BERLIN, March 23.-herbert Bis
marck's visit to England. following 80
close upon that of Sir Edward Mallet. the |
British ambassador, has given rise to ali
NOR that England Is about to join. the
triple alliance may, however, be dismissed
summarily, as may also the statement OF
the official press that the count Is merely
making u holiday visit The fact is that
the visit has a double object, the most
important part Of which is the arranaee.
ment of the details for the emperor's visit
TO England during the coming sumner
and to ascertain the wishes of Queen Vic-
toria as to whether his visit shall be
merely of domestic or shall assume a
state character. During the past week
Count Bismarck has had series of long
interviews with the emperor at which the
matter Of his majesty's visit was
fully discussed. In the second place
Count Herbert will take opportunity 70
discuss with Lord Salisbury colonial mat
ters affecting the two nations. Ii is not
Improbable that some Kind OF an agree
ment will be arrived at embodying the
principles of future colonial policy, where
British and German interests come in con-
tact.
The Boerson ZeitunR says that Count
Herbert Bismarck will endeavor to bring
the differing colonial views OF England
and Germany into harmony
The Post tonight announces that the
Samoa conference will be postponed, prob
ably until the beginning OF May This
may be regarded as indicating desire TO
await the outcome Of Her6erts mission.
Bismarck's reprimand of DR.. Knapp Is
much commented on.
The Freisinnige Ieitung points out that
DR.. Knapp was really driven into state
| of furore by the Herbert Bismarck des-
patch of January 8. instructinR him to Ell

who, he said, by attacking had brought

The seizure by police authorities of the
! Volks Zeitung has created great sensa..
tion and a legal decision upon the right OF
the police to suppress the paper is awaited
with considerable interest. Even the
national liberal press have not word to
say in defense Of what is generally rated
as a rash and imprudent proceeding on
the part of the police, while feelings of the
liberal party are shown by paragr sphs in
FreisinniRe Zeitung entitled "Fearess,
and Enduring, and advising a steadfast-
ness under the threatened reaetionary
measures of the government, which look
like return to the time of King Frederick
William.
| GERMANY's WHITE BOOK.
| SAN FRANCISCO, March 23-ln the
white book published in Berlin respecting
the Samoan matters, Bismarck refers to
the. errast or Gallien, the Englishman, by
the German consu at Apia tor suggesting
that Mataafa should write to Ex-Governor
Grey of New Zealand as to the course the
Samoans should pursue. Ex-Governor
Grey, when asked respecting his views by
the Auckland Herald as to Samoa, said (:
ut would be far preferable TO leave each
of these island groups with an independ-
ent government, settling all disputes
among themselves by arbitration, and
guided If possible by commission OF for
ei0n powers. 1t is clear that America is
aiming at this line of policy, annexine
doing her utmost to preserve
peace. This is also certain to
be the policy of all English possessions.
In .his part of the world America will
eventually become the leader of the Anglo.
Saxon race and will displace England
from the position she now holds. Many
eyes in this part of the world are already
being turned toward America as power
that is likely to preserve the interests of
the Anglo-Saxon race in the Pacific with
out herself annexing anything or allowing
foreigners to do so IL is clear that the
center of power among the AngloSaxon
race is shifting to America. as the center
of population has already done.
Ii is therefore unwise of England
to neglect their interests at
such time of emergency. The United
States does not require standing army
and consequently th4 whole resources OF the
people so circumstanced could be devoted
solely to the maintenance of navy which
would make the Anglo Saxon race abso-
lutte masters of the world.
