Emperor ,William received Prince.Chun In the throne room. Tlie Kaiser remained seated throughout the interview. .When the Chinese Prince approached the Emperor he bowed low ouee? some witnesses said nine times. He ultimately l?ow. d himself out buckware';. Prince Chun said that the Emperor of China bad sent the expiatory mission to Germany no less of his own will than as a compliment to the Powers. Tho Prince added that the <'hi ueso Emperor stood entirely aloof from tlie Boxer disturbances In China, but in accordance with Chinese practices he accepted the responsibility. He then read tlie following message from his brother, the Emperor of China, written on yellow silk: "Greeting: Ever since the empires have been mutually represented by permanent legations >ve have stood in {Uninterrupted friendly relationship with one another. Uufortunately, in the tilth month of la at year Boxers fehelllously penetrated l'ekin and the soldiers joined them. The result was the murder of your Majesty's Minister. Baron von Kettoler, a man who, so long as he occupied his post at Pekin. paid careful attention to the interests of our countries and to whom we were bound to pay our special acknowledgements. , in mr miicito ai.ti earn est wish that this may he so I bid youi Imperial Highness welcome." . The withholding of military and other honors from Prince Oh tin upon ids arrival at the palace was Inteiid?ed to convey the idea that his errand was one of atonement, and the same * | i reason diet a led the lunintenanee ol' a 1 and frigid demeanor by K:n(pcror William until tlie cxpitUyu^; oii; dresft was read and his Majesty had irepLh d.

Thj fact that we were not in'a position to take due protec-1 tlve measures was paiuful to our feelinit of responsibility. It was our, feeling of responsibility' that prompted us to erect a monument on the spot as a sign that the crime would not remain unexpiutcd. Further, we have sent to Germany with this letter j Prince Chun Tsat Fong, at the.head I of a special mission. Prfnco Chun, j who 1^ o-jrr ov.-u lirother, will assure jotir Majesty how deeply the events of the past year have grieved us. and how deeply the feeling of penitence 'and shame still animates ub. "Yoyr Majesty sent your troops from l'ar distant to put down the Box^r rebellion and restore penco for the1 welfare of our nation. We have therefore commanded Prince Chun to express personally to your Majesty our thanks for your efforts in promoting peace. We cherish the hope that your .Majesty's indignation has given place Jto tlie old feelings of friendship. That the relations of our empires may be even more extensive, intimate, niul of a henetlclal character than hitherto is our firm assurance." ^ Emperor William, in responding, emphasized with clear enunciation th?> most striking passages of his reply | "No joyous or festive occasion nor the I 'fulfilment of a simple act of courtesy," I ftio began Impressively, "brought your ' Imperial Highness to me, but a deep- ' ly melancholy anil sorlous event," ' After l-eferrtxii? t<? ttnmn ? ?? i ??r*? murder, lie continued: "1 really believe that your lilghnoiiB's imperial brother ]>crHoimUy stood aloof from the crime and the subsequent acts of violence against the Inviolable legation* and iwaceftil foreigners. All the greater Is the guilt which falls upon bis advisers and his Government. These must not delude themselves Inf*> believing that by an rpiatory mission alone they havo made atonement and obtained pardon /or their guilt. This can only be done by their future attitude In conformity with the prescriptions of international law and the usages of civilized tuitions. i "If the Emperor of China conducts the government of his great empire henceforth strictly In the spirit of these prescriptions then his hope will be liiltillcd that the sad results of the complications of the past year will be joverome, ami that between Germany and China, as formerly, lasting peaceful and friendly relations will again prevail and conduce to the benefit of the two nations and the whole humai v <, ., x > 1 - * )RT FOR iEKIHEH !
