-rate power. The other powers probably wijl be satisfied with this event uality, their Interests being solely com mercial." ' . The Novoe Vremya finds the, situation worse, and saya the powers 'must, act Independently. Henceforth, It asserts, each power must bear the responsibility of Its own army: Tho paper adds: "While the Ministers' wetfe In danger there was some excuse for a Commander-in-Chief, but after Russia freed; Tien Tsln and planted the first fiaff on the walls of Pe kln. she wisely withdrew a. majority of i net ; "troops -from. Count vqh WalderseeXL command. The other powers should close ly define Von Waldtrsee's- functions." Continuing- the Japanese-Russlau dis cussion, he Novoe vremya says: The, English journals In the Japanese ports arc convinced the Japanese can eas ily vanqufsh the Russians. However, the English back-down In the case of Port Arthur has opened Japanese eyes. The present campaign gave the armies of the two powers an opportunity to leaa and esteem each other." Several of the papers take their cue from the Novoe Vremya and follow up its argument In the same strain. The Boerse Gazette observed that "all the nations are seeking a Japanese alliance, but Rus sia's alone Is valuable." The paper adds: "Russia and Japan will dictate the fu ture of East Asia." ANOTHER EXPEDITION. Allies Start for the Interior to Pro tect Catholics. BERLIN, Nov. 14. Thq War Office has received the following dispatch from Count von Waldersee, dated Pekln, No vember 11: "The former Chinese garrison of Pekln Is now between Hualhal and Ksuen Hua, 52 and 89 miles respectively northwest of Pekln. On this account and also because of a request from "Bishop Favler for pro tection for Catholics threatened in that district, an expedition has been sent un der Count von Wartenberg. consisting of the FlrstBattallop, First Regiment, Col onel Jaeger commanding, a company of the Second Squadron, a train of mounted artillery, a company of Austrlans, a bat talion of Italians and a mountain bat tery." The Frankfurter Zeltung prints a dis patch from China saying that discord pre vails In Pekln between the military and the diplomats, and that the latter are also at loggerheads among themselves. The Voerwarts, the Socialist organ, says: "We are informed that the Kaiser is Indignant over the letters from soldiers in China, showing German atrocities there, and has ordered an Immediate In vestigation. An array order of this char acter Is in preparation. It Is incompre hensible, however, .that, such letters should cause displeasure In army circles, since they only show that the soldiers correctly execute the orders given by their superiors." The Berliner Tageblatt expresses a fear that some considerable time will elapse before the powers are able to obtain the .signatures of Bmperor Kwang Hsu and the Empress Dowager, but thinks that they will ultimately yield. The Vosslsche Zeltung denies the statements of the English papers that Count von Waldor see's authority Is not respected by the Russians. The aspersions cast by the French yel low book on Germany regarding her at titude In China are challenged by a num ber of papers.

He adds that It was equiva lent to a declaration of war. A drago man of the German Legation, in these reports, narrates the murder of Baron von Ketteler. He saya it was a carefully planned act of vengeance upon, the part of certain high representatives of the Chi nese Government whom Von Ktteler had repeatedly accused, even to their faces, of double dealing.
