Chun and the Kaiser.
By Telegraph—Press Association -Copyright Berlin, Sept. f>. The Kaiser, replying to Prince Chun, said Baron Kettler’s murder was an un-heard-of crime, and was branded as such by international law of the age. He readily believed the statement that the Emperor stood aloof from the complications, which made all the greater the guilt of the Government and its advisers. An expiatory mission alone would not atone for the crime. Pardon depended upon the Chinese future conformity to the usages of civilised nut'ons. Tho Kaiser later visited Clum and took tea with the members of the Mission. Chun was denied the military honors usually conferred upon special ambassadors of exalted rank until after expiation is made.
POLITE CHINESE,

Berlin, Sept. I). The members of Prince Chun’s Mission profess to regard the absence of cheers and military salutes at the recoption as an expression of reverence, not as a deliberate rebuff. They consider the Kaiser’s reception of Prince Chun without the suite as a mark of honor, giving the visit a familiar and private character.
