that though Lord Salisbury has not concluded

Alliance and, all disavowals TO the contrary the

Italy is TO maintain the existing equilibrium Ill
the Mediterranean Emperor William has the
credit of being high class diplomatist and though
he does not bring Prince Bismarck. he brings
Prince BsmaPcll's eager and trusted son. 1t is
therefore significant that Lord Salisbury is to be
in attendance upon the Queen during the whole
Of the Emperor's visit There is much regret
that the great Chancellor is not present. lie de-
sired to come, but considered that such step
might provoke the suspicion that England had
formally joined the Alliance, and Lord Salisbury
wished to avoid giving color 10 such a conclusion
In connection with this meeting of the Emperor
and Queen Victoria, Importance is attached 10
Lord Salisbury's utterances at the City banquet
on Thursday He therein declared that the Cabl-
net would not stand quietly in the event OF war
in Southeastern Europe The object OF ths
declaration is more clearly revealed by to-dsys
news from Constantinople, that the Porte has
become so xccnly anxious respecting the Cretan
and Balkan questions that it has deemed 1t neces-
sary 10 call out $4,000 reserves. If 1t be- as
Lord Salisbury asserts, that the Cretan dlnlculty
is not very grave. the Sultans order must have
special reference to the Balkans In connection
with this it is noted that Lord Salsburys IAN
guage on Monday night admitted that Russia
had observed the correct attitude toward Bulgaria
but he said not one word about Servia; and to-
days kilograms point in the direction OF con-
firming Bugara's fears that Servia possibly means
to provoke a war at Russias instigatiOn. Later
accounts also support the recent assertion of The
Standard" that Russia is increasing her armies
in the Caucasus, and that over 10000 above the
average number are now within touch Of the
Armenian frontier In short, European prospects
on this day of the EmperOrs visit look
darker than for months past Nevertheless, IL is
still possible that the inevitable conflict viii not
begin this year 1t is notorious that Russia is still
unready, and there is hope of cgasolidation in
France till after the general election and the
possible disappearance of General Bouanger. a
factor now counted upon. 1t is most likely that
the European atmosphere will become more settled
by the end of the month, when Emperor William
will have seen Emperor Francis Joseph and the
Car.
Much curiosity prevails respecting certain per-
onal aspects of the Emperors visit. There is
little doubt that when this journey was arranged
the Berlin and English Courts could not trust the
temper of the Londoners if Emperor William
visited the metropolis Everybody remembers
the Emperors unpopularity in English eyes, be-
cause of his conduct toward his mother; nor have
Engishmen forgotten the insulting language of
Count Bismarck in the Prince of Waless presence
at Berlin, respecting Germany being no longer
governed by a petticoat. Yet the petticoats
brother the Prince of Wales, win act for the
Queen during the Emperors visit, and Count
Bismarck is the leading man in the Emperors
suite. Evidently relations have improved since
the Prince of Wales openly avoided Emperor Will
lam when at Vienna. But many are wondering
how the Prince of Wales viii receive Count Bis
msrck.
The past week has afforded some unusual Par
hamentary incidents The provision for the
maintenance of the Prince of Waless children is
still under debate. The procedure. first by reso-
luton, then by bill, and incorporation of the
for obstruction You are aware of the details
of these debates, but cannot appreciate the depth
of prevalent annoyance. nor the dsintegration
of the Opposition. Many could understand the
eccentric movements Of Mr.. LabOuchere, but the
ineptness of Mr.. Morleys conduct is beyond COM
prehension. lie demanded finality, and nothing
short of signing solemn deed and covenant.
The Queen has given finality, and it is generally
considered that his demand is secured for the
present reign But it is impossible to pledge
future Paraments. 1t is also recognized by
serious politicians that fresh arrangements will
be necessary with new Sovereign. However
Mr. Morey'S persistence resulted in Mr.. Gadstones
taking only thirteen of his regular followers
besides the Irish Members into his train through
the Government lobby. Mr. Gladstone betrayed
intense annoyance at the occasion thereby given TO
the Government organs for adverse criticism

Mr.. Chamberlain's line in these debates has at
tracted universal attention. He makes no secret
that his views of democracy and republicanism
have been influenced by his visits to America
His opponents declare that these changes are at
rlbutable to the influence Of the high arstocratic
circles in which Mr.. Chamberlain now moves He

and TINS feenS Is stimulated by his celebrated at
