In gunboats and royal yachts. Royalty Ii
iar more democratic than most people imag-
Inc. They are secure in their places and
have no necessities of making pretensions OF
efforts to assert themselves. 1t is not an
unusual thing to see the Queen driving
along the country roads with her lady-ln-

United States woulddrive out for an airing.
and with no more ostentation. The Prince
OF Wales frequently walks out alone, and
on occasions like this goes around among
the people as nonchalantly as any ordinary
gentleman.
VERY ORDINARY INDEED.
The very day that had enjoyed the royal
yachts the Queen drove down from Osborne
House and through the streets of Cowes,
which were crowded with visitors. She was
greeted with honor and was entirely unpre-
tentious in all her acts and surroundings.
She was dressed very becomingly in dark
clothes and wore little or no jewelry. She
looked to be in the best of health, and her
full, round face wore a very complacent air.
Her carriage displayed the royal coat Of
arms and her iveried servants alone told
the story Of her exalted position.
1t is only very shert distance from here
to Osborne House, where the Queen is al
ways to be found at this time of year. 1t is
in the country, and one would never think
tnat the old wooden fence which runs for
such long distance along the wagon road
guarded the residence of the most powerful
and noted woman in the world. Except
when you come upon the six different
lodges giving entrance to the grounds, and
meet the relocated officials, it looks more
like the estate of some well-to-do husband
man than the residence Of monarch.
THE EFFECT OF THE VISIT.
For many years the German and English
royal families have married and intermar-
ried, keeping up a community of interest
that has been useful to both nations. The
young Emperor, who has taken his first real
lessons in association with his grandmother,
and the trained statesmen who direct the
affairs OF this government, seemed inclined
alter his fathers death to change the
friendly relations so long existing and his
treatment OF his mother left a sting in the
British heart that has not yet ceased smart
Ing.
But IL months has done a great deal
for Emperor William, especially to the
English mind, and his visit has evidently
wiped out much of the animosity bred of
his conduct Just after he assembled the
throne. 1t has filled the hearts of the royal
family and even the people with great hopes
for his future. One year ago when he was
here the first time the temper of the people
was anythi ng but cordial to him, but on bis
last visit he was we'll received, and the
comments of the public press were in
marked contrast with the bitterness of few
months ago. The last visit is looked upon
as having concluded lasting friendly rela-
tions between the two strongest powers in
Europe.
THE FALL OF BISMARCK.
One of England's leading statesmen made
the statement to me that the people of these
islands were especially satisfied with his at
titude toward Bismarck and the manner in
which he has handled the complications
which that removal naturally created. At
the moment that he deposed the Iron Prince,
there was deep regret at his conduct, as Ii
was taken as evidence that he was going to
do rash and dangerous things to the peace
OF Europe. Strange to say, that feeling
seems to have entirely disappeared, and
people are rather proud of the manner in
which the young dignltary has managed the
affair, which caused such sensation all
over the world.
And Englishmen are proverbia1ly fond of
looking out for their own interests, so now,
that this Government intends to practically
take possession of the country, Mr.. Stanley
has discovered it was quite important to
have an understanding with Germany, be-
cause the young Kaiser is by no means
passive enough to be fooled with. Hence
they have traded with and entertained him,
that he might peaceably give England its
way in Africa and accept the island OF
Heligoland, which the British did not care
very much about keeping and Germany
wanted. FRANK A. BURR.
