prer1y, July l2-The centre OF interest for

Nan IN England during the past week. All
syes are turned to London. and tho whole Ger

eliminated in filling an entire paRe OF eome OF
the Berlin papers. No such interest was taken
IN Tho previous visits OF the Emperor to Eng
land for they were mere family affairs.
The present visit besides being to the Brit

by them. is regarded as having large sig

tho relations Of Germany and Great Britain
will be so strengthened by the understanding

The attitude Of France shows that she breads
