BERLIN, July y11.-[Copyrighted by the
New York Associated Press. THE pa
pers OF this city overflow with accounts
OF the popular triumph of Emperor Will
liam in London. The semi-oficial pa
pers adopt guarded tone, and avoid all
reference to the alliance with England
as an accomplished fact. These papers
simply reprint the emperor's speech at
Guildhall. The North German Gazette
remarks that the Emperor's utterances
concord completely with the views of the
industrious and energetic people of Great
Britain, who favor the maintenance of
peace. The independent papers criti-
else the emperor's reception as en-
phasizing the friendly sentiments of
England toward Germany and toward
the emperor, as relative of the royal
family, without being a popular endorse
ment of Lord Salisbury's policy. The
Freisinnige Zeitung holds that
the general character OF the cele-
brations in honor of the en-
peror, and especially those of
the court and government, accordingly,
must be taken as an open declaration of
friendship to the dreibund. Articles in
Russian and French papers, illustrating
the intensity of the irritation felt in
Russia and France toward England, are
largely quoted.
STARTLING REPORT
which has caused considerable talk in
diplomatic circles, has recently been cir
culated here. 1t is to the effect that M.
Ribot, French minister of foreign affairs,
approached the Russian government on
the subject, A Coalition Against Eng
land, offering to cooperate with Russia
in the seizure of Constantinople and
the formation OF new Turkish state
in Asia, embracing Egypt under Franco
Russian protection. Apart from the
question of it's truth, the report has
value as indicating the tendency of
Lord Salisbury's dreibund policy. No.
body believes that the French and Rus
sian governments will accept Lord Sails
bury's verbal assurances of friendliness
in the face of England's practical adhe-
sion to their enemies.
DIPLOMACY AGAINST ENGLAND.
Some diplomacy against England's
retention of Egypt has already been
opened. According to the Cologne Ga
zette, the Sultan, acting under the
promptings of the French and Russian
ministers, recently held a council at
which it was proposed that the Porte
should call conference of the European
powers to consider the question
of the evacuation of Egypt. kilograms
received here from Constantinople,
with reference to diplomatic move
ments hostile to England, state that the
porte has invited the French govern
ment to resume the initiative in the
movement against the English occupa-
ton of Egypt.
THE SOCIALISTS MAY CARRY RED FLAGS.
The international movement among
the socialists is increasing. According
to decision recently rendered by
much entitled to the privilege of dis
playing the red flag in public process
sion as are the members of any other
political party to carrying their ban
ners. The case arose from the seizure
of a socialist flag at the time of dem
onstration by the socialists in Anhalt
last March.
AN ATTACK UPON AMERICA.
The Cologne Gazette, in an attack
upon America and Russia, whom il
terms "the bitterest enemies to German
industries" advocates refusal to both
of the favored nations treatment, except
for necessaries of life, such as grain ano
petroleum.
