SOME OF HIS RECENT UTTERANCES CRITICISED. BERLIN, January 21. There was a stirring debate m the German Reichstag upon the Imperial Estimates. Hr Seiiaedler, of the Centro parly, described Emperor William’s letter to Prince Unit paid, Regent, of Bavaria, with reference to the art grant, as an unwarrantable interference incompatible with the federal character of tho Empire. [The Bavarian Chamber cf Deputies declined to vote a hundred thousand marks last August for tho purchase of iomo pictures, whereupon the Emperor offered tho Prince Regent the money, and made reference to tho Chamber's “meanness.” Prince Luicpoid thanked tho Ivaiser, but said the required amount had been given by a member of tho Bavarian Parliament.] Herr Vollmar, a Socialist, aroused tho anger of the President of tho Chamber by attempting to criticise Emperor William’s recent utterances at Essen and Breslau. Ho added that Germany’s policy in connection with tho South African war was at variance with the popular .sentiment. Count von Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, delivered a great speech. Ho declared that nobody could maintain that tho Emperor alone was not entitled to a. free expression of opinion. The telegram to prince Luitpold was of a private and friendly' character, and was not a Governmental act. It was not published in tho “ Deutschcr ReichsAn/.ciger,” tho solo Government organ. Tho German people, added Count von Bulow, did not desiro the Emperor to bo n mere .shadow, but an Emperor of flesh and blood. Tho Chancellor was not tho Emperor’s executive machine. Tho Emperor took any' suggestions Vnade in good part, desiring to obtain the uiiancoßor’s judgment and objections whoro they were warranted.
