Potsdam, Germany.*?The Kaiser ro^
celvrtl Prince Chun, who is tho head
of the Chinese expiatory mission for
the murder of Karon von Ketteler, the
sorinun Minister to Pokln. 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;

"We regret most deeply that Baron I
von Kottelcr met so terrllde an end
anions us. 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
