ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.
LONDON, April THE government
is concerned in regard to the Berlin
crisis. 1t fears growing irritation in
Germany against the Empress and
her mother, Queen Victoria, will ex-
tend to the British nation, resulting
in destruction of the cordial relations
now existing between the two en-
pires. 1t is stated that Lord Salisbury
has begged the Queen to desist from
interfering in the controversy over
the marriage of Prince Alexander and
Princess Victoria.
