Ea.ot ., emperor w,lliam,s Death.

London Cables! The death Of Emperor
William promises to be the next great SEN
sation in Europe; Its immediate political
effect will be to bind Germany and England
together in q very close. union. The crown
princess OF England will be the empress OF
Germany, and the coming emperoris known
as an affectionate friend OF the prince OF
Wales and OF the queen. Nothing moro op.
FORTUNE for the new Tory government OF
.mored that all this was counted uponin the
very highest circles OF the two realms before
Lord Salisbury finally consented to take
office, and that it very. largely influenced
his decision. There are hints OF second
treaty OF Windsor that had really more to
do with the change in the administration
than the vague and shadowy promises made
by Mr.. Gladstone. According to this story,
Al he Crown Princess Victoria assured her
'5,iother that the death OF the emperor was
z lily a question OF few years; that
ION the accession OF Frederick William
q the imperial throne OF Germany, the in
+l,uence OF Prince Bismarck would cease to
he a predominant and disturbing element
in European politics, and that If England
would heartily support the colonizing enter
prises OF Germany, which are Frederick
Williams pet fads, there would be no oppo-
sition to an Anglo-German alliance, as
against Russia in Afghanistan, France in
Egypt, and the foes or rivals OF England
everywhere. All this being represented
to Lord Salisbury, opened up to him
q prospect OF being able to straighten out
the foreign relations (which had been
left in a seemingly hopeless tnngle by Glad
stone, to safeguard the British empire in
India, to retain control OF Egypt, and gen.
orally to restore the imperial prestige Of
England throughSthe world. 1t was this
line OF argument, it is said, which not only
decided Lord Salisbury to accept the office
of premier, but caused him to adopt the
unprecedented course OF combining with it
the office OF secretary OF state for foreign
affairs, SO as to keep the delicate negotia-
tions OF the next few weeks or months care
fully within his own control.
