The eve of the interview between the Kaiser and Prince Buelow is characterized by a feverish suspense.

The newspapers, in a final warning, urge the Chancellor to insist on an unconditional surrender.

The utmost pressure is being brought to bear on his Majesty, and it is stated that he went to Baden on Sunday at the request of his grandaunt, the Dowager Duchess of Baden, who dwelt on the gravity of the popular feeling and 'urged His Majesty to retain Prince Buelow,

Later: Germany-The Chancellor's Inter- view with the Kaiser The Kajser and Prince Buelow have had a two hours' interview at Potsdam.

As regards the supply necessary for medical purposes, the following method of procedure

has been elaborated :-- .

"Any foreign doctor wishing to import morphia must execute a bond before his Consular authorities declaring that it is for his own use or solely for use in a specified hospitali. ✨

"Any foreign druggist wishing to impott morphia must similarly execute a bond 'before his Consular authority pledging bimself not to retail it without a foreigo doctor's prescription, and even when a pre scription is produced, that he will only sell small quantities. •

"The Consular authority will thereupon transmit the bond and the exact details of the amount to be imported to the Tm perial Maritime Customs, and when the Imperial Maritime Customs have issued special permit the consignment may be landed.

"Any infringement of the terms of the bond will deber the offending party from ever obtaining permission in the future to im port morphia."
