BERLIN, July 1.-THE papers OF this
city overflow with accounts Of the pop
ular triumph of Emperor William in
London. The semi-official papers, in
commenting on the reception of the
German Emperor in England, adopt a
remarkably guarded tone and avoid all
reference to an alliance with England
as an accomplished fact. These papers
simply re-echo the Emperor's speech at
Guild-hall. Thus the North German
Gazette remarks, that the Emperor's
utterance at Guild-hall coincide
completely with the views OF
the industrial and energetic people
of Great Britain in favor OF the main
tenance of peace. The independent
papers criticise the Emperor's friendly
sentiments OF England toward Germany
and towards the Emperor as rela-
tive of the royal family without feeling
popular endorsement of thepolicy oil
Lord Salisbury.
The Freistnig Zeit,tng holds that the
general character of the celebrations in
honor OF the Emperor and especially
those of the court and government
accordingly must be taken as an open
declaration of England's adhesion to
the driebund. Articles in the Russian
and French press, illustrating the in
tensity of irritation felt In Russia and
France toward England are largely
quoted.
tr-bi0
considerable talk in diplomatic circles,
has been recently circulated here. 1t
Is to the effect that NJ. Ribot, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, had
approached the Russian government on
the subject of coalition against Eng
lard Offering to cooperate with Russia
| i'm the seizure of Constantinople and the
formation OF new Turkish State in
Asia, embracing Egypt, under Franco
Russian protection. Apart from the
question of the probability Of its truth
the report has value as indicating the
tendency of Lord Salisbury's drlebund
policy. Nobody believes the French
and German governments will accept
Lord Salisbury's verbal offering OF
friendliness in view OF the practical ad-
hasioa-to their enemies.
The game Of Diplomacy against Eng
lands retention of Egypt has been al
ready opened. Members of the oppo-
site party are denounced as traitors to
the cause OF Socialism and declaring
that the eventful triumph Of the cause
would not be achieved in Parliament
but on the battlefield.
| Herr Beble began an address but was
hooted down upon attempting to warn
his audience against resisting the
authorities in the event Of trouble aris-
ing from the immediate re-enactment
of repressive measures by the
government. The meeting finally
elected three delegates TO the coming
International Social Congress in Prus-
sia. Two OF the delegates chosen are
known 10 have Anarchistlc tendencies.
According to decision recently rem
dered by the Supreme Court the social
circles are as much entitled to the priv
ilege of displaying the red flag in pub
| lie procession as are the members OF
any other political body to carry their
banners, The case arose from the
seizure Of Socialistic flags at the time
OF the demonstration by Socialists in a
halt in March last. The government
has decided that all pending treaties Of
commerce between Germany and other
powers shall be simultaneously brought
before the Relchstag in November.
The Cologne Gazette, in an attack
upon America and Russia, whom II
terms the bitterest enemies to Germany
and United States treaties, advocates
the refusal to both of the favored nation
treatment except for the necessaries OF
life, such as grain and petroleum.
